The shadow gets darker as light changes in autumn evenings. It spreads arms on both sides, as if it wants to hug me. I’m curious. I’d like to know it better. Where does it live? What does it do? Why do we fear those who exist on a different plane? I guess because they are … Continue reading Shadows
Filtrate #Tanka by Jane Aguiar
Filter life’s burden
Try to throw residue out
Become like filtrate
Make your heart clean like filtrate
Let’s be healthy and happy
This post is part of
Clear water is collected in the beaker as filtrate, and muddy particles on the filter paper as residue. This process is called Muddy water filtration.
Thank you for reading.
Stay Blessed!

It wasn’t ……by Sangeetha
It wasn't quite a question
his haunting voice let loose
to wander the labyrinth of my mind
with the intention to confuse
grappling with wayward words
sneaking in to seduce
dancing to my drummer heart,
I knew it was a ruse
Yet I played along
and let the query suffuse
past filters of my armoured treasure chest
of my invisible inner recluse
He trailed a touch to wake me up
his scented eyes amused
Apparently, I'd said Yes
and now we're doing 'I Do's

Angry Dreamer ….by VJ Knutson
Envisioning breakup –
past haunting possibility –
she navigates uncertainty
an angry dreamer
Tries to settle on truth
but with rage as filter
she processes and processes
reaching no solid ground
Love, she concludes,
is beyond availability
plans a solitary existence
until vulnerability caves again.
(for Eugi’s Weekly prompt: haunting, and Reena’s Xploration challenge: filter.

right kind of sieve
With the right size of net
to filter
and
keep
what is required
and
what to through away
