White & Black

The sovereign has decided, to put their foot down. The enemy has burnt his bridges, and it’s time they burnt theirs. 

The allies from different regions were invited to the grand reception to discuss the future chain of events. The drawing room gradually started filling. The pressure was building up. Each one had a different opinion, like chalk and cheese, about what should be done, about the invader and the war in their near sight. 

As the sun was above the heads, the reception is in full swing. All the elite from the high society was assembled to discuss their enemy’s black and white moves, the spindles hummed steadily ceaselessly on all the sides.

Becoming ME - A poem

Photo by Steinar Engeland on Unsplash

A few years ago
I always kept running
Running from all the problems
all that haunted me
all the negatives I was succumbing to 
all that hurt me despairingly; 
Searching for the one thing, 
that would set me free 
from all which afflicted me; 
In time, looks like 
I stumbled upon it 
giving myself time to be me 
attaining inner peace and silence 
believing in what life has made me, 
for everything I have become 
and everything I am yet to be! 

Author’s Note: Take time to and live through and accept what you have been through. Give yourself a chance to grieve and heal. Gradually, you will see a new self emerging out of the darkness and you will fall in love with yourself!

ThanksGiving - A poem


I am thankful for a little too many things in my life —
Because I am not alone
Because I have a pie in the sky!

Because there is love & honour
Because there are laughs & tears!

Because I snuggle at night
in the warm moonlight sight!

Because my clothes fit a little too tight
Which means I have a healthy appetite!

Because I pay taxes
Which means I am employed!

Because there are every day chores
Which means I have a sweet home!

Because I have an education
Which means I can read the books on the shelves!

Because I have words wanting to breathe
Meaning I write poems all the time!

Because there is always something to be thankful about 
Which means you are so alive!

Author’s Note: Just a small gesture of gratitude for all that I am blessed with each day! Thank you for all the readers for the support.

A Shot - A Flash Fiction

Photo by Daniel Frank on Unsplash

As he walks out of a rehab centre, pristine and white snowfall accompanies him, when a familiar face catches his attention. A face he was trying to forget, a crackhead from his gang.

He walks towards him & wishes him & in return he gives him a gift —  needle drug shot!

Resentful Escape - Flash Fiction

Photo by Ricardo IV Tamayo on Unsplash

His eyes were cold and lifeless, as he stared at the woman from the other side of the glass.

She could hear him scream, — “Don’t leave me, please save me!”

He was trembling with fear when they tied him up to the chair.

With a bleeding heart, she headed out of the back door, to never return. No one will ever know what she had done.
