Dubai Days....

The laughter is still ringing in my ears

And the images refuse to budge

My heart brims with longing

for those moments of noisy bonding.

Where are those stairs to happiness,

those endless nights of banter?

Where are those thousand cigarettes

Which we shared with countless secrets?

The way we prowled the corridors

caring two hoots about everything else,

Shouting war cries and swear words

as if we were the rulers of all the worlds.

Ah! the dirty dirty birthday bash

Mango juice and potato mash?

Water can Drums, Noise and Din

beating the day lights out of him.

As Sumanth rightly said ‘you can take the man out of the desert

But you can’t take the desert out of the man’

Singapore you have it all

But you aren’t like Dubai at all!

For us it represents the spirit, light and glow

of our friendship, love and exhilaration.

Would give anything to get those Dubai days back

We miss you Dubai. We love you Dubai.
