I was shopping with my friend,who knew my fetish for lockets and rings.It was strange to find him examining crystal ware,near the back of the shop. "Aren't you supposed to be looking for a locket for me?" I asked him,in mock anger. He didn't grin at me like he usually did,he looked at me with a strangely thoughtful expression that scared me. I had never seen him like that before.
He pointed to the wine glass he was staring at.
"My mom had preserved wine glasses like these" he told me. "It was her favorite. I liked them a lot too. It was beautiful"
I waited for him to go on.
"She never allowed me to touch them. And I know why. The day I held them,I broke all of them" he said. There was a smile on his face.It was inflection less.It was almost sardonic.
He turned to me,his poker face was back. He grinned. "Now what kind of locket do you want?"
I smiled.It was a mirror image of his smile.I realised then I had a poker face too. "I have been looking for one which has fleur-de-lis.."
We walked back to the front of the store,our usual camaraderie back in place.

fleur-de-lis?? thats the lily ne??
ReplyDeleteso u wanted the coat of arms or the flower insignia itself??
=.= Of all the things you noticed.Maybe the meaning of what I wrote is too subtle :((
ReplyDeleteThe flower insignia. (and btw,this didnt happen.Its a piece for purpose)
Men fail to notice the obvious. :D and I got that trait too :P ( No, I am not a guy like your relatives thought >:P )
ReplyDeleteFleur-de-lis represents a lot. Female virtue, spirituality,light, Mary Magdalene the wronged Lady of the House of Benjamins, the holy trinity---> faith, chivalry, wisdom.(courtesy -Dan Brown :P )
Lol.I got that. Dan Brown *worships*
ReplyDeleteI just learned my lessons.These kind of pieces should be incorporate into a full length story so that its easier to understand what I was saying :(
From what I gathered,this piece tells me something like "Its beautiful right/too good for you?you like it?Thank You.But do me a favour,don't try to penetrate anymore.Cause the moment you proceed any further,what you see now wnt be there anymore." A person always tries to understand his loved one and become more intimate despite puzzling admonitions.Raw and unregulated affection is like the meltdown of a nuclear reactor.A wine glass indeed comes close.
