The knight

The enchantress waited for the gallant,the Knight
Her little canoe,danced in the undulating waves
Across the valley,through the long meadow he came
Riding his white horse,he was so charmig in his robes!

The enchantress sat invisible in the canoe,
she knew the knight will come to cross the river
He was on his way to meet his sweetheart,the daughter
Of the rich merchant living in the big mansion
The moonstruck fairies wandered here and there,
Soothing breeze,fragrant with the night blooms
The gallant came near the canoe,tied his horse
Patted him with love to be there waiting for the master
The horse saw the enchantress,pined to warn his master
Stood restless,his heart throbbed for beloved master
Who walked to the canoe with a smile on his lips
With all his might the horse jumped to break the rope
The knight followed his horse running fast
Her eyes ablazed with anger and she let out
The fierce hurricane to stop the Knight from going far away
The horse stopped not but paused for a while
For his master to climb to his back
Defeated the blowing storm he reached safely
The moonlit courtyard of his master
with the fragrantflowers in creepers.

Shadow

Beyond the twilight,bleeding clouds
The red canopy,the painted faces blushed
Always behind me I warn you, my shadow
Lying on the ground replied the dark one
You never turn your back to sun,Or
perhaps, to some unknown land I may lead
where no one looks at your face so ugly
And with shapeless long body,so horrible.
If you are obedient I shall always follow
In all your joys and sorrows,ever be with you

cruelty

Look forward,you little one
Everywhere the mist and smog
the beans taste sour,we can't eat
nowhere to nest,no big trees
only small dark shrubs and herbs
The green eyes follow us everywhere
Had eaten my eggs before they hatch
Do not chirp little one,the boys there
will throw stones if they find our nook
Your grandma lost her soul years back
When the mischevious boyt threw a stone
OOOO my! something hit me,they saw us
Escape my child,fly with your wings
I lose my vision,I will die soon
Fly as fast as you can,dear,see you
Sometimes in the next life,if there is rebirth
Adieu the cruel world,Iam off now

Journey

Started the soujourn endless,chuckled now and then,

Lamented on some loss,furious on humiliation

Depressed in conflicts,romantic withthe sweetheart,

How many masks do men have,so bright and luring

From cradle to the grave the story extends

Some gains and some loses,yet the world spins

From the childhood innocence,fly fast with wings

To the reckless youth,full of fanatic ideas

Run fast like a triumphant horse,with head high

Atlast tired and rests in his staple

Will a loving soul be there to give food

And warmth of love,till he reaches the last point

The graveyard,where everyone shower love

And affection,on the departed soul.

The Enchantress

There she dwelled, the Enchantress
Beyond the meadow,where the cattle graze
A big mushroom,ugly floor and wall
half burnt bones ,nails and hair
Last night she could not sleep
She was busy with her black magic.
The blood of a beast, smelt horrible
Yet she had her food along with her cat
From the same vessel they ate
She drank stinking ale and sang
Filthy words flew from her mouth
there was not a single human to hear
For it was a secluded corner of land
Where the dark forest started

End of the journey

Adieu comrade,I have reached the shore
Wild waves fetched me to this golden beach
Leaving you in the turbulent sea, swim across
With all your might,Thunderstorm,heavy down pour
A fierce hurricane is around the corner to seize
My chariot is ready and here I go to the kingdom
Ruled by the Autocrat,land of many wonders
Leaving here the pack of all memories perishable
Sweet or sour,let the sea wash it in the rocking cradle
Never think of me in any of your tender day dreams
I will be in the star studded sky always watching you
From the glittering wonderland,far away from you.
Beyond the seven seas and endless pillers and peaks
The abode of the Ruler,triumphant in all battles

fate

One cold moonlit night we eloped
My lover offered a heaven in earth
Far away from the mother's lap
The journey seemed endless.
Woke up by an uproar of the street
From a nightmare,I slept for a while.
A dark nebula where we dwelled
beneath the ugly thatched roof
Spiders had large webs above
Mice searched my earthen pots
For some leftover food but in vain.
Bells tolled next door,I was afraid
For a cruel enchanter dwelled there.
He demanded my stillborn child
For his new elixir to get triumph
Over everything under the sun.
The lean woman ,the butcher's wife
Warned against dire consequences
If I hesitate to obey the cruel old man
She smelt blood,saw fear in her eyes
One day her man may slaughter her too.
Shocked to see my lover going away
With his mind and body far from me
Another moonlit night I eloped again
Without my lover,to the end of earth
To the dark corridors of a lunatic asylum.
