Nostalgia

A memory,

The one that smells like hot chocolate and books,

Like a mirage in a parched desert,

Like a dewdrop on a wilted petal,

Like pulpy grapes; sweet and sour,

Catching fireflies, tracing constellations,

Imaginary space wars, with wooden weapons,

Drenched in joy, smelling the rejuvenating rain,

Trekking in the lofty mountains,

Stung by bees,

Chasing butterflies,

Sniffing bird droppings on my shoulders,

Chirping crickets; a live concert,

Berries painted on my tongue,

Threw stones on the lake,

Ripples; whose was bigger?

Brawls, love and laughter,

Now, a fallow heart,

Yearning for a rewind,

A pause,

On loop; infinite.
