Poem
Sometimes you are stopped in your tracks and you have to stop and stare, I saw someone so beautiful, but she was just sitting there. As the world passed her by in all its majestic glory, I stopped a stranger and asked of him, ‘Do you know of this girl’s story?’ He stopped and looked at me and bowed down his head, He told me that she was someone once, but many think she’s dead. It happened a long time ago, her lover did her a wrong, The tale he can’t remember but the words are in a distant song. I wanted to know so much more so I waited there that day, To see if she would turn towards me or just walk the other way. But she sat with far away eyes on her sad expressionless face, I looked around for guidance, but we were strangers alone in this place. But life wasn’t always like this, I found out in a little while, There was a time when she laughed and her face always carried a smile. Everywhere she went, people stopped and stared, So many people loved her, so many people cared. Climbing up the wall is now the highlight of her day, Remembering when to go and never out doing her stay. Eyes completely open, staring blankly at the wall, Is she waiting for forgiveness or destiny to call? I decided to take a chance, I moved across the room, My heart was beating faster, have I moved to her too soon? I stopped by her table and asked, ‘Is this seat taken?’ Her sad eyes looked up to me, warming if I am not mistaken. Words were not forthcoming, but I saw a glimpse of a smile, I sat down slowly, heart beating faster, my senses were on trial. I went to say a word, but she stopped me with a fleeting glance, My whole body mesmerised, it was if I was in a trance.
