Confessions of a Flower Petal..
One fine day, breaking the shackles of a bud
I came to this beautiful world
To be a part of this divine nature
Is a feeling indescribable
My fellow mates greet me as I look around
Each and everyone blooming in their own color
They welcome me with smiles and warmth
After all I am a flower petal
A cool breeze sways me east and west
And I move along with all the zest
For what else I could ask from almighty
After He obliged me with all the beauty
I see some creatures passing by
Moving freely under the sky
“These are humans”, my fellows say
I sense their despair as they pray
Suddenly everyone goes silent
As though they’ve seen something violent
And then I hear the cries
The moans when a flower dies
I ask what is happening
They say the gardener is killing them
This is a mass murder we face everyday
And pray for the souls who have been plucked
What is the point of such massacre
It is the humans whom you should ask
The carcasses they take home everyday
Are the beauty objects to display
I shiver in this difficult cold night
Thinking what fate would come with the daylight
I ask for the Lords mercy
To bestow me with a full life
A cool morning wakes me up
I feel something on me
Its a watery drop that lays on me
Curled up in a transparent blanket
I wake her up and greet her
She rubs her eyes and looks at me
She greets me back
With a hesitant smile
We chat for a lot of time
Her smile in all its divinity
Her touch full of warmth
And amidst all this she disappears
I sit all the day
Thinking about her
My friends tease me
That you are in love with her
The next morning she’s back again
The same periods of usual chat
And before you know
She disappears again
This time apart from her
Gives me pain I’ve never felt
I wish that the next day
I rather get picked by that gardner
As she meets me the next morning
I look at her coldly
She looks at me concerned
And asks me, “what’s the matter?”
This is what breaks my heart even more
You never understood me
You never became my Juliet
But I was always your Romeo
I pray to god sadly that day
That I take my wish of the full life back
Please give me the death that my fellows suffer
Atleast my soul-less body will be loved by some
The God Almighty grants me my wish
And there I see my angel of death
Waiting for the ultimate moment
I bid goodbye to all my friends
I think for the final time
About my love , my Juliet
Then I see the hand approaching me
I close my eyes and then
Its , “The end”.
