For years I
stayed ,
In the same
place ,
Protecting
you and your family...
From every
approaching storm...
Upholding my
poise , maintaining my calm.
Fiery summer
noons , freezing winter nights...
My body
signalled to give up...
Still I
persevered with all my might.
As the
showers of first rain touched the earth...
It spread a
curve on yours lips...
But ...I had
to face the wrath...
Of lightening
and thunder bolts spreading across the sky ,
Searching
for a link to merge with the land dry.
Friends ,
Relatives or Acquaintances ,
If they come
over ...
Appreciate
the magnificent glass windows ,
But forget
to recognise me ... giving it cover .
May be the
graceful black frames were more alluring for their eyes .
It was wrong
for me to expect , to get noticed with a torso of pale white.
Slowly as
the night creeped in...
Spreading silver rays of the moon
I felt I
have found my long lost friend in him ,
Precious and
pure...just like a flowing stream.
This
imaginary world of mine ,
Crashed down like a pack of cards
Reminding me
of my duties ,
Declaring I
am mere guard .
Every night
when you close the windows ,
Securing
your land of dreams ,
Somber heart
of mine..quietly screams.
Over a
decade I awaited , spinning strands of love ,
Desiring to
unite with my old friend , Amidst lovely ballad songs.
Patience
rewards you the most , I realized that
day ...
When your
house was rejuvenated , for the need of more space.
You removed me from the old room
And restored
, in a new block...
Where ,
Forget about
anybody else , even there was no window to pull me back.
My languish
of decades ...came to an end,
Breaking unseen chains ,
Letting me
feel the gentle breeze and the first drops of rain .
Glad I am at
your humble thoughts of not replacing me ,
Rather , helping
me in finding myself and understanding my worth..
Honestly
today , till my very core...spread a galvanising thrill ,
Yes , I did
feel it...Although I am a mere Iron Grill .
