Hey guys! Hope everyone is having a great week so far. I was quite bored recently and wrote this very short story.
The colour of her skin was a mix of grey and pain. Her eyes
held liquid fear, or was it anger? She walked with a tired feline gait, as
though wasted hope lay heavily on her hips. She was the palace slave but a
divine dancer. She would dance at royal ceremonies, waist adorned with
the finest of beads, shoulders hidden in high and heavy ornaments. Her dance
steps were slow and beckoning. How could an essence so strange carry such elegance
on its shoulders? The stride of her hips, the expression on her face, spoke
words she could never utter. The stamp of her feet against the rain-bathed soil
left prints feet manipulation. The smile on her face carried men on an
unsatisfying journey. And once in a while, as she moved towards the crowd, a
frenzy of vibrations taking over her hips and shoulders, pride would flash on
her face. She was well aware of the
empire she had created in our minds. This empire where the slave transformed to
the dictator.
A story or a poem with out lines and meters?
ReplyDeleteI love the ending though.
