When emotions run dry,
And there is lack of care,
Cracks may appear any where.
Her cracked heels too had a story,
They ran so deep,
That, they pained and bled,
And cried for desperate help.
A little nurture sometimes, let them breathe some life,

She would cover her head with a stole in the presence of elders as a mark of respect. Was it to keep her in place?

She looked at the children playing at a distance. She drew a heart on the wet sand and added A+R on it. A sudden large wave erased it

He wasn’t what she had expected him to be and she couldn’t become what he wanted her to be.

The lifeless body was lying on the floor. Blood flowing from the slit wrist. The loved ones were shocked and wailing.
The soul was shocked too to see the body. How could the body betray its own soul? Though the body had freed itself from the miseries of the world , yet it had caged its...
