So quickly the tides of time <br />When yesterday has turned <br />Into a dream for the memory <br />Childhood just gone <br />Instead wisdom as maturity <br />I shall not forget the pillow fights <br />A walk on a narrow lane <br />You said you disliked coffee <br />I had faint dream of marriage <br />The ceremonies I accompnied <br />I heard your name many times <br />The tears as it reached me <br />Your ears against my chest <br />To hear my heart beats <br />That would turn irregular <br />I am facing the blank face <br />The background as curtain <br />Goes up but emptiness <br />I knew my love shall be <br />I sow the seeds today <br />For flowers of memories tomorrow <br />I have already started plucking them <br />And I saw a few in your hairs <br />Let us not consume ourselves <br />I am not following any rules today <br />O love grieve me not to the extent <br />What have you given in love <br />Lost your heart for a bargain worthwhile <br />5/3/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/so-quickly/
