Hey Dear, time to post your works!!

An embarrassing moment

A sweet and savoury night in Fuel Espresso
With long lost faces, acquainted smiles and chuckles.
“It’s Careless Whisper.  What a nice old tune!
Have you seen Sally lately?  And how’s dear old June? 
Oh! How much your daughter has grown! 
You two look like sisters.”
“Help yourself to some Caesar salad, Tammy. 
Don’t just engage in chatters.”
“Excusez- moi,” I rose to go to respond to the call of nature.
“Wow! That’s wonderful. You still remember
the French we learnt together after so many years?”
 
I returned after an instant, sitting in my comfy seat.
Zipping my Café de olla – classic, aromatic, bittersweet.
“What a splendid night we have with
Music so good, food so superb.
Thank you all for your friendship
Throughout all these years.”
My vision began to blur as I felt that tenderness.
“We must meet more often. And the place, oh, it’s a good pick.”
Excited as I was, yet - I couldn’t fail to notice
An absence of responses, no echoing or “yes”.

Raising my eye lids a tiny bit, oops!

What a sight to behold!
A table full of strangers all staring at me with awe,
Some eyes show puzzle and some, shock, unspeakable.
So where am I?  What happened?  Where did I go? 
Was it a trance? 
Oh what kind of imbecile can go to the wrong table? 
A hasty apology I uttered and I rose and flew,
Scurrying, scampering and searching desperately for my old familiar crew. 
Seated correctly finally though my body,
It’s a little askew.
 
 “You sure have been a long time,
Know what we’re talking about?  
What has ever made you flush the most? 
Anything’s ever caused a fluttered shout?” 
“Oh!  No!  Never, I said,” as I tried hard to hide
What was about to spill out
With a queer wry smile.
