Falling In Love With A North Indian by Shobana Gomes

bridging two lands.

A Girl Captured in A Vision

She sits lost in words, a soft breeze blowing across the blue horizons. Gentle waves from turquoise seas splash onto sands as white as pearls. They bridge land and sea. The ocean waves’ soft rhythm is a calming guide, taking her into deep reflections, where dreams reside. There is a haven of a love story in the book she reads, where two people from different lands meet on the streets of Trivandrum, to fall in love, and finally consummate their love amid the exotic tropics of Malaysia. 

She is a Malaysian Indian, and he is from New Delhi. He is the perfect distraction in Falling In Love With A North Indian. A free book to read on Inkitt. https://www.inkitt.com/stories/1733283. Please like, share, and leave a review, as the book is a contest entry.

Another 100 words and more

Okay, here's another 100 words of 'anything that comes to mind' because my muse went missing, and my story can't be read because of Error 500. It is the host website's error, so I have to wait it out.

This morning at six-thirty in the a.m., when I was driving out of my residential area, I switched on the radio to hear that it was Mother's Day this Sunday, only I didn't realise it, because I didn't want to, as it was heartbreaking this year since Mom died, and I still felt the raw hurt that came with grief, but then, someone told me that time heals, which is not true in any sense, since I still grieved for Des, Jacky, Dad, and now Mom

I caught this beauty while driving back from the airport the other day as I couldn't deny it was the sunset that always mesmerised me and  I wondered if paradise was actually a place on Earth, or otherwise, why were there beautiful pictures of nature's striking images still prevalent in these times, where a part of the world was caught up in war, others in catastrophies undeniably, and then there are the sunsets and yet the sun rises every morning without a delay when we keep time haphazardly.

An Old Fashioned Love Song

Just An Old Fashioned Love Song

Did I sing

One spring

When flowers bloomed everywhere you looked

I saw a princely image of you

And I kept that image locked in the deep recesses of my heart

I was a princess at one time

Walking along shores that stretched miles and miles

I walked barefoot and nimble

OH, the sands they tickled, and once I stumbled

over the rocks that had

been washed ashore

after years of sleeping

in ocean beds

never heard of before

Who goes there, the crustacean asked

Tickled by her sight of distress.

Look with nimble feet, does she walk lightly on our sands

The rocks, she steps on

and tumbles down to a fall

and sits there 

still regal

Perhaps a Princess

Well, who knows

She's someone as pretty as dawn.

Then the seas rushed forward,

Their angel had fallen

They washed over her sandied feet

And the waves

lifted her off to their cradle

Somewhere far in the oceans bygone.

That night, the ocean waves

sang an old-fashioned love song.

Everywhere she went, she saw him and wondered if it was a coincidence. She felt something for him and discovered that he was not a native of Kerala, but a North Indian from Delhi.
