Rose


Neatly pressed in those pages
Turned golden
Is my red rose
Turned golden
Are the days of yore.

Carrying soft fragrance
Of some old world
Still preserved in those petals.

Takes me to a place
Where winning some silly game
My cheers grow loud
And your eyes gleamed
I didn’t know
Why!

A smile collected
On a page
A page etched
Of a rose.

Red.. yellow.. Gold..
My life nothing
But  strokes
Of  few fond colours.

Wow. I loved the way things moved from gold to red to page to past to one precious smile to back to rose-page.
