Master Key


"Stop thinking....start doing....

You can't sit like this whole day and keep thinking. You need to act, quickly." He said.

She sat still..., thinking.

"Action....action....action....

drama....drama...drama...." He chanted animatedly.

"My hands aren't moving, my legs aren't moving, my mind is freezing....I am in a stupor...wake me up please....somebody put me into action....somebody please, please press the button." She replied, helplessly.

"There IS no button. I can't see any." He looked everywhere.

She gaped at him with unchanged expression.

"Waaait....I found something." He jumped as if he had found a switch to heaven.

She still gaped at him with an unchanged look on her face.

He went around her and wound the key several times till it could turn no more. She moved frenetically and started clapping. He jumped as she clapped and watched her with a jubilant smile. 

This was an everyday drama. He knew how to make her dance and when to make her dance. The key wasn't lost, it was in his hands. A slave to his wish, she gaped and danced with unchanged expression.

Read pending posts. Why so sad in previous poem? It is love which makes a person energetic.

Take care

the unmoving face, turning her key to make her dance...its all kinda creepy to me you know...

Bikramjit said...

thinking of it as a puppet for a kids happiness seems good
but me being me if i put it in context to the women of our nation looks sad toooo

having the key to make her dance and clap does not mean he cna make her smile and happy

Bikram's

If it is a metaphorical story,I agree with Bikramjit.It doesn't do good to a woman's personality
Very nicely written
