Warrior Queen

I just returned from the hunt,
The wild boar left bruises on my body.
The jungle is not a fair place to be,
Just like life, forest is full of mystery.
Beauty and danger co-exist like a deceptive blend.

I am trained to look like a hawk, hear like a bat and hunt like a lioness.
I am trained to wield sharp weapons and fight fierce battles.
I am the warrior queen of a land, heard about, across the seas.
I am the ruler of a kingdom expanding ever since the dawn of human kind.

I looked into the mirror,
I saw a girl standing before me,
Coy and beautiful!
She's clad in muslin, her hair set loose.
She looked like an ancient Arab princess waiting for her king.
I snickered at my innocent longing for a knight king.

Warrior queens, they say, are not destined for a normal life, rather, not destined for love.
How is an inherent human emotion a hindrance to anybody's existence?

I believed,
Love gives me courage to fight fiercest of the battles,
Love gives me energy and happiness amid clanking swords and blood thirsty beasts.
Love gives me hope to rise up and a reason to get back home, alive!
What is life, if not a canvass to paint in Colors of love!

I hear a thud!  Was jolted awake.
I saw the little monster with chocolate spilled all over.
He's confused and nervous.
As you walk in to rescue your little boy, I looked at you and wondered,
If you are the knight king of my dream.
But I realised, you are the emperor of my heart!

A love story or a breakup story?

Some stories are so strange. Neither a common man nor can an expert judge those stories easily. This is one such story for me. Planned to be a plain one without twists and turns. But, most of the times, you plan something and life plans something else for you. The story  A girl and a boy entered a relationship without exchanging roses or without saying I LOVE YOU. They chat occasionally and most of the time it was the bliss, of a young love they got. It was not the person but the sense of love that gave happiness to both of them. On those occasional chatting, all they do is make promises and see the voice and the presence of the other. That was enough, and that gave happiness. Days passed, and only days passed. The feeling of love and the desire to live together was getting strong in the girl. She is a girl of dreams and ambitions. Her ability to imagine things overshadowed her understanding of reality. She loved the boy truly, sincerely, not the real one but the one in her i...

A Beautiful Evening

Your touch sparked a wave of memories in my head. All the noise, the noise of expectations, problems, and challenges, the noise of  agony, rejection, and failure got silenced. I was deafened to them. All I wanted was to be in you, consuming the warmth of your hug. Amid all of this, you grabbed me towards you, I was lost in diffidence! That soft touch of you, reminded me of the awesomeness of my smile, long lost! It reminded me of the innocent self that I were, aiming at the Everest, still happily hopping at the river side. It reminded me of the child I were, crying out loud when in pain, laughing out louder when in joy. I began to wonder, when did I lose myself in this babel. Amid all of this, You grabbed me towards you, I was lost in diffidence! It was a beautiful evening, up on the hill, calm and serene. The composure of the lake reminded me of the beauty of silence, that my soul yearned for. I missed out on looking at the colourful birds perching on th...
