What do they see?

walls painted by innocent beliefs encase dusty scripts unchanged through centuries entertaining less programming more mindsets   I see a witty child painting a fresh clue to the kind of world she wants reverberating with merriment not satire or villainous interjections   she’d  rather leave that to those who have seen too much of life … Continue reading What do they see?

That’s how it all began

the sky looked like ink, no stars, just black; that’s how it began.  the moon did rise – solitary, like in choppy waters a swan   it fluttered wings and sang a song, scattering moondust around’ one by one, stars appeared, like guilty kids – without a sound   tales of betrayal deeply etched on … Continue reading That’s how it all began

Nirvana land

capture life in shots – clicking away I see time quickly ticking away   loveless life – in search of a meaning transient emotions slipping away   I help someone, and look in their eyes embarrassed gratitude inching away   but reciprocal acts do not come by I need them more than they need me, … Continue reading Nirvana land
