REMINISCENCE



An idle mind...

A wandering thought...

Reckoning about the lost days...

And a lost friend ...

Reminiscence brings up

The laughter... the smiles...

The silence and the pain

It's strange the way

Those moments have waned

A silent little wish

Still lingers alongside

That those times return

As a remembered friend

Remembers another in turn....

PENCHANT

A small little thing

you do, generally


Didn't know it would mean

so much to me


A pattern of yours

became habit for me


Setting a pattern

to your change


now seems

difficult for me


Overwhelming

is the fact

that this

habit

shall soon be


nothing

but a memory


that I shall cherish



I know we walk

what'll turn out to be


a forked road


I'm afraid


To reach that

junction


for this journey

might be,


our final destination


together.


I'm hesitant


to take the next step


Would it be


Our last together?


Afraid to let go


Afraid to hold on



Treading


the familiar walks


I shall gather

those unknown moments


that quietly

slipped through,

turned into

a memory.


Habit now,

will be


a finger

looking for

conversation


with the other

caressing one.


Habit now,

shall be


Eyes I search:

Reminiscence

and a mellow

long long road.
