Dunno What It Was !!
As no one cud hear or see me cry
The air, the wind, the leaves though moved
The insides of me, grief within, grooved
No means can i find to convey my loss
No song, no letter, no beer gloss
But then i saw
With an open jaw
Right above me
A miracle to see
Up above, from the sky it fell
As it caused my heart to swell
With a feeling unknown
A touch so dear, i cud own
The star of life, the star of love
As sweet as honey, as soft as dove
There right there, it stood
A fairy, glowing under a hood
She was my life, i knew
Like bread and jam, honey and dew
Well there actually were two more lines, but i thought that can wait for long now... :-)
Enjoy !!!
A Sweet Little Gift…
As I see in your eyes, so soft, so clear
A peace that never dries, my love, my dear
Much was awaited, this moment, this time
Just a glimpse of, your smile, your mime
The touch of your skin, so supple, so pure
It sends a chill, does frighten, does lure
For I feel possessed, by you, your touch
Drawn to your presence, not enough, not much
All I wish is, to feel, to see
My darling, with you, to be
Every worth it is, the longing, the pain
Until this moment, the emptiness, the strain
As I feel, your air, your presence
I wholly disregard, all logic, all sense
To caress you I have, an urge, a drive
But the moment I feel, so timid, so naïve
A gift bestowed by, my God, my wife
The best of all in, my world, my life
A smile so priceless, so sweet, so airy
My daughter, my child, my little fairy

The Land, The Lore, The Lady...
A gust of air, a smell of unmatched kind
Enchanted, one puts all else behind
To look into this land, so serene, so pure
Would leave all gratified for sure
Ellesmera, the land of life
No cries, no sorrow, no war, no strife
The land inhabited by divine
Creatures, innumerable, all benign
Conscious to their very existence
Beauty unmatched in every sense
Overwhelming all, it seems, life exists
In the very air that one breathes
The rays of the sun on moss laden leaves
Sparkling little stones, as it heaves
A new dawn, a new day
A new hope, keeping all ill at bay
All one wishes is to have one’s brethren
Here, at a place, no more than heaven
To sing to the glory of nature’s height
Sing along to all’s delight
As wind whistles, as the birds twitter
Life bites all sour, all bitter
As the flowers dance to the tunes
Of nature, as if the very runes
Of life, are being written
At this place, carefully hidden
From all, that it excludes
The earthly world, which it deludes
Behold, as I speak of the lore
Long ago, before the days of yore
Their lived a race, not elf, not man
A race extinct, when it all began
The age that wrought the present day
When the Varya had their way
Of flesh, they were fashioned
That link with men they rationed
Of great power they possessed
That link with elves they raised
Of beauty, they had unmatched
That link with nature they hatched
A race that purged all evil from this land
With strength undaunted they had at hand
But then they swore fealty to nature
Not to fight being of any stature
There was peace as never had been
And to behold their legacy, they were keen
They used their power for all the good
They sang to the air, to the water, to the wood
Their power flowing in their voices
Upholding the pact of their made choices
They created this world with wonders
Their force, here, still lingers
They sang to the air, beyond all dreams
They sang to water, in one of every streams
They sang to the woods, to every tree
They sang to all life, all that was free
With their voices ringing, and love at heart
They sang their way and made a start
To create Ellesmera, their homeland
Where peace resides in every grain of sand
Thus was born this land of fate
Where all loved, and none could hate
But how long was this to prevail
For there were forces elsewhere, frail
Frail, yes, but full of malice
Teeming with all wretched vice
For long had the Varya been eyed
But with fear, they never tried
To scourge this land of pure good
Where stand, no evil could
Not until a day when they heard of it
The oath of theirs, not to fight any bit
Began a strange amassing of army
From land, from air, and from the sea
As it was, the Varya were unaware
Busy with their duties and fare
Within the Varya, lived one
A lady with elegance matched by none
With power and strength supreme
But full of love, that none could dream
She was but hailed as the mother of all
She was respected, every rise, every fall
Songs she sang, so all fare well
To clean the land, no wicked could dwell
Lya was her name, tall and fair
An aura around her rested, so rare
Her locks flowed as the softest river
Her smile was such, that all would revere
She sang, from the Saea tree, her lair
A song a day to the tree, would be her fare
In the heart of Ellesmera, lived she
From all predicaments was she free
And it happened and the day arrived
With war on them, the Varya strived
For it was their oath that held them
And was soaked with blood Ellesmera’s hem
The streams was red, the so was the soil
Powerful yet harmless, they could not foil
The evil that had befallen on their grounds
As death took tolls, rounds, and rounds
Thus the grace of Ellesmera was lost
All this, at such a huge cost
The race was butchered, one and all
But there still was Lya, ignorant of her kin’s fall
For she was lost in her songs, in her world
But when such unhappy tidings unfurled
Broken was she, losing all her might
Enraged was she, ready to fight
Breaking her oath, she swore to her friend
Nature, asking her helping hand
To avenge her kin’s murder
Wasting no time, no energy to ponder
On the consequences that were to follow
She sang to every leaf, every grain, and every willow
She sang and sang, growing wilder and wilder
Never had her song been filled with such power
With her song’s force, the land was alive
Unimaginably enraged was she and her drive
As if there was life in the trees, in the air
They took the wretched creatures unaware
Frightened were they seeing her force
They had nothing to do, no plan, no course
She killed them all, one by one
She sang till survived none
Such rage, such anger she possessed
She wasn’t tired, she wasn’t stressed
She only wished to hunt and hunt
Killing them all, she did grunt
For then she realized what had she done
A sin, an act of evil, of extreme form
Her pain, her regret reached far into her
Into her mind, her self, growing stronger
She wept, wiled and walked
For it was the Saea, she stalked
She stopped there, dead still
And let her voice, her tone fill
With all her power, her pain she could muster
Recounting her power to love, to foster
Around Saea, she spread and wound her arms
Full of regret, guilty of all harm
That she had done to her Nature
To prevent an unholy tainted future
She began her song, the song to mend
Flowing with the power she wished to send
Mending the hell that had befallen
On Ellesmera, making it all the more sullen
She sang and sang, her voice drowning
With every note, her power growing
She cleansed the land, but still didn’t halt
She sang and sang, to mend her fault
She sang, till Saea and she
Were one, her existence was wee
Her existence became higher and higher
Reaching beyond limits, a godly order
She was one the tree that was her lair
Thus existence of Lya ended, the lady so fair
But her song, still rings there
In Ellesmera, the land where
Nobody goes, for the fear they harbor
Of pain inflicted on them by Lya’s ardor
For still she lives, in the land
She has no body, no face, no hand
She still sings through the winds, the trees
In the drops of rain, in the humming of bees
For in love and life, whoever believes
She lives, she lives, she lives………..
