"Her happiness floated like waves of ocean along the coast of her life"
~ anonymousDeep down from where the horizon is
Lies a kingdom forgotten by all.
Deep down from where others rejoice
Lies her heart.
Beautiful walls and palaces with storied yet to be heard
Is what is imagined by researchers.
Same old stories always heard ,
Same dramatic attitude
Is what they think of her.
That kingdom drowned centuries ago
Her heart collapsed just the day before.
There's many who want to unravel
The dark secrets that lie on the sea bed
There's many who don't leave
Any stone unturned
Just to make her dread.
Fishes and deep sea creatures might surround that kingdom now,
Corals and reefs might have now grown from it
And illuminate the sunken kingdom.
Broken mirrors and used tissue papers lie all over her room now.
As she writes her death wish over and over again.
That kingdom was popular among many fables and old tales.
She was in every jokes and rumors.
For it was Atlantis
The sunken island.
For it was she,
With her sunken heart.~Aananya Ratan
