At the very first glimpse,
my lips forgot poetries in a blink,
and you stood there, waving and smiling
while I was stiffened still.
If only I could move ,
or if words escaped through my parted lips,
I would hold you,
while I stitched words to sing.

DOG AND BONES (PART 1)

The Bones family consisted of five members, Mr. Stuart Bones, the head of the family who runs a clothing business 'Chico', Mrs. Emily Bones, wife of Stuart and a well known singer who has given a number of Billboard hits. They have a pair of twins, both boys, Derek and Zerick, born in 2012.

The fifth member of the Bones family, a golden retriever, Archie. Stuart brought Archie from a rescue centre when he was a month old and Derek and Zerick were just above a year old. All three grew up together. Archie was growing faster than Derek and Zerick and took care of both, Archie was a very loyal pet, like all other dogs.

Stuart often told Emily that since the day Archie has come into his life, his business has expanded and has made huge profits, also the boys look very happy around Archie, Stuart calls Archie his lucky charm.

Every morning Stuart used to take Archie for a walk in the park, where he met his friends and they regularly discussed Stuart's business success and Archie's luck for his master. After their morning walk was over, Stuart would leave Archie home and go to work.

One morning, Stuart had an early morning meeting; he asked his friend Mike to take Archie for a morning stroll, Mike agreed and took Archie to the park. An hour later, Mike arrived at Stuart's house, huffing and puffing with a broken leash, he told Emily that Archie had run away. Emily was shocked, she immediately called Stuart and informed her about Archie. Stuart left work and started looking for Archie in every place and corner, but to no avail, he was unsuccessful, he couldn't find Archie anywhere in the town.

Stuart registered a missing report with the police but even the police couldn't find Archie. Stuart was very upset, he considered Archie as his lucky charm, and being unable to find him hurt him more.

Stuart cursed himself for leaving Archie with Mike. He confronted Mike multiple times for the whereabouts of Archie, but Mike had only one answer, "I was walking Archie in the park and his eyes fell on a beautiful poodle, he lost his control and started running behind the poodle when the leash broke off my hand and within a blink of an eye, Archie disappeared. I'm really sorry Stuart."

As days passed by, Stuart accepted that Archie was gone and might never come back. He started expanding his business and looked well after Derek and Zerick. Stuart's business was still flourishing.

DOG AND BONES (PART 2)

It was almost a year that Archie went missing. One night while Stuart was in bed he heard a dog howling, he found the howl familiar and immediately gushed at the door to check, as Stuart opened the door, Archie came in running and started licking him, Stuart was so happy. He woke up Emily and his kids, who had turned seven.

Archie was back, the family was back to five members again. Archie started playing with Derek and Zerick more often and would secretly enter Stuart's room, a place where no one was allowed.

Archie was very normal even after his return but the things in the house weren't. Stuart had daily complains that some of his files were missing and his room was messed up. Emily told Stuart that no one touches his room except the house help and the house help must have misplaced the files while cleaning.

At one instance Derek saw Archie coming out of Stuart's room with a file in his mouth, Derek took the file from Archie and kept it back in the room. That same evening, Derek once again saw Archie coming out of Stuart's room with another file in tightly gripped in his mouth, he went to Archie took the file and kept it back in the room.

Derek told Zerick about these strange incidents, Zerick ignored him and replied that Archie misses Stuart and so keeps going to his room but Derek thought otherwise. Derek was confident that something was wrong with Archie.

Derek started keeping a track on Archie and found that he was no more an ordinary dog, there was something demonic about him. Derek followed Archie till Stuart's room and sees something unbelievable, he saw Archie moving Stuarts file with his eyes, it was like magic. Derek couldn't believe his eyes. Once again Archie picked up a file and gripped it in his mouth and left the room.

Derek was alert, he was already capturing it all in his video recorder, he followed Archie. Archie left the house from the back door and went to Mike's house and gave him the file. Derek was shocked to see this, he immediately called Stuart to witness everything what was happening.

Stuart who had just reached home immediately left for Mike's house and what he saw there left him shocked, Mike was petting Archie. He heard Mike telling Archie in a grumpy voice, "the only way to know Stuart's business secrets was you my Archie, I've trained you for a year for this and you've delivered. Now, I have all important files of Stuart, it's time to see him begging" as he throws a bone towards Archie and shouts "you're gone Bones."

