Oubliette ( One Single Impression, Prompt : oubliette )
Power of HIS blessings
And a nest that is abode of
Love
Freedom
Trust, intimacy,
Togetherness….
is a place all want to return to
Every evening.
Power struggle,
Control, domination,
Lust ,
Games….
And
Every evening turns into……..
Late office hours,
Late meetings,
Late night parties,
Hotels and alcohol…..
One avoids returning to
What is now…….

So true and real...:)
ReplyDeleteYou said it right!
Nobody wants to live in an oubliette existence.
As I was reading, I couldn't help but feel trapped in the oubliette you pictured, writing.
ReplyDelete"Power struggle,
Control, domination,
Lust ,
Games…." -- This is your oubliette.
Powerful imagery through feelings!
"Power of HIS blessings
ReplyDeleteAnd a nest that is abode of
Love..."
I think it sums up all.
Mind is always ready to indulge into power struggle. Only HIS blessings can keep us away from it.
Lets pray for HIS blessings.
Thank you.
I love the dual images of the oubliette. Shelter in one instance is fear in the other.
