Above her was earth and below sky. Of broken stars and burnt ashes, Daffodils and Lilacs Mountains and castles She despised it all. She wore the jumkas her dadi gave And plaited her hair with jasmine garland Ah flowers, fragile flowers It shall die soon, isn't it? Maybe that's why she wore it, At least for some time It'll stay with her, Be a part of her And soon like everyone wither away, Because What is beauty, if doesn't fade away? People, The Most beautiful Thus, so shall leave. Happiness is temporary, And what stays is grieve Mortal smiles and immortal tears, Love? Such a disgust. Selflessly she hated. Ink stained fingers and incomplete sentences Paintings of beggers Poems of insane And a play she had wrote for herself Of black and grey, Smiling at her own self She knew, This was the most beautiful tragedy, She was the most beautiful tragedy.
