Memories have a funny way to show up

In different forms, shapes and colors

I hold a few close to my heart

The vintage bottle is one of them

It carries the essence of an old world

Which had a bohemian charm.


A curious childhood found it interesting

To see what was forbidden 

Packed in this intricate shape

As adolescence took wings

The tongue tasted the first sip

What a memory it was!

To swallow what that bottle contained

And feel freedom passing through the veins.


I still remember fondly, the benevolent soul

Who gifted me this beautiful bottle decades ago

He must be smiling from the other world

Seeing the bottle taking a poetic form.
