Your smile won't be the only wrinkle

Picture source: Internet

The skin you’ve been proud of will fade.

The flesh you walk in will kiss the ground.

Eyes will lose its luster and lips will be dried,

speaking of beautiful stories hard to remind.

Your feet will be hard as it has traveled hard roads;

sound of your soft feet no more had an impact.

Your smile won’t be the only wrinkle, think you can flee from that?

We are mere humans with no super powers involved.

Had the remote been in our hands,

the movie would have been paused decades back.

All I wish for is to crawl back to my childhood,

where eyes sparkled with innocence, where people were better,

where beauty was just not number and a face.
