Mesmerising Musical Memories,by Sachin

When I heard the music –

fireworks shot the sunset,

palm trees swayed in the wind,

and chairs swivelled by themselves.

When I heard the music –

I thought about tense times,

when the air was thick and time tocked on,

smiles starting to fill the room and the silence eventually shattered.

When I heard the music –

I touched the baby leaf of a seedling, sprouting under a chlorophyll-veined leaf,

I saw the rage of the wind, arguing against candles,

and shaggy bees feeding ,

on the sweet flamingo-pink honeysuckle.

When I heard the music-

I pondered on gluing planets onto the sky,

wishing wands sellotaped on the wall,

luminous lark posters pinned to a board,

and wires twisting and coiling

like cobras

shredding flesh.

When I heard the music-

I saw a woman in high heels, striding in the rush hour,

yielding an umbrella ,

in the dashing rain.

I slammed jam donuts at the moon,

and smiled at what I had managed to do….
