An Abode

There is a place, lonely and blue; haven't been there, but keep searching through;
A place that has a story my mind contemplates, a simple story, let me narrate it to you!

The place was rocked by a star once upon a time;
A man, though a stranger, yet determined to explore its troughs and crests prime..

The man said,"Ah! What a world beyond the landmark, I’m flummoxed! Oh, princess of the abode,
would you allow me to create in here, my own road?"

The princess was a solitary damsel, a landlady of the gigantic territory,
Unaware of her own land, but closed to let anyone explore it merry...

The lady was a philanthropist, a woman kind and benevolent,
"Alas!", she said to herself," its closed, but how do I resent?";

For the eyes of the traveler spilled oodles of honesty, and his heart spilled inquisition;
His hands flaunted responsibility, to handle her abode with care and precision..

Each time he entered it, he would want to explore the abode deeper;
So much he contemplated its adornments, yet so right with his conviction and vigour...

The lady, flabbergasted with his colorful spirit, slowly released the abode colossal;
To allow his venture, through crests and troughs, through valleys and many a tangle...

He traveled in, explored the land, awed her with its secret space;
All that was alluring, all that was adventurous, all that had a childlike vigor and grace...

The man, with his taste so pertinent, became a polestar of the abode;
exploring each corner, each space; had made him a seeker bold!

Time rolled by, minutes leading to hours, and hours leading to days;
the inquisitive traveler kept dwelling, and cruising the abode like a maze!

The princess was startled,"Ah, so long, the traveler has been in; the man seems here to stay!
The territory is mine, but a man so true; should I allow him another day?"

Prompt came the reply, from inside the abode;
"Lady! Allow him for another day!"
The princess agreed, and days turned to months, but she enjoyed his presence gay!

Soon the man, with his art of certitude; converted the abode's crests and troughs,
to what I would certainly call contagiously endearing latitude!

The princess blew with ecstasy,
to see the abode of her fantasy;

"What magic, pray traveler, did you spill here?"
"Nothing, dear lady, would you believe, just unfurled its beauty mere!"

The traveler seemed like a cupid to her, a cupid that brought in cheer,
lovely hues of scarlet and gold, that sparkled bright and clear!

Time flew by, and the lady bestowed charge, to the man who shone so veracious;
"I needn't worry, I have a knight, who will protect my land precious.."

Little did she know, that a traveler is a traveler, do gypsies ever dwell?
Soon came the day, when his knapsacks packed, and he bid the abode farewell...

The traveler left, for another desination, to explore things interesting and new;
The princess caught unawares, and she started searching him all through...

Her search ended in vain, and she was lost; off fell a pearl down her cheek;
"I surrendered him the abode, but he left abrupt,
Ill let no one ever seek!"

Solitary she keeps her empire so astounding, lest the explorers depart,
Delicate as a petal, pristine as dew,
The abode is her own heart!

    I suppose you are trying an allegory here. But my mind is too muddled right now.
    All I can deduct is that the spirit of the land, loves this wanderer, one can suppose he might be one of the winds.

    Well, will try it tomorrow, when the mind is clearer.

    The traveller left the abode....
    Or the princess failed to look beyond the road....

    Probably the princess was in some sort of a solitary confinement
    Which put the traveller in a predicament

    To be or not be, the traveller could not decide
    The wanderer took the decision to hide

    To explore the crests and troughs prime
    To rock the place some other time

    To search for the key of the final frontier
    In search of some mythical reindeer

    To come back to the abode
    So that he and the princess rode

    Out of the walls, that can only divide
    But cannot make them abide

    To bring the story to a conclusion
    Or was it the princess's illusion
