My Saturday

I strolled leisurely by while the rest of the world trundled past. The usual cacophany of noises and smells fused to form a perfect backdrop for me. And still I continued, walking... indifferent to the rest of the world. Despite the bright lightings, merry making and general disorder, there existed still, a state of calmness. That was a state of mind that proved so elusive and escaped me for all of my searching.

It's here to stay now, all fears be banished. Alas! In exchange, my mind seemed to have struck a deal with Peace herself. For all that i have gained, I now lost my sense of perspective. Have you seen the Colours of the Wind, all gay and bright? I see the present in tones of greys and whites.

What was that! A twinkling of light? Yonder over at the discrete corner of my eye! It is eye contact initiated by an attractive lass. And what seemed like a Great Reversal, the Colours came rushing back into my view like a vortex, swirling in a myriad of colours and clashing noisily in a riotous manner. Was that Joy itself? Or was that her fickle sister, Happiness? I prayed that it wasn't their dreadful sister, Overexcitement that dropped by.

I understood after all my living years thus far that for all that i've gained, I must pay as upkeep. And so, it was... The internal calm that came by through the sheer effort of my mind was gambled away as collateral, her fate to be decided by the Dice. Oh dear... I must have melted a bit or was it her smouldering look that was to be blamed? I bravely put on a front, acting indifferent again as usual. Not reciprocating her intense gaze that burned onto my skin like the blazing Sun and yet remaining mindful all this while.

She finally went out of view and for once I regained captaincy of my Ship. Neigh, but nothing I could have done to calm the raging waters that persists below. For all my resistance, it took all of my desire to turn a head over and steal a glance. Just that one glance, I promised!

Fwaugh! And my mind was dutifully cheated again just like that. And she did maintain an unwavering gaze which caught my straying eyes again. Ah, the Windows of my Soul... How could you so easily reveal my going-ons? And I swear i saw the faintest of a smile crease her face in that brief moment where certain things were going on, to and fro our very own eyes...

I know, she knew and we were all in the knowledge of this naughty teasing together...
