Phoenix

I lie awake
in the midnight
looking at the flames
the Phoenix is burning ....

It started with the greatest passion
to fly high
above all the hurdles
to reach beyond sky
and win over the cold sun ....

but it burnt
audacity of passion
burnt by the atrocities of coldness

I lie awake
ashes are falling
but the zeal is there
Phoenix will rise again ....

That one word !!!

"Why do people do something wrong, and say 'that one word' and think everything would be fine."

Innocently she asked. I stood silent, with no words to say. She stood there, looking at me. She was totally calm and composed but her eyes asking for an answer. Why do u do this ? Why can't you see things, the way I see ? She was disappointed. Again ... But she was standing there, besides me. She always stand there, no matter what I did. I looked at her, but no words to speak ...

She always knew what I wanted to say. She looked into my eyes, I closed mine. She was again disappointed but this time she lifted her hands. I was embraced by her arms. I knew she knows what to do. She hugged me tightly. Forgiving every pain I gave to her, only she knew that I was feeling pain. I was crying in her arms and 'that one word' came out from my mouth. "SORRY".
