A funky fairytale

A demon loved an angel
To the limit of insanity
They are not for each other
This much he knew for sure
He knew she will walk away
The moment he shows himself
So he donned a mask
Conned her into loving him.

But what could he do to himself
Soon the mask started to peel
The angel left him
When the mask fell of his face.
First she was angry and bitter
Then he realized his helplessness
His heart was forcing him
To hound her to force her to him.

The demon got furious
Believed her a traitor
He called her names, taunted her
She asked him to change himself
He refused said her love was fake
tried to make her jealous, bitter
hit her from every angle, corner
she reminded him she was an angel.

To have an angel in his arms
He will have to be one
A simple truth that can’t be undone
Oil and water can’t mingle
Black and white can’t embrace
To mingle with each other
They have to be same
Or sacrifice himself in absolute sense.

She turned and walked away

She begged for his love
He taunted and mocked
She kneeled down to please
He laughed on her face.

He thought she will always
Be following him like slave
For he knew how to tame her
For he knew how to keep her.

Then came the day
Something snapped inside her
She just got up and walked away
Without a single glance backward.

He waited first haughtily
Then he begged and cried
Searched her all over the town
But she has passed away like time.

Flower in glass house

A delicate flower bloomed
In the covers of glass house
Spreading her beauty and charm
Filling up it with her grace
Her fragrance filled it up
She was the gardener’s pride
Pampered to no end.

He was a lonely butterfly
His wings painted with rainbow
His heart full of love
he loved her in stealth
could never tell her so
He used to flitter around
Her glass made abode.

His yearning eyes soaked up
Her beauty from afar
His wings brushed the glass
So many times
Praying it will let him through
She never even noted him
His love swelled up in his heart.

Then one day a cruel hand
Picked her up before her time.
No one heard her last sigh
No one saw the tears
That fell from the eyes
Of the lonelier butterfly
As his wings fluttered in vain.

Little mermaid

A beautiful princess born in ocean
Her dazzling palace was under the sea
Brought up playing with schools of fishes
Colours as dazzling as blooming flowers.

With youth dawning on her spirit
Her spirit started to soar
She used to break free of the depth
And swim to the nearest shore.

She saved someone and fell in love
They had nothing common among them
Yet she lost her heart and soul to him
She won his company but not love.

Soon the prince got tired of her
And started to look for others
Her innocent heart was shattered
She wanted to be back with her sisters.

But when she left the ocean
She had to make a pledge, a vow
She will never be allowed back
The journey was meant to be one way.

She sat on the shores, her salted tears
Mingling with salty water of ocean
Then one night when the moon was shining
She noted that she was changing form.

She became what she was
Before she met her prince
Surprised she saw a mermaid prince
Waiting for her in ocean/

A soft smile on his face told her all,
“I loved you but I did not stopped you,
You sacrificed in love your every thing,
My love has won back that sacrifice.”

He held her arms as they swam side by side
Under the glistening moon, in the sparkling sea
They swam across the islands and places
To reach her kingdom where her family waited.

The return

His weary feet dragged
His wearier body
Towards the house
He once called home.

He stood in front of it
Under the full moon
Silver rays shining down
On a desolate ruin.

He climbed the steps of porch
The wood creaked under his feet
Weary by age and neglect
It protested his heavy weight.

he walked toward the door
where once she waited for him
every evening with a smile
when he returned from work.

Cobwebs tangling with his body
Bats swooping by
He entered the deserted house
That was once his home.

No one was there
The rooms were bare
None has been there
Since ages it seemed.

He leaned against the wall
Mournful like the house itself
Looking for traces
Which could take him to his love.

Then he heard a voice
Startled by it he turned to face
An old friend a neighbour,
Standing on the doorway.

“She waited for you right here,
While you chased mirage
We have laid her down
Under the oak tree there.”
“The tree under which you two
Loved each other and spent hours
Your names are still written
On its trunk, its branches shelter her.”

Leave them alone

Leave her alone guilty soul

you wont get anything by

stalking her to the end of

the universe, but heartbreak.

 

You lost your man because

You did not loved him

You only wanted the luxury

The material things not love.

 

When you got him in your palms

you thought now you can go astray

he is so blind that he will not know

but love has feelings, he did.

 

He left you for a loyal soul

who lacked your glamour

but had a heart of gold

now leave them alone..go!

Chasing butterflies

When that person called you up
at odd times with desire to speak,
you were busy then having fun
with persons you admired,
with those who filled your days
with fun and laughter,
make your hours shrink
into enchanting seconds…..


That one call used to bring a break,
little lull in those ecstatic moments.
You some times pick up the phone
and gave some polite excuse to him.
Some times you just used to let it ring
and later give him some half hearted alibi..

Then one day your butterflies
flew away to other pastures,
Leaving behind only shadows of
sweet memories and empty hours,
you turned around to search
for that person who has pestered…

All you could see was a shadow
disappearing in distant horizon,
Love came, knocked your door,
waited for you and departed rejected,
When you were busy chasing butterflies
the flower of your life withered

love came for me

love came for me, walked away rejected
that hand which stayed too long upon mine
those lips which laughed for too long
whenever they beheld me passing by
those eyes that talked so much with mine
softly withdrew themselves when they failed
in getting the answers from mine.

I never noticed those fingers going slack
those lips breaking into faint smile
those eyes first stopped talking
then they slowly started to distance
and finally they started to hide
one day I came back looking for them
and realized love came for me but now its gone.
