Show and Tell: From a Trip

The trip began in the evening. There was a tree that was elegant in its bare sense.



The walls were beautiful from the outside.



….and elephants stood as support to the inner recesses.



There was fine carving on the walls inside…



….and there were geometric patterns in the window grills, each carved to perfection by hand.



The entrances were a beauty…



…and the columns next to a courtyard were carved with the motifs of a dancer’s bells.



The rest of the civilization appeared far away.



There were some secret staircases, I did not take.



And courtyards that once thrived with life and humdrum called my name.



The balconies yearned to be stood upon…



…and I did not know if I had gone farther from, or was walking towards an unknown.



There was a water-tank which helped troops when they were embattled…



…and there were secret doors inside the tank.



The garden of the Phantom of the Opera was now overrun by weeds.



…and down below I caught a mosque’s outline.



Night finally fell, and I said Goodbye!




And I am sleepy now, so go away! And if you are still not tired of walking with me, there are several fresh tales here...

  7. How very beautiful! I love the tree.

    Hubby and I went to Pompeii, Italy once and I had a fantastic time walking through the buildings and courtyards imaging a bustling, busy life there. It was amazing.

I Should Have Known

...On the night of 19th when my breasts became hard and sore to touch, the nurses brought me hot water bottles rather than my baby. I should have known. ...Birdman was apparently away to Very Big City with our baby. Every SMS update sent to me about her after 16th Jan was fake. I was a donkey eating at his trough. I should have known. ...Visitors who came to see me in the hospital did not look me straight in the eye. I should have known. ...My mother sounded reluctant every time I asked her on a timeline on when my stitches would be cut and I could travel to Very Big City. I should have known. ...I grieved at how many pricks and tubes were affixed to my little baby while she lay cold and unfeeling at the bottom of an earth pit fatigued from all the effort she put into staying alive. I should have known. ...Family dropped clues on how oxygen deprivation could affect the brain. I spelt it out for them. I told them that Lola was my daughter even if she came out r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d from the o...

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
