Memories

crumpled memories lying in a bin for times immemorial suddenly made sense this morning   I doodled thoughts till they assumed a familiar face - pliable memories reconstructed to fit in a comfort zone   my life begins to make sense 0nce again…. the faces lose identity to become masks https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/category/reenas-exploration-challenge/

Horrors of the night

Inspiring prose “Darkness came, full of moths and beetles. I was oppressed by the velvety emptiness of the word and swathes of soft grass. Then the fumes of the night put me to sleep” (As I walked out one Midsummer morning) Poem claustrophobic darkness not-s0-romantic a night prickly, sick dreams make me long for light … Continue reading Horrors of the night

Give it to them

they swim with tides for the day’s catch get rich with schemes not all humane   they hold secrets they nurture bonds they protect their kind ignorance they feign   we intellectuals in ivory castles just- look down with disdain the world conquered – so what we give it to them sky and earth meet … Continue reading Give it to them

It’s time….

Birthday

a few more marks left on the world a few more lessons learnt a few more breaths spent   I cannot assess the exact impact -parameters being frequently redefined   another year another cake another birthday I celebrate life…. https://amanpan.com/2019/06/17/brewnspew-cafe-june-17-2019-%f0%9f%a5%82happy-birthday-to-me%f0%9f%8e%82/

Re-directed

Why should I fret  over a life that did not happen, lost battles, well-meaning initiatives not supported by amoral power?   I cannot stop values being redefined, the world realigning to laws of the jungle….   I will change course and find peace In solitude -Redirected https://dversepoets.com/2019/06/17/quadrille-82-fretboard-of-poetry/

A place of doubt

I left for eternity, that night leaving fragile bonds behind severing ties with all my might   heavy eyelids, thirsty soul in search of the meaning of life I left for eternity, that night   unfamiliar is the new terrain powered by freedom, I sway ahead leaving fragile bonds behind   I look for welcome … Continue reading A place of doubt

Un-awareness

Disapproving

disappointment in my mother’s eyes often made me wonder if I’m an anomaly or anachronism   Years later I’m forced to think - was I just ahead of my times or a misunderstood aphorism?   I arrived when a few looked up to and followed me… should I term it admiration or plagiarism? https://onewomansquest.org/2019/06/10/v-j-s-weekly-challenge-52-anomaly/
