Our Old Lanes
We leave behind these lanes
Where we didn't ,happiness, feign
From now, catch away bound trains
And some in the future their speedy planes
We leave behind these lanes
In a corner among the classroom,bound
We lived, forever happy and sound
Hope someday we turn around
To remember all the sheer joy we found
Among the classroom bound
Where the mind knew no fear
Where every single inch seemed dear
In some cheeks flow a solitary tear
To recount all the wonderful cheer
The mind revelled without fear
With friendships built and cemented
None were seriously hated
Besides some teachers who created
A hard life for the ill fated
Through all this we fretted
But the bonds remained well plated
As we face these places again we see
Our youngerselves, so carefree
Now we grow away like a branched tree
Some free, some absolutely crazy
Those places again we see
We leave behind these lanes
Stay connected with a few friends
People follow their very own trends
Their careers they seek to mend
So empty seem those lanes!

ReplyDeleteShubham - tor old lanes is one of THE best poems i've read all my life! It is so simple yet so beautiful. There is so much to read between each line....and every word impregnated with so many memories; each different for different people, yet still the same! You might wonder why i am posting this on your wall. Well - it is quite obvious that I'd want people(both on my friend list and yours) to see this post and want to read that poem.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute marvel. Shotti. Tui eto bhalo likhish shotti jantam na! Normally people say they are speechless...my case is different - I am overflowing with praises!
