Blue Angel - Chapter 6

Previous Story

Happily whistled and appreciating myself for my detective work, I entered Jayarams home. Mrs.Jayaram received me with morning coffee and a broad smile. As I was sipping my share of coffee, fragrance of jasmine filled the room. Thought to myself Sathya would be getting ready for his lovers birthday party. He had invited me the previous day itself.

Mr.Jayaram came in, his forehead covered with sandal and vermillion.

He eagerly queried, “Have you found the culprit Satish?”

I smiled at him. “If it was your prayer today morning, God had answered your prayer Sir.”

He jumped out in excitement, “Who is he? I don’t even want to punish him, if he would handover to me the jewels safely.”

I gave a puzzled look, “Is it true Sir, I thought of asking pardon on behalf of the thief from you.”

“Yes Satish, who is he can I know the details?”

By this time Sathya and Mrs.Jayaram too had come to the drawing-room. They were eagerly waiting to know about the theft.

“Yeah I am going to tell you everything. I know you are all eagerly waiting to see this mysterious thief. He is a person well-known to you. One among your friends is the culprit.

Don’t thing he has betrayed you Sir, he took it just to wear and glimpse it, but due to circumstances he couldn’t return it back. If you promise to pardon him, I would introduce him or else he will remain a mystery forever.”

Jayaram said, “Thanks a lot Satish. I never thought, it would be possible to trace down the jewels. I don’t want to see any of my friends as a culprit. Maybe they would have done it accidentally, but once named as thief, it will be a black spot on them. Hand over the jewels to me. Let the culprit remain a mystery.”

Moved by his talk “Varun would be bringing the jewels to your office in an hour Sir.”

Sathya asked, “How did he steal from the closed room Sir. At least will you say about it.”

“Sathya, If I have to narrate it, you will easily find his name too.”

Will be Continued....

Ever high/deep

Man progressively exploring universe

Reaching greater undreamt heights

Unsatisfied, desires to discover further

Anticipates going ever higher

Once accomplished, dreams ever higher

Never ever his greediness terminates.

*

Man mined earth going underneath

Seized water, fuel, gems, et cetera

Unsatisfied, desires to excavate further

Anticipates going ever deeper

Once accomplished, dreams ever deeper

*

Aiming either up or down

Man tries to uncover mysteries

Seeking forever to peek more

Just as mother trains her child

Through trials and errors

God smiles, making a giant leap

For every single human move

Challenging curious minds

To discover more via ups and downs

Ups and Downs

Friends and Foes far and wide

Smiles and frowns all over

Darkness and radiance around me

Joys and Sorrows the world over

Countless duos fleeting my life trail

Each with their own ups and downs

*

Every pair educated me on a life facet

Friends following showing love and care

Twists into foes abruptly showing betrayal

Smile brought forth scores of steadfast friends

Frown covered face kept my kith and kin at bay

Darkness proved me luminescence’s worthiness

Radiance glared blinding my eyes

Joys, I wasn’t able to see anyone

Sorrows, all were seeing me pitifully

*

Each couple visited my life at least once

One partner showed me all ups in life

I wasn’t aware there is a steep slope

Down refined me removing my pride

Showing me reality, preparing to meet next up

At times couples had a get-together in my life

Rejoicing, screaming, crying, and troubling.

Emotions expressed but never parted

*

More paradoxically tied couples

Passed my life now and then

Positive and negatives fused together

Decorating my life with colorful lights

Talking to me each day, their offspring’s

Preparing to face more tough couples

In my long journey of life

Soul vs Ghoul

Human race ought to spin on his order

None around him with a bit of reasoning

People dance for his tune being his slave

Burning others happiness for his delight

Sadistic ghoul thought prevailing earth.

*

Someone on weaker side waiting to cross road

Peeks on opposite stronger side finding faults

Becomes happy finding they are inferior to him

Never ever knows the genuine stronger side

*

Being on stronger side never turns back

Saturated with his achievements and belongings

Bored of luxuries turns back jealously

Torturing the weaker destroying his happiness

*

Few pure contended souls, on both sides

Helping each other filling the trenches

On the opposites, living balanced life

Standing in the middle of the road

Bearing the criticism traffic from ghouls

------ Shalini Samuel

Festive heaven

Heaven in festive mood;

Angels in their hectic schedule,

Gave an electrifying smile,

Plucking eyesight’s of few.

A momentary glance

Took away one sense,

Is beauty so dangerous?

*

Out of fear turned my eyes away

Few Angels cutely dressed

Moving things here and there

Cleaning every nook and corner

Terrible noise from tender hands

Shocked I descend down, earth

Few green trees burning brightly

*

Disheartened fell down on the ground

There was a sudden down pour

Cooling earth filling every trench

Glanced heaven from beneath

Angels pouring gallons of water

Cleaning heavenly corridors

*

Uncommon sight these days,

Possibly angels would have started,

Utilizing advanced vacuum cleaners,

Accumulating water for future

-----Shalini Samuel

Poetic Deliverance

Thoughts pouring down like river

Synchronized by a conduit, pointer

Gathers in a piece of paper

Quenching the thirst of reader

*

An idea strikes his adoring soul

Sculpting words from his heart

And shooting out fresh lines

Resulting in an eternal poem

*

Memorable evergreen fresh pages

Turning one by one buds words

Turning all over again blooms lines

Delivering splendid poems with life

*

Every accident a poetic incident

Happiness and grief a boon

Transforms it into undying lines

Striking the hearts of people

*

Father’s appearance rarely known

His admirable child rarely forgotten

Silently revolutionizes world

Speaking through his sword
