THE TALE OF A JINXED FAIRY

The salve of the dew-
Hushing tones of a breeze-
Enthralling the world-

The making of a fairy.
A pure soul refurbished.
Love binds her spirit.
Engaged in draping silken dreams.

One day there is a visitor
From far-off shores.

A magical tale begins.

Just as the two mingle into one,
Imminent danger appears.
Nothing seems to be in place.
Xenophobics appear in ethereal lands.
Ebbing the visitor away from the fairy.
Death awaits the charmed guest.

Forlorn, crestfallen is the angel.
Awaiting to meet her destiny.
Illogical emotions get better of her.
Regrets her deathless life.
Yet the wait never ends for the jinxed fairy....

ANWE-ISM : TENET XI

There are no conditions attached to true love.

MY TREASURES

I had tears…..
You kissed them away.

I had wounds….
You healed them.

I had debts….
You settled them.

I had dreams…..
You turned them real.

I had wishes…..
You fulfilled them.

I had apprehensions……
You removed them.

I had thoughts….
You put them in words.

I had love……
You made it my life.

ANWE-ISM :THE TENTH TENET

The colour of one's soul is reflected in deeds, not in words.

MIDNIGHT DREAMS

Each night, long after the moon shimmers,
I see you with my eyes open.

The stars seem to tell me that you are
Watching me all the time.

I toss and turn in bed
Wondering what to say if ever
I get to meet you.

You have killed my slumber
And aroused the lover in me.

How do I punish you for that ?

You torment me and I allow it.

The sweet taste of the poison -
Keeps me alive in anticipation,
That one day you would plunge
Into the depths of my heart.

I shall trap you there forever
And be avenged.

My midnight dreams end with
The first rays of morning sun.

It swoons me into the sleep
I’ve been deprieved of in the
Dead of the night.
