"The Turquoise Coloured Sweater"

"The Turquoise Coloured Sweater"

He could feel the tremble in her hands
that held him, touching her lips into his evocatively.
She looked deep into his eyes
and asked, "How long will you stay with me?"

"Till eternity. Just like that little star twinkling in the galaxy"

Today, she sat with the trembling
hands again, knitting.
She looked at their photograph
when they were young while
knitting the last knot of
the turquoise coloured sweater.

Happy faces, smiling cheeks and memories.
Pulling off her cardigan, she wore the sweater-
the same color he was wearing in the picture.
Tears rolled down her wrinkled face
as she tugged her arms
tightly to the sweater.
"Till eternity",
she whispered to herself and
looked at the twinkling star above.
