"Omanathinkal Kidavo"

"Omanathinkal Kidavo",

A familiar song, but an unfamiliar voice. It's been years since Rahel and Estha have last heard this song. She used to sing this, very often. This was their song, Ammu's favourite song. Today, after all these years those emotions rush back and hit them all of a sudden. Had they forgotten her? That long black hair, eyes full of sadness and hands which embraced them. 
Full of love; Their Ammu, their mother. 
Holding hands, they listen to the rest of it. 
Half asleep, they are in a far away land. Where love was not questioned. For love was the answer. 
With Ammu by their side, holding them close. They smiled at the familiar song, now sung by the familiar voice. 
For now, they are home.
They are loved.  
 
"Omanathinkal Kidavo,
Nalla Komala Thamara Poovo,
Poovil Niranja Madhuvo,
Pari poornendu thande nilavo"

"Kadal kannan povam?"

I smile, And you hold my hands,  Hold.  Touch.  I hear people say, the lines found in your hands decide your destiny, Age-old myth?  A folktale or a legend?  Hands. Lines. Destiny.  I wonder, When we hold hands, does destiny also coincide? The lines on my hands, met yours  A boat shape,  All the way from the tip of my palm, an uneven line crossed yours Some missed, some dispersed, Do our hands, these lines really hold our future? Are we to move parallel Or to intersect ever?  With endless lines Like waves in an ocean Or stars in the sky, Do we ever meet?  Of flickering hope and unsaid words,  What a game of destiny  As the sun began to rise, Holding hands, I look up and ask, "Kadal kannan povam?"

Conspire.

Forget me today,  Forget me tomorrow, Forget me forever.  One night you told me,  Nobody can break us We are stardust, we are already broken. But you were wrong.  We are broken, but those tiny bits and pieces came together In the end.  Always.  We are a constellation, ourselves  Building home But the only difference is, I'm never a part of yours, Nor you mine Starcrossed are God's favourite, they say Then we were her most Parallel, like Earth and sky Mirror, like you and me Forget me today, Forget me tomorrow Forget me forever For the universe doesn't conspire for us.

The Rose

The Rose         This tale is sure to be old, But is never known. ~ You watched me wither away, Losing hope Locked me up in a glass Cuz you're afraid I would fall? You looked around for love,  But alas, you never looked at me; With each falling petal, you lost hope Yet, you never knew how hard I try for it to stop, Every. Single. Time. I was the cure for your curse, they say Yet, you look at me with sadness  You kept looking for love, And I;  Kept sacrifing my life so that you learn to love; Denied of freedom, Of light, Of happiness. Suffocating inside the glass, wanting to break away Yet, I caged myself. When the last petal falls, You'll love; When the last petal falls, I'll wither away, so that you can live; When the last petal falls, Will you know of my love? ~ For it wasn't Beauty, But the love of the Rose that saved the Beast.                                   ...
