Sleep

The night felt weird.The whole town had lost its sleep. Too much food , booze , sex , reading or gossip exhausted every one but no one could sleep. It was neither fun nor funny anymore to be called insomniac. Sleep Gods had their lesson taught in a single night. everyone slept well for ages after that.

A dream comes true

Some words were left untouched, yet the lines were ready. There was a nervous cheer in her fingers. The stained pages lie neatly stacked in the imaginary room she lived in,the last few weeks. She stepped out of her shell excitedly,welcomes by his waiting arms and proud smile. A part of her dream was finally live.

*Love and hugs*

Loved and lost

Love was no longer a word,
it was him, me and “the world”
we belong , we do;stay strong , will you ?
the monologues continue,
but love was never lost;
it was us against what not.

 

You would hope It to remain,
I did.
not him.

You think I am broke ?
Of course I am.
and him.

Story of interest

“super hero or wonder woman ?”

“Not even your favorite cat woman”, she laughed aloud.

“Then what is the story about ? Who is more interesting ?” he asked

“funny you should ask ! Are you not perfect for any story”.

“you will tell stories about me?” he was excited.

“We will” and they sat chatting all evening.

Beauty

To her , anything beautiful was art in making. The eyes greedily took notice of each line the creator made or bent, some exotic some just a pleasure to watch.  Often, when she stood naked in front of mirror,  she wondered how could he love her shapeless body . He wrote about beauty of her tears those nights.

At the Grocer’s

She picked her stuff like colors – yellow bell peppers , green beans , cottage cheese , ripe tomatoes , onions , and lot of spices. He watched her with a curious look.

Finally he dared to ask , “Darling, are you cooking tonight ?”
“Not today. But very soon I will.”
“Then this shopping ?”
“My cooking classes begin tomorrow.” she proudly declared.

Prompted by vivekisms to write a 55 word story  on “At the Grocer’s”

She – a lady I know

Silently she hears
from people unknown
of things, men and women
others are jealous of;
of colors and fabrics
and the patterns worn;
of this and that and more,
she listens,smiles
but will tell you not;
she knew it better
even before you told;
she’s forgotten by most
but her senses still
can beat yours.

Written as a dedication to one of my relatives I love to talk to. She maybe not one of the best persons I know but she indeed has a brain worth being jealous of.

“Pet” search

“It has to be here”
“Then Why can I not find it”
“This is the road of riches?”
“Yep. More shops. Less people”
“I swear, the pic was taken here”
“Where exactly was he standing ?”
“Staring into a shop’s display”
“Gosh! that would be the toy shop”
“you and your pet! teddy lovers”
“Found him”
“Glad”

I gather my thoughts #smallStone #aros (day 5,6,7,8)

your lips on my head ~
bond of love i wanted ~
bond of care i cherish

Pages will turn tonight
your memories will burn in peace
I forgive the hurt

the flowers bought
but delivered not
still smell of her

Brilliance of dreams
shine in her sleepy eyes today;
she was in his arms

October

October.

Month of Birthday.s -

Mine on 13th ; My professional life on 23rd.

My parent’s relationship on 26th.

A month of celebrations -

birthdays, anniversary , festivals, holidays.

A month of wait -

Waiting for one wish,

waiting to hear from him,

A month of preparations -

of gifting your loved ones,

of hiding disappointment

of another year – same or not.

Radio

Exams were just a week away and she could not study long hours without feeling sleepy. One night she turned on the radio after hearing her favorite song play in the neighbourhood. She kept the radio on for hours as she studied and not once she wanted to quit.

 Since then, the love affair continues.

 

 

This is for G-Man’s Fridayflash 55.

Have a musical and lovely weekend all of you  :)

Same

“I always thought, you would be married by now.” ,  he said, smiling at her.

“I hoped so too”, she replied, avoiding his gaze.

“Then why not ? I told you I don’t love you”, he said little impatiently.

“I do”

“You should have said , I did , not do”

And they both laughed. All was still same.

This was inspired by my own story “Wait” , for which I thought this could be an alternate ending.

Gifted curse

It’s a gift and a curse” he said, handing me the drink. I had no energy to hear him but I did . After all, when all had left , he looked back and stayed for me.

“Each wonderful evening ends with such mess”, he looked around and laughed. I just let out a sigh of agreement.
