Sunshine to Stardust


Sacrifice

was when…..

she forgot her kith and  kin

she forgot all she believed in

all she remembered was impossible love

her need to make him see the heavens above. 

****

her time , her life, her duties, her promises

her responsibilities all could burn to ashes 

all she cared was for the deep happy voice

the chuckle in his throat was now her choice

Destiny


Today’s Daily Prompt:  Inevitable

 

Ah,

Inevitable it was

 …. that they had but just met

…. to let their hearts connect!

Yet

Inevitable it was

…..that they never knew

….. a gift given to very few!

So

Inevitable it was 

….. that they, as best friends, did part

…..  living n loving, they stayed apart!

Then

Inevitable it was

…… that their paths did cross

…… over the seas, miles across!

But

Inevitable it was 

….. that at last their souls did bond

….. within their hearts love they found!

Alas!

Inevitable it was

……. that they had found it too late,

…….  to love again was not their fate

Thus

Inevitable it was

……. that fate n destiny did ordain

…….  to live in pain and love in vain.

Was that deafening lub-dub her own heart??

Had her dream come visiting or was it real?

Had He come revisiting, her love, forever to seal?

Cause And Effect “Revisited”


In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Cause, Meet Effect.”

You can single handedly create a causal relation between two things that are currently unconnected — a word and an emotion, a song and an extreme weather event, wearing a certain color and winning the lottery. What cause would you link to what effect, and why?

Oh Wow .. what if the Birds chirped and Violins played?

N  every time I saw you, I heard  “our songs” in my head?

What if every time I looked at  a cake slice longingly

My weight would go down  by a 100 grams unfailingly?

—-

What if every time I wore the color lemon yellow

The stocks I bought an upward trend would follow?

What if  every time my left eye twitched,

My purse would get  doubly enriched ?

—–

All these causes are easy to make and do

And all the effects on my long list, “to-do “!

Jingle bells jungle bells jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to keep all my fears at bay!

———

What bliss, if any of this ever came true

Oh, Word Press Daily Prompt, I love you!

For bestowing on me this world of fantasy

Were life is no-strife and everything so easy!!!

thank you

For our final trio prompt of the year, write about any topic you wish, but make sure your post features a bookcase, something cracked, and a song you love.

Sunday morning, I am up with the bell

A bright sunny day with a story to tell!

A brand  New Year being  around the corner

I wanted a brand new look in my own roomer

I pushed my bedside  bookcase away ….

And Oops! something cracked right away

Went to check and what do you think I see

My favorite DVD cracked to bits as can be!

Irretrievably broken now, I had to  let it be 

Off to the mall I go to get a Xmas gift for me !

Found my lost lil one and then got some more

Something to Soothe? Retail therapy to the fore !

And here it is – one of the songs I love

Music is, indeed, manna from above

A Song I Love – Words

Retail Therapy !

Ripples and Reflections
Ripples and Reflections

Wow ! A dream come true!! What could be better?

A ready to occupy country house first on the letter.

 

With  a library, an all night cafe and a home theater

The best of staff, the best of linen all causing a flutter!

 

From this lovely home, in a long sleek swanky shiny car

I would weave my way to the latest designer store  afar!

 

Rubies, pearls  n the long-awaited sparkling diamond necklace,

All in due time would in my treasure trove find a pride of place!

 

Shopping done, swathed in the best designer gown

To my waiting yacht I would take the road downtown.

 

And undergo in its spa a luxurious make-over,

As  I allow the magicians there  to take me over .

 

To look and feel like a million plus  bucks,

My next stop – a few ‘instant’ tummy tucks.

 

The day culminating in an evening feeling divine

Amidst roses music, dim lights and exquisite cuisine.

 

As I magically find I have  nimble feet

I and my love would dance to every beat.

 

Money cannot buy happiness they say?

They knew not where to shop and stay!

 

A spendthrift I am self confessed and accused

No better way  to spend a day than discussed!

 

So bring it on, please bring it on

Let the music play on and on!

 

Retail therapy brings such untold joy

Would love to do this again and enjoy

 

Thank you WordPress for this lovely fluffy dream

May you bring more and more I daresay and scream!

 

Good night…..

all good things

 I should have spoken of abstract options and emotions and all things nice … but today this is me ….. dreaming of material things and unapologetic about it!  Ha ha!

The Wait


waiting girl

I wait for a word you never can say

I wait for a sign keeping fears at bay

I wait on a road you never take

I wait for a call you never make

I wait for a love that maybe,never was

I wait for a message, just because

A lil Bit of Moi


BEWARE,  BUYERS! The year is 2214, and your computer’s dusty hard drive has just resurfaced at an antique store. Write a note to the curious buyer explaining what he or she will find there.

Dear Buyer,

If you are contemplating buying this hard disk, let me take you on a little tour to prepare you for what you will find in here. Its a little bit of me, a miniature imprint of my brain, my heart and mind.

And what would that be? First of all be warned that I hate throwing away stuff (read use “delete” button) and so there will a lot of stuff to wade through from my desktop to my drives. Continue reading

GONE GIRL


Its not exactly the best story I’ve ever heard,  but a story of the movie I saw yesterday. The movie is based on a book by Gillian Flynn and directed by David Fincher . Gone Girl – It reflects the  disintegration of  a marriage and the power of the human mind when depressed or angered or hurt. A female human mind at that.

The story starts on the 5th Marriage Anniversary of a couple when the husband  comes home in early noon to find that his wife has disappeared. He calls the cops as there is evidence of a struggle or a scuffle in the living room. As the story unfolds, we understand that all is not as it appears. As is usually the case, there are two sides to every story and if it is the story of a marriage, the cliche is probably doubly true!

October is a busy month for Astraeans. ( https://ripplesnreflectiontimes.wordpress.com/2014/10/28/791/ ) You are likely to have guests and a heavy social scene with friends as well. Your family will demand attention and get it too. A few important decisions regarding your children will be made.For those of you in the medical profession, it turns out to be the busiest month of the year.  The good news is that you will earn  blessings and satisfaction on that front. Travel is on the cards and  family bonding increases as a result. Your siblings will also be happy with your company. If unattached, romance is on the cards. If Married, you will spend a lot of quality time together and be nostalgic. The bad news is that you are likely to attend a lot of functions and socialize at home and so will add a lot of weight. It is therefore suggested that you exercise and diet towards the end of the month.  For those of you creatively inclined , you will be appreciated by peers and will bring a lot of satisfaction. wpid-img_20141027_012309.jpgone-lovely-blog-award022414-feature-bannerAll in all a good month for Astraeans.Yaaaayyyyy!!!
