While the Sun marked the end of its journey for the day, colours vermillion, saffron, magenta and plum painted the skies turn by turn until the deep blues and blacks took over. Such untarnished beauty did not for once in my life pleasure me. I had lived multiple lives till I met you. I was whatContinue reading “The Web That Killed.”

Still looking…
Silently he stood, wrinkled eyes wide, mouth pursed, Putting together the world piece by piece. The trees had grown up only to be sheared, The jungles turned into concrete. The view from his window of nesting birds, Had been replaced by hoardings of beautiful girls. The balcony of the next house never opened, The childrenContinue reading “Still looking…”
Your eyes.
