‘MATH’MERIZED……

Sent far off in search of my true self,

Threw myself amidst the other probables,

Entered the ballroom to put on my dancing shoes;

Where I saw, an enigmatic damsel, busy in herself.

Curiosity prevailed and my blinks made me feel a bit edgy,

Ignored me as if I wasn’t meant to be there,

Just a glance is what I wished from her;

 For which to heaven I sent many a prayer.

Performances were bleak not hers but mine,

I wasn’t bothered though as I was happy to see her shine,

Heard her speak to me as numbers danced in my head;

So MATH’merized’ was I, skipped my dine that very day at nine.

Winter came and we were dressed as better performers,

Had variety with the better ones throwing tantrums,

She skipped all these and settled down being clad in blue;

All horns blared but her silence proved to be most true.

Years went by as I learned a trick or two about my trade,

Winner in my own ways but a thought gives me a shudder,

Couldn’t say a thing when she was around those days;

And even now, there are many lines which I still can’t utter.

She made me feel good about numbers and signs,

She made the horrid stage feel like a shrine,

Got brains to captivated even the deities of intellect, but;

She still misses the link that why I skipped the dine that day at nine.
