PERHAPS...

One day on the crossroads of life,
He’ll walk in.
Dazzle my eyes with the aura of his arrival,
And rush into my being.

Perhaps its happening now ..

I’ll swoon in his sinewy arms
And he’ll carry me into
The land of our dreams.
Of colourful tapestries and soft feelings.

Perhaps its happening now..

He’ll place me on a plush corner
And I would blush and be his muse.
His hand would run through my hair
And that would feel real great.

Perhaps its happening now…

I can see that I’m sleeping now
Two men in white are bent over me.
They say-“Struck by a speeding truck.
Unidentified. Body no. 287.”

Perhaps I’m dead now….

Great ending! very original
Lucifer said…
i wasnt expectin that endin at all...wow!!!
Si_Lee said…
such vivid depiction of unfulfilled desires and discontentment .. !
at least i interpret it that way ..

I won't say its beautiful ...for that would do injustice the emotion of the poem .. I guess the word I am looking for is touching...

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

PRE-ANNIVERSARY INSANITY

MY LIFE AND TIMES will be a year old on 26th of this month. Blogging has been my greatest pleasure since then. I would like to thank my countless (?) readers who have added to my experience on bloggerville. A huge thank you to all of you ! Why I blog ? #It’s a good pastime (lol...I guess it’s a lot more) #I get to read some real good posts (and take cues) #I get to read some crap posts too( no offence meant-actually they enhance my positive self esteem :D) #My friends and relatives see me in a new light here ( After all, now they know that I’v some good qualities too :D ) #I made some good blogger friends with whom I can have fun. I’m sure many of my loyal readers are still reading. For them, there will be a treat on the D-day. ( Don’t raise your expectations sky high-its just a post - no awards/interviews/guest posts ). But I’ll give my best to fill your time with a good read. I was turning the pages of my personal diary today and I found this. This is for you, my dearest blog (my
