The big rock stood stronger than ever. With his foot planted firmly into the ground, he withstood many cycles of rain, snow, storms etc. But nothing could budge him from the spot. The soft carpet of grass often teased him for being too stubborn and proud. Probably because they never could convince him to move even a bit ald let them see the patch of ground their ancestors over past seasons could not see. Even the wise oak tree could not get him to speak.
"May be he is mute?" Said the tiny frog from the lake.
"I wonder.." Replied the dragonfly while dancing around the frog, "legends says he used to speak. But one day the mountain coughed out smoke and drooled away hot pudding. Since then he went quite."
"Maybe the hot pudding burnt his tongue?"
"Shh.. He may be hearing us.."
"Look at him. He still is staring across the lake, towards the mountain with boundless admira.. "
And the frog burped out the wings of the dragonfly.

The Eternal Lilium :
-------------------------------------------------
Once upon a time, there lived a king of flowers who controlled everything about flowers by his will and owned all the flowers in this universe. He had countless gardens most of which were open to everyone leaving a few which were forbidden for anyone to enter. These forbidden gardens were called as the Sanctuary of the Sacred flowers and these gardens contained heavenly flowers. The punishment for any human who entered these sacred grounds was death. Moreover these gardens were guarded by the immortal hounds whose even saliva was poisonous to all other animals including humans. Since humans couldn't enter it, they were always curious about the it because not only these gardens contained heavenly flowers but these gardens were also a part of many myths and legends.
Now just a few miles away there was a village where there was a beautiful girl named Lilyan whose enchanting smile won the hearts of all but especially Ferand. At the age of 17 Lilyan fell seriously ill and it was certain that she would die in few weeks. As the news of her approaching death spread, the entire village was filled with the air of sadness. Hearing that Ferand ran to see her and declared his love for her to which she smiled but asked him to forget about her as she would be dead in few weeks. Ferand didn't give up on his love and asked for her one last wish she wanted from her heart and no matter how hard it maybe to fulfil it, he'll make it possible. At first she refused to answer him but later she hesitantly replied that she wanted to see and smell the fragrance of the winter lily before her death.
Winter Lily- It was said that this flower bloomed only in winter (as the name might have already suggested that ) but also that it bloomed and glowed in night. Glowed with a very soft but luminous light which would outshine the moonlight in the coldest night. Some myths even suggest that based on the feelings of its possessor it would even respond with an appropriate voice and words.
To fulfil Lilyan's wish, Ferand now started his journey to get the winter lily from the forbidden garden of the King. After a few days of travelling he finally reaches his destiny, the house of the old alchemist. The alchemist gives him the Salve of concealment but at the price of his arm. He then applies the salve and sneaks into the garden with the utmost care and finds the lily. Just when he steals the lily, the lily cries alerting the guardian hounds. Knowing full well that the hounds can't leave the garden he runs to the final gate but by then a hound catches upto him and bites him. Nonetheless Ferand manages to get out of it. He starts his return journey while the poison from that wound starts to spread. He finally reaches his village and finds that Lilyan had already expired few days ago. And according to her wishes she was buried near an old Banyan tree around which she played a lot. He reaches there and collapses. He knows that his end has arrived and he silently awaits his death there. Surprisingly he then hears a majestic voice.
"I am moved by your love and devotion, now tell me your final wish" to Ferand's surprise it was the voice of the King of flowers.
"The sweet fragrance of this lily reminds me of the sweet smile of my Lilyan. I want to smell this till my death and also that my grave is always surrounded by it." Ferand responded back.
After his death, Ferand was buried beside his love and then near his grave the winter lily gave off the fragrance. Since the lily bloomed and remained active only in winter, the king froze it in ice and then petrified it so that it gave fragrance forever. And also turned that entire place into a garden of lily . But to the feelings of Ferand the winter lily responded by singing an extremely beautiful but melancholic song to show his devotion. And it is said that it sings continuously, even today.

