Spring Ave

i knew you were in torpor. for the winter air, just like before, didn’t allow you to soar nor spread your wings; or create new beginnings. but now we’re at an ending— and i could just remember how close you were by the dying ember; singing a tune or two, of a melody just for…

(not really) New Year

Waking up to a new dawn, the calendar has stopped. Scared of change, not looking forward to another start. But there’s nothing to worry about! Just like the calendar regenerating a new set of numbers every year, providing a false hope of ending last year’s miseries and establishing fresh reveries; everything will always be the…

Vague

I come and go, I ebb and crash; sometimes persistent, sporadically ambivalent, mostly unexpected. Drowning is often, but just to see you once or twice over and over, I come and go, I ebb and crash again; unsure and unclear of where I am in a vast ocean connected to a skyline that would take…

Wheel of Fate

They go on a ferris wheel; spinning round on the same path. Travelling next to each other, facing the same fate, same chances they create, but never together. It ends before it begins; circles and circles they go until it stops without them ever meeting each other at the top. -fin-

Nightmare

I woke up gasping, crying, shaking, my heart pounding as my body's trembling. Relief--I felt for the time-being, 'cause I saw your face when I woke, darling. 'I'm here, worry not,' you were speaking. I nod and hug you, totally believing. You kissed my forehead as we continued snuggling. 'I'll always be by your side,' --…

Cracks

Closed-off, silent, thoughts mysteriously hidden. Opened, interrupted, thoughts suddenly enlightened. Walls cracked, core has been seen, barriers torn down. Scared of a repeat, afraid to commit, it's time to retreat now. -fin- (featured image: skulpt on deviantart)  

Spiral

I looked down; there was you, spiralling down the dark abyss. So I followed, then I fell, and fell, until I have utterly fallen. (but you've spiralled down with someone else). -fin-

Once I Loved a Writer

Every sentence in his prose, each line, each verse in his poetry; all the anecdotal inklings exuded the same passion as me. Once I loved a writer, perhaps because of the similarity. My comfort zone, indeed; someone who understood me perfectly. I immortalised him in my journal; just as he did to me in his.…

Escape

Day and night, I struggle; stuck in one of the hardest battles of all. One day I'm helpless in a never ending labyrinth, looking for something I can't even comprehend. Trying to make sense of where to go; but still not knowing what to look for. Running like there is no end. The next day…

Used

You craved for my company, you said it would just take time; so I waited. You promised me soon you will reciprocate my feelings, despite breaking my heart in the process many times; so I stayed. But truth is you just liked the idea that I love you, you just enjoyed the feeling of being…