Stuart immediately left for his home and went straight to his room, locked it from the inside and opened his secret chamber and laughed out loud, "Archie, afterall you were a dog. I knew that you had turned demonic and were working for someone the day I heard you howl, I have known you for six years, you only howled when you wanted revenge. When my files were misplaced, I knew it was you my Archie, I knew."

All of Stuart's original files were safe in his secret chamber, he walked to his window and waved Archie a final Goodbye, while Archie's eyes had a demonic shine.

Such is life..!!

#poetry #writers #review

Cold as ice, hot as fire
Sweet as truth,bitter as lie
You can't supersede but only admire
Some feel happy while others Just cry

Sometimes letting go is not easy
How firm you try
People will always blame you till the moment you die

Yes i can acknowledge you are suffering from lack of zeal
Ergo doing wrong deeds but desperately want to heal
This time will pass and good time will come
You will shine and rise again like the sun

Nothing is more prominent than you
Please don't abstain
Stay loyal to yourself,these airheads will not alleviate your pain

Sometimes facile sometimes you need to strive
Enjoy,live,love,laugh, embrace..such is life..!!
It was stormy, dark night , the earth coming in between the moon and the sun, casting a shadow on the moon. There was Tom, the family's most dear pet wagging his tail standing at the door completely drenched in water. Noone dared to call him a dog. They always assumed he was one of them. And Wayne always played with Tom, took him for a walk, talked with him, played with him. No one in the falmily was as close to wayne as Tom and vice versa. But after his dissapearance, he had locked himself in the room. He was shattered crying all day. He would come down only for basic needs and rest of the time he would be in his room crying. To the delight of the family, Tom had returned exactly a year later. Everyone's eyes were filled with tears and they greeted Tom so happily. ButTom's favourite companion didnt know about his return. Everyone shouted, " Wayne, look who is here." But there was no reply. They went upstairs but he was not there. They searched the entire house, no sign of Wayne. A family which was celebrating the return of Tom, were now worried for Watne. They ran towards the station, lodged a missing complaint, search the whole town, but no sign of Wayne. As the moon was losing his brightness under the shadow of earth, the family lost their everything with the unnatural disappearance of Wayne. Wayne's brother Mat went to the church to pray for his brother's return. He took Tom with himself. But Tom was so disturbed by the sight of church, that he was growling, went impatient and bite Mat and ran awqy. Mat, who didnt care about the wound went inside the church to pray. The Father Jade, saw the wound on Mat's hand. He was shocked stricken as if he had seen a ghost, a demon.
" It is the bite of a demon. It is the bite of a demon." He shouted. Matt didnt know what he was saying. He explained the priest everything. Father went to his house and as Mat opened the door, Tom came rushing over the priest trying to rip his neck apart from his body. But father was prepared. He held the cross from his pocket on Toms head and Matt punched Tom aside. Matt could see the demon inside Toms eyes. Tom fell on the ground and went unconcious. Father held Matt by his hands and told him, " This coming tuesday at exactly 23:26 P.M is the solar cycle, when all the planets are aligned after 33 years. That day Tom will sacrifice his most dear to please the God of Demon. And you have to stop him. Close him in the house. There should be no one in the house. We have to stop him.No matter what."
On the coming tuesday, Matt and his family members locked Tom inside the room. Father Jade made a sacred circle around the house. Matt was standing outside the room and didnt realise he has to move out. But Tom had no choice. He was gaining enourmous power which led to the breaking of the door. He attacked Matt, injured him badly and went for the main door. But the father didnt lose hope. Matt went upstairs crawling and jumped from the window. With all the family praying and father bearing enormous pain and feeling the demonic powers, and Matt being so badly injured the time 23:26 passed away. The family sighed in relief. There was no more beatings on the door. All the noise had subsided. The door opened and there was Tom and Wayne playing with each other as if nothing has happened.
The family took Matt to the hospital. He was all ok. The father Jade began to leave. The family thanked the father for being with them and returning their beloved son. The father while leaving spoke the following words,
" No matter how faithful you are, there is always a demon insode you."
Matt saw those demonic eyes of father jade. It was the same as that of Tom's.

