White Ashes

By Lipokmenla Longchar

FEBRUARY

A time of cold room appears for a weary being.

A thing that makes it gloomy and excites in twitchiness

of two people who had abandoned her with the blink of an eye.

They are the two who she loved dearly.

She got to see more flowers.

To the one who sleeps in peaceful bed of the flowers,

as it wishes to have white roses.

That same time comes again;

the next soul continues to leave her in agony,

the unforeseen picture,

where,

she did not believe it was the time for him to leave.

Grieves for two souls

who no longer stay in her life.

EERIE SOUL

At the darkness of night,

a feeling that comes;

to kill,

to excite, to hurt, to cry.

It will always stay and come in perennial

to you,

until doomsday.

Yet the story marks;

to death,

that cannot hold us.

Our love remains-

Unspoken.

BEASTLY

Got involved in a state of foolish devotion,

gazing at his prepossessing sight in astonishment.

Oh virtuous soul,

i failed to look down as it made me contented,

merry and fortunate.

Never did i realise that it was about to bayonet me.

Yes! I did not care to look down

and thus, i hold its hand who holds a knife

and saw the bleeding from me;

Lying on the ground,

he left me in pain.

Rain drops touched my face, wiped my tears as i

slowly close my eyes.

ENGLISH IVY

There I stood alone in a gloomy place.

It was dark and chills become evident from the cold nature.

All that i could do was just wonder around;

the surroundings of tall trees and cold breeze.

And as i took my turn,

a sudden Heavenly Colleen seated on a bench captured my eyes.

Alone and smiling so bright.

I understood by the way she called me,

signalling by her right,

went nearer, she showed me her gravestone,

we smiled each other.

Then i waved goodbye.

She still smiled,

where the creepers began to cover her slowly, fading away.

I woke up,

so full of grief-

the prettiest star left.

As i watch the morning snowfall outside my window.

GULMOHAR

As i enter the gate of the graveyards,

the sun blazing in the hot summer.

I sat on the green grass, pretty flowers beautifully placed on every grave.

But there stood;

the big tree with the most spatters of red flowers,

the tree that gives shade to them.

Which looks more of a heavenly garden.

I stood there and watch the petals

fall down the ground slowly

along with the winds.

I picture them making merry laughs, sing songs around the tree.

Sigh. I return back home remembering

life after death.

New journey begins.

TEA

The lovers paused.

Memories remained.

Years passed, his past lover comes back.

He was happy. Felt young and happy.

They made memories together again.

Few months passed.

He picks a call, got quiet .

7 a.m in the morning,

i asked him what happened.

She passed.

He smiled at me.

Sips his tea.

I stood up and left the table.

BLUE DUSK

Merry thoughts, joyful mood,

where happiness ruled anger.

I cannot express it to you.

They came and lived in me.

Days and nights went by,

your thoughts and voices left me in shape;

younger and full of excitement.

Yet the unfortunate departure of yours made me in despair.

i do not see you anymore,

perhaps, the sound of your voice in my head.

Anger again came to rule my bright life.

The golden sunset in my eyes are nothing but flames.

That i become more despondent.

WHITE LILY

Hours before she left,

i assembled my courage and dropped into her sick bed.

She smiled at me as i touched her face.

She's going to be with the heavens soon.

The angels are here for her.

As i stood by the cloister

with full of anger and misery,

i hold inside my heart.

I could not cry.

All that i imagined ensued with how to move on,

after all that she have done for me.

Fate has it.

Life goes on in this world.

She passed in serene.

People sang her best loved hymn-

Is your all on the Altar?

BLUESTAR

Alone she leaves peacefully,

the love she had for me tattooed in my heart

forever.

As she carries mine.

Once again,

spreading out her colossal wings, she flies;

crossing the mountains,

oceans and blue skies.

Oh!

She made it.

All that i could wish of her is all happiness and well.

Au revoir.

PETALS

Like the season falls,

when there were laughter,

happiness and all smiles.

Rain, sun and snowfall,

the fruits bear along with the green trees.

Flowers bloom in colors of

every branches.

Time pass by,

it becomes the end of our lives.

Some leave in sudden time.

It all ends.

Like the end of the film.

Some cries, some fears.

The end in us lies purely in despair.
