The last resort also succumbed,

Like a commoner, the fairy

stumbled .

To keep her away from pang and pain,

Almont all the ventures went in-vain .

Truly, though, a fairy she was,

Her over ambition to surpass

Made her so arrogant and illogical

That failed to judge betwixt

real and magical.

But for her over estimation and style ,

Innumerable chances too went futile .

There is a limit to things even in love and like ,

As all have some choices ,like and dislike .

Dormant doors and tendencies of human beings

Can’t be unearthed till they bring about reelings .

Better resolve to fly far from all expectations ,

The more we expect the less we get like hallucinations.
