A Take on lament.

     A  take on  lament.

These   are  the  age old  flats ,
That  housed  many  families ,
Many children   reared  and   schooled.
Age  has  its   toll on  crumbling  walls             
Roofs; the  panicky  owners  handed over
The once majestic  mansion  to  builders.
Its  rebirth is in  process  and  progress.

During  my  visits   to this place of
Wonderful  memory  and enchantment ,
Life  undergoes  many  stages of  pain
And  pathos  and  canonisation of your
Suffering, the only way  to suffer and  act
Without  demur.   These  are the  days of
Irretrievable  sin  and  unconfessional  setting.                    

These  puddles, pools in rainy days
The pits which we have carefully avoided
The  water logging in front of our houses,
The swamps   of mosquitoes that breed
Like  unchecked  avarice and   notoriety.
These are unsavoury recollections t that
Sail in your  hearts and  stay like sediments.

Yet, these poems of paper boats
Thrill  and  delight your  sail of days .
