Being in charge of hell…. in ZaniLa Rhyme and Whirligig 415
Welcome to Hell …. by Lady Lee
THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from“The Truth”by Natasha Rao:kind, father, read, imagine, tells, patient, alone, proud, world, piano, pages, capable
I couldn’t imagine who I am
Me being in charge of hell
My father who was the real boss
Left me alone in this mess I dwell
Imagine me being in charge
Hell needs me I tell myself
Who the real boss was my father
I read here, hope it runs by itself
In this world there should be a balance
Of heaven and hell realm
My father who was the real boss
I’m not capable, so overwhelm
I want to make my father so proud
I’m one kind of a leader
Who the real boss was my father
I’m just here being his cheerleader*

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #277
Meet a stronger, amazing Indira!
“Everyone has that moment I think, the moment when something so momentous happens that it rips your very being into small pieces. And then you have to stop. For a long time, you gather your pieces. And it takes such a very long time, not to fit them back together, but to assemble them in a new way, not necessarily a better way. More, a way you can live with until you know for certain that this piece should go there, and that one there.”
―Kathleen Glasgow,Girl in Pieces
Ego shattered
in thousand pieces
I assembled the pieces all wrong
then life was spent
searching
and
arranging
which piece to put where
but the changed perspective
of enjoying the process of solving of jigsaw Puzzle
of accepting the flaws
made all the differences
few scars here and there
made not so pretty
but
a different

Finifugal
I procrastinate
As I hate saying goodbye
You may very well
Brand me as Finifugal
I know it’s unavoidable
Everything has to end one day

Finifugal …..by Aboli Mane
She hung onto the edge of a precipice on a stone slab. The sea roiled belowcrashing onto oddly shaped boulders.Her heart drummed heavily within her chest like a thundercloud. She held on with all her might, dangling too close to the sea that reached out with hungry fingers.
“Give me your hand!” The stranger’svoice cracked above the waves, eyes widened in panic at the onslaught of the incoming storm. How did it end up like this? There was no time to think. She stretched out her hand, letting go of the fear…the fear of a trustfall. Would her expectations be dashed to pieces? Would hershe regret this decision? There was no time to think.
Trust fall.
Her belly swooped at the terror of letting go, but the stranger’s arm tightened firmly around hers. She clasped it desparately in return and the storm broke above with a…

Less than a Dot
All sources of light hold a conference to discuss their future. The house with a solar panel on top walks in uninvited. It may be a consumer, but is equally affected by the angry sun. Reports say the Sun is shooting out flares, like bits and pieces separate and head for nowhere. Is the Sun … Continue reading Less than a Dot
Darkness
“Is the law of diminishing utility applicable to relationships?” The opening sentence of Neerja’s email makes me shut down devices, and vanish into oblivion. Yes, the oblivion is how we describe the offline world. It’s not disinterest, just I know what to expect. Many things gradually lose sheen in life, including relationships. I wanted to … Continue reading Darkness
The sunflower rains, the moon in your eyes: But as of lately I’ve not been me
The sunflower rains, the moon in your eyes
Rockstargirl tells you why…
Lately I’ve not been me in the sunflowers that you see behind the rain but coming like an asteroid I am about to hit earth watching my fire start to burn hitting downward like I am on blast off but I am seeing myself get off but as for the sunflowers they have grown after hours you would think I would get used to the feeling of the meraki but something took it away and that was the time that got away but I hope that these stories only reach what is the stellify to the sundown at night. But lately I wish there was more, because I feel like I am lost in the quiet wondering where the places I am going to be will hide how you feel about me so just never leave me alone because I will find a way to reach the cord of the…
