I distinctly remember the midnight mass I attended with Aunt Josephine, and the purple frock with golden checks stitched by my mom for Christmas. I was all of five years old. Eid was spent with Uncle Latif and Aunt Mariam. The childless couple doted on me, and cooked vegetarian food for us, respecting my family’s … Continue reading Bonding

What a wait! …. by Aishwarya
Waiting for work to yield favourable results- patience, perseverance, persistence
Waiting for stars to work their magic- gazing, hope, luck
Waiting for work to yield results until one fine day, he is worked up- dismay, despair, deluge

Purple Haze … By Jude Itakali
wistful September
darkness and light harmonize
Equinox is here
At year’s end, dusks and dawns flaunt lilac bliss
Hearts flutter in periwinkle dreams
The Purple haze descends on all
Our fortunes come full circle
Portends of the Seer-
Must we heed, or fear;
Cards that read dreams
Runestone dooms
Lost truths
Fate
Purple horizons
when birds flock rift valley lakes
Far-winter’s blessings
Forget not the many hues of each colour
Wondrous scintillating deceptions
Where mystery inflames beauty
And fantasy spoons reality
When the Purple haze has you
Smitten by its amethyst sheen
Blinded to its heliotrope tinge
A wistful time indeed
A time of comeupens
When the end is in sight
and watchful things stalk your every step.
the circle of life
where mine is not truly mine
yet comes back around
one’s curse, another’s blessing
equal darkness, equal…

A new ray ….Villanelle by Jane Aguiar
I lost a lover along the way
Reveals deep pain
But transformation, a new ray
A broken flower likes to hang but does not fall
You said,’you hurt me too much,enough Jane’
I lost a lover along the way
Rechargethe system, I love it all
A broken heart stands again
But transformation, a new ray
Love has taken its toll
Brain runs like a metro train
I lost a lover along the way
A withered flower has to live till it falls
Life needs little rain
But transformation, a new ray
Respond to me before nightfall
Don’t like strain
I lost a lover along the way
But transformation, a new ray
