THE FAIRY FLEW AWAY
Being a fairy,
She entered my world
With no grudges or complaints.
On her ruby lips,
Hiding behind her back
A surprise gift
Of unconditional love.
But the goddess
Of Maya had mesmerized
So profoundly my heart and mind
That such a powerful brain
Became too fragile
To comprehend, to judge, or analyse.
To that Maya goddess,
I gave my days, months, and years—
Had gaudy lunches of hope
And numberless candlelight dinners.
But how couldn't I see
Those truthful tears of a fairy?
My senses were blind,
My intellect was chained—
Every goodness from my heart
The Maya goddess had fully drained.
Leaving the lap of eternal pleasure,
I became a prey to false ecstasy.
How couldn't I see
The honesty in the eyes of that fairy?
The fairy flew away;
The goddess of Maya
Cheated on me—
My heart burst
Into pieces;
My world was looted badly.
Now, the only pain that tortures me:
Why couldn't I feel
The selfless love of a fairy?
