Later!

Later!
Told the mother to her little one
As she hurried away with her chores
Later!
Told the son to his ailing mother
As he hurried away with his chores

Later!
He mumbled irritatedly
As he complained about the seconds wasted
Later!
Her graveyard mocked sarcastically
As he wished for those precious seconds

Later!
She whispered to her dreams
as she mopped the floors again and again
Later!
The floors stared back at her worn-out self
as she gasped to catch her last breath

Eivine

Hi! I’m Eivine, a writer who loves to prance around with words! Writing had been my ultimate passion ever since I learned to hold my pencil in the toddler days. Being a single child who didn’t have the luxury of YouTube, cartoons and video games of the present generation, my besties for life where books! My mother was the one who introduced me to the fantastic world of words that wove tales and poetry. One day when she returned from work, she had a big book in her hand. It was Enid Blyton’s “The Naughtiest Girl In The School.” I took it awestruck and asked her how I’m going to finish reading such a big book. She asked me to try it once and to both her and my surprise, I finished reading it in a stretch without even taking a break. That was my first step into the world of books, words, reading, and writing.
