And, there by hangs a tale!


To the stars did prayers reach, of the life undone
In the times she pushed, with silence alone
Being denied of what she rightfully owned
A name, a tale, a mark shall unfailingly hound

In darkness was her quest for light
With destiny and desires, too small a plight
In storms did she seek peace
In the hope that rains shall ease
She numbered heart beats in his wait
The path that led to the closed gate

With a life of dreams, too filled for a space
For her, layered diplomacy a sweet grace
He denied, dismissed, set her heart ablaze
She fled, in the routes unknown, into a maze

Harboured a heart, hurt beyond repair
Wicked schemes did mortality prepare
With reality could she make amends?
Of happiness, love, hope pretence

Seemed a storm raised in his heart too
Set to follow his heart or any clue
In her griffonage, he did see,
She could play with destiny by setting him free

To announce his love, he did reach
To swing her in his arms he did reach
But love concealed, be love belied
The love adjourned, be love denied

Nothing left to last forever
Death's mortal hands were clever
Her wait were to end for final
She slept a sleep eternal

His routes took too long a time
None could awaken, nor love nor hymn
She lay pale and cold,
Silent lips, confessions untold

In confidence he had denied of love
Now he begs, to the one above
To love he did surrender
But dead shall rise up never

The feelings too late to unfold
The love remained a story untold.
Her love, he'd never know
His love, he could never show

And in veil, there by hangs a tale!








PS Tell your loved ones you love them before it's too late! :)

  4. So this one particular piece kinda struck my thoughts. Like I already told you, your best work. :) Beautifully penned. :) And my, *gracious bows* to the unfailing English and flow of thoughts :) :)

    True, Love needs the right kind of time, essence, audience and a story. Else it is a Tragic.

    Must say, writing tragic really requires courage. And as far as my observation goes, only people who have experienced a lot in life or learnt a lot tend to write it very easily. Etch it in such a way that the reader doesn't feel the negativity. :)

    So much for being a Lit Stu. :P :P

    Beyond this, my words fail to express my feelings because I'm so very much connected to this right now and unable to speak what you have mentioned as P.S. after the piece.

    Keep writing, lots of love.. <3 <3 :*

  7. Hello.
    This is an impressive piece of writing.
    For me, love is all there is. I exist in the shadow of love. It's what I know, what I write about and who I am. Even if I were alone, I would still know love. Very nicely done!
