For the marathon I went with the image prompt for hour3. But I knew I would come back to the text prompt when I had the time. Now time is at a premium in my life, specially on a Monday morning but I’ve managed to nudge this into being among meetings and cases and what-nots! All thoughts will be deeply appreciated!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All that is gold does not glitter,<\/p>\n
Most thinks that glitter are fake<\/p>\n
Once, I tasted the sunshine on your skin.<\/p>\n
I heard the purples in your smoldering eyes<\/p>\n
Ian Anderson played in Brabourne Stadium,<\/p>\n
Your eyes refused to let me in,<\/p>\n
But your body had another string to pluck<\/p>\n
And your mouth opened wide for me.<\/p>\n
The fact that I survived was your masterpiece<\/p>\n
I was the chudail<\/em> you could not control<\/p>\n With that red jacket and curls flying in the wind.<\/p>\n Those stormy nights of irreverence.<\/p>\n \u201cAtma ke koshto dite nei,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n So we unburdened our souls of guilt.<\/p>\n Daylight swore into the darkest nights<\/p>\n While you swooped into skies hunting prey.<\/p>\n Ipsy was waiting, always on the sideline<\/p>\n Hands immersed in the bloodied moon<\/p>\n That was the one mistaken thought<\/p>\n that you would come to regret.<\/p>\n Corrosive days and alcohol-coloured dusks<\/p>\n Bleed them into one so that they last forever!<\/p>\n Quien eres realmente mi querido?<\/em><\/p>\n Reality is never real,<\/em> purrs the cat.<\/p>\n All that was gold never did glitter<\/p>\n Lost forever in that sun-kissed skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the marathon I went with the image prompt for hour3.
