An Ode to a Pen

                        An Ode to a Pen

Nostalgic memories flood back

As I hold you around your waist

Brings back the fresh smell 

While you danced around.

The tap of your feet,

The flawless swirl of your curves

Transcends me into a world

Beyond my comprehension.

The little girl I was

Aspiring to be a writer

Yearning for your company

Like the new lover.

Alas our relationship

Seemed to have fizzled

Newbies taking the place-

The mobile and the tablet

But lament no more

As I draw a promise

To hold you with love

And revive the dance – the dance of the pen!
