An evening to remember {Revathi Raj Iyer}

An evening to remember

 

Her eyes darted like a frightened deer;
Twinkling blue eye balls as if two tiny stars;
Scouring the bay front frantically;
as she waited for her dear one and only...

Tarsha was proud, bold and ruthless;
Killer looks, lovely gait, women hated her;
She knew this and couldn’t care less;
as she waited for her dear one and only...

Tarsha stood motionless, as she enjoyed her last smoke;
Her smoky eyes searched desperately;
Her mind raced, heart pounded;
Will he or will he not? she mused;
as she waited for her dear one and only...

The Limousine came to a halt, a man in white took a bow;
Tarsha saw the shiny shoes, there stood her dear one and only;
She could not see his face well hidden by a hat;
Was it deliberate she wondered?

Her heart missed a beat, as she saw her hero walk towards her;
Tarsha’s eyes lit up, her heart swelled with pride;
as she stubbed her cigar and ran towards him, straight into his arms

Her son, her dear one and only beloved little master;
For whom she had struggled, determined to make him ‘the man';
Her dream had come true, the smile lasted forever;

Oh yes! She was free now and ever;
This was an evening to remember...
