POEM: That Let Go

Lovers embrace as the sulfur cloud rises
While a moonshiner does what he does best
The subtle grace of this tangerine escapade
Was still portrayed by their yet hopeful face
I see the blue flame dancing
Not as wild as the fables of the old
But mild enough to get you through the cold
While a carnival of carnivores feast in the corner
Immune to the carousel of mongrels
Never to realize that it's all a repeat
The parade of a century
A floundering zeitgeist seasoned with the curse of pride
All was defined to be turned twisted and molded to use
A silk scarf is two pulls away from being a noose
Once you were carefree but were named careless
Twice you were human but none could care less
While you ponder through the ticking..
The gift of desensitization is priceless
Lovers embrace only when the sulfur crowd rises

SCRIBBLES: Purpose

The wants and desires The needs and wishes If left behind What would be the remains? Will you recognize yourself? Or will you be given another name?

The cycle persists As I do

SHORT STORY: Lit !!

Moments like these seem to always be the ones when the matches don’t light or the lighter seem to run out of gas. But we do try. Oh we must! **strike** **thud** “Excuse me” a voice calls out. She turns around and as if awake from a hypnotic stance, a dimly lit bar slowly reveals itself around her. As if she was backstage inside a theater when a group of stage artists swiftly changed the set around her while a minstrel hummed a solemn tune. But she hasn’t been here before. Has she? The smell of heartaches spilt in wine. The air of victory meshed in ashes. The delights of births and marriages or the grievances for lives lost. These four walls have seen it all. She got up to leave. “Excuse me” the voice called out. "Where is the owner goddammit?" She turns around only to catch a glimpse of herself in the mirror. My oh my! She looked ready and dressed...

RANT !!!

Are your thoughts a privilege? A necessity? An escape? Or just for namesake? Arguments and debates do not ensure intelligence. It's easy to get lost just as it is easy to preach. It's easy to dream as it is easy to just "exist". We all may wish to challenge the norms, theories, ideologies and even facts but never leave out practicality of the basis that you form along the way. Wouldn't it be awesome if logic and revelations were genetic...a passover through generations of sor ts. But the essence of your thoughts will always take time. We can choose to feed our wanderlust but a void will always be there as reason creeps up your spine like those gentle tendrils of a wallclimber that toughens its grip with time...We talk about the universe and the vast possibilities of it...a fairy tale of sorts...a research paper for modern physics...a marvel for astronomy and logy..out of bounds for those making daily ends meet...under a constantly evolving core..its only perspec...
