2021

Water; a form that changes shape to conform, but does not belong to the place it temporarily rests.

Blogposts of thoughts, letters, poetry, a little bit of madness, and more.

At the beginning of the year, when I was free from the burden of university, various ministries and work, I made a commitment to write something everyday so that my time would not go to waste. This lasted for two and a half months until life just got in the way. I am still writing, just at a slower pace! Please enjoy.

Summer Orange

I am reminded of you on Monday mornings. I walk at a leisurely pace through Darling Harbour, taking my time to enjoy the sun on my skin, breathing in the air and the music playing in my earbuds. On the Goods Line, it’s the Monarch butterflies that dance around the flowers in the flowerbeds, which…

Out in the Open

Why do words feel looser on the tongue When night falls and stars shine? Is it because the air flirts with your lungs Without the baggage of an intrusive day, And busy thoughts? I feel the grass under my fingertips, I see the stars shine when the clouds disperse, And I hear your voice among…

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 remember…

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 learn…

Distance

Colours

Marble Grey

If you asked me what I see when I look at you, I’d stifle an awkward smile and cast downward eyes. A little boy lost amongst the trees—a forest of expectation, temptation you so desperately…

Honey Yellow

I remember the first time I met you—it was at an event just before I started university. You introduced yourself to me in the reserved and polite way that you do, espousing that little bit…

Ocean Blue

You came into my life like a strange flood rushing in. I remember the first moment I met you, and the impression you made on me. As a first-year student just starting out at university,…

A Foreign Language

To be sitting in a classroom, where I understood maybe one in every twenty words spoken, where all but one other understands the language – it was an unequivocal feeling. The strange familiarity of mentally…

Coffee

He wandered around alleyways, Searching for the place Of their rendezvous. Like a dead man walking, He inched into the hidden café And inhaled the caffeinated aroma As if it were a drug, Breathing in…

Autopilot

Yesterday was a strange day. It was full of many things to do, many people to see and many conversations to tend to. And people who know me would probably ask: what makes it different…

Summer Fling, pt. 2

To the ones with which I have spent the summer, I have found so much delight in the conversations we have had and the wanderings we have shared. I remember a couple of years ago,…

Valentine’s Day

I awoke to a whispered laugh, exclaiming he hated waking up sleepers in the night. They both chuckled quietly as I lazily slurred, “I’m awake”. He was glad he didn’t need to shake me awake.…

The Eve of Valentine’s Day

She chased after the time Lost to sleep and disorganisation – Flitting wind and rain-swept hair, She fought the vertical rain With her navy blue umbrella. Stranger familiars greeted her With kind words at the…

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…

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…

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…

Tomorrow I shall write something new

Hey my love, I buried you a month or two ago I keep thinking that you’re standing on my floor That you’re waiting there for me Tomorrow I shall write something new. I feel like…

Today I sat on the couch

Today I sat on the couch Thinking about yesterday; It was a day spent hiding From the scorching sun, In new and bizarre places. I found myself immersed in the world of music – I…
