Tomorrow I hope to see you again. I feel like this is how I am – I am always longing for your company. A couple of hours with you is never enough. I always find myself wanting to tell you many things, but only managing to muster a few words of hyper-condensed sentences that skipsContinue reading “Tomorrow I hope to see you again”

Today I was plunged into darkness
Today I was plunged into darkness. I stood in a vintage-inspired shower-box of emerald subway tiles under a warm tungsten light. The faucets were of a matte bronze colour, matching the showerhead and other touches found in different corners of the bathroom. I preemptively recoiled into the corner, preparing for an onslaught of cold waterContinue reading “Today I was plunged into darkness”
Yesterday I woke up from a dream
Yesterday I woke up from a dream – The world welcomed a new normal, A new normal of everlasting days And sleepless nights. I lived in a world of grey cellophane, Of the lies we tell ourselves, And monochromatic events That forfeited souls still live for. In that world lived a boy with a beanie;Continue reading “Yesterday I woke up from a dream”
Sunny Days, Cloudy Judgement
In days gone by, she may have given Her thoughts not a second glance, But entertaining them leaves her So uncertain. For better or for worse, Her head has been up in the clouds, Stuck on spiraling thoughts about – Herself. On sunny days she looks up to the sky, The birds fly and bicker,Continue reading “Sunny Days, Cloudy Judgement”
To the boy with lonely eyes
To the boy with lonely eyes, You were a quiet whirlwind who drifted into my life. A boy who had eyes deeper than the ocean and eyes filled with a void of endless thoughts. In some ways, it was difficult to know if I could reach you amongst all those thoughts, and it was aContinue reading “To the boy with lonely eyes”
Keychain
My travel companion and I Are joined at the hip – A pocket-sized friend Who follows me to The ends of the earth. Exciting adventures lined my calendar; From alleyways of spice, To dark rooms with bright windows Peering into Singapore and Japan. Those were the days I could laugh with you And love you.Continue reading “Keychain”
Lost in the Crowd
For a while, I think I’ve been a little lost. Maybe I’ve been a little too immersed in the wonders and tragedies of the world. Getting lost in nature becomes harder as urbanisation happens in the outer parts of Sydney – not that I mind, because I really enjoyed walking around the city at nightContinue reading “Lost in the Crowd”
Natto
Out of the corner of my eye, You rushed in Like an eccentric, oddly Reflecting little of your truths. And so, in front of me Was a bowl of acquired taste, So s t i c k y and soft, So strange and prickly On my taste buds; It wasn’t unpleasant. A new experience forContinue reading “Natto”
Gratitude
Have you had a song written about you? Someone has, in fact, written a song for me and it just so happens that they are an excellent composer and thoughtful sound designer. I never understood why musicians were so sought after, but I totally get it now. To know someone thought of you and putContinue reading “Gratitude”
Just say Yessnock
I have recently found the time away from responsibilities to sit down and enjoy the memories I’ve made, looking to old photos and videos of times that were far from the loneliness of isolation. I was a child who did (and still does) not like candid photos being taken – not the kind of candidContinue reading “Just say Yessnock”
