The Morph ...

"I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth." ... #Ovid #Metamorphoses
Just a pile of dust ...
A major part ...
Just my skin ... #GoFigure

The Thrill ...

Nothing beats the high ...
The high one gets ...
On being with a gangster...
The Thrill of the kill...
The power over a powerful person...
The Thrill that can kill...
Yet, women do it for the high it gives...
Not for money nor for love ...
Just the thrill of being powerful...
Powerful enough to make a powerful man bend ...
Aha! The surge of adrenaline when the world fears you coz' ...
The most powerful man revers you ...
The gangsters mob...
The authorities...
All bowing to her ...
For the gangster bows in front of her !
The Thrill of the kill... #GoFigure

The Shadow of Death !

Creepy as it may seem...
Creepy as it may sound when heard ...
But it is true...
The Shadow of Death exists ...
It remains embedded in our subconscious mind...
Only emerging to kill once again...
Again and again...
All it knows is bloodshed...
The Shadow of Death ...
It's hand crimson with the blood of the lot...
The lot that has sinned ...
Is it a man or a woman?...
No one knows except the Shadow of Death ! #GoFigure

The Walking Dead !

There's a pandemonium...
The result of a pandemic...
Endemic to human fraility...
A sickening disease of the mind...
The walking dead...
Zombies existing only to die...
Freedom lost...
Caged while the birds and bees roam free...
The Earth is healing?
No...
It's revolting...
It's taking back what man took...
Not by force but man's own doing...
A laughter echoes through the concrete jungle...
Behind grilled doors and windows...
Pigeon hole existence ..
Nothing but the walking dead! #GoFigure

The Chopper !

Chop chop chop ...
There it goes high up in the hair ...
And then, bang on target on the board...
The chopping board, silly ! 
The multi purpose board ...
The multi purpose chopper ...
Shining steel ...
Sharp and raring to go ...
Rearing it's head up ...
Only to fall down hard...
On the victim of its blow ...
An innocent vegetable or a piece of steak ...
Or the thumb of an infidel bastard...
Choice is yours ...
What you choose ...
A vegetable or a piece of meat ...
Or an unfaithful one ! 
She made her choice ...
She rose from her ashes ...
And she flew up ...
Soaring high up in the sky ...
Towards the blazing Sun...
It was acceptable to burn her feathers yet again ...
Rather than suffer in silence !

A much needed break...

The past year has made one feel differently about everything ...
Be it life or relations ...
Catapulted from a busy urbane life ...
To a life of laid-back attitude...
Nothing is permanent ...
Neither you nor another ...
What changes overnight; none can predict ...
So, might as well wake up smiling ...
Prepare your morning cuppa ...
Put up your legs on the ottoman ...
And, relax ...
Take the day as it comes ...
Work or no work ...
Enjoy your time away from the maddening crowd ...
Enjoy your sabbatical ...
Relish the joy of solitude ...
A lot ain't needed to be happy ...
A lot can happen in a moment ...
So, sit back and relax ...
Soak in the morning rays ...
Watch the various hues of the sunrise ...
You never know if it will be your last ! #GoFigure

Wassup Doc!

The sunset years are fun!
You meet lovely people along the way ...
The journey is full of anecdotes ...
Fun and frolic...
A few lovely moments...
My space, your space; talks...
But, eventually; a large entourage of smittened souls ...
All waiting to grab her attention...
It feels nice! 
Yes, surely it does...
It raises the self esteem...
The alter ego gets a boost ...
It's fun...
The journey into the silver sunset! 
Currently, there's a lot in the pocket ...
Willing to spill out ...
One being a Colonel...
A couple being Docs!

The Reluctant Homeschooler!

The innocent yet clever eyes...
An eye for detail...
Eyes that saw through all...
The eyes of a child...
Yes, she melts upon seeing those eyes!
She wasn't ready for the new role...
The role of a Homeschooler...
But, she couldn't say no ...
She isn't the naysayer ...
To a new challenge ever !
Trying times have tried her patience...
It's tested her will...
And, finally she gave in to those ...
Beautiful eyes ...
The eyes that melt her heart!
