Lost Fairy

Lost Fairy

Md. Rakibul Islam

I was walking on a lone and dark  path
knew not exactly the destination.
Piercing darkness brooding over me like
an all devouring monster.
It seemed like an eternal journey!
I was tired of  walking,
with no one to accompany.

Suddenly, I saw a beacon of light coming  from the western sky,
 looming  large as it came nearer.
 Eyes got dazzled by the flash of light,
 senses became numb by the  resonance.
I was like a dumb statue
and got  faint..

Returning in consciousness,
I saw a white robed girl sitting beside me.
Her body was like the ocean foam,
eyes were crystal clear, face was like glittering diamond.
She looked like a new born babe,
killing  me with her enchanting gaze.
I asked her, “I am a wanton boy, will you come with me? ”
She said, “I am a lost fairy, I am here for a moment ,
how can I go with you? ”
I  cried saying, “please stay”
She replied, “I am beyond your reach”.

She  ascended waving her hands
in the seventh sky,
leaving me in lone and dark world,
 in intolerable torment,
 with the thought
that some  passions can never be fulfilled.
