Trembles and Thrills
Trembles and Thrills
I was thrilled, trembled.
Toy car rushed with cracking sound.
Playful childhood ran.
I wished only to buy toys.
I grew old, lost interest.
I was thrilled, trembled.
I was placed top in school exam.
High rank was the aim.
Competition continued
I got thrilled on every win
My first love thrilled me.
I was trembled on first kiss.
Romance came in life.
I chose my life long partner.
Parenthood appeared in thrill.
Old age knocked at door.
All attractions have ended.
I am just waiting.
New thrills and trembles will come
I will greet my Divine Death.
