Angel in a Dark Forest

                          

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

That Forest was travelling along with me,

By the side of that road,

But wasn’t in my notice.

 

Until…

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon that Dark Forest,

Then my eyes were surprised,

Coz it saw someone……

Playing by the woods of the Dark Forest.

It was an Angel.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon that Dark Forest,

My eyes wondered,

Watching a beauty playing…

Among the wilds of Dark Forest.

My mind wondered in chaos..

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon that Dark Forest,

Where I approach her..

Thought her to give a company..

But…

More I went near to her…

I Saw…

I saw Her feet was…

Hold by wild creepers. 

 

More I went near to her…

I Saw…

I saw She was playing..

With poisonous wild flowers.

 

More I went near to her…

I Saw…

I saw She was enjoying..

Unaware about the world She was in.

 

More I went near to her…

I saw…

I saw there were poisonous cunning snakes..

Approaching her silently.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon that Dark Forest,

Where I called her for the first time..

To warn her about the wildness of the nature.

 

But…

She smile at me and said “wildness will be in the wild”..

 

But was She little bordered..

For the wild creepers…

That were holding her to be a prey for the wilds..

She would not have been in trouble.

 

But was She little bordered..

For the poisonous flower…

Whose aroma was killing her beauty..

She would not have been in trouble.

 

It was just before

It was too late,

She realized the Wild World that She were in..

 

She threw those flowers..

But wasn’t able to flee from the Dark Forest..

Coz She was hold by a tree creeper which was strong..

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where I went to her,

And cut those wild creepers..

She was free and happy…

But not for so long.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Then came the Wildness of our dreams..

There came the pack of fox and hyenas…

Released by the Tree creeper…..

 

Oh... It was so Beautiful when She was happy…

But,

Tricks of nature have limitless boundary..

 

 I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where there was chaos again…

We both ran,

For our lives at sake...

But we both choose a different path..

Coz I had to lure...

Those packs of fox and hyenas away from her...

Then we were lost.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where I meet an Angel,

And lost my way...

I could see Her no more...

But just a glimpse of Her...

Through the woods of Dark Forest.

I was lost...

 

Only voices were there to hear...

Coz there was the Dark Forest.

She was afraid of Dark…

I whispered Her in the silence of the Dark Forest

And led Her way out of the Wild World.

 

Then there was me,

All alone in the core of the Dark Forest,

With packs of fox and hyenas at my back.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where I joined the pack of wolves,

A world that was not unfamiliar to me..

Coz I was there in past…

But a world that wasn’t meant for me,

Coz I was lost.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where I ran along those wolves…

And chased back those packs of fox and hyenas.

But I was lost,

I missed my Angel and my way to home.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where I was overwhelmed..

With thirst and hunger.

With the pack of wolves,

I drank the nectar out of wild fowers,

Ate wild fruits,

And smelled the wild weeds.

But I was lost,

I missed my Angel and my way to home.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where I realized...

I was far inside the Dark Forest...

With those packs of wolves.

 

 

 

Where I realize...

I was so lazy,

That I forgot the way to success,

I forgot that I used to fight...

Even for a slight hope for success...

And that’s where,

I was lost,

I missed my Angel and my way to home.

 

Where I realize...

About...

The lost Rhythm of my life.

Which I was never been trained for.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where I lost my way back…

So I decided to cross through the Dark Forest,

With my bleeding feet.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I came upon a Dark Forest,

Where I realized my purpose of life...

And worth of it to fight for...

Coz, I missed my Angel and my way to home.

 

I was just travelling by,

When I was crossing a Dark Forest,

Then I heard again,

The voice of my Angel.

At last, She was worried..

And was waiting for me

Just outside the Dark Forest.

 

Then It was easier for me..

I follow her voice,

Which led me out of the Forest.

We were happy again…

 

But,

But Tricks of Nature have limitless boundary...

 

Little we know about

The coming of a Dark Storm of,

Rules and traditions…

We would not have faced the trouble.

 

I was just happy again,

When I crossed a Dark Forest,

And meet my Angel again,

And found my way back home,

Where I was lost again by the chaos...

Of the Dark Storm.

 

But,

This time...

I am not sure enough to,

To save my Angel and destiny...

But,

I realized the worth of fighting...

Even for a slight hope of success…

Coz…

Tricks of Nature have limitless boundary.

 

Oh, it was so Beautiful when She was happy and everything was at peace.

I enjoyed this short

I enjoyed this short "fairytale". 

 

"I was just traveling by,

When I saw an angel in the dark,

She was playing so peacefully,

Among the wolves, Just like a lark,

She frolicked with spiders 

And skipped with the toads,

I thought maybe I'd rescue her 

And lighten her loads,

One look a bit closer,

My own face reflected in her eyes,

I saw the face of a wolf,

Could it be some disquise?"

Then the angel she guided me towards the forest's end,

She said, "only dark angels live here, sir,

The light angels live 'round the bend". 

 

 

Just a strange twist. Sometimes help is rejected. 

You can lead a horse to water but you cannot force them to drink.

Then again, sometimes people are exactly where the universe meant for them to be. We can never understand everything.

 

I like your poem/fairytale. Reminded me of Hansel and Gretel.

.......


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I have seen the movie of Hansel and Gretel but havent came upon its poem. Thanks for bringing it to my notice. Actuatly I was never a great fan of poetry but recently something came on mind that I thought, I should put it into some sort of words. Hope others may find interesting.
