Misty Dawn

I wished to be alone;

Not to be caught

In the so called love

And dating etc. , my pals believed

And vowed to be a bachelor!

Reaching home back

After college,  

Devoted  to studies,

Keeping all windows shut,

Never letting myself to be astray!

One morning when

I was in my room,

Irresistible fragrance smelled

And there I’m checking the origin,

To find a small gap between the panes,

To be seen a shade diminishing  nearby

By the mist-clad walkway,

Holding offerings to deity

She believed would

Fetch her everything she wished for!

I couldn’t see who she was;

I’m at a loss if it was the fragrance

Of the flower she carried;

Or that of her – fragrance that

I’ve  never smelled before!

Here I’m, looking out

Keeping the window panes open,

To smell the fragrance – no, no

To have a glance of the lass;

Go away, disturb me not,

The fragrance is permeating,

She’d be just reaching now!

The fog is playing spoil-sport,

A shade moved through gently,

Leaving me in obscurity!
