The spectacular quotidian
As the alarm buzzed, a dainty hand pushed out of the covers and shut off the irritatingly hyper tune. A minute passed, a head emerged out of those woolen sheets and a sigh followed. With eyes still shut, she moved her body to sit up cross legged. Her opaque eyelids fluttered slightly as she took…

Souls with holes
Few days back, while on a video call with my sister, a term emerged which waxed my head all philosophical. My dearest sibling and the propounder of the phrase, created a quite creative antonym for what we may call as pure souls. She declared the misfits, the ones who scream dangerous feelings as ‘Souls with…

Words Unspoken
I was walking along the corridor, something flashed behind me. I turned and there she was, the vision of beauty. She was petite, slightly so, with dainty legs she was walking around with a confident stance and fire in her eyes. The color of her skin was honey. She was, if it can be described…

Roots, I call mine
My home is tucked in the middle of trees and flowers that my mother has lovingly planted for years. It’s a small pink Bungalow which has seen its children play in the mud, cycling in front of it, making wonderful memories and finally growing up.

Departure from phantasm
Somedays, most days I wish I could bottle my memories. Like heady scents, it shall linger on my senses, wash over my face, breath and eyes.

Unholy
Even though lanky, he was a strong man. The weight of him on top of her was making her nauseous and dizzy. Her slight frame against his robust one, made it impossible for her to even move. She felt as if her lungs would burst without air. She wasn’t certain if the pressure of him…

Beyond transcendence
It is I, who picked up the broken pieces, shredded across for the audience. While the world merry, didn’t gauge the blank pages, I made do with what remained. It is I, who looked across the shattered soul, scattered across for the lying depths. While the fools oblivious, to see the hollowness in the eyes,…

Euphoric Disdain
Dejected, head screams thoughts, thou shall not know. Beckons into a dark path, into abyss. Lands which are shadows. Shadows speak slow. Despondent, heart rumbles with rain, in thy pain. Blood rain, of merciless mindless mercenary. Catastrophe, beautiful nauseous strikes. Strikes fine chords. Dispirited, hands shiver, think of thee, think of madness. Jungle, no sense…

Reveries
As the wind flapped on her face, she smiled beguiled at the passing trees. Even though, it was a rather baking evening the windows of the car were pulled down and her head was almost out of it. Her red scarf was blowing into the torrent breeze, half in and half out. She didn’t care.…
