Alone in Heaven -Act 2

12 01 2007

(..continued from yesterday)

Roll5.Get set go. Seven bamboos and criss cross threads. The power connection came from the shack. See thru curtains were hanged and fastened randomly. Left half loose so they could sway in with the wind. Bamboo ball lanterns of various shapes, which had been picked from the road side vendors, were tied around for faded lights. 

As oozes of feni, filled up the jar,On a shack by the bay, Santana played his guitar,To the music in the air, the meshes danced by,The Floor became sand and roof became sky. 

Slowly the crowd pulled in,He counted standing by the door.He looked at his sack as they all hit the floor.

The night intoxicated everyone. The sensation came mixed with the Feni, the exhaustion of the day and the happiness to be free. He joined the merry. The boozing and dance.  They danced in the moonlight,As the drunkenness leached deep.He had killed his loneliness in heaven,And then they all went to sleep. 

He opened his sack and waited for the winds to blow strong. He waited until the winds came to greet him. And then he let out the petals packed in the sack towards the sea. The air filled with this scent, will reach her today. In those petals, he sends his gift.As he blew a kiss he whispered.  

“Happy birthday my dear, in my heart you survive.How would you be at twenty five, if you were alive?”

Knowing only the winds will answer back.

I hope there is an Act-3 where you depict what happened when she was there with him! This is just too beautiful to end like this.

I will wait for Act – 3 to be written.

Depicting their times together only takes the charm off that is there in intrigue………sometimes moments just need to float in the air,they are not meant to be plucked…..

Moments are akin to dewdrops on leaves in a fresh misty morning, savour them till they are there for once the rays of the sun break through the mist moments like dewdrops will vanish…….but there will always be a hope of new misty mornings and even beautiful moments…………….
