the power of love

She lies awake thinking of her love...the rain drops caressing her face, as the stars are tempted to reach out & touch her.
She gazes into the open expanse wondering about the play of destiny---the destiny which makes her always yearn for a love so out of reach that her expectations almost seems juvenile..
"why does she keep testing fate all the time? why cant she wish for something simple?" she hears the trees whispering as the amused wind lashes out waves of laughter at them.

She has done it again--
given her heart to the impossible..
prepared herself for the inevitable..
learnt to fight the unacceptable...
& ultimately agreed to reason and submit to her stubborn conscience which simply refuses to let go.

She lies awake thinking of what lies ahead..fully aware of the forces of nature chiding her, warning her of the storm that is just around the corner, capable of shattering her into a million pieces.

Smiling at the skies, "i care not of the days to come" she responds, "ive fallen in love with the night, this time...ive fallen in love with the night!!"


As the hours pass by, the rain stops singing, but her soul continues to hum the tune of love..
the trees stop swaying, but her heart continues to dance to the rhythm of delight.
the wind stops blowing, but her mind continues to lash out visions of happy memories.
the stars stop shining, but her eyes continue to twinkle in anticipation of the future

and when the new dawn arises, the first rays of the morning sun tap gently on the window pane, only to see a half sleepy lover, peeping from behind a blanket of dreams, silently hoping, for the unseen, untold, unexpressed and yet, much awaited moment...the moment when the night would prove the world wrong and her love would triumph!!



disclaimer---this is purely a work of fiction inspired by the rains, i guess...
the author is otherwise mostly a skeptic at heart!! ;)
