Their ancient murmurs mingling with the forest’s ominous chorus.
A chilling breeze, as if the very breath of the woods sighed,
Veiled in tempestuous clouds, the stars...

I was an irrepressible and happy young woman, and graceful ballet dancer,
Who lived for twirling on a world stage, as red berries are shrub laughter!

I had practiced for so many years, striving to become the...

My zealous passion for marathons, had me in frequent races,
Striving always for that finish line, and touring many places.

She stopped the minute I noticed.
Odd.

MYSTERIOUS HABITATS


Wonderful is the monument Tajmahal
It buries mysterious human track mole
It bears the memory of a love that compelled
To activate many to shed blood in sweat
It casts the reminiscence of a love forced
To shed blood...

Gentle, like a soft rain
Often silent, soothing away
Fears that trampled 
Over my soul, erasing the little girl
Innocence
With a sense of darkness
A kiss of dread, pouring out the
Melancholy, the doubt
Insecurities looming ahead
In the ripeness of a...

Not because I am afraid of the demons that lurk in the dark
But because I am afraid of the thoughts that take control over...

I  seek a better life far beyond depression
My mental state needs to be repaired
Along with it, I need compensation for being born;
I did not ask for it.

Till then shall love be but my peace...

With a cup of aromal coffee, I'd watch yellow sunrise creep...

as the well soaped Maidens accompliced

TROJAN HORSE

A decade long battle left them exhausted,
Squeezing mettle, dusky vigour fading,
Tired warriors, planning failing,
Dejected lay the war songs ashore!

Wisest of the mighty Greeks,
Amidst the crisis, Odysseus smiled,
The perplexed troops his voice then heard,
‘Retreat shall...

And better yet, if you can dim the light.

The kind of fear that raises hairs upright.
