This is a poem about nostalgia, changing friendships and growing up.
A trip down the coffee house lane
/
Years later I push the brown coffee house door
To get a hit of
The bitter scent of freshly brewed coffee
The crackle of the fat hitting the frying pan
The aroma of crisp golden-brown masala dosa.
/
Whispered conversations, loud guffaws,
New beginnings, old memories,
A couple arguing, a teenager reading,
Friends who are laughing
Oblivious to the future day
On which they might walk in alone.
Lost. Tired. Forgotten.
Just to reminisce about the days
When they were together and brimming with
Hopes, hearts and never-ending dreams.
