The Hope Undying

Long lost for hope, she felt unhinged.
Cries all-over, the savior was losing.
Wait for that hint was unending,
The universe too was undependable.

Lot of suns had set;
So did those moons,
Yet the stone remained unturned.
But the faith wavered never.

The gaze stuck, at that horizon,
Those barren rays of sun
And vacuous shimmer of moon.
The dollop of hope, never served.

Yet the time had no mercy,
That shiny countenance
Rested her head. Petrified.
The mildews out-grown.

Just when it was serene
Something simpered.
Threadbare, she was. If only
She had time, she lamented.

    A lot to take in. Like how you wrestle to bring it together.

      Because if we just bring everything together, we are set to move on ! I think that is what matters at the end ... Thanks for reading LaTonya :)

    Dittos to LaTonya. Layers of mystery yet to be unwrapped.

      I believe this could be applied to any situation of pessimism, situations where you are trying to cross the river holding a thread ... Thanks for stopping by Kathleen :)

    This is very deep and layered. Feels like fear to start something new. Time passes quickly when we are frozen to act. I like the writing. Just peeked at the title again and that opens a new meaning. Hard to reach it sometimes. Tough place for anyone to be, as you noted. Great write!

    Thanks Maggie ... Yea, I didn't realize it had another connotation to it... " Feels like fear to start something new. Time passes quickly when we are frozen to act"... Sometimes we havre all the means otherwise but the only thing lacking is "us", may be we are very tired or just very scared. So glad you liked it !

My life in the box

I live in a box. My world may seem strange to you. But, it’s not as bad as you think. It does have holes in it which lends me some fresh air from time-to-time. You may think I must be scared of the big-burly cat living on the outside but I am not. We are kind of best friends. I can listen to all the chatter from outside.  But now I can close my ears whenever I want to without anyone seeing. The holes, I must reveal now, ain’t my best friends either. They complicate things for me because I can’t feel the total darkness here because of them. Just when I am about to, rays of sun from these holes try to illuminate it down here for me as if I am some impotent chap, not capable of doing that on my own. They just don’t get it! So if they are not going to stop playing this naïve game, they are going to get a worthy opponent in me. And so in retrospect, I plastered few of them with black paper. But now, right this moment, I want to live out in the open again, enjoy the warmth...

Trifecta: Dream Dream, come again !

He had dreams. Many of them! Everytime he’d fail he’d spawn few more. But he had jotted them all down so when he achieves his first he could say, “Life was worth it!” ________________________________________________________________________ Link to Trifecta Homepage:  http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/ This is my submission for this weekend’s  Trifextra challenge . We had to write exactly 33 of our own words inspired by the following quote from the book we could win in the WBN  giveaway. Good luck! “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”  ―  Paulo Coelho ,  Alchemist

My SUPER-Man !

~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~ This is my response to Trifecta’s weekend prompt: This weekend we’re having some fun with the prompt, some super-powered fun, that is. We’re asking you to write the origin story to the superhero of your choice in exactly 33 words. I was so confused who to write about. I had so many of those qualities in mind. But, I mentioned only the best I had liked. May look out of place, but 33 words were too cruel this time.  This is my SUPER-Man!  ~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~-~~~ Tormented past, never complained. Didn’t know he could save then. Thus the Growl. Sketched the tormentor Like a Marionette. Which he then hung upside-down. Never uttered anything ill, So words had Midas touch.
