Love ....

Love....

Once upon a time .. in the lands of magic and mystery ,
There was a kingdom of the Barbarians, who had a vengeful history!!

And in the court of the barbarians , was a courtier ..
who was famous throughtout the lands ..
for he might not have been the best in his looks ,
but he was surely a master at magic and had learnt a lot of books..

Untill one day when the Pricess arrived back to the lands ,
she had purple eyes , a bright smile and soft and silky hands...
The Pricess was walking down the aisle of the court one fine day,
and her beauty and charm was making, into the hearts, its own way...

The Courtier was fazed the see her at first , for her beauty was so pure,
but, did she have brains too , was something he wanted to be sure....
So, as the king ordered , began the battle of knowledge and grace ,
for there was something within that girl which made the courtier lose the race...

He was amazed by her beauty, simplicity and knowledge she had,
for he found someone who made him glad..
So, he talked to the Pricess and became they friends,
and soon their friendship was passing all ends...

They talked for hours , spent time below the magic tree for a while,
and each time the Courtier was laft gazing at her smile..
and with time, they shared their goods and bad ,
for both of them had moments which made them happy and some which made them sad,,,

The Pricess was confused what she wanted in her life ,
for she was not a true barbarian , and she wanted to flee...
But how would that happen without the magic knife ,
as that was the only way to open the kingdom doors to be free..

The Courtier on the other hand,was falling in love with his friend,
is it wrong to think like this, thought he, as it might bring the friendship to an end..
So, he told the Pricess

"O my dear Pricess , i like you ...
i like you for what you are,
And my feelings for you keep increasing by the day,
and i want to make you happy and take you far..
Your smile melts my heart and your voice makes it flow ,
for when you are around me, my face has a definite glow ..
I promise to love you.. till the end of my days ,
for i might not be the best at it , but my love has its own ways...
"

The Pricess looked happy and confused ,
for she didnt know what to say .
so she said..

"O my dear Courtier.. for u told me ur feelings i am glad,
but i cannot be sure, as i dont ever want to make you sad..
I respect you and like you too for what you are ,
But, i cant promise u as we would go how far..."


But this didnt change the Courtier's feelings for her,
for he kept falling in love even more ..
he just tried to make happy , by magic tricks, presents ,and even taking her to the beautiful sea shore..

But one day, Pricess was sick and alone, as the barbarians were away for fight,
and there was no one close to her , as she felt alone, that night..
So, she called called the Courtier through the backdoors into her room ,
where there was just her and the light of the shining moon..
The Courtier, with all the love in his eyes, looked at the Pricess and promised to be around in need ,
they were more than friends, they though within , and suddenly their eyes agreed..
There was a sparkling moment , and came closer their lips to kiss ,
for the passion of their likeliness was leading to a bliss...
They looked into each others eyes to search what lied within ,
love and just love was what was seen ,
as their feelings were new and submiss...

But Suddenly when the Princess came to the senses of this world,
She order the Courtier to leave her alone...
For she didnt want to talk about what happened ,
and there was something different in her tone...

She must be confused about her feelings , thought he as he was about to leave ,
So, he tried to comfort her , but alas ..
the princess was far away from anything to believe..

So, the Courtier left , with felling still unfulfilled ,
But he was in love knew he and his feelings were pure ..
"I'll get what the Princess wants , to free her from her fears",
promised he as he had fallen into something without any cure...

Princess was still confused and she didnt want anything to share,
for the Courtier tried so hard to know what happened , everything out of care...
But nothing did she say as the Courtier tried so hard to know it all,
as the Courtier feared of loosing out on a pal...

The Courtier as still in love , so he kept amusing the Princess ,
to make her happy , to make her smile ,
and to do everything she wanted to stop their relationship turning fragile....

Untill one day, he heard out of the flowing airs out of her window,
that the Princess wanted to fly out of the kingdom into the bright lands of joy so green so bright..
and that was the only thing which kept her away from all , alone thinking all night..

He had to help her set free , for so nice outside would ber her life,
but for that he needed to get somehow the magical knife...
Only a fool would risk his life to steal the barbarian pride ,
but so deeply was he in love that his options were not very wide...

