(Daily Prompt : Born To Be With You
Not completely related but I found some connection so I am putting this in connection)
Literary Lion: Eye
(I’m being lazy by not writing another post but I already have written this!)
I saw you in train, I was soaked from the rains. I couldn’t see your face. Your niqab covered your face. But I saw your eyes. All I saw was your eyes. Those soft round eyes surrounded by chalk white skin. Some mascara maybe. The deep black irises. I don’t think i have been so enthralled by eyes ever before.
I kept looking, occasionally realizing that I have to look somewhere else. I don’t know if you noticed my stare, because if you did then I would have been bitten senseless in the train. I don’t know how your face looked, I couldn’t hear your voice but I saw your eyes and for me that was enough. Black as a moonless night, I don’t know if iris are ever this black. I stared because there was something about them, I know it was wrong.
I don’t think you noticed anybody in the train. For you were enthralled by your boyfriend on who’s shoulder you kept your head. And he kept talking, his voice getting louder as if he spoke with the entire compartment and not just you. I would have kept quiet and stared. Stared at something so small and so immensely beautiful.
I don’t think I’ll meet you again. I won’t remember you either in a week.
And I went home, forlorn, listening to James Blunt sing ‘You’re beautiful ’

She must have some wonderful pair of eyes, I could feel how captivated your main character was. Well done.

That main character was me. This actually happened. Not a piece of fiction.

Lovely use of the prompt.
I like that you link to everybody’s stories – it’s a reminder for me to check out the ones I’ve not yet read.

Yes I have that habit of linking other people’s blogs. Makes them see there’s some other responses too and creates links

Well it does fit with the lion’s prompt perfectly too! I’ve not seen anyone else go in this direction, it’s a great little moment.