Frozen Fragrance
—------------------------------
He arrived at her home as fast as his legs could take him, panting like a hunting dog. The distance wasn't a short one. He banged her door fiercely. Once, twice, three times. Finally he heard footsteps, then a key turning in its hole. Slowly, the door opened just enough for him to see her eyes, her beautiful swollen eyes.
He stood there, shocked. "Why wasn't she opening the door like she used to?", he thought. Just as he contemplated asking this, she said limply, "Zayan, what are you doing here?".
"Lee, is everything ok?", he started, "you weren't yourself when we spoke a few minutes ago". "I ran all the way", he continued, "please tell me what's happening".
She moved her lips to form words but not a sound came out.
"Please, Lee, please", he pleaded. She looked into the night thoughtfully for five minutes then she made to widen the entrance. Suddenly, from inside the house, Zayan heard through most horrifying snarl, not of a dog but of a man. The man, her father, bellowed, "Haven't you had enough beating?".
"You would like me to torture you like I did your mother, wouldn't you?", he continued. "Who's at the door", he asked authoritatively.
"No one Father! ", she replied visibly trembling. Zayan knew she was desperately trying to protect him so he silently slipped away from the doorstep and hid behind the bush beside their home.
Seconds later, the door was flung open and out came the enraged adult looking around for any sign of movement. Done with the inspection, he jammed the door and fastened it with locks.
Zayan stood up to leave knowing the coast was clear. He had taken a few steps away from her home when he heard a loud slapping sound followed by some silence. The sound of a girl's cry filled the night's air after that.
Tearfully, he looked away and continued walking. "Why her?", he asked himself, "she's is such a beautiful and peaceful creature." "She is so sweet that none encountered her without leaving with smiles", he reflected sadly.
He resolved to help her whatever the cost. He loved her too much to leave her to suffer this pain alone. "I wonder if she'd ever really know how much", he thought as he walked into the night. It was a chilly night that had lost its beauty. A chilly night with frozen fragrance.

Soiled Dew Drops
—-------------------------
Season's best gift of nature
the dew drops so pleasant
to satiate the dryness all over
lets cherish the drizzling ornament
On the grass, on the leaves
on the petals of flowers so fresh
Amusing the butterflies and the bees
dew drops leave no address
With the rays of sun
the dews evaporate
some lie down
soiled yet temperate
Whether soiled or as a mist
dew drops find no anguish
living a life of selfless gist
they do deserve a valuable wish

Last Letter
—---------------------------------—
It appears to be an eternity. Floating in the dark ocean of light. Even though she was practically alone, yet she can hear screams blasting through her conscience. Screams so painfully vivid that one can see them. One after another. Shattering any ounce of sanity that may have been hiding itself in the deepest valley of her gut.
Wait. Did I just say gut? Shouldn't it be mind? But.. Ahh.. The screams.. Again...
Yes. I share her conscious. Who am I? I am the one who decides what kind of heartbreaking screams she is going to see next. I am the 'Last Letter' she wrote to the Santa.
As a child she was a good kid, had lots of friends, family and free spirit. Untamed, wild and devilishly beautiful. She would write a letter to santa every year. Innocent letters with gluttonous wishes.
But something corrupted her heart. She was tainted and the Mephistopheles assigned me the task to show her what may come.
Oh let me clear something. Santa is another name for Mephistopheles. The whole god and devil story is actually a sham.
Imagine a tyrant who enslaved you. Breaking free from that slavery is not an act of sin! Its gaining freedom.
She gave in her freedom and scribbled me, claiming her love and devotion to the tyrant, seeking nothing in return, claiming absolute devotion. So I choose to show her the consequences of those who surrender and fall into the trap of eternal slavery.
This is not hell. This is just a glimpse of the 'heaven' she chose. And I will make sure this is the last letter she ever wrote.

