At the doorstepA Poem by ayisheA tale of unspoken bond that rusts as natural as Iron
It was when the sun was getting smeared with the decaying red shades of His palette,
It was when the uphill road was longing to breathe sience after a busy day- That she was ready to leave. She was standing at the doorstep,awaiting for her last perks and run back. Run back to her ailing mother in the damped room ,where hunger fights with diseased sighs . She was standing at the doorstep,busily collecting the memories spread in disguise of artmaking; Collecting the vastness of her own self created over that corner canvas for twelve nights and days. Collecting all those stares of his upon her ,uncountable to him . Her loyalty to time and counting assigned them numbers. She was standing at the doorstep,gazing over the ruins of colours; Gazing upon those litters ,where each paper holds a piece of her,faultily expressed. Gazing upon those reds and blues or whites to fill her biggest scar with crimson joy. She laughed at those seating hours,where her every ordered postures were paid creatory efforts for him. And for her,the concious existence went on drowning. She stood on the doorway,hairs unarranged,face bathed in evening lights and eyes enacting the world's most careful negligence. He stepped at the doorway. Handed her twenty five rubles. Begged her pardon for making her suffer these twelve days. She smiled;her last sensible smile. Scaringly pale if he could have attend upon it. She smiled knowing how her life have taken the most unpardonable change for those sufferings. They exchanged greetings. She swung open the garden gate and flung into the road,he stood in the doorway. Two souls parted just as they were meant to be.
