Red-Haired Beauty

I saw her 

She appeared 

All of a sudden 


First, it was an image 

Then I saw her in full height 

Her hair, flowing in the wind 


 Long, red curls 

Falling around her shoulders 


 I thought I was dreaming 

But I wasn't. 


 "Who are you?" 


 Her voice sounded soft 

Like a breeze 

Or a slight stream of rain dripping down on the ground 


 "I am Chechi Nikash. That means, Elder Sister of Horizon." 

The response rang in my ears. 

But she seemed to have heard it 


 Something about her was just capturing 


 Her eyes, that were sparkling like sapphires 

Her lips, on which a smile was drawn

 "How... How come, I can talk to you?" 


 I smiled, knowingly, understandingly 


 "We were connected by the midnight horse. 

 A connection, that can never be broken.

 We will meet in real life. 

Quite soon as I hope." 


She looked at me 

Almost trying to transfix me 

To see my inside and thoughts 


 I went on. 


 "The tale says,'Two people connected 

 By the midnight horse 

Will have a bond 

 Stronger than death. 

Whether by close friendship 

Or embittered fiendship 

Will show 

 When they meet.' 

This our fate will be." 


 She stared at me for a long while 

I stared back 


 The time seemed to stand still 

I was lost in the look of her eyes 


 After an eternity 

That had seemed 

 Like a few seconds 

I felt the connection dying 


 "I will see you" 

I whispered 


 I heard her replying the same 


 Then we both faded out of the world 

Between worlds 


 And when I woke up

 I heard a horse snorting

 "Eternal thanks to you 

Midnight Horse" 


 Whispering this 

The real world 

Appeared before my eyes again.
