Slowly, yet Suddenly

'Connect,'
She hymned.
'Connect
All those scenes.
D,
E,
A,
T,
And
H.
That's me.
That's me, dear.'

Shocked,
I was.
I sank to thoughts:

Deodar, Daffodils,
Dahlia, Dumplings,
Dew and Door.

Ember, Emerald,
Echo and Epistle.

Alcazar, Avenues,
Auditorium, Arabesque
And the Album.

Tree, Turtle,
Tiger and Trampoline.

Hearth, Harp,
Hats, Handkerchiefs,
Haircurlers and
Hairspring clock.

'So...,'
I am in terrible fear.
I can't, now,
Look at her eyes.
They are not sweet;
But stinks death.

'You're dead, darling.
Now it's time
To write your destiny;
Your soul's destiny.'

I sat there,
Feeling something -
I don't know what.
I realize,
That my heart ain't beating.
It never had frozen here,
In wonder
Or in fear.
Hallucinations, they were;
Hangover of an earthly life.

'Come,
We shall have a ride.'

And the animals, seven,
Walked,
And slowly, yet suddenly,
Started to run.
We moved forth.

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
So, what ride? And, I hope you are fine. 😍

Anshita_Nair was the only one to dare a guess in the last chapter. So, I dedicate this chapter for her, though I had given her a chapter before. Congratulations, sister. You rocked! She is Pearl; the Princess Pearl of death... (Yea, there shall be a new princess like that in this story)
