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 losing it as time went on takes me back to the days I travelled across the world, finding myself somewhereContinue reading “A Foreign Language”

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 the scent And perking up like a puppet.
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 from any other day you live? I remember listening to a conversation about living life as if you were onContinue reading “Autopilot”
Look Up At The Stars
Look up at the stars They’re like pieces of art Floating above the ground The air was cool and the night was dark, at least, away from where we found ourselves; away from the blinding lights of the gazebo decorated with warm fairy lights. Waiting for the last of us to arrive, we mused atContinue reading “Look Up At The Stars”
A line per person (#4theboys)
Like a stunned mullet, Aidan puzzled over the pronunciation of schnitzel for the thirteenth time that day. In his embarrassment, everyone laughed a good laugh and continued on with their nonsensical conversation, Wondering over the little details of the night, high on dark chocolate. I took off my jacket because the room was warmer thanContinue reading “A line per person (#4theboys)”
Shadows of the Night
Out of the corner of wary eyes, Any sudden movement Caught fearful glances, Making way for cautious footsteps And irrational apprehension. They kept in every urge to scream With every shadow that passed, Holding their breath tightly, Leaving each word Of meaningful conversation, To be halted by muffled gasps And small leaps to safer ground.
Stage Fright
She walked up the small flight of wooden stairs, the floorboards slowly creaking under her weight. What was she to expect? That she did not know, but she prepared for the worst. Her feet found the small x marked by masking tape, barely visible in the space lit only by the backstage black light. TheContinue reading “Stage Fright”
Chasing Dreams
My eyelids feel the weight of many hours researching and writing, reading and listening, and many more thoughts and duties. Tomorrow will be the same, only worse. The clock ticks over to eleven And curtains fall on another day, Lights still on in their eyes Even though the show Had come to an end. LethargicContinue reading “Chasing Dreams”
Trepidation
Last Monday morning, she sluggishly woke up to the first alarm she had set for the day. Her phone read, 7:30 am. Snoozing the alarm, she rolled over to catch a few more minutes of rest before the day shook her awake and demanded she works. Alarms went off at 15 minute intervals, never quiteContinue reading “Trepidation”
Breath of Life
You are the one who Breathed life into us, Shaping us from the dust, Turning us into something more Than unformed jars of broken clay. You placed us In different parts of the world, Purposed for greater things We could never fathom, Yet, we toss and turn, And break our bodies, And insist we knowContinue reading “Breath of Life”
