Solitaire #Writephoto

The water cleansed, grime and dirt from the Past, but tiny pebbles hurt my feet bare.   Stepping out to meet the Present was a respite much-needed, but the rough terrain did not much care.   I looked for warmth to envelop my existence But found no companion to love and share.   I walked … Continue reading Solitaire #Writephoto

HAIKU Your touch sparked a thought A twist created unrest, disturbed mental health.   TANKA Your touch created electric sparks in my head … Continue reading The Impact of Touch

For whom?

  Driving through life Immersed in her thoughts Her questions had remained unanswered For whom does hope dawn and for whom the bell rings? What was her place in their scheme of things?   A wall flower, A reproductive machine With love to shower? To paint their lives With cheer and light And watch her … Continue reading For whom?

Underbelly

Under the tough exterior lies a lot of pain. Neanderthals deserted by civilization Denied dignity, leading to Endemic violence Raw emotions rise in the strife for survival.

They bite the hand that feeds And kill the heart that bleeds. Dogs devote their lives But to whom?   … Continue reading The Stray

The Portrait

Gloria put her ledger in the secret compartment, under the false bottom of her desk drawer. It was a rather strange looking corner for an artists’ abode. Brushes and a sinister-looking pot of paint were seen, but no palette or canvas. The compartment had a very surreptitious-looking handle, as if the artist was turning its … Continue reading The Portrait

Love in Circles

The quote is fairly simple. However, this inspired something else, and I take the liberty to mention it here.
