Do you still remember
Those old streets and lanes
Where in a few seconds
Stolen from the world
And in the guise of games
Your lips had smeared
Your moments
On my forever, for ever?
Red yellow green blue
None could beat your smile
When you looked at me
In silent expectations
What were these colours
All but mere excuses
To touch life
Everytime I touched you.
Do come to my dreams
And we’ll play again tonight
Where I will smear on you
Our memories
As you throw on me some life
And then, as we beat death
One more time
Our Holi will be complete.
