THE ONE IN COCOA BROWN!

One fine evening I was waiting for the sun to go down.

And looking towards the world with my brows raised with frown.
Confronting my own agony feeling as if I would drown.
On the sea shore where I was resting slowly the blue went brown.

Then I waved my hands through my hair and started to countdown,
The number of times they called me the 'one who is Blackish Brown, 
Then along the mainland horizon lane, coming up from the town 
I could see a shadowy figure covered head to toe in cocoa brown,


I gave him a smile and then again started to shakedown
About why is this world pushing me again and again down,
The nearer he came more I got attracted towards and then turned around.
This little mind couldn't estimate 'why' as he's not renowned,

Then he came next to me and asked me can I sit down,
I said yes and he changed himself to a proper noun,
I don't know but his words told me as if he was someone known
And asked me to listen him, and let all the tension laydown

He said he'd disclose some of life's secrets, and I plunged my head down,
He continued his monotonous words until the sun was actually down,
Then he pointed towards the black sky a body wearing white bridal gown
I anxiously stared at this marvelous creation of gods, and came back to the grounds 


 Then I saw a weird hat that was colored in brown
May be this was the first time I looked into the eyes which were talk of the town
He smiled at and said you see those lovers sitting, walking along the town
their love is denoted to this beautiful patch above all the ground

   You see those white rabbit with the tail a bit brown 

Are said to be the residents of this land far above our town

  All these stories tell us the glory of the land, still somethings does pull it down

If you have noticed it with its shine it also has dark patches on its grounds

These patches are there but we see is its face that is glows
 Apart all the irregularities this is associated with many stories which we hear now
He took a pause and looked at me, and again turned around
He stood up, and waved a hand onto his clothes, and sand went down 


Then he looked forward and moved ahead, without even turning about
He again went along the mainland horizon lane towards the town,
I didn't saw him again then in my hometown
Maybe because he was the one in Cocoa Brown!
