Believe in Magic...

I believe in magic

It kept weaving itself

Elevating me to a space unknown

Lively, full of endearing hues

I kept getting drenched

In the downpours dense

Watching nature's fragrant growth

Playing on the musical notes

Of a radiant rainbow's colours

Igniting beats of eternal lovers

Floating under heavenly showers

That fell gently, ever so gently

Whispering, asking me

To lightly shut my eyes

In the quiet ecstasy of life ...

When I opened my eyes

And looked above

I saw greedy tongues

Of flames, licking me

With obstinate obsession

Devoid of a lover's craving

And desire's subtle suggestion

The once brilliant spell slipped into depression

Reducing my entire being to ashes

My soul charred ... maimed, marred

Pierced by terrifying, painful clashes

That dug into my skin

With the sharpness of

A sadistic vulture's beak

Gleefully watching my blood vessels leak ...

I stopped believing in the naïve

Deceptive ways of wonder

Hit by fierce lightning and thunder

Almost dead

I heard the faint beat of my heart

Gently whisper,

"Do not give up, girl,

Believe in magic pure as pearl

Life will happen to you

Your ash-filled soul will shine

To become youthful again! All your precious tears

Actually were shed in vain ..! "

"My pessimism should not drown

The tender musings

Of my innocent heart ... "

I thought.

And tears I bravely fought ...

Fearlessly, I voted yet again

For life loving and sane

I prayed chanting His name

In my hopeful heart

The surfacing beats better of me got,

"If love is true

It will heal you

You will sparkle again

With light divine

Like a sun-filled flower

You will shine and outshine

Hugging the world with warmth

Hitherto not known to you ...

And your body untrained

Will dance to the fragrant breeze

Coming your way

From the blossoming trees

Please believe in Me,

And the lasting magic

Will weave itself again.

Your wounds will vanish

Never to hurt, strangulate, chain

No longer turning your face death-pale ...

Take courage,

Step out of your mind jail ...

Believe in the power of magic

Love shall happen

Once again!"
