Snigdha Harsha
Walls so high, no windows till the sky,
Mysterious aura surrounds that castle
Civilians wandered and wondered,
But all in vain, they couldn’t penetrate that manor.
There she sat, walking on the air
In her own cosmos, she just can’t seem to complain!
She was delighted; she was all in contentment,
She had all that she ever wanted.
She had something up on her sleeve
She won’t tell, wanted them to understand,
Scared to come out, scared to trust anyone,
Labyrinthine but without a decipherer
Aristocrats, noblemen, soldiers, even peasants
They came and gone, spring turn to autumn
Merriness turns to melancholy,
She became delusional, she couldn’t bear herself.
The walls which seemed so friendly,
Started shrinking
The fantasies which felt so reviving,
Were lifeless like a corpse
She wanted someone,
Human, animal, ghost, fairy, zombie
Who would break her walls
The one who will restore her trust
Now she still lay there lost in own imagination
Hoping that she’ll find someone
Who won’t need her hair to climb up the fortress,
Just pure intentions!