My day began in the middle of an hour, hastily and fighting to get to the doors of the bathroom first was my daily routine.The sun was searing bright, the nature was cool but still alarming the incoming rain.


I got myself ready nearly soon, and then it was my job to take Shero, my pet dog, for a walk. It was the most mesmerising part of the day , He with his tale dancing is little fluffy fur and an urgent need to poo have me tied to this work.


I got his chains, and we soon departed . As always we took the street road to the left which was generally bare, difficult to walk because small holes like holes covered the entire journey, I had to wash his family after I returned.


The sky began to turn grey, lightning giving way to horror with loud sound as if God's stomach was rumbling. No sooner did this happen than the rain was forced to earth as if god was crying hard!


My Shero was really uncomfortable in the rain. My lord! Something did happen the chain he was tied to was broken and he ran as swiftly as he could towards a bleak end.


That was it we couldn't find him, my heart began to thump. I don't exactly remember how it was prompted truly no one does. Still time never stops. Days passed, months passed and it was a yearh.


We often forget about the death of our dear ones but this pain was out of the world. I really missed him! . It was the morning of my birthday. I remember the day was cloudy. All wished me and we had plans for dinner in a restaurant. The day passed swiftly but not the night, we were ready to depart when the restaurant door was open.


Then suddenly I moved into a giant terrifying creature. Yes my dog! You hardly can call that a monster. I say total monster with its fangs projecting outwards and heavily built body nails so long and big the chain I saw was still tied to him .


He barked as if he couldn't recognise us and Oh! He jumped and smothered my day, my mom and now he was one me with its saliva dropping on my cheeks.


Then with a sudden flash I heard my Mom saying, " Happy birthday dear. '' She drew the curtains and I opened my eyes. My pillow was wet as I was dribbling bottles of water during sleep.


You know what we have as a gift for your birthday? Said my mother .I was still half asleep. I replied how will I ? . " You always wanted a dog right Papa and I brought you a dog!"
Title - self love

Beauty turns into beast
Love turns into hate
Besties to strangers and strangers to best mate.

Not having time for yourself but for the rest
Loving someone is easy but self love is the real test.

Nobody going to stay with you forever neither many nor few
What are you seeking from these morons,
When all you have forever with you is only you..!!

Title : The world of imagination


The escape was inevitable. All my senses were suspended, as I decided to dive deep into my imagination. The monsoon had arrived.

I sat next to window to imagine another world. “Yes, I should,” I lifted porcelain as I approved of my own imagination.

The fragrant tea, as I poured milk onto it, it clouded its surface. "Is the reality clouded by the imagination?" I asked in surprise.

I shook my head, and I took a sip as my eyes got fixated outside the window.

Outside the window, down the ribbon like path, I saw wind dashed back and forth like a mad hatter, vigorously whipping the branches of the tree while the buds clung on for their dear life.

The next moment I found my eyes fixed on something else.

Someone in the adjacent apartment. I saw, thin, black ribbons of hair suspended in the air as they dried. Like the clump still dripping and glued to her neck, she paid them no mind. She was reading, and her face contort as she did so. I watched all of it in silent amusement.

In another moment I left for another world. The fast paced world of imagination kept on leaving behind the world of reality, and for some reason I was enjoying it.

Don't give me red roses , it's the colour of blood.
Reminds me of the red flowing through my wounds
and the old scars.
Give me sunflowers, give me a pinch of happiness,
make me remember the sun that gives light,
and not the one who holds the power of burning
almost everything it touches.
Every time I'm hurt, give me a hug,
let some words be unspoken because my heart
won't take another beat if you do .
Ask me what's wrong,
maybe you'll regret that you didn't and I'd be gone-
gone hoping you'd help, chasing vows that you
never meant.
Give me a white rose, a rose for hope, a rose for
peace,
saying you may be miserable now but not for long
you'll see.
A white serenity soothing my heart, the way
you could never warm it up.
So when my corpse lays to be burnt,
burn a white rose and a sunflower along,
which I never recieved in real , neither through
words nor through actions but...
burn it with my corpse,
so that my hope isn't lost and my happiness isn't
gone,
in hell or heaven or some place unknown.
Burn the flowers while i lay dead,
but will you find them then when you're unable to
find them now?

