A new ray ….Villanelle by Jane Aguiar
I lost a lover along the way
Reveals deep pain
But transformation, a new ray
A broken flower likes to hang but does not fall
You said,’you hurt me too much,enough Jane’
I lost a lover along the way
Rechargethe system, I love it all
A broken heart stands again
But transformation, a new ray
Love has taken its toll
Brain runs like a metro train
I lost a lover along the way
A withered flower has to live till it falls
Life needs little rain
But transformation, a new ray
Respond to me before nightfall
Don’t like strain
I lost a lover along the way
But transformation, a new ray

Was Ram aware of it? …. A story by galofwords
Ram and Thara has been married for 4 years, but were childless. Ram’s mom , who was a firm believer and a diviner did a lot of offerings to God.
Everyone believed that Thara was cursed. Even Ram, sometimes, hurt her with sharp words, infront of his friend Shiv. Shiv was their neighbour too. Shiv used to retrieve Ram when he start yelling at Thara.
Another year have passed. Thara was upset. She was having severe nausea and wasn’t having enough food. At first, she didn’t notice anything. But when she realized that her period was late, she started having doubts. Ram’s mom was watching her changes. She asked Ram to take her to a doctor.
Ram was extremely happy, when doctor told him that Thara was pregnant. When they reached home, he shared the news with his relatives and friends.
On the seventh month of her pregnancy, Ram’s mom…

dreamlands within reachtake off at a tangent - stopmoving in circles Written for What Do You See hosted by Sadje
I came across a question on Quora,
“Who are you without the identity of your parents?”
The identity of women is often linked to that of the family – parents, husband, children. They are expected to behave in a manner befitting the social status and beliefs of the family.
I reproduce the answer below.
I firmly believe that every relationship is ultimately between two individuals – genetic, legal and social bonds withstanding. How you react or respond to one another will depend on individual temperaments and belief systems.
People within a family can thus, dislike each other, despite the familial bonds. Friends can have relationships that go beyond structures and expectations.
Someone once told me, that we are all at different stages of evolution, and cannot do much to help another soul. Each one has to live out one’s journey. It liberated me. It absolved me of guilt about being…

Pray tell me what is my future ….by Lady Lee
Pray tell me what is my future?
Can I erase all my mistakes?
Learn the lesson try new challenge
And at the same time, no regrets
I’ll breathe fresh air from the mountains
Pray tell me what is my future?
Is my knight coming on his horse?
Our night in full moon and stars
An old fortune teller told me
I will travel and see places
Pray tell me what is my future?
Can I build something out of none?
I stand firm for what I believe
Until my last breath so it seems
Shall I have faith or accept fate?
Pray tell me what is my future?*

Mapped out …. By Ken
The poem below: MAPPED OUT was originally written & published back in April of this year for a special online “Written In The Stars” spoken word event I participated in for Poetry Day Ireland. But I thought it quite apt as a response to this particular picture prompt for Reena’s Xploration Challenge 246.
MAPPED OUT
Is it written in the stars?
Is our road mapped out ahead?
Can we travel there by cars?
On magic carpets or in our beds?
Can you read it in the cards?
Cryptically hidden in my star sign?
Does it predict life on Mars?
Will it reveal to me at what time?
It will all come together
Or is that in the hands of the gods?
Is there love or some treasure
At the end of it all?
Maybe you believe in fate?!
If it’s predestined to be?
Or do you…
