The Big Men

She is always scared. Her eyes are set in a circle of black. They were just two little things that  made a hollow  spot within the darkness. I have never seen her truly happy, she does seem to be many a times, but then those eyes just give her off. She has made for herself…

Sun kissed and brightly blue.It is so beautifully blue that the waters of Mamzar glow under its love,not in the least revealing its secret of faking originality.Watching the cars lined one behind the other,hardly moving at most times on the…

Sadourni’s Butterflies-Escaping the hermetic alienation

The Mirage

Silence looms. The occasional sighs put it at rest. A long wait. He waits and keeps waiting. It’s not long after. ”It’s a boy”. He holds his little Prince in his hands. There is silence yet again. The silence of stare. It is that beautiful moment, when the father and son keep dazing at the…
