Feet stained red
Celebrating negotiated love
Standing on the edge
Beyond all caging fences
Above the skyline
The cold cement
In an open embrace
Offering a calm conclusion
To her buffering spirit
And so hesitantly she left
Her grey house
Now his
For a home promising to be hers
Till after the end
Left floating away
Her arrival sounded by the breaking
Of her once radiant will
Releasing her from
The forced barter
A new lease
Now signed in her name

Sashrika is an aspiring writer who dabbles in poetry, long-form journalism, and the occasional social/philosophical rambling.
She is completing her graduation in Literature and cameos in a small splattering of magazines and online portals as both an editor and a writer.
In her free time, you can catch her guzzling an inordinate amount of caffeine and holding onto a thick crusty novel from another time. You may if lucky, even catch her guiltily updating her usually defunct blog (one of many).
Controversial, free-spirited, lost in her own head, she floats on a cloud in simple cotton and leads an idealistic life with a smile that masks her painful anxiety.
Tune into her work anonymously and allow yourself to moonwalk into her world.
