TAKE A SAD SONG AND MAKE IT BETTER

distant memories return to me
those which make me smile;
and i stare into nothingness
as the fog starts clearing before my eyes.

the most unusual things you remember
specially the ones that haven't been captured;
a fall or a slap or an embarrasing laugh
etched in some deep corner of your heart.

bring back to me those moments,
i wish to pen them down again;
and smell those discoloured pages
recovering from its fatal fragrances.
