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”
To the boy looking for a fight
To the boy looking for a fight, how did this all start? I’m a little confused, because I remember my first impression of you – I didn’t think much. Ok, banter aside, I was really encouraged by your testimony. It was a perspective that I hadn’t really heard before, so it was interesting to learnContinue reading “To the boy looking for a fight”
City Rain
I see clusters of umbrellas in the distance And heads ducking under frantic hands As if to hide from the falling mist. They come in waves and wait at traffic lights, Watching cars pass by and neon lights glow. The rush of necessity drives them forward – They walk briskly, their legs sprayed by dropletsContinue reading “City Rain”
Living Inside the World of Film
Today, I went to the beach. The weather wasn’t particularly good – the sky was blanketed in clouds that brought a little drizzle to the earth, and it was cooler, yet more humid than most summer days that I am used to. Despite the terrible weather, I was still so determined to go, and weContinue reading “Living Inside the World of Film”
Tomorrow I Will Fly
Tonight, I found myself in the company Of old friends at different life stages, Making conversation as if we were never apart Or separated by different callings; Rarely do we ever see each other and Remind ourselves of the bond we share, Or the time we had Wondering where tomorrow takes us. I hear theirContinue reading “Tomorrow I Will Fly”
Nothing New
Just a little more, I fret, Of a treasure always sought; time – Elevating my need to start Living once more. Tomorrow I shall try something else, Hark, it is merely a trap And nothing that will bring you joy – Nothing but faithful reassurance, yet, Karma they cry. You patronise me about my wayContinue reading “Nothing New”
