Poetry: Stranger
And then I saw this man, seemed to be wandering or waiting for someone. He was rather cute, I admit, so as usual, I began to fantasize – a normal girl’s fantasy. As I was going deeper into my imagination, rhymes began to flood into my thought as well.
This piece was the result. Its a very recent work – a very random one at that. I think, there’s not a day when I go out to the malls nowadays, that a stranger would come up to me, talk to me like they know me all their lives, or simply just smile and stare at me like I have mud all over my body. Sometimes it annoys me, but other times, it just fascinates me.
StrangersJuly 20, 2011I stare at the open space between us
Looking at you from a greater distance
Wondering if I’ll ever have you
A stranger I never knewYou glanced this way – but it wasn’t to me
You’re waiting for someone – that’s obvious I see
Still I wonder if I’ll be one of the few
Of the strangers you never knewIts always funny how people react
To this infatuation – frivolous act
Thinking its fine to mingle anew
To strangers they never knew
I know this is a little bit emotion-less and so random but I believe its never too wrong to say what’s on my mind, right? Or, write, what’s on my mind. 🙂
