The Black Cat

Izzy didn’t believe in luck, until that cat crossed her path. It was the luckiest day in her life, a day she will cherish as long as she lives, and maybe after that. She often sees that cat on the moon, blessing her even after crossing over to other worlds. The mere act of adopting … Continue reading The Black Cat

Dream a little dream

It’s the same old house. I’m on the terrace, ready to take off on a flight, but fall. My wings have failed. I see myself on my destination, jumping through the golden orb into a zone of bliss. Fame, wealth, peace, love all surround me. Then, those dark corridors again…. Which take me back to … Continue reading Dream a little dream

On a different plane

I’ve heard stories about black holes. People lost and never found are supposed to reside there.  Is a black hole really black, or just a space where gravitational and other powers do not work?

Recluse

I knew it before landing in this jungle of well-dressed thorns. They don’t like people who know better than them. They speak to you as if obliging. They probe further to know your alignment to power bases. And that man with one eyebrow quizzically raised… I knew it he will walk away after knowing who … Continue reading Recluse

War

I summon you, Beasts of War! I struggled hard to convince I cried out from depths of my soul but nobody winced… Was it out of guilt or misplaced expectations Which I’ll never fulfil defiance invokes hatred works overtime to make my defences crumble, make me see red It does not happen Loops of conflict … Continue reading War