He decided to steal it for her during the fall of the night ,
and would set free the Princess before the dawn was bright..
So, he entered the magical dungeon before anyone could him sneak,
And stole the knife befire anyone could peek ..

Alarms were raised the next morning that the knife was stolen the night before ,
"Get me the thief and hang him " , summoned the king who wanted to settle the score..
Little did the Courtier knew that the magical dungeon had its own magic and powers,
For it would tell who was the thief before he could escape the kingdom towers ...

And so the Courtier was caught and was prepared to be killed by the cruel,
but little did he speak as to where was the knife hidden ...
As the barbarians began to rip his skin out ,
any words out were still forbidden ...

But just then , he saw someone he was waiting to see ,
for the one last time out of all the eyes he was left ...
Still so beatiful, so pure and shining she was , his love ,
that he was not fearing the death anymore out of his theft...

And with his last breaths he spoke..

" I promised to love you.. till the end of my days ,
for i might not have been the best at it , but my love has its own ways...
Today i give you my soul , my feelings and everything i had ,
i set you free for the world which would never let you be sad...
You find your freedom at the place our feelings met that night,
Go.. go my love , live your life as a bird so free , as the new dawn awaits you " .. with his eyes closing out came the final words .
"where you woould be you , so beautiful, pure and bright................................................"

Trust

Trust!!

Once upon a time in the endless ocean of the west..

there was a Dolphin .. lets call her "Delphi" ..

who was different from the rest!!

She could swim so swiftly, and could even perform a perfect spin...

and to match to it all was a golden spot at her dorsal fin..!!

But, the most amazing thing in her ... was no doubt was but her voice...

when she sang along the ocean in the morning , it was a perfect melody and a perfect sunrise..!!

But no-one in the herd liked her sing ..

not due to jealousy.. but it was just not the dolphin thing..!!!

So, they told her to live the way the dolphins do, for it was for her best...

But Delphi was different.. and she was not going to be bound to her parents nest..!!

She thought if she could sing through the waves ,with the canaries, and spread the music around..

maybe, her herd would understand the magic of her melody and sound..!!!

So, she let out of the herd.. into the ocean so vast..

where no one was friend and dangers arrived thick and fast..!!

There were sharks and hunters and traps that could kill...

but nothing stopped her.. so strong was her will..!!!!

But one thing that was most concerning to her was..

as in who would her understand her feelings what she wanted to ...

And who could help her realise the dreams and desire...

and she could find a world where she could sing day or night., with pitch lower or higher!!

One day , she met a tortoise , who appeared to be friendly and nice...

and he was amazed by Delphi's songs and her awesome voice!!!

You must not stop singing , said he , for you have an amazing gift...

i'll take you to the island nearby, where the humans lived merrily and where the birds sing the purest melody,

and out journey will be fast and swift..!!

She felt as if she touched the sky , and her dreams will be fulfilled at last...

and she wouldbe able to sing out load and free, with the humans, the birds the this along this ocean so vast..!!

That night , she spun a hundread times out of joy and sang all night...

for all her dreams were about to be true and right..!!!

She trusted the tortoise and off they went ahead into the ocean towards the island with speed...

Delphi had got just the friend she wanted, she thought, when she was in need..!!

But the tortoise was so amazed with the dolphin's singing, that he beagn to think,

if i let her go to the island, i might never see her again, and his eyes began to wink....

in came the moment , and the tortoise stopped.. "Dont go oh sweet Dolphin" said he,

"for the humans are harsh and cruel...Stay with me, sing for me, and i shall be the friend you need"

"and we shall be happy together for ever , for whatever be the deed"!!!

Dolphin was confused, for this was not what she wanted ,

So, she said :"You've been a great friend oh tortoise, but my destiny lies ahead..."

"So,please lead me to the island , before this cruel ocean makes us dead..!!

The tortoise never wanted to lead her to the island anymore ,

so in a hurry, he left the dolphin alone in the ocean, wondering for the shore..!!!

"Tortoise, oh, tortoise... where are you" cried the dolphin all alone ,

but only to understand that the one whom she trusted was long gone...!!

