Togetherness


When I met him,
Two wine glasses whispered,
The owls shrieked
And the Oak tree,
With all its strength
Resisted and said,
"You are not meant to be
Together".
But I didn't care to
Ask why,
I didn't care to seek
Options,
'Cause there was electricity
Flowing through our bodies,
The electricity that
Could light up the
Entire rooms of hell.
When we danced together,
The ballroom protested to
Light up,
My heels denied to tap,
My eyes denied to connect
My frock refused to swirl
Saying,
"You are not meant to be
Together".
But I didn't care to ask
I didn't want clarification,
Because our steps were
Synchronized,
Our hands were cold,
And we were two dead souls
In love.
When we were kissing,
My cells declined to act,
All the electrons and protons
And neutrons acted weird,
A Ferris wheel dismissed
To rotate,
Saying,
"You are not meant to be
Together"
But I didn't ask how
Or searched reasons,
Because our lips were
Too close,
And we were the only ones
Under the sky.
Days after days,
When togetherness meant
Nothing,
When the electricity and
Synchronization and closeness
Turned down,
I stood alone at the stage,
To sing my song
And the room was full
Even though my voice
Was quivering,
The audience was smiling,
I broke down,
But they were cheering
Because I was alone and
Not together
Anymore.

The Fall of the House of Usher - A Sense of Insufferable Gloom

  Mike Flanagan is undoubtedly one of the best gothic television series makers of the contemporary industry. Flanagan’s The Haunting series, The Midnight Club and Midnight Mass are the much praised examples of his style and work. Adding to his finest collection is his adaptation of Edgar Alan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher”. Divided into 8 episodes the series is a brilliant and modern tribute to Poe’s most celebrated short story. While Poe’s story of Usher remains the heart of the series, it is unified to the body by attaching different organs based on other works of Poe including The Masque of the Red Death, Murder in the Rue Morgue, The Black Cat, The Pit and the Pendulum, The Raven, and many more. The nefarious Patriarch of the Usher family, Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), whose legacy is maintained through his several wicked and selfish children , his equally ruthless twin sister Madeline (Mary McDonnell) who is loyal towards her brother and their opiate empire Fortunato a

Murmurings of Married Women

  I hear murmurings from the graveyard In the West of the town,  Of married women,  Dead and disappeared years ago.  I wonder what a time they had,  What a life they lived.  Their husbands weep and weep and forget them,  They praise how they looked after their women,  Covering in glittery gold,  Buying them silly silks,  Giving makeup for a make-over.  But still, the women murmur,  Their voices seem to break the edges of tombs.  They force the sun to dry out the flowers on them quickly.  I lowered my face and listened to the tombs,  It seems their lipstick was revolting,  Their eyelashes lifted to show the desperation.  They talk about the lies they had to live through,  In fear of strangers' pointing fingers on getting a hint on their unhappy marriages.  They call out their abusive partners,  Told me to look for the broken bangles behind the kitchen for proof,  The blood-stained clothes that were never washed,  Lay hidden from neighbours and relatives,  Who praises the happy coupl
