Empty, not out
Solitude
I celebrate the night not for its somnambulistic effect, but the thoughts and dreams it generates. The darkness in the external world, lights up a different world inside. I feel at peace, because there is no demand, urgency or distraction from external sources. The lava inside me also chooses to flare up when nobody is … Continue reading Solitude

Quaint Lover … by Indira
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #72

Quaint Lover
go
grow
fly in the sky
explore the world
don’t hang to me
I’m rooted
immobile
you have wings to fly
don’t look at me
with sad eyes
I’m bad with goodbyes
but promise to me
When you are tired
your wings weak
feel lonely
and undesired
come back to me
I’ll always be there
waiting for thee
rest in my arms
I’ll sing a lullaby

A prince .... by Helene Vaillant
Claustrophobic
She chokes as the prickly fingers gather around her, moving fast to remould her existence. Her attempts at escape are thwarted by new arms sprouting up, like the tentacles of an octopus.

They never … Continue reading Psychopath
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #72 – “The Perfect Man”
The Perfect Man ……… by Michael
She thought of him the perfect man,
Good looking, educated, a man with skills
A man she liked to be with.
Her attraction was total, he dominated her thoughts
And he enjoyed her adoration.
They courted, and he impressed her father,
He was everything the father wanted in a husband
He would be the ideal son-in-law.
They married on a bright and sunny day,
The bride looked beautiful,
Friends and family came from near and far
It was a wonderful day of celebration.
Once they said their farewells
Drove off into their married life
Things began to change.
He questioned her conversation with men at the wedding
Demanded her attention, queried what she was up to
When out of the room doing what women must do.
Their home became her prison,
He paid her attention, solely for his own gain
He neglected her, found fault,
Blamed her for everything he…

A huge responsibility fell on Mat’s shoulders – that of managing itsresponses. The guns fitted on its body could start firing from anywhere, and facing it always made onlookers nervous. They were unaware … Continue reading THE AUTOMATON WHO BECAME SELF AWARE
