Boy in reflection ….by Ramya Tantry
New place, new home, new people
I wonder whether I will make friends here.
Or will it be just me and the boy in the reflection again?

“You are cordially invited to a gala night of entertainment organized by inmates of Golden Years and their well-wishers,” says the invitation to the doctor. Golden Years is an old age home in the neighborhood, which he often visits to help residents with their recurring health issues. The last few months have been different though. … Continue reading Influence
“What are you doing here?” She could have given anything to see this expression. “Why do you look so surprised?” “This is the sleaziest bar in town. Not a place I’d like to see my wife in…” “I guess togetherness means being where you are. I took some time to find out your favourite haunts … Continue reading Compromise

Of love and time …. by Jude Itakali
Time chimes in my mind
I think of then, now, and when
Always in slumber and often in waking, I peruse perception’s many doors.
Through memory, imagination, and hope
I find ambition, inspiration, and fear
But there is one door I will never open again;
And that door is LOVE!
You!
My curse
Dreams disperse
As love destroys
For better, and for worse!
I once pondered on Hellen’s ploy
Her plight they say brought the downfall of Troy
Sympathy and suspicion surround lies so true
When a loved one wields you, as Love’s decoy
When Time chimes; plays you like a toy
Till heart and bliss averse!
And love turns coy
Pain rehearsed
Hope’s farce;
You!
Everything about her was a lie
And now that door will not open
My heart remains an island, hoarding its bounty

Character sketch of a lie ….by Indira
Prompt#216
We have an image here, but the task is not just to write a story or poem about the picture or spirit of the picture.
You need to imagine this as a character in a story plot and write about her.
———————————————————-
The lies she can tell
Without batting an eyelid
With innocent face
She can fool the over smarts
Who brag about their wisdom
Her smile is false too
Like her false melancholy
She knows very well
How chivalrous people
Like a damsel in distress
As they get a chance
To show off their valiancy
Empathize, someone,
Makes…

Lie …. by Mich
Lie
everything about her is a lie
starting off with her big charming smile
down to her notorious strong profile
and her perfectly empowered life.
everything about her is a lie
she covered it with her sweetest glow
hiding all the pains of being beaten so low
of silently wanting to scream out loud.
everything about her is a lie
she had to make a false show
a pretense for everyone to know
that she is better than being okay.
everything about her is a lie
and maybe one day she’ll
learn to figure out the hell
she is trapped with for long.
