    • Chapter XIII — The Bhagavad-Gita Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter XIII opens with Arjuna seeking deeper insight into the nature of the human body and the essence that resides within it. Krishna responds by defining two key concepts: the body as the “field” and the soul as the “knower of the field.” The field is everything physical—subject to change, decay, and interaction—while the knower remains unchanged, silently observing. Krishna explains that he is the ultimate knower in all beings, present in every form yet unbound by any one form. The body…
    • When Mother Sleeps Cover
      by LovelyMay When Mother Sleeps evokes a quiet reverence for a role so instinctive yet so often overlooked. It begins by painting an image of deep maternal rest, a sleep earned through endless hours of giving and tending. The world may continue to rumble with all its noise—storms outside or clattering indoors—but it does not touch her slumber. In that moment, she is sheltered, perhaps not by walls, but by the peace of knowing her child is safe. Her rest, though, is never complete. It exists only in the space…

    • Ballad: Lorenzo De Lardy Cover
      by LovelyMay Lorenzo De Lardy enters the tale not as a dashing hero untroubled by worldly concerns, but as a man tangled in charm, debt, and schemes of romance. Dalilah De Dardy, long past the bloom of youth yet wealthy and eager for companionship, finds herself utterly enamored with this smooth-talking guardsman. Her affection is evident, but Lorenzo, despite his polished boots and noble lineage, is more drawn to solving his monetary problems than embracing the hand of a woman offering security. Instead of building a…
    • The Wandering Jew Cover
      by LovelyMay The Wandering Jew walks not with the hurried steps of modern man, but with the deliberate grace of one who has seen too much to rush. He passes through centuries as though they were mere shadows, leaving behind no footprint, yet carrying every sorrow the world has cast upon him. His presence in a bustling city teeming with noise and ambition feels like a paradox—timeless silence brushing against the urgency of now. People around him do not see the weight he carries, the lives and empires he has outlived,…
    • Ballad: My Dream Cover
      by LovelyMay My Dream tells of a fantastical place where logic is reversed, and the world functions in perfect contradiction to our own. The narrator finds themselves in Topsy-Turveydom, a land where everything familiar has been flipped on its head. In this strange land, evil is applauded while virtue is frowned upon, and dishonesty earns reward rather than punishment. The people celebrate foolishness and look upon intelligence with suspicion. Rules, expectations, and traditions seem deliberately confused, yet the…
    • VERSE: A Woman’s Answer Cover
      by LovelyMay A Woman's Answer begins as a tender, yet unapologetic declaration of how love cannot be caged or confined to a single form. The speaker does not diminish her devotion to her beloved but rather expands the definition of love itself. Her soul responds not just to the touch of one person, but to a symphony of experiences, memories, and meaningful connections. She remembers how sunlight first fell on his hair the day they met, and how winter’s stillness brought him back into her arms. Love, for her, is…
    • Chapter Nine: Bobby Sands Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin The chapter opens with Cyrus Shams, a young Iranian-American man, confessing his preoccupation with death to artist Orkideh during an encounter at the Brooklyn Museum. He awkwardly reveals his fascination with historical figures like Bobby Sands who died for their beliefs, contrasting their meaningful deaths with his own existential uncertainty. Orkideh, a terminally ill cancer patient conducting a living exhibition called "DEATH-SPEAK," listens intently while subtly challenging Cyrus's romanticized…

      The Job

      The Job Cover
      by LovelyMay The Job can often be mistaken as the measure of a person’s value, but the truth is far more personal and empowering. It is not the title or status that shapes success, but the effort one brings to the work. The chapter explores how fulfillment is found in the dedication applied to any task, whether grand or humble. Each position becomes meaningful through honesty, skill, and consistency, not through the applause it may or may not receive. When seen through this lens, every job holds the potential to…

    • VERSE: GIVE ME THY HEART Cover
      by LovelyMay Give Me Thy Heart begins not in grand ritual but in the soft quiet that follows—a silence filled with questions, weight, and unseen grace. As the last of the congregation faded into the night, the dimmed church stood like a vessel of waiting. There, knelt in the shadows, a woman remained alone, wrapped not in robes but in reflection. Her lips moved in prayer, not rehearsed but real—pleas born from fatigue, effort, and aching honesty. She had given so much already: her time, her comfort, her joy in…
    • Ballad: The Force Of Argument Cover
      by LovelyMay The Force of Argument unfolds in a coastal town where ambition, affection, and rhetoric intermingle beneath the surface of civility. Lord B., tall in stature and ambition, makes a calculated entrance into Turniptopville-by-the-Sea, determined to win the hearts of the people and the seat of their borough. Though groomed in noble elegance, he does not shy away from mingling with farmers and merchants, offering charm in place of policy and wit instead of clarity. At dances and tea parties, his presence is…
