(from someone very dear to me)

He loved her
She loved him
Aww! How perfect
was everything!

She was all he dreamt
She was all he admired
She was all he prayed
She was all he desired

With shells, sand, flowers & feathers
Made they many dream homes together
But one day came a storm
Haughty, heartless & strong
Leaving behind some traces on shore
Their dream home was there, no more


Shells were scattered
Everywhere around
Like pieces of their hearts
in sand they found


Sobbing petals parted
So did they part
Belonged they to each other
Now fell far apart


Stills some they had in front
Still they were inside
Had they no one to confide
No one to love, No one to fight


Caged he was in his helplessness, so was she
No god was to be seen to set them free
Being still for long, finally his soul dared a blink
& he did, what no one could ever think


"Better one live than none"
& he gave her to someone


She cried, She complained
Loved him she, so dearly
Pain of her voice.. oh!
Echoed so very clearly



"This isn't right"
"No! This isn't fair"
"Don't do this to me"
"I'll go no where"



But still, still he was
as still as the sea in his eyes
Depriving all hopes
Preventing every sign of life


No longer could he fight the fakeness of his fate
Not that storm, nor his stormy mate
Lost he the difference of right & wrong
To him weak was just as good as strong
He was broken all inside out
Nothing left around & about
No dream, No desire, No prayer, No need
He lost everything… everything indeed!!!


She failed
She wept
She wailed
& finally left


She flown away
with the one she destined
& the lover who couldn't make it
remained their confined…







Traces Vanished
So did time
Everything once again
Seemed to be fine

Sea forgot all
So did wind
The one who didn't
Was only him


Then came an 'unknown'
From far away
Confined she found
Him on her way


Something there was
That made her to stay
Leaving her journey
Stopped she midway


Soon became friends
Shared they everything
Narrated he reluctantly
story of his lost spring


Confined! Confined he was for long
& nothing could bring a hope along

To make him come out
Hard she tried
Failed every time
Gently he denied

A beginning new she wished
Wanted she, him to fly again
Tears were all he drenched with
She asked him to feel some rain


Existence of this world faint
but, for long he denied
Content he was in his world
With some reminiscence beside


A Change she wanted
To bring anyway
But no change he permitted
For he liked it that way


Accused he was
in his eyes
For he deprived his beloved
'Love of her life'


Forgiveness he asked
For the hurt he brought
Shunning his own pain
This was all he thought


She was far
but nearest of all
She was pain
but dearest of all


but how she was
none of them knew
Is she happy or not
in her life anew??


Prayed he to god
To shower her with bliss
& not to let a reason left
Him, for her to miss


He gave her to someone
& left with a prayer to murmur:

"May that someone be perfect for her
May not a moment she has to suffer.."
with this prayer his each moment begins
with this belief his every breath ends
a ray hopeful, it has been in his life forlorn
that happy she is somewhere, in world of her own
a ray in the darkness of cage
a ray in his silent rage…


Expressed he everything
to his friend 'unknown'
all unsaid, unseen,
unheard & unknown
For now unknown meant something
Moment by moment
Breath by breath
Told he everything
Since their union charming
Till the awful bereft

A change of season
Flowers felt
Icy emotions
Began to melt

Finally!!!
Acquiesced he to try
Flapping his wings
Came out to fly


Gazed at petals
Peered at sky
Stared at sea
& began to cry


Everything was same
Just she wasn't there

Then said he smilingly
"It's all same here"

"Sea is the same,
Same is the wind
So is the shore
So is everything"

Just…

Just the fragrance of flower, just the love in the air
Just the charm has been taken away from everywhere..

Just…


With bleak a voice & broken words
Began he to hum his most loved line
But Alas! With meanings lost now
Seemed it sans rhythm, sans rhyme

Shattered he sadly
went back to his cage again
To accompany unknown's tears
Generously, it started to rain

rain inside
rain outside
oh! What a rain that was…

Every drop followed him
From eyes, to cheeks to his cage
Every emotion stated itself
With a drop on every page

Prayed they night & day
For his beloved once & someone's life today
Prayed for her life
For her dreams & for her to be glad & gay

[*** She (his beloved) became a part of her (unknown) too ]
She became a part of her too
For her feelings were just as true
She thought of her
When she thought of him
& she thought of him
with every breath

She could feel her pain
Or may be she could not
But all she wished from God
Was endless bliss for her to brought

She should have been happy
She should have been fine
The only consolation they had & a hope
A hope to hear from her sometime


Seeing him drowning in his tears
Died every moment, on shore she was!
On Shore of helplessness
On shore of hopes
Tried she to make him come out
When all he wanted was to go deeper
Dreams some she wanted to flourish
When memories all he wanted to cherish
& Happiness she wished to unfold
When Pain all was he desired to hold

& He still didn't dare to fly….
Skies coloured tempted him no more
In cage he felt as if
in her womb he resides
Carelessly cared
Fearlessly free…
& loved being loveless…

Wished he no direction
No path, no aim
Nothing to lead to
Nothing to heed to

When visioning she was
A dream home on the shore
For by now her like for him
Has turned to something more

Sensed he when
She had been hiding something
Their promise he reminded to her
To share everything

Hence she confessed
Her love for him
& that in her life
She wanted him to bring


For a moment
It was all motionless
Soundless....timeless...
& then,
A sigh deep broke the silence
Only the silence
As if blessed she was,
It spared her dreams….

He couldn't give space to her dreams
Nor did he let them shatter
Being directionless leading he was
For long as if nothing did matter

A destination unknown
He had for himself
For her he could
Have nothing better

Difficult it was for him
To see her shattered
For unlike his own
her happiness mattered

He needed time
& she happily agreed
As her heart still called
for his happiness indeed…


Time had a new story to be told
& Life had much more to unfold

And one day a message came
Shimmering with his beloved's name
The much awaited news it brought
She was happier than they thought
Her love destined was God to her
Soul mates they found in each other

Calm she was with reminiscence around
But eyes blissful having dreams abound
With an acceptance of what she had lost
Welcomed She heartily what she had found
Power of her present
Healed the pain of past
& the prayers they made for her
got listened to at last…

It brought a great peace
An incomparable bliss, a relief
Keeping her happy & loved
God blessed their belief

Time still has a new story to be told
& Life has much more to unfold

He still loves her
She loves him... ( she- unknown )
Almost Perfect
Is everything…

He is all she dreams
He is all she desires
He is all she prays
He is all she admires…..


*Life always has more than what we feel it holds *

Only time can tell what their destiny holds for them

to be continue…
