India- The food for our soul is love
India is the land of diverse cultures. Where we live submerged in the sweetness of nuanced flavors of customs that make us alive. Lost in a land of fondness, enriched by the tenderness of beliefs we all are different in existing realities, but there is one thing that binds us together-food. To relish the sweetness of life, we often taste the bitter vinegar of adversities. The melodious cacophony of joy radiates on our abode when the hours of plight grind the periphery of our strength.

A despised mutated kind that humans and zombies run away from. We terrorize, we destroy. Inside, I am wrecked.

The atrocious contradiction of existence How ironically does existence glare at our agony Drawing its muse in the hours of our ecstasy

UNFAIR
Working from home provided a good life. Husband and wife worked without strife. Eavesdropping, the husband did. Overheard details about spouse's employer's takeover bid.

The Raven
In shadows deep, a raven's flight, Silent wings cut through the night. A messenger from realms unknown, A harbinger with eyes like stone.
