Yesterday I got into a stranger’s car – She was a refreshing character, Who felt so real in this world Of courtesy and strange politics. We drove to unfamiliar places, Conversing about who we are, As well as the small things That we are blessed to have.

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”
