THE ESCAPIST (STORY POEM)

 For long they were pent up under water,The dark realm of Earth,

Then one day they found a way to escape that darkness,

It is the story of a mermaid and merman,

How tragic became their life after love touched their heart.

Once they were prince and princess,

Living happily on fresh air.

But when they met each other,

They fell in love.

Once in a full moon night they sat beside the seashore and talked,

The Sea dragon ghastly,came and attacked them both.

They were captured and imprisoned under water,

There happened many tragedies with them,

As the sea witch casted a spell on the lovers,

And made them mermaid and merman,

Appropriately living under water.

Cold darkness enveloped their life,

They started living the life of fish,

Bearing children after children.

They forgot fresh air and how to breathe in it.

But one thing kept them happy that nobody could destroy their relation.

The Sea witch needed Royal blood and many species she created by exploiting the two,

Even the witch to make an estrangement between them.

But she failed as God was supporting them.

One night full moon,the lovers planned to escape the water,

They waited and prayed to God for years

To have two wings to fly away from the blue sea,

Even having the body of fish they longed for wings,

And crossing so many hurdles, finally they came out of water,

The night was quiet and the Sea witch was in deep sleep,

The dragon was murdered by some Sea venturer a while ago.

The lovers didn't miss the opportunity to ask a Blue Whale about the Sea witch,

Blue whale informed that she was in long term rest after so many cruelties.

The lovers jumped with joy and their long wail was over,

Anyhow they managed to come to the shore,

Then suddenly wings started flapping on their back.

They started flying and flying,

On a high mountain near the sea,

Then they promised each other to escape not only water but the mundane Earth too.

Their love will never perish,

They became able to fly high,

They were released by God and left a deep sigh,

Then the journey for planet another,

They started....

So, The lovers prepared to live happily at last,

Forever, they will not die and will fly and swim high in the ether,

Without bothering any danger ever to come.

By God's Grace everything is possible,

Even water species got wings to escape...

Since then,they still now are called the escapist,dare to say.
