You’re a leader

There is a phrase I’ve been hearing a lot lately. I’m not sure when it began – sometime this year, I noticed a strange pattern. In my experience, it isn’t uncommon for someone to ask my opinion on a matter, and that’s what people have been doing. It often comes after some sort of discussionContinue reading “You’re a leader”

Summer Fling

I close my eyes and peer into the past, reliving the memories I have made with you this summer. I remember the spontaneity of a drive To a place I hadn’t known – To a home where I felt at home, And the car ride conversations In which I got to know you. I rememberContinue reading “Summer Fling”

Golden Hour

There is a time when the night Calls for a little quiet so as Not to disturb your neighbour. My favourite people decided to Return home before the night falls further, And the night doesn’t quite Seem right without them. As we lie on the floor eyeing the ceiling, I think back to the hoursContinue reading “Golden Hour”

A Light Slumber

The clock had struck two and I found myself collapsing on a cluster Of scattered cushions and messy blankets, Drifting away into a light slumber. Today was a rarity – a small lull In a lifetime of chaotic proportion, And it was a joy to rest, but Many times I awoke to footsteps of men,Continue reading “A Light Slumber”

Write a Poem About Me

Tonight, I met someone new In a warm and familiar house; We sat around a wooden table And my friends began talking about my words – My words, which have pulled heartstrings. They asked for a poem, One fit for a boy who hid stories Behind his tightly sealed lips, Yet, there is only soContinue reading “Write a Poem About Me”

Texas Hold’em

As we sat in the dark, Under the distant light Of streetlamps and dim stars, He dealt a round of cards On our table of synthetic grass. It was a little strange, Playing a game of poker With people I’d least expect, But it was a small joy. My skin tingled a little Underneath theContinue reading “Texas Hold’em”

I forgot to eat.

Today, I finally had some time to myself at home. No, I didn’t stay in bed all day and watch Netflix, or anything unproductive like that. I did a lot of cleaning. Sometimes I can get a little carried away, and that may mean I forget to do important things… like eating. Yes, I forgotContinue reading “I forgot to eat.”

Much Thought, Little Time

Long time no talk! Oh, I guess that’s a little inaccurate depending on how you look at it. I saw you two weeks ago, but it feels like it has been a while. I hope you’re well! When I see your stories on Instagram and the creative things you’ve been working on, I just getContinue reading “Much Thought, Little Time”

To the one who pushes me forward

To the one who pushes me forward, I always enjoy it when you message me. Why? Well, because I know you’re inviting me out somewhere and you know I love making plans – even more so when they’re spontaneous. There is something about last-minute plans that just seem so genuine and fun. Perhaps this particularContinue reading “To the one who pushes me forward”

Sleeping Potions

Sitting under a small chandelier, I see visions of tea parties Non-existent to the naked eye, But to the visionaries, they see new Worlds of pure ecstasy. I may be a little distant from reality Because of mood-lifting potions, Toxic to the soul, But I find joy in unusual states – Is that why peopleContinue reading “Sleeping Potions”
