A Short Story #2 - Grayness

Grayness Unpredictable heart, unreasonable hearts and minds. Falling in love is part of it, part of the unexpected ridiculous thing. Is the happiness of falling in love able to overcome the pain that is given? Does anyone want to vouch for that? No one wants to feel pain, but isn't pain unpredictable? No one wants to plan for the pain, but pain doesn't always take sides. Before it gets too far and before this story gets written down. It should be noted that happiness has not shown its presence, happiness has not felt it is something that is important in this story, and happiness hasn't glanced at this story as a story that needs it. It was still indifferent, uncaring, uninterested in this ridiculous emotionally draining story. Let it go, it will come when it knows fate has written and made it a part of this story. Which part to tell first? A fairy tale prince? An ordinary young woman? The heartbreak of a young girl has literally been waiting for? Or about a charming young a...

A Poem: Free Verse Poetry

 Unrequited The water has scared the girl. She is afraid of being drowned by it. Dodging is the best decision to keep the body. Worry and fear always haunt her mind. Every time she is close to that world. She did not thought about it before. That ocean has made her fall.  Fell so deeply. Someone changed her perspective on the ocean. He is the most bewitching and brave starfish. So brave as to be able to make her love both. The ocean and him. A spooky ocean. The word remains imprinted in the mind. And, he changed everything. He considered himself as the prince of the ocean. The sound of waves. The dark blue or light blue of the ocean. The white sand. Every moment she stared at the ocean.  Reminds her of her enchanting starfish. The owner of her heart. Stars, he shines and enlightens. Enlighten and bring to life a place that has been wrecked.  A place that the owner has neglected. A place that has many scratches and bruises. A place that is difficult for anyone to touc...

A Poem: Free Verse Poetry

  Unreadable A letter. A meaningful handwriting.  Beautiful scribbles in the light brown paper. And feather pen dancing lovingly. Guaranteeing the whole words tied to each other on the recto. With red adhesive wax. As a sign of the shackling of secrets in exceptional paper. Such a unique and complicating handwriting. The illegible and intangible handwriting.  To the crown prince from the little girl full of simplicity. Verbatim until love poems neatly written. Yet doubt and fear have trumped courage and intuition. Falling in love defeats principles. Falling in love threatens the balance of logic and feelings. Falling in love dismisses prejudices. Falling in love hides the deepest heartbreak.
