Soaked in silence, drenched in sunset
the paper boats of my town lay slayed
Shiver no grass of the barren parks
With the marching thud of twittering feet.
The breeze has forgotten counts of hide and seek
and coral puddles have dried out of thirst
to be splashed by angelic heels
Where went those songs, those childhood rhymes
of dauntless poets who ruled all seasons of time?
No pillow now hides a milky tooth
Would now no fairy , to the adults , come to greet?
Giggles and laughters are now a story of tales
The rainbow of innocence has gone so far leaving behind no trail
How fortunate we were once born as kids !!!
In the same town of mine
now mothers give birth
to only sane adults
