Confession by a heart.
Eyes closed
I lay on my back,
Thinking of God.
I longed for a wish from him
And as I was meditating
A bight light flashed in front of my eyes.
Somewhere from the sky
Like a bright shining star.
All I could see was light, soothing and clear.
I woke up and started wondering what the wonder was.
And then I heard a sweet voice.
"So son...I'm in a good mood today
And I wish to grant you a wish...Ask whatever you want.
I was dumbstuck.
I couldn't believe my eyes. And my ears.
I thought of wealth, I thougt of health, of longivity, of fame.
And then it struck me.
I always had this desire.
My desire to know more of the world, more of the people,
to read their mind and explore their heart.
So I said" God, I want to know the heart of the person I'm interested in.
God replied " So be it son. Whenever you want to know someone, ask for his heart
and keep it close to your ears. You'll know what he really is.
As soon as it finishes, it'll go back to the person.
And don't let your hand damage the heart, else you'll be deprived of your wish".
And the holy light disappeared in thin air.
I got up startled, impatience drove me to test my precious wish.
And to begin with, I wished to know what my love had in store for me .
Though skeptical, I just wanted to give it a try.
I was reluctant, but then I gathered some courage and wished for my love's heart
And there I was, holding a very beautiful red organ in my hand.
A unique piece it was, In darkness it looked light coloured, but in light it seemed darker.
Inconsistent? Yeah.
Carefully, I brought it close to my ears.
And I said "Speak out my sweet heart".
To my surprise it spoke.
And out came the words, it was a revelation of sorts!
"I know you'll hate me when I'm over darling" It spoke.
But life is like that. I was lonely, insecure, so I looked out for someone who could give me some company.
I too could few words of love, flirt and freak around and know what this love is all about.
Hold hands, kiss and hug, you know...just to experience the feeling of romance.
But there is more to life tahn romance.
Ambition, money, status, luxury.
And only a settled person with a secure futute can be my life partner.
Rest everything is time pass
Now, tell me, is there any harm in dreaming big."
Tears rolled, eyes reddened, lips shivering,
I crushed that heart but even though I tried to damage it,
it disappeared and I lost my wish.
