1.  People taking their own photos in all possible poses….snapshots screaming ‘Look at me!’ There’s one thing about people taking your photos, but something else about your being an obsessed you, snapping away, day and night, especially in front of the mirrors! Makes it seem as though you’re trying too hard! Pathetic, I tell you! [...]

Is there any such thing called Luck?

Two men were walking along a busy street.  They were two homeless souls, surviving on people’s generosity, sleeping by the moonlight, scavenging the bins for whatever could erase the ugly croaking of hunger.   It was a particularly cold wintry day, with mist enveloping the city.  Wrapped in their coats and scarves, the citizens were [...]

Stood up

The jazz music in the background, the clinking of wine glasses and the soft hum of conversations flipped over her head.   The waiters, dressed impeccably in their smart black and white uniforms, bustled around, smiling, serving, rushing.   She cleared her throat and smoothed out the folds of her dress.  She re-adjusted her necklace [...]

Unflinching faith in you

  It’s like a whisper Wrapped in subtlety That’s hard to shoulder   Fragile, like crystal Soft, like a daisy Frail, like a bubble   It floats everywhere Easy prey of tongues And mindsets, unfair   Ripped, torn or shredded Or, blocked by mind bungs Easily moulded   Its fickle nature Often, can mislead In [...]

Ode to Mine Muse

  Hear me, Beloved Transparent lyrics To Thou, who art loved   Floating like the clouds Bright like an Onyx A prayer, Thou, enshrouds.   Flowing listlessly Alphabets, letters Above the Abbey   Words and sentences In subtle murmurs On the voyages   Of the Heart, yearning For Thy tenderness Wrapped in Thy loving.   [...]
