Wednesday - One Shot

Last night
The rain drenched me.
Cold and shivering
I came to you
Seeking warmth

Your mouth
Did not
Claim mine
To blow a heat
To Life

Instead
You broke dried twigs
From the past
Gathered
Dry leaves
Of the time gone by
And built
A fire

Emptying our hearts
Of shriveled words
Smoothing out lines
We studied our palms
Shedding tears...

Then
Pruning , sawing
Whatever you found
Outgrowing
On my body ,
Chopping off
The taboos
All these
You fed to flames
To keep me warm
And alive.

Friday Flash 55ve Fiction

One old man to another : 'Where have you been for last eight weeks?"

" In Jail"

"In Jail??? What for!!!??"

" Well, I was standing at a corner, and this beautiful young girl came with a policeman saying, ' Officer, this is the man who attacked and tried to kiss me.' I felt so flattered, that I admitted!"

PINK and red and PINK and orange and green and PINK and Black and PINK...

My Wonderful Brother and his lovely wife

Had a Halloween Baby Shower...

For yet-to-be-born Nadia

With Bows and Polka Dots and Cradle and Pink Roses (YUM)

And More YUM

AND STILL MORE YUM YUM!!

And "Fairy"(?) Godmothers ( with pathetic broom)

That hid itself as soon as I called it pathetic!

What a loot for Nadia!
