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...

Roaming the monoliths and statues of history,
I find myself staring blindly,
At the colourful reagents that splatter itself,
Onto legacies of fairies and shoes made by elves.

They said there lived a girl of ravishing beauty,
Sleeping soundly with a curse of agony.
Or how about the one with the seven tiny men,
A tale of a princess escaping from her hell.

They said mirrors could talk and teapots could fly.
They weaved fictions of beasts and crystal slippers abandoned at night.
A pumpkin to a carriage or a mermaid without a voice.
I wish I could have heard more about their lives.

I wonder sometimes of all the things in our life,
If one ‘Bippity Boppity boo’ will soon change time.
I wonder sometimes if I could stay in a hidden castle,
Where magic is eternal and reality is not so common.

In times of such mass death and despair,
I wonder if I could disappear to a more happier land.
But what can I do? For there is no magic godmother,
Just me, my words and my imagined world of blooming flowers...

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...
