I dreamt

I dreamt I was the moon. Miraculously, the underbelly of the world revealed itself – crime, conspiracy, concealed hostility. I swelled in size gradually, as I internalized the gory tales. I wish I was the Sun, scalding all…. but it was a moonless night again. https://dversepoets.com/2019/07/22/prosery-2/

Making of a criminal

This toy gives me immense satisfaction, especially while watching WWF on television. I treat my enemies the way I want to. It is catharsis. Today, I see them swimming out of the well.

Unfamiliar

I’ve just completed a tour of the building, after studying the different forms of art on display.

Epiphany strikes, and I resolve … Continue reading Unfamiliar

Guessing games

Rainbows are beautiful, but inadequate to narrate all hues and shades of human emotions. Skies make an effort with a few more colors – notorious blacks, ambiguous grays, perplexing purples and translucent blues.

The Devil wears Red

“Black appears to be your favorite color, Mr.President?” The journo wanted to end the conversation on a lighter personal note. “Yes.
