One wet morning
The stage was set
Arrangements done
The audience started to pour in…
Together with them
They brought
Gossip, which seemed like roars
Looks, which appeared to penetrate through me…
Some were familiar
Some new
Some encouraging
Some threatening…
And all this while
Some devil occupied my mind
His voice was thunderous and deafening
And it was all I could hear…
“Leave it!
Give it all up!
You are nervous!
You won’t be able to do this!!!”
Frightened as I was
I thought to myself
“Will I be able to do it?
Can I perform?”
My fingers meanwhile
Raced towards my phone
They took me to that one message
Your message…
Yes that message
The only message
Which, out of thousand messages
Mattered the most…
My eyes scanned through it
Just to feel the magic
The magic that would help me
Beat the Devil…
The event started
Speeches came and went by
The battle between your magic and the Devil went on
And on…
As I took up the stage
My eyes traveled through the crowd
For someone
Who brought the magic to my life…
As time passed
My eyes couldn’t reach their destiny
But Alas! There you were
My confidence was restored…
Reading your lips
A sudden gush of adrenaline powered my speech
It went on without my control
For all I focussed on was you and only you…
It was over and I returned
But my eyes
They wouldn’t simply let go
Of the magic…
The results were out with my victory
My eyes gleamed with joy
The magic seemed to be omnipresent
Your magic…