Dreams began to shatter, and hopes were turning dry...

"what am i going to do now", out came the sigh...!!!

and the loneliness in the vast ocean, made the dolphin cry..!!!

"What are you doing here alone ?" out came some harsh voice from the sky ?

A black shining crow with eyes as big as the ocean itself floated in the air with the question...

"I was deserted by a friend !!".. cried the dolphin

crow replied "then you better return to your place.. is my suggestion!!"

"No.. i can't!!" as the dolphin explained to the crow ,

all her dreams , hopes and her quest.. she was letting him all know...

"Can you sing once for me ?" , he asked with expectations...

and hence began she to sing.. a melody beyond expalnations...!!

Crow was amazed ,attracted and excited by the song...

he said "I shall help you, and shall not lead you wrong .."

Dolphin looked at him with those helpless eyes..

but crow reassured her with all his wit and vice.!!

Off they went towards the island in a hurry and reached the shore so soon ,

the sun was about to set and about to come was the moon..!!

"You wait here o sweet dolphin, for i'll lead the humans and birds to you ,

then you can sing as sweet as you can to impress'em with your sound...

for i am sure you have the voice and songs to make them spell bound..!!"

So, he flew into the island asking the Dolphin to wait on the shore..

and with the success so near., dolphin was getting eager.. more and more..!!

So, the crow flew inside the island, and thought how could he get them to hear..

for a marvel of melody and music was waiting for them so near..!!

So, he asked a canary, who was singing with all the love for music she had,

about the dolphin and the singing, listening to which he was sure, she would be glad..!!

"What.. a dolphin singing??" said the bird ,"i am sorry , but i can't belive you my friend crow"..

"with such a voice yourself, you should be the last one to refer someone for music", she taunted with a raised eyebrow..!!

Nobody ... not a single soul... as the time passed by, believed him for what he said was true ...

on the other side on shore... a feeling of being betrayed yet again , in the dolphin grew..!!

"Perhaps.. my parents were right.. and singing is not a dolphin's delight.."

"and if no-one still turns up, its better for me to turn back, on the other side of the night..!!"

So, with these thought, the dolphin began to sing, perhaps for the last time she could...

and so beautiful was the song, with the melody flowing through each and every wood.."

"She is singing.. she is getting restless.. i should her help somehow...", as the crow could hear her for sure...

"why can't these out here listen to her.. for what she is singing is so amazing and so pure..."

So, the crow decided to do, what is never easy a decision to make ...

but as he has promised to the dolphin who sang so beautiful, it was a chance he had to take....

With the night turning its head , he had to do it soon...

for even for the dolphin, it was not the loveliest dipping moon...!!!

So, the crow attacked the necklace of one of the humans around ..,

snatched it, fixed it in the beak , and turned towards the shore ...

and with the humans suddenly shouting out like wild, his speeded more and more..

"This might lead them to the shore.. where the dolphin is singing aloud...

and then they would be spell bound , he was sure.., for it is something they would adore..."

So, began he flying towards the shore, as he could see the moon going down the ocean lane...

and so he could hear the dolphin singing, with loweting voice and increasing pain...

Humans were following him , so he kept on increasing his speed.. each time going down the breath...

for he had to take them to the shore.. no matter whayt happens to him.. life or death...!!

He was near the shore.. he could feel, and so he was so happy and elated and satisfied..

but then.. suddenly.. an arrow bUzzed past him.. they were after his life..

and then.. something pierced him through his back. something as sharp as knife..

and as his last breath was about to be used... he fell on the shore...

"But why can't i hear her singing.. as his ears ached for her sound..."

and as he looked around for her through his paining eyes...

she was gone. back.. and wasn't where singing near the shore....

If only she could have trusted him some more....

If only she could have trusted in herself some more...!!!

Once upon a time in the endless ocean of the west..

there was a Dolphin .. we called her "Delphi" ..

who was different from the rest, like never had any dolphin been before..!!

Obsession

Once there was a Boy, bright was his smile, true was his joy!!
He was all so much of a delight, you could talk to hi during day or during night....!!

