Leafing through the Album
Eyes scan the Photos,
Black and white and colour
The smiles and frowns
The stiff and candid
Cherished memories
Though twas a moment in time.
The whispered nothing
The Cheeks blushing
The shyly held hands
At love's beginning
The coyness in the eye
Cherished youth
Though twas a moment in time.
The silent words mouthed
Behind an elder's back
Beneath the Mango tree
The stolen kisses
At our parents home
Cherished moments
Though twas a moment in time.
The joyful re-union with friends back home
The teasing and affection bestowed
The crash around the bend in the road
Taking you away from me
Twas also a moment in time
Yet, the pain and grief lasted Long
Until, I remembered
All those moments in time
We cherished together
Knowing, you left me
Stronger than I ever was
Now thankful I walk, Holding on
To those precious moments in time.

Wow. Beautiful poem Rashmi on the phrase of the theme "a moment in time". Ty for sharing. mine is at - http://jayaramanms.multiply.com/journal/item/218/CREATIVE_CHALANGE_9
You're on a roll.
Wow, Jayaramji, that was quick.. I was still editing. :) Thank you.
Seems like it. For a while, the business of life didnt let me sit quiet..I was going through a dry spell but today it poured.(giggling).
I wondered where you'd got to.
The kids have summer vacation, which means, Mom's on demand.
Chauffeuring?
Not so much chauffering, as keeping them entertained enough.
Recite your poems to them. That will teach them to entertain themselves (no offence intended). Or better still, make them sit and write their own.
I did that, My son is too young to do that so asked him to do pictures of all the things he saw/did during the day and asked my Daughter to Report, like a news anchor woman the things shes done, which means she has to write it out(yeah, I am a mean mom)
A life with so few words blaze this page. Outstanding!

:) Loved your Haiku in 3's. thank you for the kind comments.
Welcome to my page, glad you enjoyed it. Ty.:)
They forget everything if they don't do things like that during the holidays now and then.
Yes, which is why I wanted them to keep a record. I also told them to keep a record of anything NEW they learned to do during vacation. So they complain that its like they are back at school(giggling).
merge in that line and become as much as u can! that is what is required as of now! thanks for your visit to mine!
The essence of what was created between you is forever alive while you still remember.
Awww I was so touched Rashmi. A beautiful poem and poignant memories indeed from Those now cherished, moments in time.
Thanks for your lovely comment.

You're very talented Ramshi! Not that I hadn't realized that earlier.. lol
I like your style of writing and the way you express yourself! It's simple and direct, speaks straight in people's hearts and minds!
Excellent rhythm and rhymes work so well together to create a very passionate poem. It made me feel sad at the loss of the loved one. Life has a lot of tricks for us all. I enjoyed your poem very much. You touched my heart.
Simply beautiful, bold and intimate. http://barb4sun.multiply.com/journal/item/400/CREATIVE_CHALLENGE_A_MOMENT_IN_TIME
I always love reading your work. It's truly beautiful. I was actually surprised also to note that you live quite nearby in terms of distance in this country.
Thank you Ronnie:). Yes, we are neighbours.
