Yesteryear Memories

Who is the child playing in the white and crimson clouds
With the sparrows in the eyes of his merrily smiling mom
Setting free her poetry pigeons making both laugh aloud
In the pain of the solitary leaves what a white rose balm

And you Clara strumming the guitar in the cinnamon shade
Tempting the teen to paint his passion on the chiselled smile
As in the indulgent darkness a tipsy light the moon sprayed
Brush and canvas engage deeply to make many a love style

There the ocean splashing the colours in an obvious oomph
On the rooftop near the beach a full moon ready for fission
In between them  hundreds of wings spraying a blue perfume
The night belonged to the moon and sea in a purple flirtation

Under the desirous hills amid the restless sun and shadow
On the  dew-soaked grass the stories that you and I know
Come clouds do come just for a while  at my hungry window
In my pink tears of twilight let me have a look at the rainbow

Probir, your poetry is artistry. Your lines, your words, live a life of amazing imagery of colors and emotions and wants and desires that dance with each other in a rhythmic flow. Every line is as beautiful as the line before or after it. I so enjoyed reading your poem this evening. Good luck in the contest! :)
