If people don’t step on my toes, I can remain polite. If people speak for their own rights, I won’t have to lead a rebellion. If acceptance exceeded expectations, there would be less conflict. If power is redefined, there won’t be two segments called the rulers and ruled. If sharing does not incite paranoia, interpersonal … Continue reading If….

They travel from East to West, carrying whatever could not carry them. It is a desperate hunt for prosperity, recognition and a different lifestyle. Yet, the monochrome does not seem to go away - Diversity is a journey, not yet a destination. https://only100words.xyz/2021/01/13/three-line-tales-259/
The crows ….. by Aishwarya
The crows cawed cawed a curse,
The busy people never knew,
Noisily amongst their kin they carried,
Secret keeping they didn’t do.
Beyond the dragons of ire,
Where seething flames spit unhindered through darkness and light,
Beyond the mountains of desire,
Where unsurmountable peaks brushed against canvas of sky,
Did they stop to quench their thirst from teeming rivers of plentitude?
Did they stop to admire the valleys of unwilting blooms ?
What transpired between then and now,
The busy people never knew,
The crows cawed cawed a curse,
Putting all to slumber,
Sleeping beauty like I not know?
Shrouded in minds of obscurity,
Lying thicketed in clouds of uncertainty.
The crows cawed cawed a curse,
Putting all to slumber,
Sleeping beauty like I not know?
Only to wake up,
21 years into the 21st century,

WTF-WFH …. by Punam
I am an unwelcome intruder in my own citadel
my diligently built fortress run over by night crawlers
a glare, a scowl, a stare
I slink back sheepishly to nowhere!
Bent busily over their machines, they go about their operations
making me feel utterly useless and unwanted as they finish their assignments
the day time squatters of my prime property
banish me from my own domain with alacrity!
No laundry, no dishes, no talking or sleeping
mute and invisible, hands on for trouble shooting
I am their safety valve but the roiling in my inner
like the pressure cooker on constant simmer!
My feelings crest and crash regularly
delight on a vacation, sleep is of late a foe
restlessness and angst come and go
I laugh, live and love despite the gnawing hollow!
The dark night of my soul has never been darker than now
there seems no heuristic approach

this is not a painting emotions spilling over all over the place in different colors overlapping asserting resisting merging creating illusions calling for attention…. forming shapes drawing boundaries underplaying some- emphasising other structures to make sense… I look at leaves of hope I painted on top of chaos to make it look like a work … Continue reading A work of art
