Voyage To the Destiny

Deep in the Silent darks, wandering and swaying around I was, once content with life full and concern less. None to lad me with the burdens of responsibilities, nor someone to share my loneliness. Life held for me little surprises, and even fewer excitements in the monotonous chores. On one such dark expeditions, was i broke off my usual routine when I met her... Imperfect she was... And also intruding and irritating.. But I too was not more perfect, and longed to give her company and also, to have her presence. She was always there- Sometimes distracting and some others even annoying- Pricking and pinching and stinging me now and then. I did it all- Soothing her and cajoling, as she Screamed and chided me. Eventually, and gradual it was, she too showed a change- Sublimed was she and also softened My love and patience blooming and bearing fruits, She glowed brightly with strong sensuality and delicate frailness. A gift she was... Although in disguise!! I cherished her beauty and form, with all the reverence I could muster... I loved her too much to leave, making the inevitable parting even more impossible... She vanished suddenly as she had once appeared.. As a pearl, most ditinguished and unique... Abandoning me there... A deserted oyster to die In the still waters of unending depths..
