unravelling, permanent stitches of time
reversing, unstoppable evolution of fate;
-
nothing, but a fool's foolish dream!
an impossible quest,
an incredulous endeavor of the sciences!
-
or... is it?
~~~
enthroned at the midnight couch
with the lamp's ghostly glow
casting shadows at my figure
gently sipping the chocolate milk;
-
ahhh, the music entrancing...
-
the evening's mild orchestra
howling its blank, silent melody
in the faraway distance
as the clock eerily plays
its dull symphony;
-
tik. tok. tik. tok.
-
lanky hands, beating forward
but every bit of the mortal
is now counting backwards;
~~~
maneuvered, by the cogs and gears
of spontaneous reminiscing
fueled by high doses of nostalgia
and sparkling with natural bursts
of chuckles and grins;
-
tweaking, unlocking, unfolding
chunk. by chunk.
the core machinery
the secret formula
the untapped mechanization:
-
my, them crystal memories.
~~~
unbearably still
my aging ears do hear it again
-
raw tunes of pure merriment
from a choir of jovial voices
