    As she waited by the shore

    With an expression long lost forelone 

    Biting cold wind went down her nerves

    Still she waited on the verge

    The waves came n forth

     

    Touched her feet and there she saw—

    Under the moonlight there he was

    In the loneliness she smelt the scent

    Which belonged only to her

    With a blink their eyes met

     

    And soon their shadows got tangled 

    Tears sparkled and kisses exchanged 

    He handed her a pearl of hope

    A hug so warm and she fainted

     

    She asked the nurse,”Where he is? “

    “Passed away in an accident a day before”

    Chill went down her spine

    As she remembered yesterday’s night

    Her gaze went on a piece of stone

     

    Inclosed in her shaking fist

    A pearl of hope was there beheld

    In that loneliness she smelt a scent

    Which belonged only to her

    As she flung the abortion pills

    Back into the dustbin

    It was then, when the BABY kicked!
