The door was shut,
the light was gone....
I stood next to the window,
I was all alone!!
The sky was grey
it was about to rain...
There was frequent lightening
which would light up the lane.
Mine was the corner house,
very old and worn out..
My heart would jump
with every roar of cloud!!
Before leaving me home alone
my family had asked me twice,
I acted a brave heart then
and now I am paying the price.
My family had been to a party
while I preferred to stay,
& I regret this decision the most
if I may say...!!
I lit up a candle,
put it on a shelf....
"They'll be home soon",
I kept telling myself.
I had just finished my dinner
in the dimnishing candle light..
I was planning to lie down
as it was way past midnight!!
Suddenly I heard something
it was the knock on the door....
Gosh!! I was terrified....
stood frozen on the floor!!
I thought and thought,
but what.... I dont know,
My mind was blank, my heart missed beats
and the blood just wouldn't flow.....!!
There was a sudden lightening
and the door knocked again....
This time it got harder
as did the rain.......!!
Could it be a thief
a killer or some ghost,
one moment i was frozen
the other i'd coast.
"Who's it" I said
as I gathered all my guts...
And reached the door
besides all Ifs & buts.
But there was no reply,
and this scared me even more....
The rain had become a storm,
and the knock, thomping on the door!!
I peeped through the key hole
with my eyes open wide....
But couldnt see a thing,
as it was so dark outside!!
"Now I am dead" I thought
theres no escape
I remembered all the Gods
every size n shape.
I gathered all my courage
and finally opened the door
Nothing would have shocked me more
then what was there in store!!
It was nothing but the dustbin
that'd got wind blown.....
My ghost was the old dustbin...
my mother had disown!![;)]
