Dancing Smoothly.

By Aashka Parashar

Dancing smoothly

With the swiftness of rains

I slip into death

With such elegance

That even life envies

My lively trance.

I belonged to her

But never belonged to her

Death allured my inner child

Into the after world

With the most enchanting lullaby

She had ever heard.

Now dreams and castles

Seem at par

Now rainbows and slumbers

Not very far.

Now I can navigate my way

Through the barren lands

Now I can water and nurture

My dead plants.

Plateaus with skulls and

Fountains of blood

I’ve seen a black kitten

In a distant world.
