MASKS

POEM


With no malice
towards each other
he/she parted ways after spending
as husband and wife for almost ten years
like a river
in the course of time
keeps flowing in two directions.
Though it was a divorce
both he/she
didn’t keep ill-feelings
towards each other.
Neither she nor he
continued to live without
falling into any other love-affairs.
After the divorce
she began to live with her parents
and despite their constant
persuasions she didn’t
want anybody tie a nuptial knot.
She practised
as an IT consultant
in a faraway IT hub in a metro.
On getting fed up with her job
she wanted to join the tinsel world
during her leisure moments
she derived satisfaction
by creating masks
some pretty, some frightening and horrible.
Nobody knew what prompted
her to indulge in
going on with her hobby of making masks

even after she grew up as a young lady….
