Moon and the Night

Oh you shiny, crescent orb
Hanging in the sky.
Don’t you have it right yet,
Lovers tarry, and pray for you.

You look fatter, today than then
Do you worry, fret not.
The night hears you always.
She could just be sewing her veil.

Oh my friend, I miss you today.
Only now I know you are swept.
You are happy, I am ecstatic.
A true romantic seeks love out.

Yes you are back, tell me The story.
May be one day I’ll have my finished.
To swoon, to feel, to share your joy.
Every love story deserves a keen ear.

You mustn’t be scared towards end.
I know it’s hard to repeat everyday.  
You may dissolve but only after
You merge with the starry night.

Be happy my old, dear friend.
Fortune showers on the blessed few.
To melt into the arms of your paramour.
And to do it every night, oh so few!

    "She could just be sewing her veil" was a particularly striking image. Loved the personification and the metaphor of the night as a veil.

    You may dissolve but only after
    You merge with the starry night. <-- great, it makes e think of when the moon is dark during the wax and wane cycles

Trifecta : Rain that saved her ! - Episode 3

It was a Saturday, a normal day-off for everybody else that she had gone to the office with the dying hope of her project meeting its deadline, that they actually met. Both have been working in the same offices for quite some time, more like a couple of years, even sitting in the adjacent cubicles but they had barely interacted; except from the occasional hi’s and the good mornings’. There was always a reluctance, a sheer hesitation in his eyes even when they would rise in order to wish her the same. To everybody, he was just another workaholic who would move out of his cubicle, make a beeline to the pantry, take coffee, and make another beeline back to his place. So, that day, just for company’s sake over lunch, she asked Vishal to join her. And since then, everything had started falling out of place. She had expected it to be a sour company, a dull conversation if at-all. Out of courtesy,they offered each other, Vidya offering him her self-made  matar-paneer  an...

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.
