Night At the Rivers Cottage..

Warm in the month of May that Summer,

Unseasonal Rains, along with Thunder..
Driving my Sedan at the speed of 110;
I crossed Rivers Highway, the next second..

That is when my car crashed,
In the middle of the road..
The board, in front of me read-
"Way ahead is temporarily closed.."

Perplexed, I turned aside..
And saw a ray of light..
"Rivers Cottage"-written there,
It attracted my sight!

Taking my coat,
I headed towards the slope..
Crackling in my mind-
A sense of ray and hope..

A cottage, it claimed to be..
But I saw a crowd of few..
Handing me the keys of the room;
They greeted me- Welcome, Mr. Andrew!

Heading towards Room 160,
I ordered my Wine..
That is when I saw her..
With a face so divine!

Lady in Red..
She looked as sensuous as ever..
I felt like caging her in my heart;
Now and Forever..

Suddenly, the next moment..
She was out of my sight,
I could locate her nowhere..
Neither left..Nor right!

I entered my room,
And closed the door..
Left the tap open-
For the water to pour!

Andrew! -Someone called my name..
And it got me shocked..
How can she be here?
When I kept the door locked!

She came close to me..
And I lost my sanity;
I forgot what mattered to me..
My practicality or her Femininity?

Being as irresistible as ever..
She came more closer to me,
Pulling my face near hers..
She said to me-

"Run away from here"-
Saying this she disappeared..

And trembling, I was..
For,I didn't have any answer..
To my questions and fear!

Running down the staircase,
I approached towards the door..
Chained, I found it was..

And there was blood on the floor..


Stumbling, I turned around..
And saw Mr. Ziano..
The person, who welcomed me here..
Just one hour ago..

Where are you going?
He questioned me..
"Just checking out"- I said to him,
This is not where I'm supposed to be..

Rage on his face..
He told something to me..
You came at your own will,
And no there's no scope of any plea..!

I want to leave-
I repeated again..
He said- "Now when you're one of us,
Then how can you any longer, live in the world of men?"

Stunned, I had my eye sight..
Down on the floor,
Lay there, my corpse..
Covered in Blood and Gore..

I desired for a life...
Full of Love and Endeavor..
But now in this Rivers Cottage,
Remained my soul- Trapped Forever.. ||

{P.S.- This one came out from my love and inquisitiveness for the song "Hotel California" by the legendary band- Eagles! I wish they made a sequel to the song.. which just ends on the note "you can never leave".. So I framed up this one.. with my conception of the plot :) |
