Then,
these steps took us to the water
where I tried to swim (what a joker)
(the ladies right across)
Now,
these steps reach rocks
and mud (and the silence of a graveyard)
(the abused river shies away)
There,
I will lock my soul in her depths
(to hurt her more?)

"Who should I vote for?"
"What's the choice?"
"A scholar brown-nosing to the manner born."
"Scumbag. The others?"
"Supporters of killers."
"Fit for a Wild West #saga?"
"Beam me up, Scotty."

I scurried forward like a #rat, turned around. There were three thick-set men with machetes.
"What did I do?"
"This is what you get when you go after another’s woman."
"Woman? There's not one even in my dreams."
"Hush! We will leave you in one piece. What a pity!"

"If your husband says let's walk to the river for a talk, run in the opposite direction!"
That's the first tip I got after my wedding.
He said that now. I'll go. A #brush with death? Or, the end? Damn!
I love him. In a way.
I love his brother too. In another way.

from an old short story of mine 'King Solomon's Wife':
https://gatheredthoughts-swapna.blogspot.com/2021/04/king-solomons-wife.html
It must be love
If I come back to you
When
I'm high ready to conquer all,
Blood is #fluid but does not flow,
I build flimsy barricades,
I don't have another fight,
oh the list goes on, does it not,
All I want to do is to rest
At your feet, calm chaotic one.
