An evil witch casted a spell on an angel
that spell perished her from heaven
cursed her to wander in loveless lands
her body became so deformed that
whenever she reached out her hand
for love, every one shrank back with fear.
Her eyes forever brimmed with tear
for she ached so much for the love
which she used to share with her sisters
back in the glory days in heaven.
Though she yearned for them to be back
a part of her heart was slowly giving away.
One dark night she saved a man from
the clutches of sure death, he clung
to her like a small child she guided him
to morning, knowing he will throw away
the hand when he sees her in the day
the day came and the day went to her wonder.
When nothing changed she asked her friend
why is he not going away after seeing how
deformed she is, the man laughed out loud
and said, my angel your love brims in your
eyes, have seen so many women never
that spell perished her from heaven
cursed her to wander in loveless lands
her body became so deformed that
whenever she reached out her hand
for love, every one shrank back with fear.
Her eyes forever brimmed with tear
for she ached so much for the love
which she used to share with her sisters
back in the glory days in heaven.
Though she yearned for them to be back
a part of her heart was slowly giving away.
One dark night she saved a man from
the clutches of sure death, he clung

the hand when he sees her in the day

When nothing changed she asked her friend
why is he not going away after seeing how
deformed she is, the man laughed out loud
and said, my angel your love brims in your
eyes, have seen so many women never
seen such divine eyes, I will stay forever.
Depriving a person from love is one of the heinous of crimes. But it was good to read that the angel found someone who loves her for whatever she was.
ReplyDeletedear zakeer,
ReplyDeletewhen i was a child i have read a legendary novel, hunchback of notredamus, in that novel a truly ugly guy fell in love with a dazzling beauty, who was in love with a handsome soldier. then things went wrong and the girl was falsely framed for a charge which caused her death, when her skeleton was discovered it was seen that the guy who loved her starved himself to death with her body.
at that age i was barely a child i cried a bucket, then i felt immense pity for the girl, which i still do that she lost such a divine love. i dont blame her, but from that day onward i promised myself i will never judge a person by his/her outer covering :)
i often think about that story, this poem came as an answer for that heart breaking story.
best wishes,
