My Princess

He looked into her eyes, her gleaming eyes that stared back at him. Her eyes were twinkling, like the stars up the sky.

He held her close, and kissed her forehead. “My princess !” he exclaimed. “You’re mine, forever. And I promise, I’ll love you and will be with you through everything till the day I die”.

She didn’t utter a single word, probably assuming silence would suit the situation better.

He continued “Whatever I have, and whatever I am, is for you”.

She broke down into tears. “Oh baby ! Don’t cry… Mamma will bring your feeding bottle soon !”

He said, watching the darling little angel wail. “Stop crying baby, stop crying, My Princess !”.

To Life, To Beauty

I lay there, gazing at the ceiling

Thinking of what lay beyond,

The dark sky and

the twinkling stars

everything just going round and round.

I lay there, wanting to fly high

Wanting to swim  the deepest, and climb the highest.

Wanting to seek the greatest

And be the wisest.

Gradually, I understood that I would.

Not in here, or now

But I knew, my soul

was meant for more

And hence, with that knowledge and faith,

my craving soul left my body

and became one

with the beauty of Nature, the Universe,

and I lay…

Staring at the skies above,
Cold, and Still.
