Just penned it ...

It was an anxious sunny Christmas morning,
And I was getting vibes of meeting my own Prince charming.

The Presents, Lights, the Christmas tree, everything looked divine,
And in came a handsome young boy, Ohh, I wished to make him mine.

He ignored me first, and then gave me a glance,
Our eyes had met, but only for a chance.

“Beautiful!” he whispered, and I blushed out red,
“You’re such a beauty; gorgeous, drop-dead”, he added.

He kissed me on my, rather sharp, nose and I gave a mimosa blush,
I realized it then, this was much more than just a stupid Crush!

Was it true? Was it indeed Love at first Sight?
He then, held me hand-tight, and yes, I knew I was right!

My world was beautiful, nothing more could I want,
That he was my man, round the world, I would flaunt.

All my wishes and all my orders, of course, he had to abide,
It made me feel like, he was my Groom and I, was his Bride.

In my early days, getting used to his Room, did feel a bit awkward,
But, once I got used to it, there was just no looking backward.

Sleeping at his desk, on the right side, was a matter of great pride,
As I helped him bring out, nurture and vent his own Brighter side.

I was his only Company, when he laughed and cried alone,
Through all his efforts and studies, until his Career shone.

He used to say, “You know where you stay? Right near my heart!”
And with me at my place there, I am sure, he looked very Smart!

I enjoyed his Smile, Laughter and his sly teasing Chuckle,
And also when the ‘Greens’ he fed, from my face used to trickle.

I used to be with him, when he signed any Accounts,
“You are my lucky charm!” he frequently would pronounce.

But time went by and Love became a burden,
And my merry ‘Green’ life started becoming barren.

20 years of my life were fun, until his Love for me faded,
He now Loved someone else - of what I had most dreaded.

Our relationship was over, when some 'Pilot' he favoured,
I felt like dying, on knowing that I was no longer preferred.

‘Was I so foolish not to understand him?’ I think of my past,
He said that he loved me too, but then, why didn’t it last?

Knowing that your Love is one-sided is indeed great pain,
And now, I lie near the unvisited window, alone, in heat and rain.

How could I? How could I have lacked this prescience?
Rightly they say, ‘Having faith in the race of men; Is no prudence’!

I loved him, ever since he called me his ‘Christmas Present’,
Then tell me, why is this distance and this apathy now present?

I lay in distress, agony and pain; and my sorrow grew greater,
Until a gentle caring voice I heard, some 5 Years later.

Life is long, things had to change and destiny had its say,
Life has given me another chance to now, smile everyday.

My world will be happy again with my new Romance and fun,
As I have found my New Love, in His own Son!

Kid Master, worry not with your Exams; for now, I will be your partner,
Remember, I played my part in making your Dad a Comptroller!

I don’t need any mending Master, so we can get on with our affair,
After all, ‘Mightier than the Sword’ is the tag I bear!

Yes, there will be Hope & Love again, and I will be sad no longer,
If you haven’t got it yet, I am a Fountain Pen and my name is “Parker”!
