That shadow


The moon was full yet incomplete
wind blowing as in a soft touch
waves were peaceful as they 
struck the shore where
a white speed boat was waiting
for the couple that could never
have a chance to sail it 
the clouds out of the dense fog
watched that solitary feminine figure
walking aimlessly along the shore
unbeknownst of the fact that 
from above and beyond horizons
the moon, the clouds, the fog
could see that she was not alone
an over looming shadow was
strolling right beside her.

It was impossible to find anyone in this crowd. So I decided the next best thing. I moved towards the hall specified for his session. Room 007. There wasn't anyone there yet except for a cute couple (later found out to be his dedicated fans and my newly acquired friends). I selected the best seat with the best view of the stage. And silently, began waiting. Slowly the crowd moved in and the hall was full in no time. My pulse ran higher and I began to have palpitations...
