Free at last




Due to be married to the Dark Prince Camulus , Eshara belonged to a royalty of god and goddesses that ruled the sea and land of Kingdom Earth. She was always wary of her father, King Teutates who has been given dominion over the coastal population and sea creatures, for being part of the scheme of non intervening in the affairs of humans despite numerous wars and famine, tribal rivalry, jealousy, rebellion, and lately the killing of each others’ children that threaten to wipe civilization from the face of this world. She had always supported her father’s decisions with pride but sometimes, they stood on the verge of apathy to the plights of the people, almost to the point of cruel silence.
One day, in the quiet of dawn,as she was looking down at the fishing village of Inuit, a sweet sorrowful music from a lute being played by a lonely sea hunter captivated her. Heartstriken for the people of the war torn country and desirous to know the man better, she tore herself from her lofty abode, and made the floor of the ocean her permanent home. Due to her immortality, she could only live as a mermaid (she was worshipped by the sea creatures as a goddess), but that was enough to get her near to the people that she loved and the hunter everytime he went to sea for his catch.

Someone Who Believes



When cancer threatens to eat your flesh away
And you’re kept awake by constant pain
Let me help soothe that inner hurt
And revive that illusive rainbow
Show you another pathway
To reach that dream
Only I ask that
You believe
You can

Words r mine (c)

As long as there's a someone who can just be there for the cancer victim, whether its the spouse, family member, friend or even the healthcare provider, it can go a long way to help the person thru the journey.

Someone Who Believes In You

Quantums of joy



If giant jellyfish have souls, here's how their prophecy of rapture might read:

At the sound of the thunder, the dead shall rise first from the seabed. Then we who are alive shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet our Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with our Lord. And the humans shall be our witnesses.

These creatures have emotions too like humans. The woman, being very close to them, tried to guide them as they struggled out of the water for the first time with mixed feelings of ecstasy, fear and bewilderment,as they leave their world to meet their Maker.

The seascape and lighthouse is taken from my earlier work posted here.

I also use jellyfish images as reference, taken from sxc.hu

Thanks for viewing!

The Whisper of a Single Verse





Their final moments.....

The breathless whisper of a single verse
And loneliness blossoms within my heart
The shimmer of a single dream
And my world is undone
The memory of a single tenderness
And the sting of love reignites my wounds
In the moment when a single tear falls
All hatred becomes a distant blur
I can love you with all that I am
But even this cannot return you to me
From now on I will live as a shadow
Forever in the past…..

(Lyrics for Only for Love)sung by Jane Zhang, themesong from the movie 'The Banquet'

Dedicated to the Apple of My Eye ;-)
