Air miles (Love story at the Airport terminal)

Moving the strands of hair on her face, black curls trying to caress;

The girl at the airport with bottle green attire, myself fully impressed;

Mesmerising kohl studded eyes like dew drops on leaves in frozen lake;

Burgundy nail polish with the tinge of mascara like icing on the cake.

My snookum lady immersed in the sci-fi novel, B Sterling was the author;

So I skimmed a business magazine, which made no sense thereafter;

Within a few minutes, heart in my mouth made a prompt decision;

Prologue with the girl was the only motive of my joyful life’s mission.

Collided her in food court, the girl buying the McDonalds happy meal;

Here I was talking on the phone discussing my new business deal;

French fries bounced apart, coke spilled on me, she was annoyed;

Sorry was the sweet voice heard by my nascent ears, filled my heart’s void.

Bundles of tissues was making their way, she wiped my jacket and shirt;

As a gentleman offered her my ice-cream, manners and courtesy was first;

In this moment of time, lost my cellphone following give and take bargain;

Was flustered for a split second, searching helter skelter again and again.

Sensing the panic, my senorita offered her cellphone to give a miss call;

The phone started ringing; it was bouncing in my denim pocket wall;

Smirk on my face revealed, the ploy was understood by the urban fairy;

I wanted her cell number which was flashing in bold on my blackberry.

She was smiling at the question I asked which was kind of dicey;

Did the sun just come out or did you just smile at me…miss spicy;

She laughed at my jokes, listening to her stories… running was the time;

Wished the spaces between your fingers are meant to be filled with mine.

With the announcement; along the airport crystal maze we were on our way,

Gorgeous boarded her Emirates flight; my Air India there was a delay;

Landed my native soil, reached my pocket to give a call and SMS to send;

Lost my cellphone for real this time…. My shortest love story came to an end.
