A hiccup dedicated to all those people, who have been dealing with my shoe obsessions :)
My shoe rack stays in my knit box
Night & day with all colours of flip flops
Blue, yellow & mauve
Silver is always too suave
Aah, the brass and gold
Even if my feet is cold
I’ll wear them to my shower rides
And walk them into the jazzy nights
One after the other, the colours grew greedy
I’d pay from my nose for it, unless there’s some needy
While I lose the count, mom pleads,
“You’d tan those ankles, as the sun bleeds”
Hence, begins a new obsession of canvas
The canvas that flashed paints of innocence
Purple, pink & green
Laces that hung till I fell on my spleen
Running by the pebbles of lake
Soaking by the tides of beach
Climbing by the hoods of camel
One after the other,
Jazz of canvas played hither thither
Mommy smiled and sneaked out few
Gave them to little girls with a phew
Replaced colours with all the dues
I pretended that I didn’t knew
She believed that ‘I am cute’
And the life was always in hues
With all colours, right there in my shoes!
