Secret

Word-ka Shots decided to bring in a guest-writer this week. Our reader, Nikita D'Cruz, is quite the writer herself and turned out to be just the perfect sized lemon wedge to give the Shots a fresh new twist! Presenting this week's theme, Jason's chosen one: SECRET. 
 

Conference call activated...
Curious greetings... shushes
Insight has traveled faster than sound
Three expectant patient ears
Listen to some throat clearing
And then, the obvious is declared...
Collective breath intake,
Then loud laughter, hoots
Out of place comments
Guffaws,
The embarrassed caller giggles
‘I’ll call you guys later. And yea...’
‘Of course we won’t’.
Four final smiles.
Love exchanged. Of the strongest kind
Beep. Call ended.


-Nikita D'Cruz

Its warm, moist smell
Attracts flies
I try to wave them aside
With the palm of my hand
But they sniff
That sticky-sweet on my fingers
And know.
Or do they?









-Nikita Deshpande

    Infused with the sounds of dusk,
    I think of you and how,
    I don't even know your name,
    and how that doesn't really matter,
    cause I already love you.

    sorry, couldn't help myself again ;)

    @D'cruz: Refreshing to see your writing here. I could picture the four of you talking in hushed tones. :-)
    @Nik: *Swooooooooon*. Every. Single. Time. How?
