A Tender Morning's Wish..!!!

What would I not give to get a woman, as beautiful as the morning sunshine
Someone who is as tender as a lily in spring; someone whose smile would make me forget the worries of the world;
A girl who wud fill up my heart with exuberant joy;
Some girl who wud look like Aurora herself, when she opened the blinds in the morning,
Ah !! They say it’s usually ur fondest, smallest prayers that remain wishes; and
What a wish I have..
Lying in bed, spreading myself out , and burying my face in the warmth she left on the cotton sheet,
Winking up at her as she stood opening the blinds, wrinkling my eyes into a smile watching her familiar silhouette against the wet sunshine of the morning;
I can feel the cotton in my fingers, can feel her scent on the bed, the warmth, her baby warmth, oh how I crave it, it was beyond words for me to tell her …
And I lie there watching the ceiling...And this silent picture shall become some dust eaten portrait in some long forgotten passage of my memory..And there it shall lie forgotten...Until her slender, long fingers shall pull open the blinds

The God's Leisures

And god looked down on his creations,
The mighty blue seas sheathed above by the blue hue of the skies, he stood on his balcony and breathed a sigh of relief
He had something to watch, finally, something to play with, the garden he filled with life, his life,
He had made them out of his own hands, every inch of them were his sweat and effort
He felt proud, he watched them in wonder, he was amazed by them, little beings among his other beings,
Through them he would feel, would know what it is to be, to be silly, to be noisy, to be happy, and to be pre-occupied
They led such curious lives, lil ant like things, intelligent to a fault, ignorant about everything, dependant, and yet surprisingly efficient, arrogant about that as well;
He looked upon them lovingly, full of interest, he wanted to watch how they were going to grapple with things around them, he was so taken in by them he even gave them the power, the only power that he had, the power of choice!!!And he watched, as he watched, they scurried around his garden, and from one came the need for two, and from two, they spawned billions, crawling like ants over their adversaries, and over the vast spaces of time..
They built their own rules, to govern their securities, they built houses, and churches to go back to their childhoods, and they built gardens and made sports so that they could nurture safely, as they could hunt.
They tried everything, rejected everything, they had everything, yet they denied themselves everything, they were free, and they continued to bind themselves with bondages,
They were given imagination, they used it so beautifully, that God himself was amazed at their creativity, but imagination was given to them so that they could sense his presence in the little things that were available to them, and slowly across generations they forgot their early lessons
They were arrogant now, believing they ran the show, while the big man watched in wonder, they were now much more an aggressive species, who had everything taken for granted, that he gave them
Taking for granted meant they ran amok with their freedom and their power over other creatures, after all they were the favored ones, he watched, as they plundered and exploited everything to their benefit even their own fellow species,
And as they grew in this way, they began to infest like rodents across the space he had made for them, breaking down everything he made for them to make spaces for themselves, they were now in a race for space, to survive from themselves, and they failed to see that they were breaking down the very branch they were sitting on, triggering far greater dangers for themselves.
Boundaries they set from fear began to be encroached, by their very kind, and what was once decided amicably, now became bones of contention, and in anger they turned against themselves, eating into each other as they moved forward
They spewed fire and destruction on everything they saw that belonged to someone else or that could be a threat to them, the love they had turned to fear, and the fear that arose bore hate in them, and the hate that grew blinded them in a frenzied rage,
Smiles turned to snarls, and as they tore up everything in their paths, suffering cries arose from all parts of the lil blue garden he had made for them so lovingly,
God watched on alarmed at his creations, like Satan’s minion, they marched on, selfish, short-sighted, and filled, to their snarling teeth with hate – for all.
He watched on as he mulled deeply – his creation of love, now were defile, one eyed creatures of hate…their souls were wretched now…there was no more beauty in them anymore…
Watching them filled him with a strange alarm and fear.
They had to go, they had to burn and perish, not one should survive lest this vile race be carried forward, the earth must lose their trace, nothing should ever resemble their likeness, they were evil now, and evil would destroy, all.
God was sad, he loved them, he loved them because of their ignorance, they knew nothing, they were cute to him, least of all they were his sweat and blood.
But they must go…even if he did not wash them away, they would destroy themselves, but they would take everything from his garden so that nothing could ever survive after them…
They were to be stopped.
Maybe it was the intelligence which made them what they became, maybe it was their choices that brought them here, and maybe they forgot to use their intelligence to exercise their greatest power, one which put them at par with him, their power of choice…
He mulled sadly as he took one final stare at the burning, pillaging and looting billions, he put his finger on the button, and let out one heavy sigh, he couldn’t believe they would be no more with their silly fights, and laughter… in a moment that would all be gone..
He closed his eyes as he pressed the button down...A tear dribbled down his cheek as everything blanked out and went silent..!
