Carefully structured

The organization structure is carefully built. There are special slots for the favoured ones, deliberate spaces between some so that the connections are not too obvious. They need to control it from all sides – ensuring that followers stay on a predetermined path, managing dissent, building intelligence networks to know what’s happening on the ground. … Continue reading Carefully structured

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #136 — The Circus of Right

The Circus of Right …by Jade Li/Lisa

the circus by Albina Felski

Reena, I have taken your poem apart and did a statement and response with it.

Would I care to be right? If life was not finite

Life is infinite. So is death. It’s an eternally revolving door.

If I’d the luxury of eternity to let it be naturally proved that I’ve always been right…

When you look in a mirror, which side is right?

beliefs and perspectives windowless walls between us block insights –

Our beliefs, perspectives – and insights – are no less valid when not paralleled/cloned with another’s. Each is on their own path.

so much so, that you revel in pleasures of darkness bottling and imprisoning light

Imbalance will right itself. Darkness can only bottle and imprison life for so long. All it takes is a tiny crack, and oomphalos rises.

The blues

The blues…. by Punam

paeansunplugged's avatarpaeansunpluggedblog

I dressed my blues prettily

and sent out for fresh air

but it looked pensive in pink

standing all alone

where once blossoms bloomed

an empty bench, where loneliness sat alone,

invited it for company

but it trudged back home

lodging deep down inside me

content to curl quietly

dripping drop by drop,

painting my pained soul

I am learning to live with it

too tired to look for metaphors

I delve deep, cladding myself
in the darkest hue

revelling in the pleasures of darkness

bottling and imprisoning light

for it hurts my eyes and blinds me

blackness envelopes me comfortingly.

"you revel in pleasures of darknessbottling and imprisoning light"

Downpour

“I don’t know when the shower of blessings changed to a downpour of responsibilities. And I could never get my head out of it. I’m going to miss work terribly.” Tears rolled own the cheeks of the CMO, as she concluded her farewell speech. She’d retired from the services of the hospital today. “You are … Continue reading Downpour

बीत गए हैं

Englosh translation in Comments…

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

कब तलक करूँ इंतज़ार तेरा
दो दिन आरज़ू वाले बीत गए हैं

कब तक रहेगा खिज़ा का आलम
मौसम बहारों वाले बीत गए हैं

अभी तो अंधियारी रात बाकी है
कुछ पल बेक़रारी वाले बीत गए हैं

एक दिन तुम्हें याद आएगी हमारी
ख़्याल तसल्ली वाले बीत गए हैं

क्या आओगे तुम सुनकर अमित
की तुम्हारे चाहने वाले बीत गए हैं

Living with Insanity

Someday, this will be over– only remembered like some half-felt and fading nightmare. Someday, nobody will believe that it actually happened, that she had to go through the hell they know only from novels or movies. People who see the smiling couple posing for pictures will never know what transpired in the privacy of their chambers. … Continue reading Living with Insanity
