Getaway


I saw you on your bicycle,
You sped on the curve crushing gravel
The wheels made a sound
Like a machine churning thick dough.

I followed you to the sea shore.
You were on your way to your getaway.
I had heard it is a cave further out in the sea
Where you went and wrote.

I think you told me, 
You had a compass for dark nights.
It showed you North and familiar shores.
When on black waters you returned home.

I followed you to the sea shore.
It was a crowded sea.
You dragged you rusty red boat from its hideout.
You did not know I was watching.

The sea was crowded,
You clutched the rudder
Your boat remained anchored.
I thought I should come and set it free.

Life with Books...


Inspired by a stop-motion animation film, I decided to colour code my books...
While this makes it tough to find a book if I do not remember what colour spine it had.
I am also judging my books from their cover, which after all is not that bad a thing to do!
