Sun and the clouds were having a tiff
with the sun trying to win the battle
Clouds weren’t ready to take it lying down
and both decided on a face-off
Eyes jealousy
Grey life
Pale heat
Pellucid quest
Solitudes wish

The white sands were a magnet for tourists,
while activities like paragliding and scuba diving were fun, hardihood was key
They loved lazing on the beach
and getting scuttlebutt from friends,
When they were bored
they acted as if all the information was recondite

A team of two dancers, a team of two friends,
they always hung out together
But punishment was an echo of her feelings,
when her friend’s actions were too much to not bother
Forgiveness meant being cordial and working in tandem
in the interim both of which weren’t acceptable to her,
And so with time, the wedge between them got wider
and wider and finally their relationship was wiped clean

“I am tired of the vitriol he spews whenever he talks. He seems to have taken quite a bit of advantage of the freedom he was bestowed with.”
“That’s so true. Some of his behavior with his fellow students and even seniors has been atrocious to say the least. And just the other day, he and his friends ended up creating such a ruckus in the canteen library.”
“We look at him through the wrong end of the long telescope of time”
Renner had been selected as the president of the school committee due to his all round performances in academics and sports. It was a unanimous decision. But little did they realize that he never knew the way to conduct himself when given a lot of responsibility. The school committee became his personal fiefdom so to speak as he did what he desired.

Tranquility is
the new luxury though one
shouldn’t be lonely too
Tranquility is
all I need for keeping my
dignity always
Tranquility is
a choice but one needs to be
chary of strangers
Tranquility is
bliss when one can even hear
the howl of the wind

Another life, another situation where the genotype influences the phenotype,
Where physical characteristics are more important than anything else,
Another death, another situation where all we are left with after a person’s loss is gripe,
Where we never cared for their well-being when they were alive and are left with nothing but their smells

Having the penchant to excel despite rivalries all around
got rewarded with a trip of a lifetime,
Unable to handle the winter, he sensed that
this was the change he had dreamt about,
Drowning himself amidst a blanket of sunshine
he felt pure bliss.

It came as no surprise to anyone when she entered the shop and found it inhabited by fluffy cuddly creatures. She had always seen a lot of people bringing their pets or kids coming to the shop to play with them time and time again. In presence of these creatures, the kids seemed full of verve. On full moon nights, the shop used to organize pet friendly events for people to play and bond with these creatures. Their aim was to move thoughts of animal lovers away from the froth in the name of animal protection by other groups. Though the shop’s owner knew that his shop was in imminent danger from these groups, it didn’t stop him one bit. He was more than happy working in the shadows of others to do his bit in taking care of these creatures.
Summer was at its
peak though without power, he
slept beneath the moon

People rushed into hospitals with a mystery illness,
Doctors lost their bearings as hospitals filled up,
Masks and PPE suits were in short supply,
Roads emptied up as people sat home,
Money dried up as companies and countries gave way
People didn’t have enough food to eat as jobs were lost,
It was a pandemic within a pandemic,
Years of disagreements between people were brought out in the open,
Differences between the haves and the have nots kept increasing,
Unfortunately some suffered much more than the others,
The pandemic had shaken the world in a way not seen in generations.

Time was nigh as far
as her plan of starting a
garden was concerned
She didn’t deviate from
her plan one bit despite the
proffer of a team
She made sure to clam
up the others saying that
it was in her mind
Once the idea
germinated in her brain,
they met as agreed
