The Twilight Soul

When my droopy petals begin to drop
And try to slip very gently into

The warm cuddling arms of Morpheus
Alas, I am warned not yet
For the fallen angel has shaken me
Yet again.

Rage and thunder, my soul
While the world sleeps like a peaceful baby
Screaming in the twilight silence
Lest my soul be your captive
Of your wicked midnight rendezvous
Grappling and clinging to the last breath
Alas, one that broke free moments ago
Nibbling away on my peace so tranquil

His claws piercing deep in my faint heart
Leaving a sharp pang, throbbing so tenderly
A fresh wave of painful agony
Flowing through my tired veins

The tormenting demon, you ask?
One so merciless, and heartless
Lest there be a creature of that sort
For it is none but the
Unbeaten foe of mankind
The bitter souls of twilight
That rob you of peace and calm
The dancing swirls of worry
Strangling my spirit, in iron chains
Much to the struggle, to break loose

Sleep, my dear child
Forget the choking nightmare
The haunting souls shall pass, too
Hush your chaos, let the petals close
And let the tiny dewdrops protect you...

Baby footprints on time

Hello readers! Here's some really exciting and heartwarming news - Fledgling is turning one! No matter how many things we have done or achieved, those 'first-times' always capture a special place in our hearts. That first-time element is what drove me to write this thoughtful letter to my soul. This post marks one of my most emotional moments, hitting a new milestone with my most cherished partner in this journey, my dear Fledgling. It's been a year since we hatched open, taking a first glimpse of the outside world as soft sunshine peeked in at dawn. Now, before we knew it, we had started flying across the cliffs! It has been an amazing roller-coaster ride this year, definitely not one without potholes and bumps. But the thrill of turning one with something I hadn't even considered urges me to write more and more, as thoughts and feelings gush through. This journey has been a passionate one and we have also remarkably improved over the months of over ...

Turning Terrific Twelve!

Hi guys! I have crossed yet another milestone! Today, I'm turning twelve! From the time I was in my mother's womb till this very moment, these twelve years have been absolutely exciting and adventurous. The experiences I've had have taught me life's greatest lessons that will always be in my pocket throughout my journey. Turning twelve is often viewed as one of the biggest milestones in a person's life (stepping into tweenhood and much closer to teenage) as it is the last birthday one celebrates as a child and also the first one feeling like a tiny adult! Though I like thinking and planning ahead like an adult would, I still feel, learn and create with the heart of a nine-year-old perhaps. The innocence and creativity of a kid is always greater than the arrogant know-it-all attitude of a teen or adult. I definitely do feel much more matured by thought and response today. I have evolved as a person. Hitting twelve, I suddenly feel so grown up (alm...

Simplicity of truth

Hello everyone! Do you believe in miracles? Well, I didn't until last week. So read on to know my story. Just a couple of days ago, I had my first book fair experience and unexpectedly bumped into some of my favorite authors and orators. My eyes scanned every stall for the novels I had listed the day before and for the posters I had wanted for my bedroom. I did manage to get my hands on a couple of novels at Penguin and many other publications but only after a few hours did the magic happen! Notionpress' contest rush notice somehow caught my eye and I instinctively walked in to enquire on that. That's when I met my now-mentor Ms. Meera Barath, the mind behind Mayaakatha, an engrossing collage of thought bubbles. I had no idea she was an author, so I walked up to her and told her that I was searching for a new writer to explore and whether she could help me find some. That's when she took me to the stand where several copies of Mayaakatha were placed. S...
