Their laughter invisible ripples in the monotonous wind. Their dangling feet feathers of imagination buoying in the air. Their mind running wild like the flooded river. They were harry potter floating on their broom, They were pirates sailing their ship. They were kids and their imaginations were their bliss. The bicycle was old and wretched, … Continue reading Bliss of imagination.

The longest day. (Choka#1)
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com After retirement, he woke at the crack of dawn , habits beat like heart. Hazy eyes at suit and tie, dangling from the peg , like the gaping oblong face. His office bag smells, like steel of train , dried peanuts, sweat and burnt papers. Spiders are now working hard, … Continue reading The longest day. (Choka#1)
Last dance.(Sonnet #1)
Smell of betrayal lingers over him, like rotten tomatoes in my torn shoe. The grey pupils of his eyes screams a tale , a tale of deception and crime , grey and pale. Petals of lotus , lizard's tail , owl's blood. I cast my spell , they avalanches like flood. I trace his grey … Continue reading Last dance.(Sonnet #1)
Swirling melodies.
Melodies swirl when the owl hoots , cricket chirps and the lion roars. Melodies swirl when the leaves rustle and the cascading waterfall gurgles. Melodies swirl when the off-shore breeze whines and unfold mysteries infinite. Melodies swirl when brittle branches snap under our feet and snake slither in the leaves. Melodies swirl when the new … Continue reading Swirling melodies.
What happened to us?

Memories.

Hope.
Pic credit -Mayuri Srivastava. Rain swirled and the lizard hopped out of the mud with a splash, smell of lilies buoyed from the heart of her gloomy flowerbed. She stepped out and let the raindrops crown her maze of eyelash, rain or whipping storm she decided to live before she was dead. ~Mayuri Srivastava~ Nature … Continue reading Hope.
Was it the end?
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Clouds growled, and the lightning tore the sky. Flames rained, and the green woods were set ablaze. Chaos and fear, worries and tears. Was it the end ? Clouds growled, this time water cascaded from the sky. Smoldering woods, sighed euphorically and flames, hissed at rain. Was it the end … Continue reading Was it the end?
Everyday she waits.
Photo by Hakeem James Hausley on Pexels.com Everyday, when the splash of crimson color dissolves in the sky, and the wings of bat cloaks the sky, her silhouette framed in those wooden doors, heaves a sigh. Everyday, during those grey hours she sits at her door, with her needles and her entangled wool. She knits … Continue reading Everyday she waits.

Faded pearls.(Mirror cinquain#1)
Grey rose, cold labyrinth, camouflaged the last drops, of morning fog and kept it safe. Alas, wind gusts, quivered the dew drops and they shone, like pearls kissing the sun, and faded in, the sun. ~Mayuri Srivastava~ Hello everyone , I tried to write a Mirror cinquain . I don't know why but I felt … Continue reading Faded pearls.(Mirror cinquain#1)
