Rewind

By Anubha Singh Jain

I wish to go back in time,

To see the roses blooming by that lake

Which has lost its mystic tide.

I wish to walk back into the moments ,

To see the wind gushing to lift

The broken twigs from the earth.

I wish to crawl back to the hour,

When the woman in the mirror

gave me a blushing peck.

I wish to sway back into the memories,

Where the fairytales were the unalloyed truth.

I wish to leap back into the glory,

Of un-revolted state of euphoria.

I wish to scroll back the photos,

To see the unquenched thirst in my eyes.

I wish to skip through some pages

And be truant for a while.

I wish to tip toe into the past,

Not to redo, but to unwind what today is mine.
