The Guitarist And The Actress

Black out, fade in,

spot light on the boy with his guitar.

Dim light, dim blue flush,

she sits in the corner,wishing on her imaginary star.

Same stage, same adrenaline,

same passion but time never intended for them to meet.

She plays on her role,

and he strums away at his gig.

Sound of guitar coming from his window,

no audience and no standing ovations.

On rented wings, she takes flight,

no rehearsals, no scripts,just tucked away passion.

In his camouflaged green,

he wakes up to his responsibility.

In her traditional prints,

she's all set for the working society.

The clock strikes twelve,

it's the end of two thousand ten.

He's at the eating place

and she comes by with her friends.

He's sitting at the corner

and she's at the other end.

Their eyes met for the very first time,

when they reach out to shake hands.

No lights, no stage,

no audience and that adrenaline.

Just the boy with his guitar, strumming

and in his room she sits, watching.

She talks about the plays, the roles

and in his room he strums, listening.

No lights, no stage,

no audience, just he and her,and their spoken adrenaline.

Twenty-six February,

two thousand eleven.

He and her,

like a match made in heaven.

You know what they said about heaven and earth?

A new chapter begins

for the guitarist and the wannabe actress.
