My Brother

In Uncategorized on December 20, 2011 at 10:09 am

Together, hand in hand, we took our first step,

Into this world, without fear we leapt,

My little brother, my world, my life, 

Loves all, from people to food to bikes

 

A time came when life asked us to part,

It made us to sit in our own respective carts, 

Hand in hand slowly became very rare, 

Little time did we have to even care or share

 

But in reality, little time was just an excuse,

Our relation became more of email and abuse,

Love was still there, but was slowly getting clogged,

Reasons many, we thought of, to fight and mock 

 

But the truth is I still quietly circle around him 

In this materialistic world, full of fancies and whim 

I believe  he has his secret problems and issues, 

About which I really have very few clues

 

All that remains are some memories and pictures, 

In my life, he still holds a permanent position and fixture

Not only in mine, but also my beloved parents’ world

With my big brother I still walk, but with a twist and a twirl
