The key drops with a thud on the cold floor. Beads of sweat on her forehead glisten in the sun. She has been warned against touching the ancient treasure. Her ancestors guard it in form of snakes and scorpions, and woe begone to anyone who goes near … or so the locals say. There is … Continue reading Folklore
Ahh–The Indifference of Time …………by Aishwarya
RxC # 266
Ah! The indifference of time,
I exist everywhere,
In the by-lanes of crime,
In the hearts of poets who rhyme,
In the deathbeds of ailing,
In the newborns wailing,
In the fast lanes of Gen Z,
In the equanimity of all seeing tree,
Ah! The indifference of time,
Ah! The indifference of time,
I exist unscathed,
If I were to be here,
And you were to be there,
Yet life and causes differ,
Differently, even a mother and daughter suffer,
Know not I, much of you, and you of me,
Except for stories we share of sorrows and glee,
Ah spaced divergently! The indifference of time.
Ah! The indifference of time,
I exist eternally,
On different dimensions,
Harbouring similar apprehensions,
Man, riddled by emotions,
And intoxicated self promotion,
I see moon by the night and you star by the day,
Yet we exist until we may,
Ah!…

Time: Our friend or enemy ….. by Sadje
“Each take is unique, and that is the beauty of a writing prompt. It takes each one of us on a different trail”
The hands of the clock
Revolve and come back
But the time flows
In one direction only
Like a river the waters of which
Never pass a point again
Lovers meet, embrace and separate
Time decides where,when, and how
Time is the important quotient
In the equation of life
The rise and fall of people
All depends on where they stand
In relation to ever-passing time

Natural numbers begin with 1 and proceed by ones up to infinity ∞, which is not actually a number, it is an idea. Infinity is a powerful concept that deals with something that is an absolutely unattainable value. You may think that you are getting close to infinity, but you can never reach it, because infinity goes on forever and it never ends. The odd thing is that infinity plus one is still equal to infinity, so nothing can be bigger than infinity. Infinity is the largest of the large and the smallest of the small, as having an infinitesimal amount means that something is infinitely small, being too tiny to be measured. This is the idea behind that is behind Calculus, as this form of mathematics allows us to be able to break lines down into smaller pieces, so curved lines would act like straight lines. Calculus is used to determine…

Broken ….by Elizabeth
a broken dish mended with gold the scar is precious it tells time and has a story shouldn’t be erased, discarded travelling to countries, continents rough oceans, calm skies it reveals a path taken, chosen to reach the eventful moment a split second of sorrow when the past can’t be redone however, the future is a choice the trash bin or the shining on the shelf a decision must be made the fragility in the hands of the doer a smile, a memory of celebration a lump in my throat, a memory of an empty dish mended with gold

What is love? …
By Aboli Mane
What is love? I ask as we part the clock ticks like a heartbeat ten pm flushed roses droop their elegant heads shamefaced love is… my ears sharpen when you whisper my world slows love is… a bird in spring a coiled embrace a moment love is… not a crown or a monument nor a crest jewel love is… the emotion that stands the test when time makes it wait love is… this moment stretched infinite as I hold your hand ten past ten love is… your presence lingering like a scent this is love

#feel# ….by Destiny
Written for Reena’s: RXC PROMPT # 266
If I could freeze hands
on this timepiece, seconds shall
last infinitely
But none command its
constancy, savor joy and
pain, they come and go
Hold still, allow the
agonizing memories
to flow from within
Uncage the turmoil,
let pain engulf you, for it
too shall pass sadly
Unburden your eyes
tears heavy, precious jewels
flow in agony
Grant your heart it’s ache,
privilege earned for love
true, heavens forsake
Unleash your soul’s cry,
honor gained from emotions
pure, loss now shattered
Time hurts, but heals too,
through pain and loss we travel
must, to heal and grow
Suppress not desires
to feel broken, for times the
foe and the friend too

Father ….by Michelle Navajas
Father (A Flash Fiction)
“i’m sorry, i couldn’t hear any heartbeat,” my doctor revealed after just a few minutes of examining my supposed baby bump. my mind went crazy, and my heart beat the fastest and loudest beat ever. i wanted to cry, but there were no tears. i wanted to shout and curse the universe. still, no sounds were coming out. my doctor knew i was on the brink of losing my composure, so she asked me to sit down and gave me a glass of water. “stay calm,” she said.
waiting for you as i held my tears was the most traumatic part of hearing the news. i could see myself heading in directions only God knows where. i wanted to run away, away from the reality that i would never get to hold in my arms the baby i so wanted to have. “you quietly came into…

Time flies ….by Ken Hume
For this week’s Reena’s Xploration Challenge, Reena has given us some images on the concept of time as a source of creative inspiration for us. Below lies my contribution: 👇👇👇
TIME FLIES
Time flies
When you’re having fun
But still goes by
When you’re having none
The clock is ticking
While the earth is spinning
Around our glorious; smiling sun
Time heals
All wounds, they say
Have yet to see
How that really plays
Out
The clock is ticking
While the earth is spinning
Around our glorious; smiling sun
Time is free
You can never lack
You can’t keep
It or get it back
The clock is ticking
While the earth is spinning
Around our glorious; smiling sun
