Something that has one form, but has two meanings
Humans are creatures created to live in pairs based on feelings. The feeling that creates togetherness and harmony is quite disturbing to the soul. That is love, a masterpiece of God with nuances that cannot be denied by reason.

India- The food for our soul is love
India is the land of diverse cultures. Where we live submerged in the sweetness of nuanced flavors of customs that make us alive. Lost in a land of fondness, enriched by the tenderness of beliefs we all are different in existing realities, but there is one thing that binds us together-food. To relish the sweetness of life, we often taste the bitter vinegar of adversities. The melodious cacophony of joy radiates on our abode when the hours of plight grind the periphery of our strength.

Lovely lovely lonely
My father tells me I’m lovely. I’m lovely and I’m special. I’ll be the first Eve in the new era of this zombie infested world. I am wounded every single time he calls me lovely. I am a Bloodletter. A despised mutated kind that humans and zombies run away from. We terrorize, we destroy. Inside, I am wrecked.
