Poignant Recollections By The Inmates Of The House.

Poignant     Recollections   By  The  Inmates  Of  The House.              

It  has been  precious  thirty  years
Since  our  mother  reached  Heavenly   Abode.
 The  ancestral   palatial   house,
 our  home, Resting  on pillars,  as  she
Rested  on  her   Deity, protecting symbol
a monumental   rock of  our  stay.

During  our  yearly regular  visits,
Memory  revitalised  by poignancy,
Concomitant  to our  unfading  moments
Of  life   and strife  and  shift   and  stay.
Rills  of   winding   staircase  echo
A tune of   past ,dipped in melody sad.

Copper  utensils, thin  filmy   soot  on the wall ,
arranged  vessels  and  cupboards,
Coffee  mugs  in multiples,
For all of us rightfully
Demanded  cups  of  coffee
In  the   fresh   morn  and noon.   

A discarded  mobile , crave for use,
Picked   and  cared  by  her, amidst  books
and publications ; messages   and   numbers
 in languished state. Verses   and   worshipful
Muses, her  language   Life’s immediacy.
Her  voices, vision, her recordation
All  her language, we still speak  and  voice.
