Eyes – piercing, accusing, tormenting glances surround her spewing fire, till she shuts her own eyes to escape the lethal impact, and moves inward to find strength within. Eyes – watch with trepidation as the cross on her shoulders breaks to transform into artistic patterns and tells a story – a story which they do … Continue reading Eyes
I paint a rainbow on the sky. The lighthouse waits for a ship to pass. The lighthouse keeper stopped coming, as advanced technology took over. I feel its loneliness, and the feeling of irrelevance in the absence of ships seeking guidance. I move the torchlight on the wooden benches. Where have all the people gone? … Continue reading Rainbow in the Sky
it was more than a heartbreak when you said “i’m way over you so i went,” you went to dispose everything that reminds you of me- from the pillow we once shared keeping our heads together dreaming on a summer day, the sheets we ultimately thought would keep us warm together; while we struggle to snuggle, you give them all – it was more than a heart break to know, it was easy to let go.
it was more than a heartbreak when you left, you left just as i was running back to you; the dreams we dreamed, you took them all with you, the memories we dared lived, you burned them down, down the drain; the songs we shared and melodies we hummed, you let it all out out for the world to bid adieu; you too had said your saddest goodbye,

No wonder that many of them are at war with each other due to insecurity or a desire for more. … Continue reading International Peace and Love Day
From Reena: “We have a collage to fire your imagination this week.”
Fragranced by nature temporary blossoms Seasons changing the cycle ongoing Created to express thoughts unsaid Each step we take our course it shapes Stability in faith balance maintained
like night for day the skies for seas this life for death or you for me… change is constant as with time we learn when balance sways perhaps then we see how truly strong weak can be
A woman, who is okay about being alone, is a powerful woman.
She didn’t need anyone in her life right now, that was for sure. Her divorce; messy was putting it lightly. It wasn’t all Tom’s fault, but then it wasn’t hers either. Something had happened between her having Theresa, and growing apart. She told herself it didn’t matter if she were at home, looking after her child, while he was at work.
Losing part of herself, and it became clearer when her only child went to school. Before marriage, she worked as a manager in a computer firm. In charge of many, happy with her work.
Afterwards, being a housewife wasn’t for her.
Alone, like the tallest mountain peak, but there was a beauty in the ice. If you looked close enough, it had its own life. Breathing in, out, in a steady unison of power…
