Dark Room

Suddenly a gust of wind blew out the light,

While I was assiduous in scribbling on papers.

I looked into the drawer of my table,

But in a hurry, I was unable to get the candle.

When I pushed my chair back for moving out,

I felt like somebody was standing behind me.

When I peeped back but found no one there.

Thud! Thud!

I walked slowly towards the door,

When I heard the knocking sound.

My heart skipped a beat in angst,

When I tried to open the door.

My palms were completely drenched in sweat,

And I was shaking terrifically.

Anyhow, I assembled the courage in myself,

And open the door in one breath.

I was struggling to look someone behind the door,

But unable to figure it out as the room was quite dark.

Surprise!!

A bunch of friends hovering outside my room,

For wishing me on my birthday.

Ah!! The way of wishing was spooky,

But remained a beautiful moment on my special day.
