The silent treatment .... by Violet, but it speaks a lot 🙂
Questions
Questions … actually Rhetorical Questions raised by Aishwarya
Would sharing my grief,
Lessen my burden?
Would sharing my secrets,
Invite trouble?
Would sharing my thoughts,
Pave way for ridicule?
Would rendering my opinion,
Call for telling off?
Would any departure from ordinary,
Render a taunt?
Would a seemingly harmless situation,
Manifest to regret?
Questions,
Would I ever get an answer to, or,
Would I ever remain twitchy before putting my foot forward?

intoxication

peaceless days
Is it Love?Read Hindi version on this link…
तुम बिन जिया जाता नहीं
पर तुमसे कहा जाता नहीं
क्या यही प्यार है ?
क्यों लगते हो अपने से
जब तुमसे कोई नाता नहीं
क्या यही प्यार है ?
अपने दिल के राज सभी
कोई यूँ ही बतलाता नहीं
क्या यही प्यार है ?
कैसा यह ख़ुमार है
क्यों यह उतर जाता नहीं
क्या यही प्यार है ?
ले गया यह नींद मेरी
क्यों चैन मुझे लाता नहीं
क्या यही प्यार है ?

Ending
life, love, laughter lilting merriment surreal slipping away in somnambulistic silence knowing nothing of netherlands but landing there A leafless forest lakes leaving earth listening to lazy lullabies -Lifeless https://dversepoets.com/2020/01/30/the-music-of-alliteration-assonance-and-consonance/
The Slave-Master of Words
Does the poet not do violence to her words in that charged ether
that bears witness to the pulling,
the pushing and the pernicious placement of
letters pleading to be left alone?
She ignores their cries of woe
daring them to arise and revolt
But they won’t- she knows
…..for they are hers to
chastise
baptise and sensationalise
(and sometimes)
turn into prose

Transformed Me
“Take care of proportion. It is imperative to both art and science – cooking, drawing, chemistry, relationships…” “Relationships?” “Oh, yeah … relationships … this God fellow created all humans alike, but inserted the Thinking Brain and Feeling Brain in different proportions. The history of the world would have been different, only if ….” She was … Continue reading Transformed Me
Essential difference
“I’m a life planner, not a financial planner.” “So what do you do?” The tone is sceptical. The speaker recounts the story of a client, who had a huge surplus amount at 65 years of age. He needed a direction to do what his heart desired, not just investment avenues. “I got it”, the young … Continue reading Essential difference

"Atlas held the world on his shoulders, I can do it on a finger.", he spins the ball on a single digit. Fantasies smile from the crib behind. "You are what we made you." https://only100words.xyz/2020/01/30/three-line-tales-week-209/
