PICTURE IT AND WRITE!
She was the darling of his eyes,
he loved her like a bemused lover
years they lived together
never went away
from each other…
fairy tale their life seemed,
happiness in full measure,
every man passing by
would get envy of such beautiful composure…
Jealous eyes reached them once
casting spell on their treasure,
one fateful night,
he went alone
never again he returned from his leisure…
Years later …
the story was written…
.
.
an accident had occured…
the lover got killed on the spot,
the girl was unaware of the trouble,
that very night a storm washed
the lanes of the small village,
the young girl got drenched
and got carried away for miles …
with the flooded waters…
.
.
.
Today a colourful butterfly
rests in peace
and dwells in his dried eyes…forever

what a hollow story.
Am I supposed to be relieved that the butterfly was there, in his place? Supposed to bring solace to thier loss?
Still makes me feel sad.
So well written, Soumyav.
Thank you dear.sometimes such endings leave open ended conclusions.. we remain happy with whatever we want to assume ! As if not stating the climax ,gives reader the freedom to have one of his own!
I completely understand that. I try to write like that, as well. Leave it up for the readers interpretation.
I see that in song writting a lot.
Good to see you got involved with the story! 🙂
Tragedy but love finds a way to survive.
very true! and yes it did find its way!
A tight read, Soumyav. I feel for this couple–such a sad fate did they suffer. I love how you ended the piece with the butterfly being the interesting puzzle. I like what comes to my mind.
Nice to know Uzo you enjoyed the climax and also that you could get connected with the story of the butterfly there!
