Shail's Nest

With my connivance you annihilated me… my vocal silence, a potent acquiescence aiding and abetting you in every way… I sharpened the blade so you could carve me with ease in designs you chose superfluous bits thrown away to putrefy where no eyes could reach… My eyes begged you for a swig from the goblet [...]

Words meanings lost in transit create havoc change white to black… Upheavals in closed chambers return favors making strangers of lovers… Broken bits flotsam and jetsam flow down salty rivers seeking salvation… Some others buried in silences deeper than the deepest where none dare excavate… Rascal Love in momentary hiding mischievously laughs in derision…. – [...]

Drawing courtesy Vishakh Mohan Hunger burns scorches and chars Singes my flesh, sears my soul. The fiery flame rises, flares and blazes Turning to ashes, the heart’s desires. I snatch at the scraps thrown my way Clutch at the straws that blow my way Nothing is mine its all half-eaten When hunger gnaws I grab, [...]
