Life’s Dish

Everyone fights a batter within We stir, whip, fold and sieve Sorrow, misery, and a drop of grief Minced smiles and grated dreams A dash of hope and sugary whims A sizzling summer of sirloin kiss An aged wine composite of tears and love Bittersweet, umami, salty, and spicy If it is The way we …

My Eyes Roll

(Updated April 2022) My eyes roll itself between the lines of your sarcasm; Slowly, and painfully, squeezing through your words; Like a balloon rolling on landmines, pretending it is floating; Except, it is not - Safe. Like how I smile, pretending I am not - Hurt. Like a sharp arrow, pretending it is harmless; It …

The search for ideal

In my never ending search for someone to love me like me, I wonder if I am not already where I hope to be. I have my dream guy now. Photo by Anna Shvets on Pexels.com

The Wanderer Wonders

I stood watching leaves float down like golden sparkles; covering crossroads in layers of lime-yellow. Shining bright it was, blinding, yet the path was gone. The sun has set in puddles of orange and violet casting damp shadows on the walkway; soon the light will go and panic will takes its place. Yet, wasn't it perfect …

Perfect Morning

Peace and quiet painted on colors of the dawn, like sprinkles of sunshine on cupcake; The sleeping leaves snuggled into blankets of sunlight; Branches glistened with crystal-clear dew as they wake; like the fresh rustle of mint breath in the morning and a symphony of sweet songs by the Robins.

Eternally

I've noticed myself being drawn into the depths of my memory recently. It is beautiful. And I'm grateful. Perhaps it was after a casual chat with a new friend, in which I shared some of my favourite instrumental acoustic guitar music that accompanied me throughout the most unforgettable period of my schooling years. I had joined …

I’ve detached

I’ve detached. That soul-freeing moment, disembarked. I fly with my wings Tired but resilient, peace in chaos I’m not running away, I’ve detached.   That moment, I’m here but I’m not. Like an ice-cold shield over my warm-weak heart I’m not resisting I turned away but I’m here I’ve detached   So like anaesthetic, the …

Smiling :)

You know, the funny thing about a regular human being like me – just yesterday I felt like the whole world sank on me, and today I feel like I can never frown again. What amazing things this world can do to us, to change our mind, influence our thoughts, evoke our emotions.  And I …

Insecure Rebels, We are.

People. We are active rebels; rebelling against life, rebelling against rules, rebelling against each other. We are active controllers; constantly comparing, judging, criticising, categorising. Innate desperation. Making sense, being right, even while doing the wrong thing. Insecure, we are Insecure, obedient slaves of society. Bounded by our own chains, because laid path was easier than wild grass; …
