Heavens Bleeding

I had adopted Heaven as my Home.
It is the purest manifestation of Paradise sounded cliche'
I wanted to get lost among the flower beds
I did not try to tempt the Fates
I did not bite the forbidden Fruit
I also practised a more forgiving doctrine of my Dharma

But that day I caught a beautiful wave
A picture which the Fates never forgave
Everybody wanted to party away into the wee hours
To forgive the sadness that the hapless soul harbours

And Then came the parcel bombs
Gates of Hell were thrown Open
My Blissful state has vanished

I am now swimming into the inferno
There is fire everywhere I know
The skin was melting from my arms
Death was coming everywhere without qualms

I shouted myself hoarse
Last moments of my life slowly scripting their course
My beautiful friend had ridden up the Wave
A pristine smile was all she gave

The Pariahs sounded the knell
She too was destined to die in Hell
I am but able-bodied ,holding on to her love for life
Waiting for that Dawn when the fanatics will end this strife

There seems to be no escape from this Hatred
Someone out there believes Vengeance is sacred
My beautiful paradise has been bombed out of existence.
Revenge in the name of Allah is their Pretence

I am still riding high on that Beautiful wave
Cleaning the hatred which God never gave
Love and Tolerance,the fanatics have started Abjuring
The beautiful horizon is far because my Heavens are Bleeding
