Footprints in the sands of time



College where million faces with dreams and ambitions sparkle in our eyes
Enrichment of knowledge and the exploration of creativity yet to be realized
Young guns put in all their hard work, and make efforts of various shades
Professors always told us that our ideas - with passion - would never fade

Called my college buddy, from my cellphone at eleven past five
“Hey how are you doing?” and happy tears came rolling by
Lectures, Viva and semesters, nothing could we remember
Except for the buffoonery and madness from January to December

Jam sessions, college sports and Cultural fests
Last day assignments, submissions and surprise tests
Disappearing to the nearby restaurant and getting high
Sleeping on a hostel bed, trying to swim and fly!

Skipping lectures and proxy attendances, our civil birthright
Forever tardy to class, watching all types of movies till late night
Classroom NASA scientists; throwing paper rockets with our hand
Created every possible chaos, we felt like a budding rock band

Love in my college days was all about a smile and a quick look
Keeping it awfully simple, without Twitter or Facebook
Ragging never took the repulsive face of suffering
No sadistic pleasures, just fun interaction was our thing

Discussions about the girl on whom I had a crush
The thought of her always made me pink and blush
Today I’m cheerful that she’s someone’s wife
The gorgeous lady is very joyful in her nuptial life

Let’s rewind the moments and plunge into the ecstatic ocean
Footprints in the sands of time and rainbows of emotion
Realistic or imaginary, breathe life into your childhood dream
Most claim to have put in all their effort, but only a few get the cream

  10. I need more X rated stuff in a poem like this.. :P ;) More hardcore material.. gutwrenching tsuff which could have been a different take on our college lives at the same time making it sound pleasant.. yeah quite a paradox.. :D This is quite PG rated for my tastes but this one again scores a 7 on 10. You are doing a good job at blogging.. But somewhere I feel you should let yourself go.. ;)

  11. Gr8 going partner, defntly those were the best days of life,as fr ur </3 it is rghtly said "Love doesn’t always end the way we want it to. But it always ends the way it is supposed to. If one love is lost, it only means that another one, sometimes better…sometimes not, but always, another love is waiting for you just around the corner,"
    Keep blogging \m/
