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

SHORT STORY: Horizons

Contentment defines the majority of us. “Stay in Kathmandu even if it’s for the delicious water that it offers”. They say words have a way to stick with you. They form homes in the deepest corners of your mind library delving in through every corner and gully like that of Patan. Soaked in the rushes of early morning chores and a routine that gave her an alibi of a long time resident, she strode down the road. 6000 days in the making, she knew that it was time her soul heard of triumph and her heart told tales of her vigorous scuffle and patience. The deafening noise and the rising fumes dancing in her pupils were fondly and light hearted when the days were easier to keep account of. Pupils…a funny bunch. A hopeful lot. “Yearn to learn”. She spent her days hoping to make lives better. Education is a must these days and how she had struggled to be the one standing in front of hopeful pupils and ears soaking in……PSSSSSTTTTTT…. the flames went out. 5,999 days of no complaining but there i...

We are prone to ask "why me" Let's see what happens if we ask "why not" "You are only as healthy as you feel" As we measure everything Against our notions Of what it should be Or how it isn't Each passing shadow Is a reflection of your soul Maybe there is no greater purpose And we are bound in a time loop Only as happy as we let ourselves be Definitions..definitons..definitions Put your head down and run Run till you make us proud And point at those who differ This is our self built conundrum I once was obedient I once was forgiving I once was kind I once was living I once was cruel I once was ecstatic I once was selfish I once was a sinner I once was a giver I once was a rebel I once was a king And all i have found is that I am a mere sum of my parts Letting go and holding on Instantaneously Spirals and stardust To be dispersed in every direction But holding on to my conviction Of being humane And if you overlo...

Dear Roberta..

AWAKE!! "You build a cocoon around your mind or your eyes..you have seen a lot..and every new instance or experience ..from now onwards..will be determined accordingly. Isn't everything an extension of your mind...so there is nothing new coming that already wasn't there? We try to perceive things based on what we know..and to take a new leap of faith..well you don't have the time nor the energy anymore... but every new corner does still scare you...you just know...the warmth of this cocoon is your solace..you just don't know what will hatch out of it. Given to fly..you will be..but where will you fly to? You have a need to belong. No matter how much you say otherwise. Do you have a choice either way?" The day started normally. The smell of burnt cigarettes splashed and spliced with flowing drapes reminiscent of Rapunzel maybe.. covering the window..keeping him from seeing what was outside. Sight is our strength and weakness at the same time. The glor...
