A New Memory

A phase in life I would love to preserve,
The cap on the fun was not so clear,
Believed to be a change in style and thought,
It turned to be among the best in the lot.

Off by the road, besides the stable,
Stood my place, memories behold and love untold.
All the 4 floors were chilled and dark,
Devoid of pain and sadness the world savoured a lot.
We stayed in and played, sometimes burned in the sun and sometimes bathed in the rain,
But the hunger for fun was outlived by the ferocious stomach growl.

At times seriousness beckoned at the door,
With extra bit of study load we stayed together,
Bore the burden and never wept another.
Weekends were outings or craze of sport,
Football, cricket or movies was the most popular resort.

Everyone partied and created a lot of fuss,
Of how the next day beholds the agony and hurt.
Call on a party and pizza was served,
To make it grand, drinks everyone deserved.
One shabby room crowded to the limit,
Fun talk turned emotional but the mood stayed on,
Sometimes it would be sleazy with all laughing along.

A page is no measure of the stamp it left,
My heart and all my pals will forever cherish those times we stayed...
