The Cigarette Girl
by Dawn Pisturino
An unlit cigarette dangled carelessly from her mouth.
Dark eyes glowed with ecstasy
As pointed fingernails dug furiously into her palm.
She inhaled sharply with each bloody gouge,
Enjoying the pain and sight of blood
Running onto the concrete floor.
She was known in the neighborhood as
The Cigarette Girl. . .
Please go HERE to read the rest of the poem.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a blessed Sunday.

सच्चे एहसास / True Feelings – Kaushal Kishore
सच्चे एहसास
कभी ख़त्म नहीं होते,
वे दब जरूर जाते हैं कहीं रेत में,
लेकिन फिर से उभर आते हैं,
जब आंतरिक लहरें बहाने लगती हैं
रेत की कुछ परतों को…
✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️
True feelings are eternal;
they may get buried
somewhere in the sands,
but resurface when
inner waves start washing away
some layers of the sand…

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

We live in the here and now. Now is all we can lay claim to. Yesterday has gone, tomorrow is an illusion. It is only in the now that we can make a positive difference in the lives of every living entity in this Universe. We are the Order we seek in these tumultuous times.

Revisiting a Reminder: Don’t Count Me Out | From Behind the Pen

The song Cher sang, “You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me,” from the movie “Burlesque” is one of my battle cry songs. To all of you who feel like you’ve been brought down to your knees, to the point of breaking (I am included), I employ you to stand up, straighten your back, and fight for the self-preservation of your mind, body, and spirit. When they count you out, no matter who “they” may be, count yourself in. You are a Warrior!
Winning the battle
Adamant
Rising to the occasion
Resolute
Introspection and examination
Overcoming obstacles
Running with determination

Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?
PABLO PICASSO


A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers.
