2 minutes or so!!!


That the day was "so short", would make me so rude
Saying she was "so hot", would make me so prude
When I talk about her, in a manner so crude
Beginning my story, to her, a prelude.

The journey began, bereft of energy
And I sat alone and guarded by the clergy
The one on my right had a face so dingy,
And the one on my left cast a look so stingy.

Awaiting a face at which I could stare,
Munching my nails, and tearing my hair,
At last I bowed down, began my prayer
"O God, please trap me a girl in my snare."

Champing and chafing, I thus tried to sleep
With a bleeding heart, and a pain so deep,
Marauded, my thoughts, my chances so bleak,
Of gazing at the species, I then longed to meet.

Marooned by the fortune, I lay in repose,
When the scent of her hair flooded my nose
Beaten by ill luck, sick of its blows,
I thought it was just my wish for my ROSE.

When I closed my eyes, hoping some rest,
Then all of a sudden, I felt in my chest
The click of her heels. On my soul's behest,
I yelled to the Lord, "Don't you molest."

I pulled up my blanket, and covered my face
But a healthy commotion smothered the place
Enraged, I woke up, the unrest, to chase
And then my eyes split open, in wonder, in gaze.

Beside me, stood a lass, so white
The hue of her drape, so joyous, so light
The bliss in her eyes, darker than night
The gleam in her eyes, brighter than the bright.

My breath, it seemed, was put to a halt,
My heart, it suffered, so violent a jolt
My spirits ran amok, like a colt,
When I saw her face, a sprouted "MARIGOLD".

And....
what happened next?

am all ears to that.

The theme is common but the characterisation is unique.

Please tell me this is incomplete!
and so is "The Marathon Dusk"..

Keep writing,
It helps me when I dont have anything useful to do these days..(honest confession)
