- a short story
I am a ghost. Well don’t run away. I wouldn’t dream of scaring anyone. In all probability I’d be the one scared stiff if you shouted ‘Boo’ in my vicinity!!
I live in yonder house you see…yes the small neat little one, with the tiny garden in front that lies just opposite [...]

- a story of heartbreak.
I have lost the last chance I took.
They have taken over.
I am powerless.
They tell me what I should do.
I have to obey.
They tell me I have to seal my heart shut.
How can I??
I told them it was impossible.
They tell me I am a fool.
Perhaps I am.
They tell [...]

Dreams…
Of waking in your arms
To the beats of your heart
Every single morn
Dreams…
Of a shared cup of tea
Beneath the sprawling tree
Just you and me
Dreams…
Of my head on your shoulder
Listening to you sing
A song of love
Dreams…
Of the falling rain
Drenching us as it pours
And we kiss
Dreams…
Of being together
Two bodies but one soul
Now and forever
[...]

- a short story.
Delusions. Beliefs based upon a misinterpretation of reality. I live in my world of delusions. Delusions of timeless and eternal love. A love I feel across time across space. You tell me you love me. Do you?? I tell you, I love you. Do I?? Is it all a delusion, your love [...]

Ours was an arranged marriage. Not that I had much choice in the matter. It was the norm those days. So when I came to know that people would be in that evening to ‘view’ me, I took it in my stride.
I had my own views on the subject, of course. Not that anyone was [...]

Money, I have heard my parents mention, does not grow on trees. I found the statement to be quite true in subsequent years, for never did I find one with money growing on it. The statement came in quite handy when it was my turn to bring up my own monkeys… err children. “Money [...]

- A short story
She was miserable. Her heart felt heavy. The tears ready to flow. He doesn’t love me. I know he doesn’t love me. Loneliness enveloped her. Unbidden dark thoughts filled her mind. Cutting through it, like a ray of sunshine escaping the dark clouds, memories of the times she had felt so close [...]

Lines deeply etched
Skillfully engraved
On palms visible
By hands invisible
Origins unknown
Ends unseen
Making us move
In a predestined groove
The reasons clouded
In mystery shrouded
The spawn
Mere pawns
Lines once drawn
Never redrawn
The master craftsman
Having provision none
In his infinite grace
To alter or efface

Run little girl run and hide
Fearful monsters roam outside
Close the windows pull the blinds
Shut the door and stay inside
The swirling mass of inky black
Slimy hands waiting to hack
Evil eyes and dripping fangs
Wicked laughter deafening clangs
Monstrous trees standing tall
Branches spread to scratch and maul
The scary world holds them all
Do not venture out at all.
Lies and Deceit [...]

Having been reading The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy just before dozing off, in all probability I should have been dreaming of Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two headed three armed Galactic President who I am told has been voted the Worst Dressed Sentient Being in the Known Universe for, hold your breath, a total of seven [...]
