Somewhere there

let’s hitch a ride to other side of nowhere Hope lives somewhere there   nature beckons me foggy paths strewn with shadows arches to welcome   determination drives – and my dreams take care of happiness – somewhere there https://scvincent.com/2019/08/01/thursday-photo-prompt-destination-writephoto/

Up in the air

“We take pride in the past, but are excited about the future. Here lies your key to leadership – build anticipation, ignite hopes – it is all in the air, unverifiable.” My mentor rambled on, failing to generate any excitement in me, “Doesn’t this fire you, my boy- the idea of  ruling over minds and … Continue reading Up in the air

Back there

I see a few curious glances darting in my direction, but they soon get busy with their game. I am seen as a stranger in this part of the state. I hope the caretakers do not suspect that I’m a kidnapper, as I stare at the kids unabashedly. They laugh at me, as I slide … Continue reading Back there

Artists’ muse

RAINY DAYS often get artists busy, with their writing tools or easel and brush, as they look for inspiration at the shape-shifting clouds flexing muscles to enter imagination The one-bun is a nice format.

Take-off

She met the industrialist on the beach – a celebrity she respected and looked up to. “I’ve never done it before.” “You can. I never fail to spot talent.” “Are you sure you want me on board?” “An exciting career awaits you. Don’t lose confidence.” This vacation was going to be life-changing. She was ready … Continue reading Take-off

Heal yourself

sarcasm, criticism concealed barbs psychopaths know the power of toxic expressions   victims flinch but cannot escape the impact, cannot wash away stains on their psyche   move out beyond circles of damage stay aware of unwanted marks   heal unfreckle before they become deep unerasable scars https://dversepoets.com/2019/07/29/quadrille-84/

Rainbows

rainbows depict myriad hues of the world and humanity   I wonder what is the message behind omission of black and white   mixing shades redefining norms we play around with nature’s intent https://amanpan.com/2019/07/29/brewnspew-cafe-july-29-2019/

Locus of control

-optimum defined by chemistry -hot or cold determined by physics -imbalanced behavior my biology reacts -actions analysed by psychology -stay calm and still spirituality   where does the locus of control lie? The real me rebels asking for recognition manmade mirrors fail the test https://dversepoets.com/2019/07/30/hot-time-in-ye-ole-pub-tonight/

Ineffectively intelligent

I chuckle at the coincidence. One of the trolls looks like a popular leader. I see reflections of his allies and opponents in the other figures, and start building stories around it. This promises to be a trip with high creative potential. On the way back, I see a rather threatening figure looming large in … Continue reading Ineffectively intelligent
