Happiness rains from the sunny azure sky.
'Still friends?'
His words stench the pleasant air,
Diffusing toxicity into her heart.
'I guess so.'
She buries her face with a dead smile.
Her breath felt heavy,
Like an anchor heaved on and off board.
His lips flicker in a...
The clouds wove together on the lush evening sky like the long train of a bridesmaid's pink chiffon dress, trailing all the way into the golden sunset, etched in the middle of the glistening ocean. Cool breeze frolicked the deck of the ship, playfully ruffling light skirts and fumbling through ...
Saturday was not a good day. Saturday meant dreary rehearsals. Saturday meant going over a long list of things that she didn't have. Saturday meant dishing out the little money that she had saved all week. Saturday meant all the dreadful things tightly zipped together.
For Maya, life was not...
Tying her own shoelace isn't her piece of cake,
But strutting in those high heels is her cup of tea!
She smiles and pouts and waves and poses,
Swathed in enough sparkles to sink the stars.
Her innocence is carefully tucked behind her ears,
Hidden by an array of bangs and extensions
That...
Yes, I'm high.
But not on coke or marijuana or heroin.
I'm high on all these black lettered words,
Sprawled generously on the papers and boards.
Yes, I hallucinate.
But not the type in which you lose your head.
I see Harry Potter, Alice and Scarlett O'Hara
dueling the Red Qu...
In the wet blackness,
Stood a vending machine,
Its light glowing brightly as ever,
Dutifully flaunting rows of canned drinks
To the bellowing winds and icy water,
Shunned by the rainy night,
Like a cringing salesman
With a door in his face....
Once upon a time,
The moon absconded from the
Sky, trusting the stars.
A pretty maiden
Stood by the chiseled window,
Portraying the night.
The bloodshot eyes gleamed
In the unnoticed darkness,
Like the Big Bad Wolf's.
Her pink lips had lied;
Unlike Pinocchio's Sins,
Her no...
Dear First Best Friend,
Remember, how we used to play for hours and hours in your backyard?
You were my first best friend. In my life, I have made a only a very few best friends and I keep losing all of them very quickly to my competitor, time.
I have no memories of when and how we fir...
Soft golden hue paints her face,
Camouflages the sorrow,
Clinging to the corner of her thin lips,
Weary of wearing the complaisant smile of evanescent comfort.
She sits by the child's bed,
Her tired hand runs through its shiny brown hair,
Whose luster slowly fades away with every passin...
When the first ray of the waking sun
Penetrates the tranquil dew drop,
Dwelling on the jade leaf of a beautiful red rose,
Your cherubic face will hover,
Blushing baby pink over the flower...
A lovelier sunrise in Kashmir;
And in those exotic eyes of yours,
I behold the very sun;
Glowing glor...
After a despairing winter comes a joyful spring that gives life to the bright yellow dandelion that means life instead of destruction. That’s what my mother keeps telling me. But the scars of the snowstorm do not completely disappear and the faint vestiges remain forever. Still, life goes on. She ...
R.M.S.Titanic...
They called it the Ship of Dreams,
it sailed along like a tranquil reverie.
Some said it'll reach the States, some questioned it's destiny.
The dreaded night arrived at last. A powerful hand, a Demon's hand struck the sailing vessel, crushed it from the inside out...