It looked as if he had everything in life one would need...
Whenever there was need for fun, he shall always lead!!

Then came one day a bird so silky , so sweet, so attractive on tree next to his place..
Such was her aura that no one could neglect her as she sang along with grace...!!!

She met out boy and sang for him so sweet, so pure was it to hear....
how could have our boy resisted the voice so melodious and crystal clear...!!

They became friends then on and shared all the joy...
Happy to happier and happiest became our boy..!!

Then one day the bird asked if the boy would like to fly.....
For she could prepare wings for him to enjoy the endless sky..!!

The boy was uncertain if he would be able to fly...
But the bird relieved him saying she would be nearby..!!

She prepared wings so beautiful..so smooth... so light one would admire.....
So much was the skill that the boy could fly higher and higher..!!

Off  they jumped from the cliff with wings spread out at length.....
The two were flying with panache and going higher and higher with full strength...!!

They were so happy as they went far flying above the mountains and sea......
and they flew above all the places known and unknown, past everything whatever it be....!!

This continued for some days till in came the rains...
And the bird had to go to the forrest besides the terrains!!

But she promised to be back in some time once she finds a new place.....
Ad asked the boy to practice flying for when she returns, they'll have a race...!!

So the boy kept flying alone but waiting for the bird's return....
And tried to be a perfect flyer n learnt whatever he could learn...!!

Soon a month passed by and became perfect his flying.....
Whoever saw was astonished, so mercurial was it for everyone eyeing....!!

Soon other birds tried to join him in his endeavours through the sky.....
But something was missing when the boy went flying high...!!!

It was not the flying but the bird which made the flights joyful soon he realized/.....!!
And one day returned the bird and so was he surprised....!!

She was still beautiful, with same voice and the same attraction in her eyes....
But the joy was missing as she said that she had turned wise....!!

She said she now wanted to fly across the oceans, cities and lands......
but refused to take our boy with her as she feared it would erode his wings and hands..!!

So, she let out on her journey and left the boy asking him to be in the flying game......
But she would never understand that without her it would never be the same....!!

But as she wanted, so he decided to fly high towards the sun........
The other birds who started with him left in fear and soon there were none..!!

He kept flying high thinking at some height he could see the bird flying away.....
And he kept flying hard throughtout the night and throughot the burning day.....!!

Soon his wings eroded... his hands started trembling and he was about to retire....
But he still wanted to see the bird such was his desire....!!

He fell deep down into the sea with eyes open.. still looking for her all around,.
but nowhere was she to fly with out boy.....
 
                Once there was a boy... bright was his smile... true was his joy...................................................

Innocence

I wish i could be a child again, neither too small nor too old....

I would know nothing about anything,
and for me truth would be everything told.....
I would let my imagination fly,
and my every sentence would begin with a "Why"??......
my creativity would soar sky high,
and dreams more precious than gold,
I wish i could be a child again, neither too small nor too old....

My smile would make others smile,
and my laugh would bring laugh along a mile.......
my words may not have meaning at all,
but they would still scribble and fill up the wall......
I would shout,yell and cry at times,
but at the end would need a hand to hold,
I wish i could be a child again, neither too small nor too old....

Anything new i see, i dwell it to the core,
each time i see it again, my eagerness grows more and more......
I would love to go to the park,and play along with friends,
and would dress up the best each time, covering all the trends.....
And still i would have time to listen to all the grandma's stories untold,
I wish i could be a child again, neither too small nor too old....


Each time i dream of it, its like chasing a butterfly, which i can never catch,,
Since, childhood is the best as i say it, which no other age can match.....
later on in life, there are lies and frauds and war and thefts,
and each of us gets casted in the same systems mould......
But each of us contains a child within,
whose innocence still remains unsold......
I wish i could be a child again, neither too small nor too old....

A "Sin" or a "Good Deed"

One upon a time, on the banks of great river Ganga, there lived a famous medician.

He was known to save every life that came to him, as if he was an outstanding magician!!

He helped the poor and blessed the young with the knowledge he had, 

and every villager felt blessed to have such a persona in the vicinity....

