Victory

She planted a kiss on his forehead. Did he stir in his sleep? Maybe.

She got up and took a walk around the quiet house. Stopping by the photographs on the mantle-piece, she re-winded her life. Graduation. Meeting Jim. A spring wedding and a Hawaiian honeymoon. The twins. Their silver anniversary turning to golden. Her pale countenance flushed with contentment. 

She had triumphed in every step of life. She had been happy. Until she lost her battle with Death.

If I Could Catch a Rainbow

THE ULTIMATE BLOG CHALLENGE DAY 8

If I could catch a rainbow,

I would bring it down to you,

So that I can keep you close,

And never say adieu.

If I could catch a rainbow,

I'd bathe it with our love,

I'd let it paint your smile

Before putting back above.

If I could catch a rainbow,

I'd seal it with a kiss,

So when you look above,

It's me who you'll never miss.

But I cannot catch a rainbow,

Though something I can attest,

I shall hold your hand forever,

A friend I shall be the best.

The Dance

THE ULTIMATE BLOG CHALLENGE DAY 5

"Dance with me," she said.

And they danced. Danced through the night, till the wee hours of morning, even after the music had stopped and the floor had become empty. Everything around them had turned sublime, barring her sweet fragrance and his strong cologne. They embraced, they waltzed, they whispered sweet nothings in each others' ears - they looked hopelessly in love. 

They had lost count of the hours, the dancing bodies seeked solace. And then things changed. His love struck heart ached. He could feel her drift away from his embrace. Their dancing bodies had become still, their entwined fingers became loose. She was moving away, he did not want to let go off her. He tried to hold her back, but then, darkness engulfed him, and she was gone. 

******

She silently tucked the gun between the folds of her gown, glanced at his cold lifeless body and walked out. Her revenge had been taken.

An Accidental Kiss

The Ultimate Blog Challenge Day 2

Gentle touch, brush akin,

Skin to skin.

A moment's passion,

Sudden gone.

A kiss was it? Or accident?

Trembling lips,

A heartbeat skips.

A moment's dawn,

Sudden gone.

A kiss was it? Or accident?

Warmth in eyes,

The twinkle implies.

Ah! what bliss,

An accidental kiss.

Have a little faith in me

A thousand rainbows

we vowed to see,

Side by side,

Fingers entwined,

Hundreds seen, rest yet to see,

Have a little faith in me.

Dusky days, 

no shadows cast,

Solace you seek

in my arms,

Through golden tresses I whisper to thee,

Have a little faith in me.

Sands of time 

trickling down,

'No time for me'

you complain,

Kiss you soft, an earnest plea,

Have a little faith in me.

Our wrinkled faces shine so bright,

Side by side,

Eye to eye,

Till death do us apart, 

a promise to thee,

Have a little faith in me.
