I Recall

I recall the days of past,
sitting with friends long lost.
Those innocent moments,
of which i often lament.
Sitting alone on a full moon night,
savoring the beautiful sight.
I recall those youthful days.
When we would spend our time in a nearby bay.
Running about in the sandy shores.
Exploring the sandy contours.
One day responsibilities fell on my shoulders,
a lot of questions with very few answers.
two brothers and one sister,
Had I to foster.
No longer had I time to play,
as there were bills to pay.
nurtured my siblings,
Into responsible human beings.
Then they left
making my life bereft,
of any companion.
Taking away all the fun.
Craving for mate(s)
I would hang out till late.
In the bay
of my youthful days.
But i guess it was my fate,
to spend my life without any mate(s).

Having been deprived of so many mates over my lifetime, this poem was very poignant for me, and I will remember it. Such an action establishes a link, so you're never completely along. Best wishes Vinayak.