He had the blessings of Lord Vishnu himself, this was the popular saying,

He can give life to the dying, such was his divinity!!

He had a caring and beautiful wife and a teenage son to care and he loved them to the core of his heart,

and thus his small family lived a happy life..  the best one could imagine..

and the medician prayed to god for all he had, 

and always tried not to commit any "sin".

The medician had never ever in life done anything considered wrong....

and the stories of his prowess and grace were many and long...!!

But one night, when the clouds were dark and light was low, 

it was raining heavily and the heartsbeats were high....

The medician's son who went to river had not returned back ,

and some bad omens were adding  to the outbursting sigh!!

But at the same night , was another boy whose body was brought along with his son's body,

and there was a sign of the snake bite, venom flowing fast into his veins...

and the two bodies were kept in front of the medician , gasping for some breath and life,

and two  bodies in front, dripping wet , as if challenged by the furious rains...

"Oh!!. The boy is the prince himself.. the heir to the throne", cried someone,

and immidiately  all bent down to thier knees, with heads down in the honour....

 and the medician's eyes were wide open and hearthbeats increasing,

for what was about to come.. he was the only saviour....

He examined the nerves of both the boys and out came an "uff",

out of the the blessed divine magician himself in the moment, he needed to decide....

On one hand was his own son whom he loved alot, and on the other was the Prince, 

and all the rules and duties of being a medician he had to abide.....

Soon he had realised that both the boys had equal breaths left before they leave,

and he could , alas, save only one of them even after using all he had.....

Whether to save the son and let the prince die , and face the wrath of society,

or save the prince and let the son die? was the question making him mad....

To save the son would be a selfish  father's duty as he thought it to be.,

but for the society it would still be a medician's fault.. A "Sin" as they might say.....

And if he saves the prince, the leader of the future, the heir to the throne and in the process if his son dies,

No-one but the poor mother would only complain, but a "Good Deed" would be society's way....

He looked into his wife's eyes: red,wet, terrified but still hopefull of his husband's divinity,

And then looked into other's .. all looking at the snake bite.......

He was not able to breathe and was caught in a dilemna he never expected,

and not even god would know what was wrong and what was right??

There was only one answer of which he was in need....

Whether to commit  a "Sin" or a "Good Deed" ?????

Why do we not listen to our heart in situations like these....??

Why is the word "Sin" deadly, even when it can save lives....??

What's correct and incorrect is a matter of thought which each one can have different,

then why .. why on earth do we think more for society than our lives.....

We may not live the way we want it to be, as it can make you do a forbidden...

but does the life remains our in that case, 

and our thoughts are so constrained, so weak, so bed-ridden.....

So, the  medician decided the way as you all would know..

Leaving his son to die, he decided to bury his emotions, and to perform the duty, to save an important life...

and began hastily to do all he could to save the life of the Prince,

and in a corner, sobbing , stood his devastated wife.......

People began to appreciate the decision  , and started helping him for the same,

for the Prince needed to be saved ,for the future lied in the his hands, trembling in pain...

and soon the magic hands started working, for the must move  out of the Prince, 

and his son was slowly but steadily loosing out in the rain......

But, suddenly , a lightning bursted onto the scene and everyone was shocked,

"Prince is not breathing", shouted someone in anxiety and fear....

He checked and chocked... as the Prince was dead!!! , and when he looked at his son's body,

his wife's outcry was all he could hear......

Soon the King arrived and looked at the dead Prince in despair...

It was all  over  for the medician he knew the moment he dropped the wrists of the dead....

"Why did you not try saving my son",asked the King? for you've committed a Sin,

the punishement for which would be your head......

The King was furious , and the medician was silent.. nobody dared to speak the truth..

Medician stood with eyes wide open and it seemed he  was no more interested in his life....

He had given it all he had to do what he considered was right, but lost it in the end.,

and looked at the corner, where stood his sobbing, devastated wife......

Why.. Why.. Why was all I have in  my mind...

for why did nobody tell the king?  what he did...

But for him there was nothing except one thing....

There was only one answer of which he was in need....

What he did.. was it   a "Sin" or a "Good Deed" ?????
