Someone asked me “What do you ardently wish for?”
Well, like any other girl,
I have bazillions of wishes that it would be seem incredulous
How all of them are inhabiting my mind
Which is as tiny as the most cramped room.
But my deepest delusory desire
Is neither overambitious nor utopian.
It is as unembellished and minimalistic as it could be.
But now as I tell you,
It is not surreptitious anymore.
Oh! How I long to sit at the wind for hours,
Not keeping any count of time.
Just glancing admiringly at the shades of the sky,
My hands resting on a carved wooden table.
With a tranquil-white kettle nearby
Containing boiling refreshing tea.
Illuminated by the gentle sunlight flowing through the glass pane.
I will enjoy the opulent comfort
Of the couch I would lie on.
It will seem as if nature’s undeniable beauty
Penetrated into my mind.
Carrying with it optimism, hope and happiness.
And I shall be at ease then,
Because this situation would offer me tranquility.
And for once in a very long time,
I would not be concerned
About the notifications bombarding my phone.
Lost in my own flurry of thoughts-
Barraging the doorway of my mind.
Sipping the lukewarm tea from my cup,
Oh! I would be in heaven!
As ‘Anne with an e’ says,
It will provide me a scope for the imagination.
