Dilemma


Sitting at the tip of my bed I couldn't do much rather than hearing to the perennenial onslaught of the daylong drizzle that had been reverbrating through the day.

Watching the rain drip through the windows, I turned back.

Turned back to be caught in her hypnotic gaze.A split second and I felt as if I was lost in her.

With riots playing havoc outside when she knocked at my door for safety I couldn't say no.

Now as we both were stranded in my house,I wasn't able to say much.

Wasn't able to quiet understand when the world was sulking over stupid matters of religious orthodoxy how could I be lost in a complete world of my own.

Finally tried to tell her what I had been feeling inside.

But no it wasn't the right time,as she was vulnerable today.The horrifying scenes of people trying to rape her were stilll fresh from yesterday.

I would surely say what I had kept inside me for years,but maybe someday when she would be angst free,free to laugh, free to follow her heart.

Someday when she would be in her full strength to contemplate rather than to hear with fear.

Till then I would just take care of her.

  6. Knowing when to talk about it is the difference between comfort/understanding or just causing them to relive it.

    Writing fiction is something that I have always looked up to you.The way you hold the tension is amazing.I still remember your post of the boy who sees the sacrifice performed behind his house.DARK but wonderful.
    Thanks again.

  11. So powerful and intense. I love the contrast between the violence outside and your love and compassion for her. It combined well to make a great piece.

    Thanks Jane:)
    Initially the violence wasn't something I was planning to do but just the point I wrote of turning back towards the bed,I felt the riots outside would bring the necessary punch.
    Thanks again for visiting.
