Braving storms

Source: PurplePort Bullet proof exterior, A smile that hides a million emotions, Stopping the waterfall  Showing no trace of gloom at all. She walks with a heavy heart, The turn she hadn’t anticipated this fast.  And as she glides towards her doom To tell whom her fate she has no clue. For people she loves have little to say They want her to smile and to stay. But she knows the difficult road,  She has to walk, she cannot bail; So, there she walks showing no fear  Though in her heart she trembles sheer. No tear from her eyes she let’s fall  She heads towards a new era head tall. What the future holds she knows not, She just chooses to tread along the path. The chink in her armour she doesn’t show, She looks ahead, her past ignored. 

Sunsets and memories

She had called him about ten times in the last twenty minutes.  But, what could she do, she had loved him and she felt so small. She felt like a speck of dust that he had wiped off with a rose detergent and a new but torn cloth; because that is how he has made her feel. He had made her feel like a rose, only to realize later that she had also been a thorn in his path.He had made her feel fresh, but also like some torn cloth that could be replaced.  She had just been another girl to him and while she knew that, she still dreamt about watching the sun  drown in the reddish sky at twilight with him beside her.  All of it was in vain. He had never seen her the way she saw him. She was no one special. There were five others whom he talked to the way he used to talk to her. Five she had known of, there could be many more.  Her mind was racing, her breath was heavy and tears stream

Tree of hope

Source: Pinterest She had lost all hope for Her tree had dried up. All it's nourishment she had worked towards  Had been for nothing but. There was no way left to sway, No way left for it to be green again. It's branches were now bare  And autumn had set in on it for all days. Devastated as she was , She failed to see That there was but a fruit Hanging on the dried up tree. Source: Alteristic The fruit was her ray of hope Her sign towards a green canopy That for her tree she had long desired Which she could achieve through hard work and tenacity. All optimism could not ultimately  Be lost as there was still a way out . She was only to discover it on her own , If she could do away with her doubts. She had to realise seasons change That her life was in the autumn phase; Spring was still to follow  And happy times were to come at a pace.

The Toxic Gas

Image
Source: ThoughtCo. Ages ago, there lived a beautiful queen in the land of Palati. The queen was generous and kind. She had an adorable young son who had inherited her charm. But the young son had one problem. He was affected by a contagious toxic gas that was non-disposable. This gas made people go insane and would twist their personas entirely. This realisation of the prince being sick, came when the prince killed his own noble father  out of insanity. Ministers had all gathered their wits to come to a solution to dispose off this toxic effluent, but alas, they had failed. So, as generations changed, the rule of the royalty ended and Palati became a democracy. But, the gas has spread heaps and bounds by this time. In fact, there was a man who lost his mind to the extent that he made a bomb, and a bomb had never been seen before in Palati. The man bombed the city hall out of his insanity and a lot of people lost their lives. The man was punished but the gas still hadn&

Lakshmi's ears had always heard  The same words of assurance. She was so special and loved, The favourite doll in all of town. “Lakshmi when you go to school   Don't forget to take the driver with you,” To Lakshmi said mother for her safety;  She was a girl of 10 who the world didn't know. Lakshmi came from school one day Head a little bowed to mother , “Mother the driver touched me  And I don't think I felt so good.” “Lakshmi shhh”, said mother, “Don't you tell nobody about your fate The driver will take you to school no more  And let's add one more strip to that skirt of yours.” Lakshmi with your eyes so deep  Your persona has now a chink . But Lakshmi pray all you do dear  For your crime is not so known here. “Lakshmi