Sometimes I think, how the things will be,
If our lives had background music like the movies we see.
On the choice of music, our emotions will play the role,
But if we want others to listen, we will have full control.
The music should be feeble, but the volume should be adjustable,
To help with mood fluctuations, our playlist should be available!

Think when our crush looks at us or when she smiles;
Violins play in the background with the romantic song for a while.
Or when we crack a sum or get the answer to any question;
Trumpets play the victory music and we dance to that expression.
Or at the time, when we score a goal or hit a century;
The song from our favorite league plays, which we relish in our memory.

Think about the time when we are sad, but we don’t have words to say;
So the sad and grieving music at the back of our head starts to play.
But we also want someone to tell, someone to know;
So we adjust the settings that in someone else’s ears it can also go.
In the same way, we can tell someone whenever we feel alone;
Maybe it can be the solution for those who are depression-prone.

Think about the time when we are angry and don’t want others to mess;
So getting lost in loud metallic music can avoid further distress.
Or when something bad is about to happen or danger is about to arrive;
Sharp thrill music prior will help the humans survive.
And the best part, confessions will be easier with little hesitation,
Only the music will converse, and difficulty will be out of the equation!

These are only a few, but the possibilities are endless,
It can be the future though if we emphasize further stress.
Keeping out the good and bad aspects, it will be great fun,
Also, can be used as a therapy and problem can be outdone.
Still, there are centuries to go for such a thing to happen,
Till then, our imagination will do so from seven in the morning to night till eleven.

My bosom buddy:-
Whenever I look into the mirror
I see the reflection of these 6 years
Those moments filled with joy
Those silly fights and make ups
That undying love and friendship
Those innocent experiences always
Bring a wide spread smile over my face
Your naughty mind hiding a beautiful heart
Amuses me everytime I think about it
That triangular path
Containing innumerable memories
Those long talks and walks
Unending gossips and discussions
Those silly yet innocent ideas
Never fail to make me laugh
You have the most magical mind
Sometimes crooked, sometimes bewitching
Your angelic aura eliminates my misery
And your soft hugs bring me happiness
Time passes by, friends come and go
But this friendship will cover dynasties
Now, let us go onto the stage
And claim the reward given to our idiocies

A world where everyone tells the truth no matter what the consequences is a world full of wonders. It is all so magical and wonderful that justice system will be very natural.

First, there will be notion of equality. Everyone will feel equal to others in such a society. There will be no superior or inferior persons. They will be all be rich by heart and poor by evil.

Second, there will be justice to everyone. When people say the truth, any oppressed will get immediate justice. There will be no injustice to anyone.

Third, which is a negative trend in such a society, is that some professions may be out of trend. Lawyer, policemen, and some more will not be requires in such a society. Any differences will be taken to a judge. The judge will take the facts from the two opposing parties and decide the verdict. Each party will get his right.

So, finally, such a system appears to be perfect but nothing is perfect in gods creation. Every society will lack some features and every society is different from the other society.

Earth suffers a planet-wide blackout as all technology is lost. That sounds like a catastrophe plus bliss.

First thing after reading the prompt which came to my mind, I loose this platform, the online crash course I attend and the lectures from IIT teaches that I get for free from YouTube.

On a larger scale, people faraway from each other loose connectivity with each other, businesses going online go off the track, everything related to technology, as small as a chip to as large as a supercomputer, or as vital as a satellite, suffers their doomsday. No TV, no phones, no AC, no fridge....

Oh man!! Destruction....

Wait, bliss comes too, people faraway are not in touch, so being with people nearby is the only solution. The scene of the whole "chowk" sitting in an open area and talking about day to day activities makes me feel serene.
Terrorists also loose their way to communicate secret information to each other and hide, so terrorism decreases significantly. Countries that claim to be able to finish the whole world, loose the technology which made them boast about themselves.

Just like two sides of a coin, such a phase would also have it's own pros and cons, now I wonder what actually living at such a place would feel like.

It's been a month since that unfortunate incident. We didn't know that rapid increase in technological advancements is not only harming the earth but also hampering the balance of solar system. That day, those outraged mighty creatures, the uninvited guests whom mother Earth never expected came out of nowhere from the sky and destroyed every progress we made since the modern era started.

