I would be lying if I said no one had the least amount of idea of the pain I’m in. As lighting accompanies thunder, so is my life a flush of humour, mingled with the wutherings of my wrath. When the alarm goes off at nine, I leave my bed with damp eyes that haven’tContinue reading “I would be lying”

For being loved is my only plea
It has been raining,And this song came up on the radio.I like the gentle beat, the subtle feel;I wonder how the lyrics will go – “Come up to meet youTell you I’m sorryYou don’t know how lovely you areI had to find youTell you I need youTell you I set you apart” Last month, IContinue reading “For being loved is my only plea”
An open letter to Grace Town (Chemical Hearts, 2020)
“We’re just a collection of atoms that come together for a brief period of time, and we fall apart” Dear Grace, Despite all the hopeless expectations I had from the book and the movie, you managed to bust them all and steal our hearts away.

Fragrance of frangipani
Your good will came to me like the fragrance of frangipani,So redolent, they reeked of summer and spring.Fluting like high notes through the breeze,They bloom like stars tied up to trees.In shades of white and pink and red,Sweet nectar to the bumble bees they fed.The trail of scent it leaves behind, Is not to forget,Continue reading “Fragrance of frangipani”
Daughter dearest
Show them what you’ve trained for, daughter dearest,Show them the claws you’ve sharpened,And the teeth you’ve grown. Show them your knuckles,The knuckles that have bled for this.Get close, close enough to show them the whitesOf your ocean like pretty eyes. Show them those tears you’ve shed,For every time the ones you loved, fled.Howl, and howlContinue reading “Daughter dearest”

Fleur
Scarlet geraniums and cranesbillSpake in hushed tonesMade friends with sweet basilWith good and freewill.Blooming in daintyAnd sparkling like quartz so flintyIn touches of blue and purpleLay the asters growing in bushels of circles.Honeyed magnolia for the love of natureCapturing and luring every creature.Heliotropes spring in blue and whiteYou be dazzled! They seem so brightRosy camelliasContinue reading “Fleur”
Memories are an imminent doom
It was that time of year again.The leaves were falling, birds chirped,Sales for coats and scarfs were plastered on the outside of every store,Smiling faces captured out of time. I slowly made my way past it all,Past the school where I first met you,Past the park where we used to play,Past the abandoned store. SoContinue reading “Memories are an imminent doom”
You smile like you’re about to cry
You plaster on your cement smile,But when it dries, it will crackAnd all that’s leftIs shattered bits and pieces.What do you see in your reflection?Do you see what we see?Or do you see your tearsThat thrive behind your mask of liesAnd emotionless ‘I am fines’?Grief has reigned inside your head for years on end. YouContinue reading “You smile like you’re about to cry”
