That Evening Poem by Pratham Goyal

It was lonely
It was dark
I heard no noise
Not even a dog's bark..

I saw a streetlamp..
Under which a bench lies;
I came near and sat on it
And slowly started closing my eyes..

Suddenly I saw a girl coming
From far I could see;
She quietly came along
And sat beside me.

Seeing her quiet
I got goosebumps
But still i said 'hi'
I don't know why..

She kept mum
She didn't reply
I thought
She would be shy..

She stood up
And started to walk.
'Did I hurt her,
I was just trying to talk.'

Was it a dream? ?
I am not sure.
But my curiosity to know her
Had no cure.

Then I saw a man
Coming along the same way
He saw me and said

'Did you see a girl here?
Strange enough to make you fear'

'Yes I saw her
She went that way'
'She has sleepwalking illness
Thank you anyway.'

He left me.
I also stood up
I had to reach home on time..
I hope you liked this prose poem of mine..
