The Final Showdown.. CAS!!

Start of a new era.. end of one..

Situation will change the time,
with Catherine's return.

Going back in time..in 1912
In that huge ocean liner,
Where Catherine, Alex and Shane dwelt!

For reaching Philadelphia,
They boarded the Steam..
Little did she know
For her, it would be the end of her dream..

Alexander, with gloomy eyes..
Came near her..
"What makes you so unhappy?"-
He asked her with fear..

How could she marry him?
When she loved Shane..
Harder than anything it was..
For her to pretend!

Alex knew what he had to do..
Preventing things getting worse..
Had to make Shane witness-
The Oblivion's Curse..

In that moonless night of April Fifteenth;
Waiting for Shane to come on B deck..
Alex stood patiently..
Longing for the interim!

Shane came by,
The bullet pierced his chest..
Seemed like Cathy's life came to an end,
With no answer to her Quest!

For the next moment,
The ambience was just a lull..
Nothing else could be heard
Except for the melancholy of the Sea Gull!

Sitting broken, She remembered her own words..
Time won't change the situation..
But situation shall change the time-

Is all she heard!

The liner broke to pieces and started sinking..
Thus, a journey ending..
With no deceiving..

Alex's eyes searched for her..
At the end of a burden..

Something was awaiting him..
In no form of a Guerdon!

Unrecognized and fallen..
She went deep under the ocean..
Wearing that elegant white gown,
With love and devotion..

Her green eyes, wide open..
She pictured her beloved's memory..
No longer she had to feel,
The human emotions- of Rage and Agony!

Just a few seconds more..
And the time passed by..
She slowly closed her eyes forever..
And the shore was greeted by a tide- so high!

Years passed by..
Seasons came and went..
Nobody could yet fathom-

The Atlantic's grief and lament..

She would come again,

And complete her story..
Hath her beloved..
And win her glory!

Avenging the devil..
The ending of her pain..
But would in every era,
ALEX still stand..

Between Catherine and Shane?

Story of an Obsessed Lover..

On a bright moonlit night
In the castle of Vincent Valley,
Edwin waited for his longing to end..
But no longer to himself, could he pretend..

The love of his life was going to be someone else's..
Hardly could he do anything,
For he didn't have the chances..

For once, he just wanted to see her, feel her..and make her his;
But his mistress was someone,
whom he could never land in displease..

But want taking over will, he sent his message to her..
One moment of happiness..
And the rest to suffer!

Confident, he was that his mistress would come..
Getting his note, Cicilia's body went numb..

Covered in a cloak, she departed for the castle..
Driving away everything..
That seemed like a hassle.

Edwin's heart counted the seconds..
When he felt the horse cart hault..
And felt her presence..

In front of him, stood cicilia- his mistress..
Suddenly he felt like he was out of all the distress..

Beautiful,she looked..with her hair touching her feet;
Restless, he welcomed her..
Gently with a kiss..

Holding her waist,he said in her ear-
"You're only mine and you don't have to fear.."

Her smile suddenly changed.. into pain..
When he wrapped her long hair, round her neck..

Cried she in terror,to save herself;
She fell down the floor..
As the clock striked twelve!

Lifeless and cold-
She lay on the ground..

Edwin's purpose served..
For, she was eternally his..
With NO ONE else around..

Richard- Whom I never met..

Standing in the middle of the road,
Waiting for someone to come
To save me from the outer world,
The existence that felt so numb..

Suddenly I heard voices.. all around me,
"Save her!" -Someone shouted, 
And it seemed like a plea,

That is when he held me
And caught me from falling..
Something felt so surreal.. 
Yet so appalling!

Who are you? - 
I asked him in silence..
"Richard"- he answered,
I forgot the supernatural and science..

"Who are you talking to?"-
Asked Norah, my friend..
In a fraction of second, 
I couldn't find Richard till the end..

Perplexed with myself, 
I went back home..
Richard in my thoughts, 
Walking on the deserted roads of Rome.

The bright sun shining ,
I couldn't believe my eyes..
He was in front of me-

My heart elated in surprise..

"I love you"- he said to me,
And in him.. I was lost;
He was certainly real..
But this is not what the mirror thought!

I couldn't see him anywhere..
My soul cried for him..
Fighting a battle with myself..
Between reality and dream..

Walking in the forest,
I fell hitting a tree..
Angry I was with myself, 
Because of everything that was happening with me..

I could not get up, 
I had badly hurt my toe..
But once again the pain was gone..
When I saw his hazel eyes' glow!

Taking me in his arms,
He walked in course of the river's flow..
I begged him this time-
Please don't go!

Placing me on the ground,
He softly said to me-
"I'll never leave you.. 
..Just trust me.."

Hearing this, I smiled with joy
As it felt like a victory..

But it all vanished in a second,
When I found..
I was standing in a cemetery..

He was no more around me ..
Once again..

Richard Vane- the grave said,
"1981- 2010"


Stone like a statue, 
I stepped out of the gate..
Maybe Richard was someone-
Whom I never met.. ||
