LEFT TO THE BEASTS………..


One day a stranger,
tall, hairy and burly he was,
made a frightening,
appearance before her,
from nowhere.
Upon glancing his,
commanding eyes,
left her speechless, numb-
and dumb-founded,
held her tender hand,
within his iron-fist,
gestured to walk along with him.
Like a lamb,
accompanying the abattoir,
resisting her,
earnest desire to raise a hue and cry,
thus inviting her neighbours’ attention,
with her throats gone dry,
eyes gone wide without drops of-
tears springing forth,
she was left with no-
option, but to walk along with the tall, hairy,
burly man with commanding
eyes holding her soft hand tightly
within his iron-fist.
The journey which began,
in the morning along the ,
roads and bridges, deserts,
steep hills, towns and,
cities, entered a dark thick forest,
with the descending of the night,
over the thick forest.
The tall, burly stranger,  
let loose his hand,
bestowing her a slight relief,
which was otherwise crushed,
thrust his commanding eyes at her,
which were shining and fearsome.
Fearless and dare-devil he was
seemed like
the dusky, thick forest was his
permanent abode,
without uttering anything to her,
melted into thick darkness,
of the forest,
leaving her rooted there,
like an orphan.
She could hear the
roars of wild beasts,
lions, leopards, tigers ,
elephants, wolves,
foxes howling,
blood-hounds barking,
owls hooting,
unending chirping of,
the crickets
the footsteps of unknown being,s
trampling down the,
leaves, branches, fruits,
which lay strewn all around,
all drove her mad with fear,
she fell down with a thud,
leaving herself to-
be trampled upon ,
and be a prey to the wild beasts….
which would certainly
prey on her……..
