Her Ignorance and a Colourful Butterfly- Sanzeda S Khan

Her Ignorance and a Colourful Butterfly 🦋

Waited on the desolate sandy shore with a bunch of intoxicated white lilies, The snowy dew was splashing on the serene petals relentlessly.

My intuitive self Infused with the mixed aroma of flowers and salt water from the turbulent ocean, I waited and waited with a bunch of sweet smelt white lilies silently.

The silky lace of fancy attire fluttered in the wet air, Her hair was flowing and shining by the crimson glow of the setting sun, I saw the last wave of the sea in her deep blue eyes.

In the blink of an eye, her arrogant form disappeared into the turquoise sand And her translucent footprints seemingly swallowed by the sea water while the sun was falling apart beyond my sight, Everything disappeared wordlessly like a mirage in the vast horizon.

I invariably failed to catch a colorful butterfly in my garden The thorny branches pricked my trembling fingers miserably I sensed a poisonous liquor run through my veins over and over.

With my aesthetic poised I walk on the path of immaculateness mutely carrying a hundred million bunches of sweet fragrant flowers,

Her divine existence swims in the pond of my subconscious mind recurrently, And her invisible self is a colorful butterfly in my garden.
