Tales of a Tattler

  Beginnings are strange things. They don't always indicate arrival. Sometimes, they decide who gets to move forward, who must remain, who steps quietly out of the familiar, and who steps pompously into spaces already designed for them.     The Bride  is a story of once such beginning , the one that is celebrated, photographed, and sealed by ritual. The one that is remembered long after the day had ended.

  We often believe that stillness, when surrounded by comfort, means peace. Yet there are stillnesses that arise not from calm, but from unheard voices and unanswered efforts.    A Longing of Struggle closely listens to the uneasy silences that linger within care. 

  Love seldom ends cleanly. Most times it drips, stains, and settles into the corners you thought were empty.    Slow Death, Bitter Vinegar by Fatima Kapadia is a poem that explores the slow burn of abandonment, the weight of repetition, and the quiet violence of loving anyway.

  We all chase the perfect morning, the ideal day, the flawless start. Yet life has a way of turning even the most carefully orchestrated plans upside down.   After the Indigo Fades  is the story of a woman's pursuit of a perfect day, and the shades of life between expectation and reality.
