POSTER GIRL
Confess
my heart surprises life well,
Why
eyes are attracted, rebellious often,
Stand
inert, forgets place, time, walking,
Halt
suddenly near the wall look at,
Minutes
feel second look around alert,
Try
to observe if anyone notices me,
Thank
God no one noticed walked home,
The
poster still lingers in heart thunder,
How
beautiful that model, attire attractive,
Wonderful
village girl looks behind intense,
Her
cotton printed cloth, nine yards,
Catch
sight of her picture magnetic more,
The
dark eyes, famine waist, black hair,
Tied
with colorful ribbon flower beads,
Bare
feet, tiny, youthful gait postures,
Color
brown complexion, long nose,
The
attractive face piercing look enough,
The
pitcher on the waist holds a hand rounded,
The
colored glass bangles, shiny eye rings,
The
incident minor that day is never forgotten,
The
face of a village girl, she was a model,
Highest
paid actor, model fashionably famous,
But
the dress, her look, poses capture me,
The
innocent emotive eyes probing,
Wait
and turn, watching the figure,
The
question, for whom, her lover,
Her
child behind or friend was calling,
Listless
questions floated in me, lingered,
I
smiled, ashamed a bit of what is doing,
Remember
how I left the place like a thief,
Was
it a crime my heart rebellious fought,
What's
wrong watch a poster on the wall!
Years
progress, but not forgotten her,
Where
the rich model, me an ordinary man,
Matured,
educated, understood life,
Forgotten
youth, its notoriety rebel,
Eyes
mischief, ears quarreled, tongue tasty,
Mind
behaved as if a sage wink at a poster,
Encountered
dreams factious sit idle,
Floated
this executive frame, imaginary,
She
talks to me, gossips with me long,
Breaks
the cruel dawn disappear like mist,
How
sad, pseudo, missing could know,
Love,
attractions physical, infect a young heart,
Age
advances, world illusive failed frustrated,
Gained
now calm mind quietude demeanor,
Less
reactive to attractive women, dresses,
Their
eyes and nose, colored lips, slender a body,
Overtook
politeness, respect womanhood,
Mischief
monger the mind chained decent,
Move,
in the car halt poster girl, perpetual youth,
Laughed
silently, an aged man looking at her,
Dropped
jaws through his glass glances,
Moves
a rickshaw puller halts attentive,
Lit
a cigar, smoke for a while, move further,
Hay,
a group of boys are standing talking,
Know
the center of the topic, the poster girl,
Ah,
human life err, men's life hunted,
Back
home on a sofa, think newspapers,
Television
adds happily, the face for years,
From
cigars, cloth, earrings, perfumes,
Listless
merchandise urban life sick,
Her
cajoles, enticing eyelashes, biting lips,
A
cigar, one rupee foolish heart smoke,
Millions
for the pose, poster girl, no joke!
