Dance with me?

-


Will you dance with me?

I asked her.

She was silent.

Not even a whisper slipped from her lips.

It made me step back,

hesitatingly...slowly, slowly.


Then, she began to move,

mirroring my every step.

Back and forth,

matching the rhythm of the soft music.


It felt like we were dancing on stars,

melting into the moment,

step by step,

until the end.

But then I realized... 

she was only a shadow,

a figment of my imagination.

And there I stood,

alone,

with tears trailing down my cheeks.


In that moment, It struck me

life is a path where we often can't tell

what’s real and what’s a reflection.

Still, we fight to prove we’re right,

to show we feel:

Sadness,

suffocation, 

And burning with anger...

Nostalgia

Remember the time,  when it was insane.  Cuddling the wind,  walking on the stars.  I didn't mean to be sinned. Lost in the dance of unspoken scars.  Remember the time,  when it was insane.  Where I say,  that wasnt the game,  Maybe it's not the time to play,  Maybe I shouldn't dance, while the blood is bleeding out,  That's begging me to stop, but all I want is a nice dance..  Remember the time,  when it was insane Now, the floor is stained, and the music slowly fades, The stars don’t shine the way they did, The wind is cold against my skin. I wish this could be my last win.  - by Prerna Diwan

A TREE OF LIME

  ONCE UPON A TIME, I LIVED BENEATH A TREE OF LIME. EVERY NIGHT, WHEN I LOOKED OUTSIDE, A STRANGE AND EERIE LIGHT WOULD SHINE. ONCE UPON A TIME, I LIVED BENEATH A TREE OF LIME. THERE STOOD A HOUSE, FULL OF LOVE AND PSYCH, BUT AT NIGHT, I'D HEAR A PIERCING SCREAM, A VOICE SO WILD, IT HAUNTED MY DREAMS. ONCE UPON A TIME, I LIVED BENEATH A TREE OF LIME. THE PLACE FELT ANCIENT, LIKE A GREEK SHRINE, YET EVERY NIGHT TURNED TO HORROR'S STAGE, A CHILLING STORY IN EVERY NEW PAGE. MAYBE THAT'S WHY, I FOUND THE COURAGE TO FIGHT AWAY. - PRERNA DIWAN
