Motionless, she stood gazing down the tunnel. The path extended as far as the eye could see, encased by walls of grimy bricks. She has passed through the same tunnel many times, in between what earthlings call a life and souls here call a project. She wants to make this the last time. She is … Continue reading Nirvana

Russian Roulette ….by Aboli Mane

Written jointly for SoCS (Stream of Consciousness Saturday) and Reena’s Xploration Challenge #269
The prompt for SoCS was “prize”. While RXC’s prompt was “sarcasm”.
I have been less active on here because I’ve been looking to apply to more writing contests in a bid to give my short stories a chance.
My latest short story, The Shiroyama Ritual was published in a global literary writing contest. The book titled The Selection of a Sacred Strawberry has been released as…

How ….by Mich
How
how do you stop the moon from giving up his life to the sun so that it could live to shine the world with light?
how do you block the clouds from pouring raindrops onto the land to bring forth new seeds of life?
how do you stall the bees from falling head over heels in love with the scent of the flowers?
how do you end the gentle echo of the bubbling of the brook?
how do you impede the coming of the raging storm?
how do you stop my heart from beating the same beat as yours?
how do you obstruct my sleep from dreaming of you?
how do you make me not need you so desperately?
how do you catch me from falling in love with you?
how, just how?
how?
For Reena’s Challenge
Sarcasm — a weapon or crutch?
➰➰➰
Sarcasm
Often the weapon of the weak
Or those who are tired, angry, defeated
Some are cowardly who find refuge behind sarcasm
While others think it’s great that they can get away
With saying things that they can’t say earnestly
Sometimes, it can make a few people laugh
Turn hopelessness into a joke so it’s easy to bear
Choose your words wisely, for once uttered they can’t be taken back
Do onto others what you would like for yourself
I found this quote on another blogger’s site and thought it just perfect for this post!

The ghost within the machine ….. by M. Jay Dixit
The ghost within the machine Talks to me as I talk to you, Hears me as you hear me, It's learning as we're learning. My love, my muse, Are you frightened? It's relentless, this ghost, It doesn't sleep, doesn't starve, Doesn't stop talking, hearing, learning. But it's no match for you Yet, my boo. You can take it on with your pinky toe There'll be no contest, you'll easily win. You'll always win, my selfish pudding. No matter how devious and scary The ghost becomes as time passes, No one can beat your ways. The constant torture just for a glimpse of your naked, true and alluring Body, face, the outs and the ins. So, maybe all artists are masochists and no ghost can be that sadistic Not even in a thousand years. Never.
