An Evening in Paradise

We sit close, with fingers intertwined

In a valley, in the middle of nowhere

The earth laughs, with flowers,

As their colors weave a magic, so rare

We lie down among the flowers,

Watching red ink flow, on a blue parchment

As the evening sky, gets a crimson tinge

With the beauty which the setting sun, lent

A sweet smelling breeze touches us

And whispers of love, we hear,

In the magical scent, of jasmines

As the first signs of darkness, appear

The last of the birds fly home,
And the twilight fades away, into the night
As stars appear, in the meadows of heaven
We fall in love again, under the soft light

We listen to the crickets chirp,
And each of the sounds, the night brings
The tinkling of a spring, nearby,
The song that a solitary bird, sings

The moon appears soon,
And pieces of cloud, scatter and glide
As the stars sing their lullaby,
I fall asleep, with you by my side

Moments later, my eyes open
We're in our bed, and I realize
Just a moment, spent in your arms,
Could give me an evening, in paradise

This one gave me a lot of trouble! It just wouldn't come out the way I wanted :( ...until it finally did ;) I should tell you, that I was totally inspired when I heard someone say the words, "Just like a picnic in heaven", and I played around with the idea for sometime...and finally, you're looking at the result!:)

Thanks to you who gave me this idea :) I owe you ;)

Hope you guys like it :)
Good Night...I  hope you all sleep well, as the stars sing their lullaby ;) :)

Oh yeah, and the above picture is from the movie, Twilight...I don't own it. It's the only picture I found, that was the closest to what had imagined. 

What You Left Behind...55Fiction#3

On nights like these, I wish you were by my side...

The world around me is still

All I wish to hear, is your heart beat,

Though it no longer does

In the darkness, I cry for you

I miss you, my love,

I miss our life together...

...Lonely nights are all you left behind

Stuffed with Love

Her little hands clasped me,

So close to her heart

In her warm bed, I used to dream,

Of us, never being apart

She talked to me everyday,

Told me all her little secrets

She took me everywhere she went,

Even to the tea parties, she had for her pets

Soon the day came,

When more friends, she made  

She forgot about me then,

With new companions, now she played

She tried to hide me,

When friends dropped by

Still sometimes, when we were alone, 

She'd hold me close, with a little sigh

I watched her grow up,

From the little corner of her room

And I had no doubt, that soon,

Into a beautiful woman, she'd bloom

I knew she was falling in love,

When I saw her, all dreamy-eyed

I saw her blush and laugh more,

When he was by her side

I was never jealous or mad,

Happiness was all I wanted for her

Sadness was all I felt,

Thinking of how close, we once were

Then on the night before her wedding, 

Into the darkness, poured in light, 

As the door to her room opened,

She took a step forward and came into sight

I knew she had come for me at last,

She walked to me and stood still

As she looked at me lovingly,

The tears in her eyes, started to spill

And she said to me,

"Thank you, for listening to me,

Thank you, for keeping my secrets

In you, my childhood I see"

"I'm marrying the boy,

 Who had once given you, to me

The most beautiful present I'd got,

The year I turned three"

"My companion, you've always been,

I will always love you, Mr. Bear

Thank you, for being my friend,

For you, I'll always care"

The Proposal - 55Fiction#2

If I could be with her,

To her beauty, I'd add a glow

I wait for him patiently, when on his knees

His love for her, he'd show

I know, She'll say "yes"

And together, they ever shall be

I'll sparkle on her finger,

A symbol of their love and trust, for all to see

....................................................................................................................................................................

No guesses here, right? :) Well, going with mushy and romantic atmosphere...here's a toast to all lovers and friends who take the big step today, and who, to quote Ankit, "on their knees, break years of patience" :)  May all of you find lots and lots of love and happiness...

Happy Proposal Day, people! ;)

Goodnight :)

Shackles - 55Fiction#1

I try always, but fail.

I cannot leave his side, even though he ignores me.

I mix with strangers and he cannot tell me apart.

I owe my birth to light, but it has brought me only 

shackles of bondage to him.

I wait for darkness to fall to get my freedom, to fade away…

...................................................................................................................................

Everyone's at it, so I thought I'd also join the 55fiction band-wagon :)

Just gave it a try...The idea came to me as I watched someone walking away today...and behind them, trailed their shadow as if it were tied to it's master...

Hope you all like it...It's even harder than I thought to express what I have to say just in a few words...55 to be precise :D

Ohh yeah...I almost forgot...the beautiful image's by: http://smashinghub.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/shadow-17.jpg

Thank you guys :)

Version#3 Provocative...(Guest Entry#2)

A Touch....

He was a wanderer, looking for the most desirable thing of his life, called love. He wandered everywhere, here and there, north and south, east and west, but he could find only money, power, lust ruling the world. He couldn't find what he wanted the most. He had no cravings for the worldly things because the only thing he couldn't have was and will be love. Like a small child, he became restless. He moved on and on and on. He traveled far and wide for his love. The problem was, he couldn't find her.

Then he was enlightened, knew that love is not to be pursued. It is not a thing which is to be searched for, it will come to you. It is the moment which takes you to your wildest of imaginations, turns you into a breathing stone for that moment and you never know when it passes away, and then it starts hitting you hard, your heart beats for her, and only for her till the end of his life.

When there was no breath of fresh air in his life, dried and withered, he saw her, jessie, that love hit him.. he saw her and that moment itself he knew, something was coming and that something passed on too, she did hit him hard and he instantly knew, she is his life's motive, his only life-saver, his breath of fresh air. He wandered everywhere for her, and lo! he she was coming towards him.

He knew he loved her, but couldn't figure out whether she too had the same feelings towards him. He waited for her. His eyes, his thoughts were enough to describe his love for her.

Whenever he saw her at a distance, his imagined touching her, caressing her, loving her, sitting beside her. He never held anybody's hand, but now he craved for that touch.

She understood him, she too desired to be his desire, desired to be his love, his heartbeat.

His wait was over, the day came for him like his love did. He touched her, and it seemed like, holding her hand for life and forever and ever. She was warm, soft, sweet and loving.

The moment was shining brilliantly, she as pure as fire and he as strong as ice, finally met each other. The destiny made them for each other.

My friend Yuvva (silly :*), (http://uv-yura.blogspot.com/), emailed this post to me as Version#3 of "Provocative"- my previous post....I'm so glad she did this...

And the main inspiration behind this seems to be a touch..."i was inspired after reading this and that, watching this and that... but the main inspiration was the moment you held my hands. ... and the warmth which i felt...", in her own words  :)

Yup, Yuvva you were right...College does seem to be good for at least one thing, huh?;)

Finding inspiration....that too in strange moments :))  

Thanks a tonne angel...:*

Version#2 Provocative...(Guest Entry)

He loves her

She likes him

When he is with her,

he knows that,

parting from her would be difficult,

so he avoids her....

The distances bring her close to the man

She speaks to him..

The man is dying to talk to her,

but intentionally he behaves nonchalantly...

He knows it's too early to express his love,

He knows he cannot stay away from her.

In her, he sees his reflection.

In every of her mischief,

He finds his...

When he's close to her,

He is close to his self.

And so he waits,

he waits,

till he becomes a man,

someday,

and then,

he shall, 

on his knees,

Break years of patience....
