And I Sneezed Poem by Sukanta Mohapatra

I was all dressed to kill
My heart reassured me
She would fall for me
Head over heels…

That day I was about to declare
My endless love for her
My head thumped loudly
Anticipating her answer

Shyly standing infront of her
I opened my mouth
Nervously once again
I smoothened my hair

She looked at my face
With all anticipation
I "Ahm" and "Aahm"ed
To start with a grace

Suddenly my face reddened
A tickle started in my nose
My face struggled to control
In a jiffy everything changed

Instead of saying I love you
I sneezed and sneezed "Ahhchooo"
She wiped her face in anger
And left without saying "Bless you".
