Plucked Memories

I want to wander inside Grandpa's mind
 drink in multi-hued core thoughts 
intimately lounging there-- 
glide with wild violin notes as they
 light evening's way;
 listen to this troubadour who prances 
through the flourishing roots of music,
sway with flashing sparks of desire
 as they hover just above me-- 

And all my passions will reveal
 themselves , lavishing secret dreams 
on me which only I have the access to
his inner sanctum where my private
 thoughts become rivers of rhythm ,
nourishing the hungry desire to be me
and partly him --tears and all --how we
 held each other's arms as tunes from
breaths snuffed his charmed life.

What a sweet, lovely and beautiful remembrance dear friend of your grandfather. With some most beautiful Poetic lines blended with the charms of metaphors. 'he scattering fiddle songs on painted walls..' It was a joy to read such a sweet remembrance. and your excellent Poetic work dear friend Nette and thank you so much for your kind and precious words on my Kashmir poem. My good wishes for your contest entry. Love and best wishes always....Ravindra K Kapoor
