The Red Moon

Image
They say the red moon is rare. But it’s not rare because it hides. it’s rare because it only shows itself when it can no longer hold back. He is like that. He cares more than anyone knows. He loves more deeply than he lets himself say. But his heart is stitched tight, his feelings pressed silent. To the world he looks distant, untouchable but inside, his soul burns like the brightest red. He wants to be there. To stay. To hold. But something in him pulls away, like tides retreating from the shore. So he stands close enough for you to feel his presence, but not close enough to feel his hand. The universe has many stories, but his is written in the language of the red moon: a love that lingers even when unspoken, a warmth that glows even when he walks away. Physical, I am there for you, not emotionally. That is his truth. That is his curse. And maybe that’s why the red moon feels like him. you only glimpse it once in a while, bright and unmissable, you can feel its pull, but ...

The Shade That Found Me

Image
One cannot help but notice how a single shade has managed to command centuries of devotion, terror, and desire. Red, A color so simple, yet it carries more weight than one could imagine. It is the blush of love, flushed across cheeks and blooming in roses left on doorsteps. It is the burn of anger, sharp as fire, reckless as a storm. Red warns...stop signs, flashing sirens, the sharpness of blood spilled when caution has been abandoned. It is danger and desire, warning and welcome, war and worship. Red is the thread of fate whispered in folklore, binding souls unseen. It is celebration like the lanterns, ribbons, and wine raised in glasses. It is also mourning, the wilt of lilies in a graveyard, petals too bright against grey stone. Red is passion, but it is also panic. It is the pulse in one’s veins, alive and unstoppable, reminding us that we are mortal, reminding us that we are here. And yet… some among us shrink from such inevitability. Some will avert their eyes from the boldness ...

When the Glass is Raised

Image
  Wine has always been more than what it seems. To some, it is simply drink...sweet or bitter, light or dark. But to those who pause, who let the glass rest in their hand before it touches their lips, wine is a mirror. The ancients poured it to honor gods, to seal vows, to speak the words they feared to say sober. Families raise it to remember, lovers to promise, strangers to pretend they are less so. Every glass is an act, a performance, a confession disguised in red. For what is wine if not memory liquefied? Grapes pressed underfoot, years sealed in a dark barrel, time itself captured and then released into your veins. It makes the past present again, sometimes tender, sometimes reckless, always more honest than you intended to be. But there is danger too. Wine loosens truth, yet it also blurs it. It binds people in laughter, but it also tempts them to forget. It is the color of celebration... but also of ruin. So when the glass is raised high and the room glitters with the sound...

The Ribbons Remember

Image
  She was still small when she noticed it first the way her mother’s hands moved with purpose, tying ribbons as though each knot held a secret. The red fabric curled and twisted, catching the light, never just decoration but something heavier, older. “Why always red?” she asked, her voice curious, tugging at the edge of the ribbon roll. Her mother smiled, though her eyes stayed on the knot. “Because red remembers. It ties together not only what you see, but what you cannot.” The girl did not understand then, but she felt it. The hush in the room, the weight of the color. She thought ribbons were meant for gifts, for hair, for celebration. But here, tied across doors, around wrists, across branches, they seemed like guardians. Silent, watchful, waiting. Years later, she would learn the whispers: that ribbons, long ago, were charms against misfortune, threads of protection, promises bound in fabric. That when tied in red, they meant not just beauty, but defiance against what might co...

The Lanterns Burn Red

Image
They say long ago, lanterns were not only light but guardians, hung to keep shadows at bay and to trick misfortune into losing its way. Some called them blessings, others disguises, but all agreed that when they glowed red, the night was safer somehow There is something peculiar about red lanterns. They are not merely lights they are invitations, whispers, and warnings all at once. Suspended in the night, they glow like small beating hearts, pulsing against the dark. A lantern does not shout. It does not demand. It lures. It hums softly in the corner of your eye, coaxing you closer until you wonder whether you chose to follow it… or if it chose you. Some say lanterns were once protectors... hung at doorways to confuse spirits, to trick misfortune, to invite fortune in disguise. Perhaps they were never just for light but for survival, for remembrance, for hope. In red, it carries more than brightness. It carries a weight of luck, of love, of longing, of danger. The shade is...

The Red That Wasn’t Worn

Image
She knew the day too well. Her phone blinked with the weight of unsent words. She typed, erased, typed again. Nothing ever felt right. She thought of posting instead, of leaving behind some little trace of herself for the world to see. But she didn’t. Silence became her choice, though it sat heavy in her chest. Not a word, not a sign. Not even the color red. The day stretched on, long and restless. She had promised herself she wouldn’t go. It wasn’t her plan. Yet suddenly, her gut whispered: go. It was sharp, certain, stronger than the doubts that had kept her still. Before she could reason her way out of it, she was moving. Her closet waited. She pulled it open and the first thing her eyes found was the red dress. There it was hanging bold and alive, almost watching her. A piece of fabric that felt like a challenge, asking her if she dared to step into it. Her heart beat faster at the thought. Could she carry that color tonight? Could she bear the weight of its voice? She reached towa...

The Red Car in the Corner

Image
Some things don’t rust. They remember... It was the flashiest car in the garage. Not the newest, nor the fastest. In fact, people laughed when he brought it home. An old red model. He could’ve bought something bigger, louder, sleeker. But he chose her . Because the number plate carried her birth year. And that was enough. He loved cars, yes. But this one? This one carried more than just wheels. It carried joy. Warm drives under soft skies. A family packed inside, legs tangled, voices tangled, smiles open. There was even a tiny fan clipped onto the dashboard which was a quick fix, a shared joke, a tiny detail no one else would ever understand. And now? Now she sits tucked into the corner of the garage, quiet, But never dull. Her red still bright , like it’s smiling. Like it remembers. Sometimes when you walk past her, you swear you can hear echoes. A burst of laughter. The crackle of a plastic fan. A voice humming to a song that doesn’t play anymore. He’s gone now. And...
