Poem
Barefoot, I stepped on the twigs and the dry leaves, Loving the cracking sound they make as they break, Hating the noise at the same time, As, they might wake those sleeping monsters From whom I was running! Barefoot, I plunged deeper and deeper into the forest Braving its dense shrubs and its lazy snakes, Its furry koalas and its napping alligators, Its prowling wolves and its preying carnivorous plants! I hardly knew where I was going, I hardly knew anything about my past, I could only recollect waking up in an open cage, Next to sleeping monsters, all smelling of narcotics And alcohol, Seemingly too taken up with their high waves To care about me! Still, seconds before I woke up, I had seen, in my dream A Goddess, dressed in a blood red saree and being So magnificent in appearance, with milky flawless skin And beautiful traits, looking like She could be the Queen of Existence! "Wake up," she had said to me in a riddling manner, "Wake up and dive into the darkness in front of you!" Her words I did listen, fearing nothing and no one For, whatever be the cause of everything, whatever be The consequences of everything, What matters and what shall matter remains Her will being fulfilled! My heart started thumping, the moment I saw, in front of me Trees sliding away and making the way for me To reach the clearing, where, a prince sat by the side of his horse And my dead body! He was sobbing uncontrollably, shaking and clenching his fists So much that the veins of his neck stood out! Then, it all came back to me, I am his beloved and together We have been fleeing our native soils, as, it would seem, Our love was deemed as being a sin! Love, being expressed in this way in my usually stony prince Was more than melting! It started playing notes in heart, causing my femininity To dance and my whole senses to simply explode As would the most destructive of volcanoes! So, Taking a huge gulp, I dived into my own body and woke up To his disbelieving eyes and to a lifetime of love As has been willed not only by both of us But also by the Mother Goddess who visited me in my dream!
