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 glass door, Then sent her up stairways, Corridors of empty rooms And silent spaces. Words spoken, Her ears unlistening, SheContinueContinue reading “The Eve of Valentine’s Day”

Growing Pains
The time spent together Cannot be undone – do I regret it? Who can say time heals all? Then perhaps I am weak, Swept away By the course of time, A cruel ruler of the ages, Who laughs at the growing pains Of mortality. But they scoff, “What a gloomy girl,” Then they retort, “OhContinueContinue reading “Growing Pains”
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 rememberContinueContinue reading “Summer Fling”
Golden Hour
There is a time when the night Calls for a little quiet so as Not to disturb your neighbour. My favourite people decided to Return home before the night falls further, And the night doesn’t quite Seem right without them. As we lie on the floor eyeing the ceiling, I think back to the hoursContinueContinue reading “Golden Hour”
A Light Slumber
The clock had struck two and I found myself collapsing on a cluster Of scattered cushions and messy blankets, Drifting away into a light slumber. Today was a rarity – a small lull In a lifetime of chaotic proportion, And it was a joy to rest, but Many times I awoke to footsteps of men,ContinueContinue reading “A Light Slumber”
Write a Poem About Me
Tonight, I met someone new In a warm and familiar house; We sat around a wooden table And my friends began talking about my words – My words, which have pulled heartstrings. They asked for a poem, One fit for a boy who hid stories Behind his tightly sealed lips, Yet, there is only soContinueContinue reading “Write a Poem About Me”
Texas Hold’em
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 theContinueContinue reading “Texas Hold’em”
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 peopleContinueContinue reading “Sleeping Potions”
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 dropletsContinueContinue reading “City Rain”
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 theirContinueContinue reading “Tomorrow I Will Fly”
