Today she got up
& did not put on her mask
The one that she used everyday
To fake all her tasks
That morning breeze felt different
And she felt no guilt
Still perceiving in his touch
She had to let it sink
The feeling of his tender lips were still on her body
And she was engulfed in his being
The love marks he’d left
Wanted to scream
But the world wouldn’t accept
& keep her names
She would be disowned
They would be dirty games
Who cares she thought
They wouldn’t know
She’d gone to meet him
In spite the turmoil within herself
She was tired of the mundane
It was time for the forbidden
He stood there waiting for her
Like 10 years back
Both had aged up now
& the time had lapsed
Her stomach had funny circles
As she moved forward to greet
Fighting the restrictions aside
She placed a kiss on his cheek
The plan was a drink & dinner & a drive back home
But the situation today, would take a new turn
The conversation was mundane, just at the brim
They let their eyes , do the thing
2 drinks & loosened up
They had now started to laugh
The guards were coming down
And he suggested a drive
The destination was unknown
& the morning went till 5
The music was regular
Not setting up the mood
They both were alone
She knew what would happen next
Knowing not how to begin
The communication was meaningless
He was just buying time
He loved to see her talk
Her innocence her charm
He was letting the whole thing form
The devil was in his mind
& he took the first step
Laughing like a child
Slowly he held her hand
The talks stopped for a second
And then she resumed
She stared into his eyes
And let her hand be
He peeked at her from the corner of his eye
Unsure of what she felt
He dint know how to proceed
It was her turn now
To let the devil take control
She led him ahead
Slowly down the road
Her heart beating fast
She leaned on him
Confirming her presence
It all came clean
In no time their lips had met
& the rest is what you can guess
They were spent in each others arms
In the cars back seat
As she walked out of his car; placed a kiss on his cheek
She waved him a good bye
Thinking that they’d never meet
She would get back tomorrow
And wear the same old mask
But today was different
She couldn’t fake her tasks
For no one would approve
Of her dirty deeds
She’d failed her marriage
& failed herself
& tell him that she loved
But she was 10 years late
She took the step ahead
And broke the mundane
She ended the already dead
They all disowned her
She was now alone.
She doesn’t know where to find him
For he was gone
He’d come back one day
& she’d wait that long
Cheers!!
Cheers!!

This is by far ur most beautiful piece, loved it... it takes u back to some good memories .
Their is a mask we all wear, to hide our ugly face, yes we all have one , the day u decide to take it off , it sure would hurt the ones who live their life by the book ... make ur own rules, live life on ur own terms , their is just one we have ...don't strive to make it large, make ur own cocktail , with ingredients of ur own choice !
Thnx khushboo... When we look at the mirror & we face the mask everyday there is a kinda force which compels to throw it away & break the barriers & set our soul free.. Its just tht some hv the courage to do it & some dont. M glad u liked it. Thanks so much. :)
Ohhhhhh its lovely... I am not good at understanding poetry... But how beautifully u have poured in the feelings in it... Sad feelings... But the truth of life.
