The World at Large

-
  The descending sun spooks me, As it reminds me of impending doom. The fate of the world hanging on  the joker wearing the crown. A game of deceit and endless conspiracies, Rigged to make the hidden emerge strong. ‘Come one come all’ The sign bellows. Not one peasant decided to enjoy the menu. They are sinking to fall in their own broken ship. All towing to head into the dark abyss. We enjoy playing the game when it is, Someone else who’s head will twirl if they miss. But when the trigger loads and the target is us. When the bullet wants to grab hold on us. We run so far, without a hitch. We run to never stop to check. What happened to those who tried to save us? What happened to the joker who longs for love? What happened to the magician, is he still sick? The old man, next door, did he get his tip? The world of our species amuses me. To see the world move by so cheap. The moon is now out. It winks at me. The stars shining bright following me. The world beyond our species, F...

A lady's ordeal...

-

 A lady smirked in front of the devil,

Angering him beyond levels,

‘O little maiden, you must tremble before my wrath,

for I am here to put an end to your path.’


The lady’s smirk grew into a smile,

For which the devil’s fury turned into an atrocious cry,

‘O maiden don’t test me, you are destined to die’


His voice bellowed with power but was no match for her laughter,

As she went on with glee, dishonouring the reaper.

Red rings of fire appeared to adorn him,

Wings of jet black slowly caressed him.


The lady stopped, with not a tremble in her eyes.


‘O mortal, what is the secret to your endless blue skies?

People tremble with fear as they think of me,

I appear as the vicious venom in most of their dreams.

Yet here I see a mere woman,

Shadowing me with such might and glee”


The lady replied with a bold voice.

‘You can only just take my life, not my will, not my legacy,

 and not my hope for a better generation of humanity.’

MOM..

No words can describe how much you mean to me. Because I know that no matter how much I write I will still not be able to measure up anywhere close to where you stand. From listening to my endless theories of stupidity to patiently hearing my vexed out thoughts, you do it all! You give me advice when you know I'm scared I've messed up. You give me a chance to speak out even when you don't need to. I have annoyed you endlessly for 14 whole years by doing everything possible to push your buttons and even after all that you still laugh with me, you still play with me, you still make fun of me... To me, you are everything I've known. You have been my rock on days where I feared I'd hit rock bottom, you have been there to wipe my tears and give me a hug. You have put me to sleep on days where monsters and nightmares kept me awake. Thank you ma, thank you for everything! I call you silly names, you do the same. You are my forever 16-year old best friend and I'm so luc...

A SHORT STORY : "3:45 am"

-
“CRASH!”, screamed the night sky, startling Tommy out of a deep slumber. The storm had intensified severely in the past few hours. The sky cried gallons and gallons of tears while Thor ranted and raged with fury. Tommy, still half asleep, checked the bright yellow alarm clock beside him. “3:45am.” he sighed. As he shut his hazel eyes tighter than ever begging his brain to tune off. But no matter how many times he tossed and he turned, no matter how many times he sat up and lay down again, he couldn’t get a wink of sleep. The stormy night seemed to fade into a new dawn, and the electric energy of the previous night reduced to mere pitter- patter of raindrops. The chirping of birds along with the rustling trees that danced with the wind added to Tommy’s dismal. The bright, cheery and radiant atmosphere of a new day was equally matched by Tommy’s unwillingness to get out of bed. “UGHHHHHH SCHOOLL!!!!!!”, the 16-year-old grumbled painstakingly. The clock now said 6:40, prompting Tommy to p...
