Coloured Memories
Coloured memories
Giggles resonated inside as I opened the end drawer
Of my study table on sudden visit of empty ancestral home
Some dust-laden crayons caught my sight
Only to lead my soul in coloured memory lanes roam
The crayon brown gave stains of puddles on my school uniform
Yellow metamorphosed to fluttering butterflies of cottage garden
Pink prompted the thrill of buying bubble gums and candy floss
Orange reminded of old grandpa's home staying at end of market lane
Red complained you forgot your polka crimson frock
White revived pleasure of canvas shoes brought by Dad from his office tour
And black Mom's lustrous hair that she combed after showers
Green crayon cued taste of gooseberries sour
Blue crayon still imbibed magic of winter noon skies
Indigo of the vase I broke running through corridor
Every crayon has a story wrapped
Pleasant coloured memories wonderful mariner
