If I Could Wish for One Thing

 

Caught in a vortex of beatific memories

Twenty- one years have elapsed

In solicitude, laughter, love

And quarrels, sometimes teary.

 

 

A caterpillar working assiduously

You dream to be a butterfly

With coruscating wings

Reaching out to stars with fiery light

And if I could wish for one thing

I’d succour your adventurous strings

In this incredible flight.

 

 

 

A soul so pellucid

Your eyes gleam, your strength they reflect,

Brighter than decies centena milia galaxies,

And for this I bear great respect.

Pride I keep on my vexatious ways,

And I believe my arrival was a serendipity

That’s going to remain a legacy.

And if I could wish for one thing

I’d make sure our love never sways.

 

 

We, two of a kind, but still miles apart

Have flairs that the other can’t brag about

And amidst this contrast, share a bond

Which can make Hercules quiver

And the Sirius stars enviously waver.

I look at pictures and smile with nostalgia

Tick-tock, how did it move by so fast

And if I could wish for one thing

I’d go back to cherish them again in the past.

 

And that was a tribute to the one and only Deepali Garg, my sister who turned 21 today (25/02/18). ❤
