Achingly immobile

Come with me, say the waves enticingly, but I know I’ll sink. The birds throw inviting glances when they rest on me, but I don’t wish to pull them down with my weight. The clouds flirt with everything they touch, and but refuse to own the damage they can inflict by bursting. The ships can … Continue reading Achingly immobile

Silhouetted in time

“A fresh angle to the story has emerged, five years after Herbert Hadley was administered death penalty. It turns out that he was framed in false charges by his opponents.” Herbert’s son runs his fingers on the etched glass separating the balcony. “Dad, your deeds stand silhouetted against the light of truth.

I dance with light feet and a heavy heart. I just ended a relationship today. I airbrush my images to conceal experience … Continue reading It’s not easy

The business of living

Housekeeping services, credit cards, working capital finance for business, social media management training, brand management, coaching, spiritual orientation initiatives and so many others help us to continue walking. Any reference to the starting point is investigative, to … Continue reading The business of living

Paparazzi

This is how he had always seen her – leaping into the unknown, while he kept a watch on where she was landing. She had perhaps, never noticed his presence, as it happened again today – in the press conference organized to give her bytes on the latest scandal surrounding her. He wished he could … Continue reading Paparazzi
