Oh! I shop at the Tiffany's daily.

The elegance caught
My eye;
The sophistication
With which
The glam and glitter
Were displayed
Had my
Curiosity hormones
Gushing and rushing;
The momentum
Of feet
Took me past
The sparkling display
Breaking only
Before a
Derelict shack
A couple of shops away.
I closed my eyes
And
Took a deep breath
And in that
Infinitesimal moment
I knew
I had to walk back
To that extravaganza.
I pulled
At
The glass threshold
And stood there
Hesitating
And
Wavering
While
The torrid june air
Disturbed the
Calm of the
Showroom.
Instinctively,
The shop owner
Looked up,
Our eyes met
And
In that one moment
The chance
Of
Fleeting
Was sealed.
"Bracelets?"
I stuttered
And stammered.
"This way."
A salesman followed,
Matching steps with me,
Asking me
Some
Unintelligible paragraphs.
My eyes glued
To the swarovski,
My mind doing the maths.
Finally,
I found one piece
Pleasing to
Both
The opthalmic
And
Encephalic
Tastebuds.
I paused.
So did the salesman.
"This one please"
Trained hands
Removed it
From
The case
In a jiffy.
Gently,
I traced its contours.
Took my time,
Exploring
Like an expert.
"I would like to try it"
Queenly,
I offered my wrist,
Stately,
He put the cuffs.
Smitten,
I whispered,
"I'll take it".
Scanned the shop
With
An extra milligram
Of confidence
Before
Coming
To the
Pay Here counter.
Smartly,
I took out
The seldom used
Plastic money.
Expertly,
I signed the
Seller's receipt.
Surefooted,
I walked out
Stopping
Only before
That derelict shack
To laugh
At my little
"Oh! I shop at
The Tiffany's
Daily"
Act.

Showstopper's Yesterday

The 12 inch heel, the confident gait, The measured steps, the sudden halt, The blush on cheeks, the smoldering eyes, The hands on hips, head held high, The silken gown, barely there, A tilt of neck, balanced well, The sultry glance, timed right, Perfect half twirl, played twice, With a graceful swirl, she turns back. The world looks on with stolen breath, Oohs, aahs, applauds, encores. The showstopper’s yesterday, Now hangs in a gallery, Fading parchment, guarded unnecessarily. No shadows of glamour come a-chasing, For vacant eyes and sagging skin, For shattering illusions, hanging questions, Am I never going back?

Faint glimmer in heart

Ripe autumn air’s come to bless. Showering sweet November caress. We could be holding hands and walking, Silent but still talking. Faint glimmer in heart. White winters, no flowers in sight. Frosty December moonless night. And here I am hoping for your arm, To keep me safe, to keep me warm. Faint glimmer in heart. The year twenty twelve is leap they say. Oh! I can hope some more, there’s one more day. Hope for smiling summers with you, Hope for blessings to rain through. Faint glimmer in heart. Dying, not yet vanished, There’s a faint glimmer in this heart. Linking with Trifecta : Week Fifty Linking with Velvet Verbosity : 100 Words

The pain is all gone

It wasn't the first time. And it would not be the last. She could not stand them suffering like that. She asked for his consent. He expressed his willingness in whimpering sounds. And the pain was gone – forever. Linking up with Trifecta : Trifextra - Week Nineteen
