Space

I love I mull over it I promote I fight I share I write But fail to overcome…. They  change shapes colour rewrite stories till they blur wait for attention disappear But not for long …. Oh, these thoughts that jostle for space… https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2020/08/15/weekend-writing-prompt-170-jostle/

Freedom

A busy day ahead promises made earlier in the week come back to haunt…. How do I say my priorities are different today I open other windows while listening to the speaker on a webinar I feel obliged to attend… I also need to scan recipes for a special dinner I recall the luxury of … Continue reading Freedom

Boatman Songs

Bengali literature and music in India have a rich heritage of boatman songs. Boats have been an integral part of journeys and separations in stories. I am not sure if translations are allowed in the Poetics prompt, and I shall delete the piece if it violates rules. The song I've chosen to translate here is … Continue reading Boatman Songs

Colors

multiplicity of colours makes me wonder what is the real face like -dark backgrounds -acquired sophistication -or monotonous monochrome? I pick up a brush and paint you with my imagination but moods interfere -making you look different with each brush stroke https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2020/08/06/reenas-exploration-challenge-147/ https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/2020/08/10/what-do-you-see-42-10-august-2020/

Immortal

witnesses mute -despite magnificence, magnitude, and timelessness  -know whatever happens in the confines of man-made structures is buried history not a fantasy souls that cry  spirits  that die are not excavated There are no mortal remains, -just  Immortality pain or joy https://scvincent.com/2020/08/06/thursday-photo-prompt-fantasy-writephoto/

Complexity

jagged edges separate vital parts -of a process -of entities -of human minds -of decisions -of conclusions Life -unending effort at smoothening  sharp edges To discover unseen surfaces adding to complexity Origami -pulled -straightened to flatten again -like the line that moves straight on ECG monitors https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2020/07/30/reenas-exploration-challenge-146/ https://dversepoets.com/2020/08/06/just-sayin/

Target markets

windows gradually  lighting up they are back home…. Once again I wish  I knew what happened in their lives during the day the darkness in other windows stops me from getting voyeuristic I don’t know what fires their minds I don’t know how do I touch their lives I shed all  misconceptions of helping people  … Continue reading Target markets

Growing up

adventures galore call me once more it’s not safe out there Mom says, with due care Not just love her, but adore Yet I need to explore I like how she rears as she smoothens my hair A risk-taker at the core I’ll jump through the door rough and tumble of life awaits there is … Continue reading Growing up

Fragmented

scribbled fragments of a divided conscience A struggle to protect life while lamenting its  worthlessness sermons to propagate selflessness books eulogise virtue of selfishness I want to do what my heart desires but do my duties without knowing  relevance of the acts Subconscious - A confused, chaotic place makes each step painful unlike robots with … Continue reading Fragmented

Disappointed, once again …

each step each curve -familiarity breeding hope when I climb pulling out weeds  on the way starkness of mindset on the way back stays longer…. -disappointment once again -at not finding whatever I go  looking for.. https://scvincent.com/2020/07/30/thursday-photo-prompt-worn-writephoto/
