I am the red light sherry,
as i said earlier;
I am that sherry used in joy,
but always of others and not mine;
Life is giving its edge over me,
and i am giving it in;
I waited for the kiss of my life but,
got another one;
Not a kiss from my life,
or love;
But from the trials,
agony itself became mine,
for whatever i thought,
this became a reality
My reality;
Living through this, a phase,
i realized in which time was playing the trick;
I always dreamt of
a person who could make me feel,
as i would be the only one who matters the most in his life;
The one who will care me not because,
I can cure his desire easily;
But because i have become the desire that he’s living for,
and then he comes to me,
for living;
The kiss of my life,
from the past twenty years have been,
so tight on me,
i never could smile;
I have always heard that there is a way out,
but never seen it;
I wait for my luck to change,
and for that,
i have become so paranoid ,
thinking and waiting, thinking and waiting ,
for that one look of a happy sun,
made me feel so much;
A kiss from him will make me go free from the boundaries that,
i am bounded to and with chains,
from the past twenty years since ten;
A smile from him will make my worries go away,
far from me;
Strange it sounds but my story is this itself ,
my life’s not strange but very normal, I
live up on the streets under those lights and, Make
others happy and feel relaxed,
Yet i am made the most guilty,
for i am not taken as anyone in this society,
Willing to be someone else then what I am,
has been tough,
no respite,
no fright,
and I am ended up to live like the same.

Wow, That was some stuff.
Your approach is very interesting, you know, it’s thoughtful and one can just go with the flow easily. Nice
Thanks, and indeed the her life is becoming so very interesting for me, i am soon going to write more on her life. Hope my imagining about her doesn’t end soon.
P.S- sherry is just an imagination of a woman i had when i think about how would a sex worker thing in place of a normal woman’s life.
