The Pearl and The Pebble

Updated: Aug 24, 2021

A  love that is a history intertwining a pearl and a pebble, a love that once found, yet lost as the waves of the ocean pulls it in its depths. Seasons past, but I still search for you.

..........

Listen heartless world! Listen to my hopeless cry: Why do people judge? Are there price tags attached to our hearts?

..........

Are pearls valuable than love? The queen once told me:” Do not be blinded by the cry of the heart Weigh the man’s pocket if it jingles! It is up to us to choose our fate!”

..........

So do we control fate? Or are we merely puppets controlled by a greater hand? Aren't we just the simple players of a game? Like a game of chess that is played by God?

..........

Girls would giggle as they read a love story. They are branded foolish for dreaming Hoping that their lives would be like the stories written in the pages of a book, to be rescued by a brave knight or to be carried in the arms of a handsome prince

..........

Young lasses were told to forget such nonsense, and open their eyes and realize that it might not happen. For in the real world happy endings seldom come true. And I was one of them…

..........

Unable to resist the strong whirlpools of fate, we were drawn to each other’s arms… In you I found that love is more valuable than any pearl, and truth is more passionate than fiction

Only few people understand why a pearl would mingle with the pebbles We were separated by the raging waves, Our love was tossed and tumbled But we bravely swam the angry seas to be together.

..........

As a pearl, people see me as a pillar of strength But in the shadows of the night, I am truly weak and easily scared, and I often cry by the cruelty of the world.

..........

You wrapped your arms around me and you pulled me close You whispered in my ear “ No one’s perfect.” I felt myself shatter inside as I said “Is it okay for me to cry even just a little?”

I am a coward that often fakes a brave facade In truth, I easily crumble. I am scared to open my shell, and take that one step that would set me free.

..........

It was you who made me learn what life meant It was you who colored those dark days, and it was you who gave me the strength to face those who ridiculed our love…

And when I finally had the courage and took that step, it was already too late, The currents had overpowered us, and God had taken you to the angels of the sea…

..........

Now even in the cold breeze of the night, even I can’t see you, I strive to be with you once again. How cruel is fate? I was once warm in your arms, but now I shiver with the cold.

..........

I oppose the idea that we make our fate. Because people often question, why the pearl fell in love with a pebble, when a pearl and a pearl looks so much better.

..........

The winds, the waters and the stones control a person’s fate And we are the sailors being tossed by the tides My only wish is that I could have been a better captain and was able to make that leap of fate.

In life and in death we will be together eternally…
