House(Micro poetry and spoken word)

That dark well in the courtyard

is like a monster

as it devoured my sister

and never spat her out

that dark window sill is

blackened by my mother’s elbows

as she waited patiently for my father to arrive

those cracks in the basement door

plays my shattered memories

like a movie on a broken reel.

I try so hard to forget

Those stairs like the inside of the snakes

has devoured my happiness

This house is painted

with the handprints of blood

this is my house of pain

I don’t call it home anymore.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts. I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones. I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly. Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation. Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.
