my fears

                                                     MY FEARS




Gusts of cool breeze rushed in as i opened the window
in a February evening.......
I trembled in apprehension
And shut down the window
As soon as possible
And switched on the air conditioners,
Soon my nerves seemed to calm down.


Last night as i crossed the streets,
A man standing by the road(waiting for his bus most probably)
Looked into my eyes
And i have a shiver down my spine,
His eyes were bloodshot,
And a strange old unknown fear crept into me.
I fled from there as fast as i can,
Came to my room; bolted all the doors and windows,
Shoved in an earphone inside my ears,
Soon i got over that fear.

Those cold metallic railings,
Those lifeless electronic gadgets
 are my sole companions.
They seem to reciprocate my emotions.

The young boy across the street
The woman in my neighbours
All seem to spy on me..
Even that lizard on the wall with his
uniocular gaze constantly on me
makes me escape his vision.
All those creatures living around
invoke suspicion in me.