Song of Silence
----------------------------------------------
“The year… 1987. Location… Some island on planet earth. Agent O’o Rin… respond. I repeat. First mate O’o Rin. Speak. First mate O’o Rin. Confirm your location. First mate O’o.. Have you landed and assumed the form safely? Number one? Respond. Rin. I am begging you. Please, please say something.”
Suddenly, something moved below the tree. But Kauai O’o was busy in the mating call. Singing for his partner that would never return. Kauai O’o, that is what they called this bird on earth. Humans recorded the song thinking this is the final mating call of the last bird of its kind for a partner who never replied back.
This was indeed the last time they heard him.
“ O’o Balze, Your ship is surrounded by the Soaring Dragon Battalion. Surrender now, and you will be treated with mercy.”
“What do we do Balze? We are surrounded.”
“Damn! How did they find us? We made sure to clear all trails and hide in the intergalactical labyrinth.”
“This is not the time to think that. You are the captain. The safety of the crew is your responsibility. Do something!”
“You are right. Rin! Lead the crew out through the life-ships. I will stop these SDB.”
“But you know you can’t stop them all alone.”
“But I will buy enough time for you all to escape.” Said Balze as he winked at Rin and disappeared behind the snake-like passages in the ship.
As O’o Balze was holding off an entire army, he realised he is not alone. O’o Rin took the front line as well. As the first mate this was her job and as his partner this was her pleasure. Together they bought enough time for the crew to escape.
“Balze, I am running out of the fuel.”
“There is a planet in the next solar system with various life forms. We can camouflage there.”
“Are you asking me to run?”
“The crew made out safely, its Ok to retreat now.”
As they head towards the planet earth, they hit the camouflage button on their ships to assume a life form of the planet to hide. Though their camouflage was synchronised, Rin’s fuel exhausted soon than they anticipated. And here awaits O’o Balze for his comrade and love of his life. Little he knew that they took the form of Kauai o’o birds and humans recorded his failed attempt to contact Rin as the last song of the bird.
Though they failed to listen the song of another bird, Balze sure heard something. He heard the silence and its song. In return of his song Rin sang the song of silence for an eternity, reminding him of her devotion, sacrifice and love.

A Moment Please
------------------------------------------
Tears dripped along my cheeks and I tried unsuccessfully to suppress my sobs as I stared fixedly at the crash site. I tore myself away from the man holding me and ducked under the tape, ignoring the shouts of the police as I made my way towards the mass of twisted metal and ceramics that was, once upon a time, an Earth return vehicle.
I grabbed a shattered heat tile and threw it away, ignoring the way it cut my hands. I pulled at the bent sheet of aluminium alloy, my blood painting them red as I shifted it away, revealing yet more ruined material. Heedless of my wounds I drudged forwards, desperate to find something, anything, until a pair of arms wrapped around my chest, pulling me away.
I struggled and tried to kick at the person the arms belonged to, but he was stronger than me.
"A moment, please."
The world surrounding me froze, drained of noise as those three words echoed in my head. I looked around wildly, trying to find the source of that voice. A small white creature resembling a cat sat amidst the stillness, surrounded by the frozen flames of the still burning ruins.
It stared at me with its featureless face and, flicking an ear, the voice came back.
"I can offer you a chance to set this right, Francesca. Time stands still for now, but unless you make a wish soon she'll die - and you won't have another chance."
"Who are you? What do you mean, a wish?" I replied, my voice shaking and breaking.
"You may call me Kyubey. I can fullfill any wish of yours, in exchange for you becoming a Magical Girl."
"You can save her?"
"If that is your wish, yes." it projected, swishing its tail. "But you don't have much time left."
"Then... I wish she'll be alive and healthy, now and forevermore!"
Its red eyes glowed, and a similar glow surrounded me, pain wracking through my body. I shouted as the light coalesced into a green gem in front of me, and time started flowing again.
I fell to the ground, hard, but the pain was nothing compared to my earlier agony. With the corner of my eye I saw the creature disappear in the flames, but not before hearing its voice again.
"Your wish successfully reduced entropy."
Another man joined the first and they lifted me, carrying me away. An EMT tended to my wounds, and a psychologist tried to talk to me, but I spent the rest of the day in a daze - wanting to believe my wish came true, but too jaded to think she was anything but a mangled corpse.
They decried her survival a miracle: unscathed in the middle of a sea of dead bodies, how could it be otherwise? But I knew what that meant. I wasn't hallucinating.
And when Kyubey returned, jumping on the sill of my window one evening and staring at me with his huge red eyes, I said only one thing.
"What do I need to do?"

