Avan Aval Adhu 620

we cry tears from unbearable pain

we cry tears from fears of known and unknown

just when you think your dams and glands are empty

the pain that had lain unseen unsheathe the wounds

and memories that are raw and festering

Just when you thought you were done tearing up

the soul acts as a conduit and tears seep out through the ducts

Duct tape your eyes, seal your ears and seal yourself in a vault

still, ghosts and fires of old and stories untold

memories that you ignored as cold ash

ignite once more and blaze away

there is not enough water in the seas

for a soul to cry out as tears

and there is no deeper abyss

than the abysmal depths of sorrow

Did we come to live or to die?

Gayatri's speech slurred slightly and hearing herself, she giggled and declared to Clementina, ' Madame, I am famous for drinking out any man who sits across the table with me but this wine' pointing to the bottle and her empty flute, ' this is potent stuff indeed. Maybe, I will return to Paris just to drink this wine of yours.'

Her hands were slightly unsteady as the grabbed the flute and taking a sniff of its contents, ' There is so much in this wine. So much happening.'

Getting up she smiled down at Clementina and said, ' Thank you for the reading and for the wine. I owe you one. No two ' and pointing to the door, ' I will let myself out, Madame. Bye. God knows when we will meet again. Ciao.'

Clementina's face was set in a grim expression although her eyes reflected immense sadness and guilt as she thought about what she had done to Gayatri.

' Maybe I should have avoided the Reading and just told her the truth about what I felt is going on in her life?'

Her knees protested loudly when Clementina slowly got up to go to the phone by sending pain signals to the brain but soon died down for they knew that their owner was beyond any pain that they could manage to throw at her for she was a woman, a soul who was capable of immense courage and great fortitude in all manners of adversity.

The moment Gayatri stepped out of Clementina's shop she knew that she had drunk too much wine and cursed, ' Who would have thought that two glasses of wine were more powerful than a bottle of brandy? Surely, that wine must be from the heavens and what is served to Gods themselves.'

The world spun a bit and Gayatri knew that she was drunk and that the wine was soon going to hit her hard and probably knock her unconscious. Her eyes blurred and she began to panic as she felt her heart beat in a strange and erratic way.

' Am I dying? Is this what a cardiac arrest or a heart attack feels like? Oh F..k? What do I do now? ' and saying that she willed her legs to march forward towards the hotel that she was staying and then spotting a tall stranger walking towards her, raised both her hands and called out to him and tapping her heart, 'monsieur, I am not well. My heartbeat feels erratic and strange and my body feels as if it has been set on fire. Please help me and take me to the nearest hospital.'

Saying that she slowly collapsed as her legs gave way but the man held her in his hands as if he she was a new born baby and placing her in his knee, looked into her eyes and whispered, ' Gayatri, please forgive me but I have to touch your chest to feel your heart ' and saying that slipped his hand into her jacket and closing her eyes felt her heart.

Slipping in and out of consciousness, Gayatri summoned all her strength and opening her eyes looked at him and looked at the sun that had taken that moment to emerge out of the dark, gloomy December clouds that hung over Paris. She saw his face and she saw the light in his eyes and thought , ' strange, his light and the sun's light look and feel the same.'

' Mister, how do you know my name?' and saying that drifted away into unconsciousness.

Dhanashekara Pandyan closed his eyes and recollected what his leader, king and Guardian had told him.

' She is family. Protect her at all costs ' and opening his eyes, realized the meaning behind his king's command.

' Well, she is really our family now, father and I guess you knew this was going to happen ' and saying that, lowered his lips and covered her mouth with his and breathed into her lungs and with that kiss breathed new life into Gayatri and lifting her up carried her like a small baby and ran towards the nearest hospital that was a km away.
