A mazy forlorn

A sequel of my previous piece- 'A fowl play' expressing the emotional turbulence of the segregated nightingale and the offspring..

 

  

       Little one's dusk ended in a melody of forlorn-

"You left me with crows before I could open my eyes,

I believed I was one among them as I was a novice,

To all the love I could ever get, my voice laid a full-stop,

Days passed by desiring a new ray of hope!

 

I wonder if my beak resembles that of yours,

Have I any siblings pleading at somebody's doors?

Don't you wanna delight seeing this wretched one?

Do you doubt my voice if it could bring you any fun?

Peacocks proudly dance for my song on events,

Yet I have no one to celebrate my proud moments!

 

I swear would not demand a well furnished eyrie,

Golden cage didn't enhance my flying luxury,

Would just hide under your wings in the dark night;

Those forest beasts scare me out of my wits

 

Hope you still are in the same world as mine,

You'll need me,  your age is not that fine"!

   Her mother's dawn broke with a rueful tone-

"Dear one, my voice is too feeble to reach you,

My ears are not apt to feel your voice’s cue

 

I was inept to furnish you with your basic needs,

Hope you forgive me someday and my ruthless deeds

I wish I could sing lullabies to you every night,

When I'm not around, was scared if snakes would bite

 

Hope u brought a good name to your surrogate mother,

I saw you enjoying the power of your wings with others,

Every night my eyes watched you secretly from far,

Until one day I found out that you all shifted elsewhere!

 

I wish to see you just once before i close my eye,

If I take you off, hope your crow mother doesn't cry!"

 

  Their song was soothing to everyone who couldn't decode,

  Missing each other, every time their tears overflowed!
