The Unopened Door!

A picture taken somewhere in Goa!! I dont really remember the name of the place but it was some old Castle!

The picture of what I may see beyond is yet unknown to me,

I tread upon the glassy floor careful yet eagerly.

I can hear my stomach flip inside as I hear my excitement,

For was it not an old proverb that curiosity killed the cat?

I wish I didn't ever have to decide whether to open the door,

For even I know inside of me it will change my life for good...

I am curious, a bit intrigued, a little excited,

A little scared, a little braved, a little blinded!

I have waged a war aginst myself for a long long time...

I stand here at the brink of adventure reckless and ready for a fight...

I reach ahead to grasp the knob, my mind flooded 

With pictures of war and little scuffles of imagined fairytales...

Of butterflies and caravans and children playing in the park,

Of vibrant colours and marigolds of darkening shadows and blood...

Of love and fascination and of lust and dreadful pain,

Of picket fences and green gardens, of hate and disdain...

Swallowing my fears away and shaking in my knees

 I finally opened The Unopened Door without any keys!!
