Born Again

 



The shards of glass were approaching her

rapidly and rather dangerously.

It was overwhelming.

She was scared.


She started stepping back as she was saving herself from the cuts.

Still, a piece of glass hit her hand and cut her finger.

She could feel the hot blood dripping down from her finger

as the chills escalated down her spine.

Yet, she was too afraid to open her eyes.

 

She tried opening them a little, but her tears flooded the entrance

and blocked her sight then and there.

It shut down her guts.

It was too much to comprehend. Really.

She got a few more cuts here and there.

And she was surrounded by more fear.

She shut her eyes even more.

Couldn’t open her heart’s door.

 

There came the moment. Very short. Very brief. It was for a moment.

She opened her eyes wide and began stepping forward.

The shreds cut through her soft skin. It was painful. Really very painful.

Yet, she did not stop. She did not falter. She moved only forward.

She kept walking, walking, and walking until that shard storm was over.

Then, she stopped.

 

And turned around.

Saw her shredded skin…

lying there…

all over the place…

hurt…

harmed…

injured…

dead…

 

So were her fears.

Dreams

  Though he cried a little At least he cried a little   Maybe he caused some troubles But always gave the doubles   Dreamt of impossible Behaved unreasonable But with passion incomparable   The more he fight The more the delight The higher his dreams took flight   Fell, trampled over Tricked, tripped, but lost never   Always a believer Always a dreamer - Kayanpri  

Love Rain

I don’t know what’s in the air but life feels good. The uneasiness was following me up from almost two days and I was restless. To heat up the bad, the sun has started boiling up the blood. I felt like my blood, sweat & tears are going in vain and keeping up with the run is really hard. The worries caught me a headache and things worsened up. Today is Sunday. Technically a holiday. I woke up late and suddenly regretted it. Couldn’t find the reason though. Everything was going slow-mo. Nothing unusual but nothing interesting either. You know, it happens sometimes when you can’t find the reason behind something. Today was the day. And then it started raining. “Ah great! Rain!!” My headache screamed in agony. Don’t know why but I never liked the rain. Ever . Shut off my PC and headed towards the balcony. It was pouring outside. The wind was sprinkling the scenario on my face with those rain droplets like it was watering the dull flower. But it didn’t bother me as it always do...
