Nostalgia

Do you remember the days? 

Those deep nights and hussy ways…? 
When two bamboos bustled…… 
And we sank into ecstasy…

Do you remember the days? 
When we kissed, embraced and became one forever 
When we could not live without each other 
And swore to part never… never.

Do you remember the days? 
When we hugged in public and danced in glee. 
When you slept on my lap and I on lee.

Do you remember the days? 
When the rusty folk cast their eyes 
Upon our each movements and sides 
But we flew higher and higher on love skies.

And now for a bit of abuse, 
You forsake me in sheer recluse!

No…no my only dear 
Cast away all thy fear 
Like bold lovers, let’s tread 
The path of love ahead.
