Under the layers..

by rohitrohan09

Ms. Monroe - I had painted her on my wall In that room In that time That was once mine Like herself And is now gone.. She is still there though Beneath the layers, Maybe. Painted over Blind to the common eye But if you look closely Her traces linger He outlines distinct And her curls ever-flowing Even the mole Still there Under layers Of paint And various other things Becoming a layer, Maybe But she's still there Etched once upon a time, Now fogged by their layers But I still see her More fortunately, Still feel her There On that wall In the minds Where she shall always be..

Notes

I had painted a mural of Marylin Monroe on my wall in MICA during my final year there. It became a symbol of the room and largely of my presence in the place. Her flowing curls and her neat features caught everyon's eye.

After I left, as is customary, the administration painted over the walls to prim the rooms up for the new students to come.

However.. I can still close my eyes and see her beaming down on me.. I still feel, she's still there..
