Would You Remember...

The warm baby eyes opened to the world,
And dreams oozed out with a natural zeal.
The mind believed I could win it all,
And in the smile, was the vigor concealed.

Slow and steady went on the process-
To find my place in the material and charm.
And the gain was a loss turned upside down,
When silently, the time, pilfered the calm.

And now I walk with a naked mind,
Thinking… Hoping –
A time of clay is what I wish….
A time to mould the innocent dreams.
And cherish to want them all one day,
Than enjoy the victory of the possessed gleam.

A stranger looks at me through the mirror
And shows me a person, I do not know.
Smiling viciously, through the tears;
And darkening my soul through the shallow glow.

In the mad, wild war with anonymity -
I let me lose to let me win.
A battle with life was what I fought,
And let death win it all in the end……
