Assassinating Beauty

And the skies were talking to me 
The stars were my acquaintances 
Lilies, roses all of them were there
It was a scary land for me, yet stunning  
I can hear the music, at least I think so 
Wind blowing, birds chirping 
May be it was clod may be there were snow?

Something took me off guard
A moving thing, a living thing
Wasn’t this place supposed to be my fantasy?
Only mine fantasy for me to live?
Why is someone here?
Now I could feet its presence
It’s moving fast, fast towards me
Scared, oh yes so scared I am

There it is, oh there she is??
Who is she?
Such a bright lady
And the most beautiful 
I’ve ever seen and may be I’ll ever see
Gorgeous simply gorgeous 
Oh! 
Did you see the eye on her?
My brain went crazy 
Asking all sorts of question
The answer I never will be able answer
The only thing I know is she beautiful 
And now she is moving towards me

Iaie..iaie… do I know you?
I say…
The most beautiful voice I ever heard says
I know you!
That is why I’m here
I’m here for a reason 
And I know that you are a reason

A reason? I exclaim?
What reason am I for such a beautiful lady to come visit me?
I looked at here pink lips while she was finding a way to 
Convince me to know that she was here for a reason indeed 
And the reason was “me”
 
Common lets go she said…
But…but you haven’t answered my question yet
Oh!!

A question I shall answer and answer I will
But the time it is not right now
For that you shall wait more

Then without a warning 
The softest hand that I ever touched were pressed against my cheeks
And the most beautiful lips I ever saw, pressed against my lips
 Higher and higher I found myself 
Searching for the reason 
And deeper and deeper she filled me in
I almost lost my vision

She took my hand in hers and started to fly
Far away for the farthest place I’ve ever been
She took me to the most beautiful place
My eyes had ever seen
And there we rested for sometime
No idea!! How long
We drank some wine, laughed a bit
And there was some romantic song
Couldn’t actually catch the line
I was busy being lost in here beautiful eyes
I wasn’t paying attention to the rhyme
But it sounded good, may it because 
She was there in front of me
Turning everything into a beautiful
And fading my soul within the 
Waves of treacherous love of beauty 
That she was aiming directly at me 
A false assumption of my love
For her and her betrayal for me 
That I couldn’t fore-see

Contd..
