I'd write you an ocean
Green-blue
Gentle waves
watched over by the sky
Purple-black
I’d write you laughter
Yellow-orange
A song full of happy clichés
I’d write you one of those too.
I’d write you a fairy tale
With ice-cream rivers
And chocolate houses
I’d write of magic and granted wishes
Slain dragons, princes and midnight kisses
Yes, I would.
I would write of happy endings
And ever afters.
I’d write you a journey.
Winding through mountains
Covered with moss and flowers
Mist and snow
I’d write of Time
Waiting by the side of an unpaved road
Taking you along
Keeping you company.
You must believe
Don’t you?
That if I held the pen of fate,
I'd write you a life of glory.
I'd write you a different love.
I'd write you a different story.

This is so so good. Thanks for sending the post to me.. thoroughly loved the end. The last three lines may possibly be the most touching thing you've written. actually, the saddest and yet most hopeful three lines you've written.
I hold you in awe for having written this before me. And I pray life uses its golden pen to write out your story.
words are failing me right now :)
@Ishita: The smile does it... :)

@Psmith: Hey.. nice to see you here after an appropriate-to-miss-you long time.... thanks a lot for the comment.. this one is for mum :)

Superb...just superb..just just superb...like i cant pick which lines i liked...the whole thing is outstanding...bravo girl :*
Rarely have I read something so simple and yet so lucid. And seldom have I come across musings, so captivating, that I could nothing else but read on..
You write like you paint..dreamlike, of another world.
@Vinay/rightergeorge/Pooja/Madness all over: Thank you so much for liking the post.. You know the last line is the one that came to me first...is it easier to work out a story if u know how it's going to end? :)
this is so so beautiful niv. so lovely. your words paint such a perfect picture, yet when they dry, the cracks tell a different story- this is your best...and only fitting that it's for your mum. my heart is still rushing and gushing!
errr...just realised that this id bears no name- so, well, so much for anonymity- anshumani :)
@41 pairs of shoes: Like i said the chappals did give you away :) Thanks a lot for all the wonderful things you have said about this post.. and more importantly.. do u really have 41 pairs of shoes? if yes, i'm suitably jealous.. hehe
