Analysis of Ebb & Flow



EBB AND FLOW

The blurred mirror of the bygone days..
Suddenly brings in a gush of memories;
Flowing incidents overflowing; run through my veins---
The mixture of good and bad moments,
The nostalgia arising a feeling of insanity.
The spreading smile...spread out widening;
Reaching the corner of the reflecting eyes,
Freezing the jaw line tight,  the reflection---
Then liquifying into a hot water spring:
The vapour cruelly blistering the soul,
But still holding the safest place --
For the untamed emotions!!
Well aware of their volcanic eruptions;
Their dormancy waiting to become active,
To empower the heart making it a captive...
At the slightest notion...of the tidal waves;
Rising above the worldly brain...
Thus making us flow with them in the past!!!
In their transient yet captivating reign.
