pen & paper

She was but a plain white paper—
Thin, white, spotless thing in the corner;
She was but as innocent as her colour;
Afraid of people to write on her
Her life is as lifeless as she may seem;
With no other colour that can be seen,
Her face was flawless;
Until that one night of sudden sadness
Alas! The pen saw her and got intrigued,
Fair beauty, even a beast will plead!
To share with a cup of tea and talk;
Even it’s impossible, he’d love a walk!
Day by day, he is charmed;
Day by day, she is alarmed.
For his touch will diminish,
The paper that has no blemish
Chances are possibilities;
She is stuck in pen’s uncertainties,
Unless, she takes the risk,
And let the pen do a whisk.
Truly, life is risk-taking.
Wonder are in those who’re here reading,
For they know how I made a masterpiece,
In pen and paper’s story piece.
