She flickers apprehensively
Sitting tight, in the middle
As if with a stiff neck
Though fully aware of her own frailty
She glances across the room, cautiously
These are testing times for her
The golden glow
Amidst the rich darkness
Emphasises the stark nakedness
Empathising with her ability to blindly pierce through it all
She flows luxuriously down her side
Like lava flowing down a volcano
Creating soft pools of hot slushy wax
A harsh contrast to the hard cold mould she lives in
Much that she adores the heat and colour
The only place she’s safe in is the cold dark
And the very thought of it
Drives a cold shiver out of her shoulders
Down through her sinking spine
Her life’s coming to an end
Warped Mind
My brain, (if i had one) must be some weird, new age, reincarnation thing ... hmmm, yeah, that seems to be the most likely solution!

The downpour started.
Fortunately or unfortunately.
They had to meet.
But they were trapped.
For a moment.
For a lifetime.
Wishing.
Lighting strikes.
They look up at the same sky.
A strong breeze blows.
Carrying their sighs.
The connection is made.
He spotted her.
In the distance.
She looked different.
And indifferent.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
But she wasn’t even looking.
And then as if by reflex. She turned.
Their eyes met.
She smiled.
They had a lot to talk.
He wished the rain would stop.
And it did.

In perfect synchronicity of which so many speak but rarely achieve?

As it turned out she was deaf, blind and mute...she was smiling coz she could feel the raindrops on her...the only thing she could sense...and coz he wished the rain away she will never talk to him!

Unlimited rehearsals.
Persistent patterns. Learning lines. Practising performance. Time after time.
That’s what my life’s all about.
The same melodramatic mess, year after year.
I’m still waiting for the final scene.
I don’t have stage fright.
But I think my time for the spotlight hasn’t yet arrived.
All I need to do is wait.
And get used to the stares, the glares, the stings, the backstabs, the damage and the damage control.
I am going strong. Though the perseverance does swing a bit. Blame it all on PMS. That’s all.
Dear Tiring Torpid Twenties,
I am fed up.
Move fast.
And let me be.
Lotsa love,
J
