Visible anxiety

Thursday,3rd January 2019

Whether you had told me or not

I could have still got you

from the crowd

with a simple hiss of word

I knew you had the number of questions

to hurl at me and wanted an answer in relation

I was prepared to for any query

that was to be raised not only by you but by many

I made the commitment

silently and secretly at the same moment

When you said "hello mister"

I turned around to answer

You had anger on the face

and wanted to chase

for blocking her road

I could read those lines

"For a minute" I answered and removed the vehicle

she was in the fit of rage struggling to control

I gave a smiling wave and she was gone

but she had created the special impression

many days later, I saw her in one reception

with the same temper and emotion

she recognized me in party

I too stared with no visible anxiety
