And she smiles ..

It was a boring day
uneventful and futile
and i had no hope
of anything worthwhile

and then i saw her
quite angry and hostile
i think the rickshaw wala had
overcharged her by a mile

and as she entered
I couldn’t help but smile
as even her anger
had such a style

but my lame grin
didn’t do any good
i appreciated her attitude
but she misunderstood

she gave me a cold stare
with her big round eyes
and then and there i realized
messing with her was not wise

The whole damn class
i kept peeking at her
the otherwise interesting lecture
seemed so very blur

every time she saw me
staring at her side
i would quickly look away
feeling embarrassed inside

but every now and then
she caught me in the act
i couldn’t look away from her
and that was the fact

she was indeed
such a pleasant surprise
she was that day
the cynosure of all eyes

and then at last
the darn lecture ended
dunno about the arithmetic
but the class was splendid

she closed her notebook
but she still had that frown
and as she left
her pen fell down

I jumped at the chance
and picked up it then
and like a lame duck said
“Is this your pen?”

I still remember how
my heart went wild
i cannot ever forget
the moment she smiled !
