When Life Was Perfect

those illusory days which rolled away like sapphire waves ! 
a dreamlike abode ~ 
cradled in an alluring landscape ~ 
a charming swing ~ swinging away innumerable times~
lots of eferevescent laughter, delightful hide and seek, 
floating rainbow-tinged paper boats on a rainy day ~
and you ~ you were perfect! 

you gave me the world~ 
a young girl's world full of tenderness and imagination... 
never forgot to celebrate our life of togetherness ~ 
under the canvas of an ultramarine sky, 
a panorama of pearlescent clouds gliding by...
among the dew-touched flowers unwrapped at dawn, 
which embraced us with a cadence of love...
but, as much you tried, I tried, 
that life fell apart, 
life was not perfect any more! 


can you bring me back those moments? 
when every moment was miraculous dew-drops on lotus-leaves, 
shaking, quivering... almost disappearing~
fragile, but mysteriously permanent! 
you are still perfect~ 
there was never any other you~ 

                                              
                                        FIRST PLACE
