"The Re-appearance Act"

I have not blogged for a while now and decided to write something today. It's one of those 'Dry-mind' periods which come to me once a year when I have no opinions, no thoughts..all is silent and the creative person in me goes into hibernation. So, this is essentially coz I simply WANTED to write! Don't judge me...and for every lame word/sentence/phrase penned beneath..pardon me!Although, for some reason after finishing it, I feel it didn't turn out as tasteless as I'd expected:) Read on..

"The Re-appearance Act"

Down the escalator
I saw the shadow
Up I was going
Without a moment to borrow
Blushed and nervous
Expressionless, no words spoken
I stole a glance
My daily token
Same time, same place
Coincidence I believe?
But this is one opportunity
To fate I did not leave

So, I planned my day
From both sides today
But it ended the same..
..Same as every other day

Time check, style check
Even trusted my instincts
Looked for a sign
Or the smallest of links
Followed my steps closely
For the shadow again
Up and down the escalator
Leading to only pain
A beloved fool
I thought I could tame
Watch the clock
And win the Shadowy game

So, I read my mind
From both sides today
But it plotted the same..
..Same as every other day

Another day
Another chance
This time I relied
On a lucky charm
Spruced and dressed
Smiling for a dream
A wish in hand, two in mind
With a purpose I did glean
Made another trip, a mission
Two for a blessed guess
Three, just to be sure
Four..only to return shadowless

So, I looked at myself
From both sides today
But I am the same ..
..Same old idiot as every other day..
