The Peepal tree

The Peepal tree stood huge and proud,

Thousands visited it everyday, moving for and around.

Protecting them from outside, filling up their void;

The tree stood tall and sturdy, never to be destroyed!!!

Rahul and Seema were two lovers, lost in Paradise

They took shelter underneath it; they loved the tree premise.

Vowing never to go apart in their lives,

The tree listened to their sweet laughter, their painful cries.

They fought, they made love, they exchanged soles beneath the tree;

It laughed silently, it listened to their whispers,

Two souls could finally be eternally free!!

Then one day came when they married each other, 

They took refugee under the tree.

With nowhere to go and no one offering shelter;

They had decided to fight the world, together is what they were meant to be!

A large jeep came that night; with two people loaded with a gun;

They started shooting at the two, they were having fun!!

Two lovers died that day beneath it, still the tree stood tall

With pain deep inside it, is still managed not to fall.

The two innocent suffered and died, at what cost?

Humanity was indeed no more there, it was completely lost.

But still the tree stands tall and huge,

It still serves as a strong refuge.

The Peepal tree stands huge and proud,

Thousands visit it everyday, moving for and around.

Protecting them from outside, filling up their void;

The tree stands tall and sturdy, never to be destroyed!!!

Ghost

The ghost of Julia wanders around the society pool
The winds there howl slowly;
The vicinity is isolated and the water freezing cool.

She keeps on searching for friends, but in vain
Alas!! There is no one to share her pain.
She remembers her life, her youthful days
Her body, her smile that was the center of everyone's gaze.


She dreamt that someday a prince will come, only for her
He will hold her tightly and they will ride to someplace very far;
But destiny had something far dreadful to offer to her,
Two boys raped her forcefully,
She couldn't tell a word out of fear; she shivered but held her tear;

Life became too hard for her, after that day
There was no one who helped her, she was helpless with nothing to say!!!
She then decided to end her life, she jumped in the pool and got drowned
Justice got delayed and this action was frowned.
Although, no body had come to support her during her troubled days,
It's always easy to throw pebbles at some one in despair, while sipping coffee from coffee trays.


She killed both of them, she killed both who had made her weep;
Their death was painful; their death was creepy
The dead bodies laid in a pool of blood beneath the stairs, the stairs were large and steep.
People feared their life and vacated the premise;
No one was happy for such tragedy; but no one ever thought of her unplanned and unwanted demise.

She wanders since then, besides the serene and silent pool;
The vicinity is isolated and the water freezing cool.
The ghost of Julia wanders around the society pool
The winds there howl slowly;
The vicinity is isolated and the water freezing cool!
