There would be one…!

Of all the stars

Away and afar

Which glitters and flickers

There would be one - turning into a black-hole,

Slowly and darker as it would get, as much to

Keep all those lights; which showered all night,

Upon those faces lying along or singulars,

Prisoner of its darkness now

"Of all the flowers

In valleys of mountains and woods

Which blooms and attracts winds to caress them, and

Butterflies to sing for them song of love

Love which lovers carry while treading high and low

Through hills, while dreaming to trek down moon

Fascinating it as their treasure,

Of all the flowers,

There would be one - unaware of spring

Away for bloom, for no reason

And those butterflies would mock it while

Passing by carrying seeds of summer along

Of all the smiles upon faces

Wide and beautiful grins

This adds charm to those chit-chats

Loud or whispers

In the evening by the sea-shore

Of all those smiling faces

There would be one - lost in thoughts;

Unaware as if wasn’t informed to carry a smile,

That would watch sun setting down

Slowly through the clouds and a sky with red hue

Which as if wearing a make-up to compensate

For missing smile of that face

Of all the eyes

Large and small

Looking through haze of scenes to be looked upon

Some out of invitations,

Some drawn out of curiosity

Some simply looked upon without intending to do so

And amidst such chorus

Of all the eyes

There would be one – that would be looking

In blank space, at none

At what-ifs probably, after-all what sketches

A better scenario to look upon

Then those tiny what-ifs

Floating in leftover spaces in between

Things given to be looked at

And, things hidden out of sights…"