At first, the whole world went chaos. No one could completely understand what happened. We couldn't communicate with anyone as all the networking system was destroyed. The information flow which keeps the world running was stopped.
Within 2-3 days , all the supply chain also perished due to lack of communication and travel so riots also broke . People were dieing due to starvation with a week . Even the most intelligent ones couldn't figure out what exactly happened.

In 2-3 weeks, engineers tried to put all communication and travel lines back to place but they couldn't do it properly and all we got was the slow paced calling network of old era. Still, it seemed enough to restore the supply chain. The first information which came out was shocking. They said - "Nearly half of the world's population couldn't survive. Increased fear due to hunger and insecurity lead to people killing each other!"

I am writing today not sure whether I'll survive or not because right now humans acting like zombies are ravaging across the city. I hope someone remains alive to tell our story. We have to start from scratch now but I believe we humans can do that. I have full confidence that we will get back to the place where we were a month ago soon.

Thank you

Day 1
Prompt: A man is locked in a room with an orangutan and he is not the trainer.

“Don’t throw me over!” He wriggled and wormed. He kicked at the air and flailed his forearms every which way. Was this his fate? Thrown overboard by two burly crew members of The Jenova?
“I can’t swim! Lock me up and give me to the police when we get to land.” He said still, by now drenched in sweat. The deep waters of the Pacific waited to embrace him. The vise grip of his captors dragged him closer to the sunburnt railings. It was a steamy afternoon. Both men spared their words…
“You heard the young lad! Lock him up”. A hardy voice ordered from behind.
Deli's predicament didn’t allow him to see his advocate. With the speedy redirection of his captors, he learnt that the voice that spoke was not hardy for naught.
“Where do we take him boss?” The holder of Tom's left side enquired.
A damning snicker, “Stowaways are animals, we know that full well.” Said the man whose voice meant Deli’s salvation from the ocean.

The steel door clamped shut. One lock. Two locks, then three…sentenced to darkness and possibly starvation en route the European shores.
His eyes adjusted to the darkness that enveloped him. Thick sweat emerged from his pores…the room didn’t sound like a place with critters. It was dead silent apart from the thumping of his upbeat heart.
“Deli! You have outdone yourself this time.” He said as he slumped to the floor back against the wall. Scanning the room was uneventful…wooden box , wooden box, wooden bo…!?
Something moved. His heart jumped too. The object stilled. Then swayed again. The room began to shrink. It neared Deli. Displacing the boxes and crates at will…
An Orangutan.
“Down boy, Si-si-sit….” Deli began through chattering teeth.
What if there wasn't enough room for both of them?

The plot is good and cambiar as well, an alien invasion like always not friendly , attacking us causing all networks and communication and traportations to fail, leaving all humans in despair and a big uncertainty of what will happen to the human race. But I couldn't grasp what caused the zombie attack , had the aliens spread the virus to cause the human race to suffer.

This is too mixed up , alien invasion, virus attack and world in chaos. This sounds like a mix up of several hollywood scenes from bradd pitts movie on virus, then " I am legend" of will smith and several others like tom cruise story of an alien being intelligent enough to control us.

Would like to read more about how this story unfolds.

There are certainly some mistakes here as well.

I am torn again, for all the different reasons and yet the same.

For the hatred we hold; and the sympathy.
For belonging to you I am to blame.

We don't deserve this earth, let the heavens alone.

When we gloat over death, and wail over sorrows only when it's our own.

Bleed

How long can I hold and pretend?
In your shadow my sun is falling to end.
I am screaming inside, begging for you to see;
That all these words are contorted insides of me.
I'm cut up again, I don't see myself healing anymore;
I bleed and bleed and bleed but it's not death that I abhor.

It's to live with your words that ring in my head,
Echoing through my heart, driving me mad.
But you don't see, you don't care in the least!
For you, I'm nothing more than a tamed beast.
Here you come again at me with a whip,
Pain ripples on my back; I'm loosing my grip.
Sitting on the cold floor trying to pacify myself,
Digging a grave for me today, I'm waiting for help.
Someone to come and hold me, my pieces are falling over.
Someone to give me some warmth, saving me from your cold shoulder.
I bleed and bleed and bleed but it's not death that I abhor;
It's the traces of the things you killed in me that stink and retort.
