Or do you waver? How was the plan created? Are you following a financial plan suggested by your friend, family member or financial planner? Or do you have a plan aligned to your dreams, innermost desires, personality and lifegoals? Life goals are larger than money goals. … Continue reading Money Mondays – Psychological Thresholds — SacredCircleforWomen

Devilish This Fear

Posted on by Reena Saxena

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

Devil borrows
Twilight’s voice
tortures sensibility

Tangled bedclothes
grumble, inflexible
bedmates – unsupportive

Where is reason?
my mind wails
heart drumming discord

I access light,
perch on edge of bed
will myself to breathe

(My dear husband is in hospital again, his fifth surgery to reconstruct his knee. It’s been a long ordeal and my heart bleeds for him. Fear is an awful bedmate. I submit this poem in response to the promptings of Eugi’s Weekly prompt: twilight and Reena’s Xploration challenge: devil. Image my own.)

Pain — Charmed Chaos

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Pain does this to a body-pushes you to the brink surrounds you in deceptive arms making you believe that it always was and always will be here washing you up on a rusty shore anchored by the weight of its magnitude and there you sit, buried in quicksand thoughts and shifting stone Waiting for the next blinding wave praying it will not be as […]Pain … Continue reading Pain — Charmed Chaos

Women in the WorkPlace – What they Want — SacredCircleforWomen

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I remember attending a women’s conference organised by a trade union long back. They were scouting around for new members, and saw this as a ‘en bloc’ target market. The question was raised, “What do Women Want?” Unfortunately, answers revolved around a demand for various concessions, in view of their dual role as bread-earners and […]Women … Continue reading Women in the WorkPlace – What they Want — SacredCircleforWomen

“Can’t take it any more. I’m at the end of my tether.” “Hmmm.. they are not backing it up with dollars, but their assets which include loans. Not trustworthy, for sure…" “Who?” “Those who spoke about stability in a volatile world…. Bitcoin, Dogecoin are riding the Musk bandwagon. Would you consider Ethereum or Cardano?” I’m … Continue reading Language as a Service

Time traveller

Posted on by Reena Saxena

The black and white picture set a furore amongst believers in time travel. One of the people in the crowd is holding a mobile phone in the last century. Was he a visitor from the future? How come he was not identified as an alien, and continued to talk on the phone in the crowd? … Continue reading Time traveller

Monsters

Posted on by Reena Saxena

I am the monster of every story. Do you see the Devil in me? Maybe you do, with the lenses you wear and the indoctrination you carry. I am a free soul, who does not accept suggestions, and does what keeps me happy. Sounds monstrous? Isn’t it? How can someone be so isolated? I guess … Continue reading Monsters

Reena’s Xploration Challenge # 188 – Devil

Devil …. By Sadje

PROMPT #188

The word prompt for today is

DEVIL

Don’t look outwards to find the devil

It resides within your own soul

Some part of our personality is good, angelic 

And some of it is leaning to the bad side, devilish 

When we stray or do something bad

We blame it to the whispering of the devil

But the promptings come from our baser nature, the devil within 

We gladly take credit for all the good deeds we do

But we need to hold ourselves responsible for the mistakes too

Tame the devil hidden in plain sight

And you’ve won the war of the good vs evil

♾♾♾

Failed ploy

Posted on by Reena Saxena

Failed ploy …….by Punam

paeansunplugged's avatarpaeansunpluggedblog

He hides in the shadows as twilight descends

Standing behind the icy curtain of frost in the vale

Plotting a sinister plan so vile, as the day slowly ends

Around midnight the wind suddenly turns into a gale.

The dead and the departed respond to his call

Obsidian figures rise as if in a trance

They move as directed; at his beck and call

In a messianic frenzy they begin to dance.

He stands now in front of the dank, ornate crypt

Hoping to regain life from his inamorata lying supine

With fingers, like daggers, his beloved’s heart is ripped

Tears of blood fall from the heaven and dogs begin to whine!

Slithering snakes shatter the syntax of the night

Howling hyenas hum scenting a hunt

Lighting strikes thrice cleaving the night

Bringing to a naught his devilish stunt!
