Edges of Cracks - A poem

With constellations ever-changing

Those are stars behind the eyelashes

born from fire & stardust

there is a lightning shine in the armor

seen through edges of the cracks!

uNeVen…
making life an eDgY experience
learning to make way around it to fullest,
welcoming human experiences
often we forget broken edges of crayons,
creates beautiful exquisite work of art!

Do you know me? - A poem

Photo by Jeane Liu on Unsplash

Tell me...

Do you know what I could be?

You claim to know me in & out

You have drenched in every droplet that makes “me”

Of my ever-changing course of the rivulet

Streams, rivers, glaciers

Make their own way

But the sea, only where all these come to end!

Streams, Rivers, Glaciers

Have their own ebbs & flows

Unknown to the sea & world

Ocean is not everything,

It is a part of their life’s course of the journey

You cannot judge their tides,

Because you only see the ocean

Not the source, nor the place of birth!

Authors Note: Readers, it is easy to judge a person, or a situation and pass lewd comments or opinions, by looking at the current scenario, does anyone think of — Why? How? Perhaps?

Think twice, thrice, honestly a zillion times! We don’t know what each one of us has been through in our journey of life, be kind to each other, help each other grow and become the best version of ourselves. We are no one to judge an “anyone” when we walk imperfect paths ourselves!

Love in 3 Words

My thoughts on love in a few words:

• Two Souls Intertwined
• Devotion without Lust
• Amour of hearts

Author’s Note: Love can mean different things for different people like chalk and cheese. Nonetheless, it is one emotion we yearn for throughout our lives. To find at least one individual, one soul, who sets your soul on fire and lets you spread your wings to fly :)!

A Cold Wintry Night - A Flash Fiction

Photo by Joël de Vriend on Unsplash

It is a cold winter night, my arms & feet frozen. Sitting by the fireplace in an old dimly lit house, my breathing hastens.

Breathing feels painful. I try breathing from my mouth, it only makes it worse. 

I soon realize, it is water.

The water is getting into my lungs and I am unable to breathe. I can hear only the bubbling sound of water. 

I am drowning. 

I try to focus on my mind to calm myself, to scream for help. Only then I feel my dog licking me perhaps to take him to a walk.

I was dreaming.
