Random musing

She was at the corner
Of the vast room
Flipping the pages
Of her thick Novel

I, at the other end
Was looking at her
Her curly hair
Swaying with breeze

Her tender quivering lips
Her ocean blue eyes
Her milky white face
Her satin skin...

Truly unaware of me
She went on reading
Suddenly she felt a chill
All went dark

Raising her head
She looked at me
I felt a shock
I lowered my glance

With a snail’s pace
She marched towards me
I wanted to shrink
I was so mortified

She was so near
I could see
The rose of her lips
She held me in her hands

Slowly she took the match box
And lighted me
All was bright
Once again….
