Let me tell you a love story an old and told one,
It was told so many times that it seems untold now.
A story of a queen charming as dew drop on rose petal
Falling in love to a king as strong as her charm, stupid she
was
As she fell in love with the strength not knowing the man.
And so the story goes, and they get married in a dark cold
room
The king and queen make love every night in dark.
As if their love is an undeveloped negative scared of light.
And then one day, by chance, when the king happy, feeling
her
In his heart and everywhere, danced and danced like a mad
man
And that day by same chance the queen saw him the first time
in horror
How can my love be so ugly, so deformed and twisted, so
perfect in dark
But bone chilling in the day light, she thought and left him
in disgust.
From that day the king, strong as a rock did not move, and
played a cord
As if to immerse the curse that he was born with liberating
the soul from that.
Day and night the music played and poured like a hot poison
in the ears
Of the queen, day and night she hated her love more so, just
to find one morning
There was no hate left to give, it was love then, as if the
pyre of hate had burnt out.
And she saw the love and ran to him as she knew that was how
the story should end.
Told so many times that I believed that this would be true
in this cold dark real world too.
I walked with my chest open with the treasures cluttering
all over me in pride.
But the story I just told you have been told so many times
now that it’s untold
And so no one looked at my chest, instead saw me in my eyes
in horror and hence
I have lived with my curse all my life, and I know no music
to break the curse today.
Shapmochon! Yes we know not how to break the curse. But that very curse strengthens the resolve to walk on.
