The Stray

The stones pelted at him from the window pierced his soul as he recalled the guard’s role that he had played for the inhumans in that room.   Dogs live by ethics, humans follow no rules. They bite the hand that feeds And kill the heart that bleeds. Dogs devote their lives But to whom?   … Continue reading The Stray

Behind Your Success

Crafting your success manipulating it to make you a top star. I had to rise above my own needs and ambitions. Inspired by Colleen's Weekly Tanka Poetry Challenge-19 https://colleenchesebro.com/2017/01/31/colleens-weekly-tanka-poetry-challenge-19-craft-rise/

Jettisoned

I wonder who left the cargo there, with no sailor or passenger in sight. Was it jettisoned, and those who dropped it there, just flew away into the horizon? Hats off to that white dinghy, looking lost, yet waiting for someone to appear. Something far more intriguing than that, is the red stool under the … Continue reading Jettisoned

Love in Circles

The quote is fairly simple. However, this inspired something else, and I take the liberty to mention it here. I received love to know what it is and transmitted it after absorption, internalization and personalization on multi-directional linear and curved paths.   You were heartbroken since love did not return on a linear path. But … Continue reading Love in Circles

The Robbery

Wheels on wheels? Wheels behind wheels? Wheels dominated your life. I wanted to be the grease that lubricated your life, to help it run smoothly. But it was not destined. Life rolled on. You joined the army, married and had a family that loved you. I drove on aimlessly, alone on the highway of life, … Continue reading The Robbery

Illusion

The fish had always loved this. It was a view of their home in the ocean, with several memories associated. Free movement, symbiotic existence with other flora and fauna. It also reminded them of the eery feeling as they saw divers in strange costumes, huge vessels and large nets approach the depths of their haven. … Continue reading Illusion
