Was it a twist of fate,
Or some predestined
Turn of events,
Scheming but not predicted?

I found myself there
Where I wasn’t supposed to be
Not knowing what
Role I fitted in………never mind that

Out of place,
Out of context………
Trying very hard to make sense
Of my very presence

Confronted with strangers
Well, as good as that,
Wondering how to relate
As I was the odd one out

The atmosphere was filled
With smoke and faint scent of alcohol
It filled my senses
And made me relax !

Laughter filled the room
In a joyous celebration
Of recalls from the days
Left far behind

It consumed the air
Seeping in me too,
Bringing back
Memories of my own

And I slipped into
Conversation as it flowed
Roping me in
To your unknown world

Engulfed that I was
With the spirit of the lot
Joking and laughing
At all those funny recalls

Didn’t know when I slipped into
But you called it flirting,
I think it was just
My defense system at work

Yes, it was so weird
To be the only fair sex out there
Yet trying to gel
With aliens from mars !

Guess I did something
No woman has done before,
Gate crashing a party
That was meant to be ‘stag’ !

Bravo! For that
First woman to have landed
On a planet
Where no woman has gone before !

This is so embarrassing
Yet a lot of fun
Having all the men
To myself………..and to hell with ‘one’ !

And then you said something
That sent a signal to me
Which I promptly took on
‘What a wicked woman’ you’ll say

Anyways, the chemistry was found
Working its way to perform
An innocent play
Just to fill a lonely day

The hands that joined together
Were seeking pleasure
Of the less known ways
Easing away all my pain

A juvenile act though
Left a deep impact
No one had done these
Wonderful things………just to my hand !

We fooled the world
That had played tricks on me
I guess you know
What I’m talking about

And when you held me
In your arms so strong
I felt close to……..not just you
But to ‘me’ that once was

‘ In your arms…….I found myself………once again !’
