Today’s prompt: Write a piece of prose or poetry that uses the words black eyes and cold winter rain.
The syncopated pitter patter of this rain on my tin ceiling
is weaving a symphony, like the fleeting touch of the thrumming harp wire;
a constant reminder of the scattered memories making their way
through the thin sluices of my corrugated roof
my window frame getting battered by the gale is an unbroken reminder
that there is a dream birthing in the black of my eye
the swirling surreal dream shimmering as they dazzle in my eyes
are contesting the festive lights decorated throughout my sepia tinged room
These little blurbs of serenity and incomparable joys have taught me that
nothing stays forever, even the boisterous gale battering the pain in my windows.
A haunting reminder of the sullen memories will stop and die down eventually.
Beautiful dawn will birth in the crimson folds of the horizon and with hopes and desires
seeded in our black eye, arms wide open to welcome the new year,
we will inhale the breath of a fresh new year emerging on our doorstep.

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.
