Eternal Love

 Eternal Love








Forever

I wish to drown in

Your mesmerizing brown eyes,

Which transport me to another world

Full of ecstasy and joy,

Where there’s no one but

You and me,

And all I can hear

Is your sweet and soothing voice,

With your soft, caring, and loving hands,

Gently caressing my face,

I will love you till

Forever.

Soldiers- The Pride of Our Nation

Image
  Soldiers- The Pride of Our Nation Their faces were etched with despair,  As the first rays of light woke them up; Another day of toiling ‘Neath the scorching sun, With hardly a proper meal,  And the Brits shouting mercilessly.  They’d go back home, To little, cramped rooms, With empty stomachs, Worn out hands and feet, Only to wake up the next morning, And go through the torment again.  Is this the life we are to forever live? Slaving away all day, Under the control of a foreign ruler,  Is there no hope in this cruel world?  Once, a soldier told another, About the miserable lives they led, Slowly, everyone voiced their concerns, And a little revolt broke out. The soldiers protested loudly, In groups of many a number, They were held down by the British guns, But had shaken the base of the foreign regime. Our voices have now been heard, They might try to silence us, But we have sown the seeds of revolution, And we shall rise again. Riots broke out thro...

Melancholic Melodies

 Melancholic Melodies We used to dance for hours, Under the twinkling stars, On the wild meadows, Just you and me. My hands in yours, Our steps were in sync, Just like our heartbeats, Always beating as one. A rendezvous every night, When the sun disappeared, I’d wish for it to never return, So that I could dance with you forever.  That full moon night In the midst of summer, I waited awhile, And then searched for you. Worried was I, What had happened to my love? I ran across the meadows, And then I found you. You were dancing with another, Laughing and smiling, As I just stood there, My world swirling down. Were all those promises Nothing but a lie? How had I failed to see  Beyond those charming eyes? Alas! My wish had come true, But in the cruelest of ways, I was now all alone,  In a world without light. ***

Trapped

Image
  Trapped ‘Whoosh.’ The wind howled and Lucy could feel a shiver run down her spine as it blew fiercely. Lucy, who had decided to explore the woods behind her house, now found herself lost. Suddenly, she felt something wet on her head. She looked up and was greeted by a drop of water on her face. Within a few minutes, it started to rain. Lucy looked up and saw some light in a tree. She could make out a treehouse amongst the branches. A rope ladder emerged from the branches as if beckoning her to take shelter in the treehouse. Lucy caught hold of the ladder and started climbing up. She could feel the wind picking up, and the rain intensifying. She gripped the ladder firmly and tried to climb as fast as she could. As soon as she reached the entrance, she stepped inside and was surprised to find the treehouse empty. The door suddenly closed behind her and it became quiet. Lucy was surprised by the sudden change of atmosphere. From outside, the treehouse had looked as if ...
