[Writer's island] Soul...

sunlight
piercing through the skin
sweat
dripping from every pore

days
seem to go never ending
nights
wish they went on forever

summer
God, i hate this climate
winter
will i ever get to see this?

swap places
i wish i could
live in an igloo
wrapped in a bundle

when will this end
put me out of my mysery
so my soul can take flight
feel free...

A poem that i wrote trying to distract myself from the unbearable heat.. ended up with my soul wanting to fly away and be free[which is the prompt at Writers Island this week]... :)
Chennai is known for its HOT KILLING SUMMER'S, infact that is one reason, why a lot of people DONT want to visit or move to this city.. summer's are killing.. we basically have three seasons through the year..
Hot.. Hotter.. Hottest.. :)

[Writers Island] She stares...

For this week's prompt on Writer's Island..

walking into the room
light shining
in the corner of her eyes

strides across the floor
wrapping hands around shoulder
keeping her soul warm

sun begins to set
gentle rays streaming
through the crack in the window

spellbound
she watches in awe

feeling safe and warm
alone, at last
she sits...
she stares...
