Arkar && his Angkasa

Sri Vi S

What was the hug !! It wanted to know what That meant, Curious ! No feeling, no dread Just curious !! Felt warm inside No touch, no breath Sheer breathlessness Then out of nowhere, That surge of joy, Oh but when would that be, Timeless pain – Angkasa stood straight-backed on the small flat stone steps leading out of the Ksar. She wore her favourite lilac tunic embossed with strands of silk. Her ears were perked up keenly to listen to footsteps. If one would have looked from afar, they could have mistaken her for a beautiful and graceful ...

Vistia waited

Sri Vi S

Submitted to Contest #202

He did not turn around She did not see him Looking at her From the bus --- Pricking eyes, A dent She waited !!! Manna was deep in thought. He had seen her from a distance. He knew he would find her there. It had been a few years, a recluse in marriage. He thought he had camouflaged himself well. She looked older yet spritely he mused. Vistia was walking on the sands of the beach at the time he saw her. For a long time he was mesmerised by her appearance and somehow he felt so drawn to appearing in front of her just to stun her. But he co...

Sri Vi S

Submitted to Contest #194

It was 248 years then It will be 248 years again When was it 0 or -0 - Never or Ever !! Where there was a square peg Was a round hole, Was it round and square – Round in a square, Round or a square There were only discerning pairs of eyes. No soul knew when Buumi was born. She emerged from the background of chaotic harmony. Buumi was the only one who knew that reason why she was given a fresh start. And her mentor “KeRa” was that magnanimous effect who had appeared at the time when she was mentally and emotionally ready. Buumi sensed al...

Sri Vi S

Submitted to Contest #189

It was not to be It never was nor Will it ever be. Trista met with Saul but she did not know where it was. Aeons – she was lying down on sandy beach of “Zillionite”. Here there were only nights. It seemed as though the sky was showed its brilliance generously. Why so !!. The place was never had a sun. She had been transported from Earth to Zillionite for no reason.

Chait-&&-Manas

Sri Vi S

Submitted to Contest #185

It was looking inside, Peering into the light, Standing by the pier, Seemed like water, Shimmering like waves, Of mist moving, Slow and steady. It thought, When would this stop !! Seemed like it never would, It felt as though covered, In a dome, That was hard, That could never break !!! The conversation never ceased. It was making rounds after rounds as the physician would. The physician kept returning to check on it. This hazy character with whom it had a strange relationship. It felt embarrassment most of the time but few times even...

Sri Vi S

He walked into the past Into the whole, Where she could not enter She met him on long bridge In the middle – He passed by glancing at her And that was his lifetime. A longing to belong to the whole – He turned his back To walk into the beyond Crossed the bridge, Beyond the mountain – Still whispering from everywhere !! He met her multiple times. And then Walked away into Nothingness. Aadne felt a presence, always felt it. A beautiful, pleasant, comforting, loving presence. A warm aura around her, constantly moving with her in the spac...

The Plough and the Seed

Sri Vi S

What is a Year? A sheaf of corn – That grows in Abundance. What is New? The birth from A seed – Where was the seed? I do not know, I grew into the tree – Standing tall and dense, Luxurious and dark. Impenetrable to my Root or my seed So where is my seed? The soil is rich – I need to plant myself, But where can I find the seed? Bumi (Earth) was looking around all over the farm for Mira (Peace). When she could not find her there, she thought to look inside the wandering forest. Really, the forest that moved around. The people who li...

The life of A lost journal

Sri Vi S

Submitted to Contest #173

Dainis waited at the side-lines thinking to himself. Who was he? Where was he from? Or at least where was he now? A zillion questions razored through his head. He was about to be born you see. He had bided his “time” for that special container. His mind did not fathom the form he would take. This was no one person task. There had been multi-threaded cogs in that macrocosmic giant wheel that had to be set in motion. The interesting fact was that he remembered this day in the million years he had been born. Earlier times he would just be there...

Where is my horizon!

Sri Vi S

Submitted to Contest #170

I drove to the edge of the cliff LongHope in my rented camper van. This was the most unplanned journey. Prior to setting out on this sojourn, I was going through a mind-set shift and an inner turmoil, fired for a new beginning. Yes, also a sudden inner urge to get going and adventure. Seven years prior to this day, my son was young and innocent, so I had to be around him to care for and nurture him. As he was coming to 20 now, a man of his own thoughts and actions. The breaking of innocence had happened a few years before. I visua...