A Moment Please
------------------------------------------
"Waaaaaaaa"
A scream ripped through the heart of the busy city. Never did the city of Delhi has seen an incidence like this before. It is as if the earth at the red fort gave up gravity on her and she is falling. Falling off the earth itself. Even she has no idea what is happening. She came on a tour with her college friends from the Doon valley to the capital city.
Suddenly the atmosphere around her started dissolving into an ocean of nothingness. And she kept on drowning. Sinking deeper into the dark depths, passing through what earthlings called as layers of atmosphere.
This was nothing like atmosphere! As she sank further from troposphere, the ocean grew thicker and darker. With The depth increasing, she can see creatures floating by. The deeper she sank, the bigger the creatures grew. One after the other she saw creatures with different attires, spectacles, cases and pamphlets passing by; ignoring her as if she is invisible.
"Just a moment please." She said. "Where am I?" , "Anyone please help!" , "Hear me out at least!"
But nobody even looked at her.
Sinking in desolation, she even stopped her futile struggle to even swim through the now tar-thick ocean.
Soon darkness took over her.
What felt like a sleep of eternity, she woke up into a castle, guarded by now a dead dragon. A valiant knight had already slain it and kissed the princess out of her sleep.
Looking at an incredibly handsome yet unfamiliar face who just kissed her, she screamed in horror.
"What is the matter oh beautiful princess? It is I who saved thee. Thy prince. Nay, thy true love."
"Love? My ass! Who gave you the right to kiss me without Concent? Piss off. I can protect myself from perverts like you."
And she punched the nose of the knight with all her might, exactly the way she learned in her judo classes.

"I will love them more. Aye, even more. I will hide my love with seeming to hate, and disguise my tenderness as bitterness. I will wear an iron mask, and only when armed and mailed shall I seek them."

Forgotten as they said, he'd lost. What they didn't know, his name was still embossed. In their hearts, but frost. January 22, 2017 at 05:00PM
Shackles of Mortality
------------------------------------------
The excruciating pain seemed to break all the scales and reached a new height of 11. Danny clenched the palm of his sobbing mother to struggle for his last few more breaths. Suddenly the beep of the machine sitting beside his bed froze in the atmosphere. The tear drop that tricked down the eyes of his mother floated in the mid air.
"Hello Danny."
A voice echoed through the grim hospital room. The room from where only dead bodies go out. Never once a patient recovered from this room and went back as a healthy person. This room is assigned only to the sickest of all, people who need intensive care just to ease and in rare cases prolong the painful death.
"A Grim reaper?" Thought Danny. "Wait, why can't I feel pain. Am I dead?"
"Not yet! You have 8 more minutes to live. 8 more minutes of excruciating pain. And trust me those 8 minutes will be the worst of your life."
"Don't try to scare me! I lived my entire life in pain. I am glad I got only 8 more minutes."
"You don't understand Danny" the serious yet gentle voice echoed through the conscious of Danny. "All the pain you went through is not even a part of what awaits you."
A chill ran through the spine of Danny. He is a strong 15 yr old kid. Even during the most painful conditions he kept smiling, to keep his family strong. But he is tired of the pain now. For now he is in a painless condition. Something he never felt before. And getting back into a more painful situation is the most cruel thing that can happen to him.
"I can take that pain away Danny. I have an offer for you."
"...."
"I can break the shackles of mortality for you."
"What do you mean?"
"You see Danny, I am offering you a deal. I am willing to take your place and die in your stead."
"Why would you do that? And what would happen to me if you die in my place?"
"Because... I am.. (Sigh) God. And I ... Wish to offer you an immortal life, unless you do something like I am doing right now."
"God? I don't understand!"
"This is simple. I replace you and die in your place. And you will become the God with all the powers that I have. You can do whatever you wish to, except for disrupting the balance of nature. The first God put nature on what you may call as autopilot and disrupting it would be the end of universe."
"But what would happen to you?"
"Oh, I will disappear. That's what happens to all those who die."
"So there is no heaven and hell?"
"Hahahaha. You are an interesting kid Danny. Wish I had more time. Heaven and hell is all in your head and you create this on earth. Now! Moment of truth. You want to feel that pain again and disappear forever, or you wish to take the throne of God and have access to a reservoir of boundless power?"
"There is so much I wish to do. But most important thing is, I can't take this pain anymore. I would rather become a being that does good for the mankind, than disappear without leaving a trace."
"As you wish."
After exactly 8 minutes, doctors declared Danny dead.

