And, when this soul
sublime yet whither,
forsake the earth.
Hold your tears!
Do nothing but,
Prior to her burial.
Take a parchment
broad, glittering white.
Pick a quill and inscribe,
the wail of a damsel,
who died young.
Put forth the cemetery of longings.
Of hopes, dreams dying.
Scribble swiftly,
paint the picture of a lass,
madly in love with flowers
bard talks, books
stars, moon and skies.
Write!
spitting images of monsters
horrified of sapiens.
Made a world of
her own
terribly distinct,
filled with hope,
musk, agony and pain.
Write, the story of a toddler
the torment of
a young, senile girl.
Mud on hands,
playing with toys.
Chuckling, laughing and chasing
ducks, chicks and birds.
A soul, happiest,
wildest and prettiest.
Found to be stabbed.
killed, by none
other than the one she loved.
The little sprout yet to bloom
play, laugh and dream.
Withered before the time come?
A wrecked young, a dime.
weary, of emotions, relations.
Carried tempest of emotions?
A girl, with a
pale face,
lacked gleams in her eyes.
seemed like,
dead from the inside.
When she walked,
flowers lost its charm.
darkness wrapped the universe
and gusts ceased
blowing.
What do you think?
was not she a jinx?
Who saw dreams
dying, leaves falling
before eyes.
What’s ironic is?
Don’t spill the beans
but she resembled
a bird.
The one caged,
behind bars.
failed escaping
shattered into sherds.
Loved the cage
cause it was what,
they called home.
unfettered yet chained.
Juvenile yet senile
valuable yet unsung
has finally reached her
home.
the one she imagined
A place deserted
showing no sign
of a man (society).
A place, where
dreams, emotions
and feelings
remain intact.
A place that abandoned,
but serene.
Scribble, and there you go.
A soul sublime
yet whither
have found peace.
The damsel have found peace.
