Aneena Elza Binod

Wasn't it yesterday that she was in their garden
watering the roses, looking every bit golden …?
Wasn't it yesterday that she made him his favorite soup
as it rained cats and dogs in an unending loop …?

Theme: As the dark-haired prince dived into the depths of the ocean to save the drowning young maiden, he was hit by the emotional charge of a déjà vu. He stopped for a second underwater as a series of images flashed across his mind, only to snap out of it immediately and make his way towards the damsel in distress. As he grabbed her long, luscious locks and wrapped his arm around her neck to pull her to the surface, their eyes interlocked. The magnetic force of attraction between them in that instant was intense. A gazillion thoughts condensed into a moment and time stood still. His strong arms pulled her up to the surface and into his boat. She coughed and spluttered and laid there in exhaustion.


Azure skies of the oceanside
...

Hardly a clue was revealed,
On how blue she felt,
Until they stumbled upon
Her lifeless grotesque body.
...

Amber and hazel swirled into each other
Like a tornado of blinding iridescence
To forge a gaze as tranquil as the setting sun
In the unfathomable sea, facing her kitchen.
...

Seeped into her system like malice,
Making it hard for her to dismiss,
Entwined in each other's arms
Lay coffee and cigar,
...

Been waiting ages for her bubble to get bigger,
Eagerly, she hopes as she sees a smile flicker,
Magic in those pair of eyes she saw,
Yearned for more of it as she melted in awe,
...

Quite a happening person he was
on social media and free of a pause.
Fit almost every aesthetic in full regalia.
Yet, he lacked the required paraphernalia
...

Like a caterpillar hoping to turn into a butterfly someday,
Like a snowflake hoping to land on a happy child's palm,
Like a ray of sunshine hoping to brighten up someone's day,
Like a rose flower hoping to be the reason someone smiles,
...

To the weird kid who felt no sadness
on the last day of school, ‘'It's madness'',
they said with a pinch of resent.
But did they know of the dent
...

Swimming happily in his territory,
Sir Hides-a-Lot was living his best life
until something caught his olfactory
senses, Little did he know the sea was rife