Let My Heart Break Today!
Let me get mad again,Let me love that someone again.She knew I loved her again-n-again.Even when we could not talk,Even when we could not see,Even when we could not touch.But.. every time we felt,Felt each other so close..Just like this "You♥ME".

Shackles of Mortality
----------------------------------------
His breath was heavy as he laid there, unable to protest as the machines kept him alive. He was in so much pain and he just wanted to be done with it. But the pain continued and he was forced to live because he couldn't protest, couldn't tell his loved ones of the pain he was in, unable to move or speak. He knew he had LIS, it wasn't a surprise that it would happen. But what he didn't expect was the pain of it, of being trapped in a bed, being trapped within himself.

When Winter Had passed
It was a lonely timeAs the river shivered in the coldAnd fell asleep beneath a blanket of ice
While the mischievous winter winds blew
Embracing the naked trees
Somewhere within the earth
Summer silently slept
And dreamt of trees
Redressing in springtime green
While throughout those chilly nights
I imagined dancing by the river’s waters
Under the warmth of the sunIn a time when winter had passed

fireflies by Collab with Becki Friend
from the porch of the
old fishing cabin
the lake seems to be
sleeping,
flat and cold
it ripples in contest to
a drifting log,
one by one
in sheets of transparent
slopes.
an ember trails to
the stare of luminous
flames, a disconnect
from the chill
orange sparks rising
from the pit of
fallen logs
stacked by the lakeside
like fireflies escaping
fire
and I follow
the scent of burning wood
to my home.

It was that era
The time of destruction
Lead, fired, executed
By a single man
A knight of the night
A warrior in black cloak
One who has broken free
From the shackles of mortality
Simple yet dangerous
It was that era
When the single man
Watched and laughed
At the brilliant chaos
Right before his eyes
Luminous street lamps
A million heads in view
Armoured tanks and bomb shells
An entrance and barricades
Assuming their partial,interim places
Fearless and dauntless
The soldiers would match
To the death or to live again
For camelot or for what's not
Fight, they must
Defying all odds
And even the grim reaper's

The bridge of Reika is the only path that connects two different worlds. One of them is the world of human. Naieve, ignorant, weak and yet foolishly arrogant race. The other one is the world of predators where ancient creatures called Norzas dwell. Creatures so fearsome that knows no mercy. Everything that is not them is food. They pillage they kill and they grab whatever they find. A baby Norza easily towers most of the full grown human.
And the one who guards this bridge of Reika is Arantha. A part Norza part Human. Long, long time ago, Norzas ruled the world. For them humans were just food supply. They would cross the bridge to gather food and return to their cosy dwellings made on the highest tree tops, swinging in the air, riding the clouds. But one day the Daughter of the highest of Norzas fell in love with the tiny creatures they gather for food. She saved one as a pet. In time that pet learned her language and they began to communicate. To her surprise, even food had feelings and emotions. She travelled to the far north, few over mountains, rocked the clouds and tamed the waters. After years she returned with Arantha. A creature who vowed to stand guard between both the worlds. To save humans from turning into just food.
For thousands of years nobody crossed that bridge. And today, here he stands, facing an army of human ants. Curious, greedy explorers ready to hunt down the only thing that keeps them from being hunted.

Call to Sea
Schooner at rest,
lines, sheets naked against clouds,
warfed.
Sturdy ship calmly awaits
call to rig three masts,
cast off with the tide,
hands heart quickened,
cries of gulls,
music wind strummed in guys and stays.
Blue water sailor at sea
longs for port,
ashore soon pines
for rolling deck,
salt air, straining boards,
great unknowns to call man to his best,
put heart and sinew to mortal test.
