POETRY

On a lonely rock

Tasneem Tambawala
She sat there on a lonely rock Face buried deep in her palms She smiled at every passer-by As they offered her some alms
But she was not on the lonely rock For want of petty morsels
She sat there out of solitude Escaping the gawking masses
In her lonesome days she looked At the deep blue skies
The dark and poignant nights she spent
With tears in her forlorn eyes
One morning as she lifted her head Someone knelt beside her
Surprised at the new companionship
She said, "Can I help u Sir!"
As he raised his dark brow
She gazed into his eyes “Just resting a while, my lady."
He said, still locking eyes
They talked till the morrow Laughing and smiling all the way Sharing their pains and sorrow
Till the end of day
Her heart believed in everything he said
But her mind didn't let her stray She locked her mind dead But she would realize one day
It was sooner than later When the happy bubble burst She let her mind out of its box She wished she had listened to it first
She woke up from her slumber And kept her dreams away She stopped dancing on her lonely rock
It was where she had to stay...
And then one day he came again He was not alone
Accompanied by his love he was Not a lonely stone
She smiled a never-ending smile And concealed her welling eyes She prayed her heart to stay a while Until they passed her by
Never believe the passers-by Coz they will never stay Laugh a while and make u cry And they'll be on their way
