THE REVELATION

-

 

After traversing the forest

And crossing many rivers

He eventually reached a desert

In search of his belle.

 

He wandered with a broken heart

Amidst the wilderness

Limping with downcast eyes

Knowing his pursuit was in vain.

 

Breathing began to slow down

Heartbeats lost their natural rhythm

Desperate fingers reaching toward the knees

He collapsed on the sand the very moment.

 

The sun shone with a fiery rage

Hot enough to burn his body

The monstrous gust of wind

Blanketed him with desert sand.

 

A knell arose from the east

The God of death arrived

With a serene countenance

To escort his soul to heaven.

 

Covered in sand

Breathing his last

He supplicated to God

To fulfil his only desire.

 

Having compassion for the loser

God promised to fulfil his wish

For he desperately wanted to

Meet his love for once.

 

While God remained unperturbed,

He took a deep breath

Preparing for the heavenward journey

For he thought it fit to accept the pain

If that pleases the Almighty.

 

God was being cruel

Thought the poor man

But little did he know that his girl

Was expecting him in heaven.

Boarding friendship

-
  I was all set for the second flight of my life. After waving goodbye to my friends, I showed my ticket and passport to the official at the entrance and stepped into the airport, the cool air messing up my well-combed hair. Even though I had the ticket on my phone, I also brought a hard copy—just in case my fully charged phone decided to shut down. I was leaving for Dubai on a visitor visa, hoping to find a job in the next three months. As I entered, I looked around the airport and felt oddly lonely amidst the crowd. I had all my documents in place yet I had a feeling like I was sneaking into the airport, afraid of getting caught. The last time I flew, my friend Asif had been with me, guiding me through the process up until the departure section. This time I was on my own, looking for someone whose actions I could mirror until I boarded the plane. That’s when I noticed her—the curly-haired girl wearing violet pants, a violet top, and a violet cap. She walked with the confidenc...

SITUATIONSHIP

The two best friends sat beneath a sprawling banyan tree, lost in memories of the days when laughter came easily. Above them, an eagle soared, wings stretched motionless against the wind. Once they would have marveled at its effortless grace. Now it stirred nothing. The world has changed, or perhaps it has only revealed its true face. People around them had played their part, slowly, cruelly pushing them to the margins. Their only crime..... 'falling in love.' Terrified of being torn apart, they married twin sisters, an arrangement that let them stay close, even if at a cost. The years rolled on. And in those years, they learned a truth more profound than any love they had known: no one cared for them the way they cared for each other. They had called it friendship. They had believed it too until they could no longer lie to themselves. They were two halves of a single soul. And yet they understood the weight of what they felt. With loving wives at home, this was not a path they...

MAN-MADE WORLD

  There he stood motionless in a temple, adorned in a magnificent caparison. He stood still on his gentle feet for more than a day, except for the occasional raising of his trunk to acknowledge the devotees. His attention was captured by the graceful presence of a stunning woman draped in a vibrant red saree as she made her way towards him. As she drew closer, he found himself mesmerized by her beauty. Overwhelmed by her radiance, he momentarily closed his eyes, immersing himself in a profound moment of reflection. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by the enchanting sight of her smiling visage. It was an ethereal smile that effortlessly erased his sorrows and transported him to a realm of bliss in an instant. "No one can see me, except you" He looked hither and thither to check whence the sound came from. It was then that he comprehended that it was she who was speaking. Despite never parting her lips, her voice resounded with clarity, reaching his ears unmistakab...
