Se Souvenir

This year, I’ve lived through my first redundancy, moments of debilitating grief, and much more. There have been times that weren’t easy at all, but it is a great joy to look back on the happy moments I thought I had lost to anxious rumination and share that with you. A few years ago, IContinue reading “Se Souvenir”

The Window to the Sky

As a new beginning dawned On a beach where we once stood, During the dark hues of a dusk, Where the stars were shy And the waters, mysterious. We smiled at each other And greeted the cloudy sky. Like a young heartbeat, the window to the sky slowly flickered a pale yellow. To know yourContinue reading “The Window to the Sky”

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 crave could never quite reach anyone’s ears. This snippet was part of a poem I wrote long ago, and IContinue reading “Marble Grey”

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 of bubbliness which many people notice and, I’m sure, admire about you. It wasn’t until a few months later thatContinue reading “Honey Yellow”

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, I was a little intimidated by you—you were just really weird! I didn’t know we’d become such good friends. CloserContinue reading “Ocean Blue”

Tortilla Brown

Let’s say I was told to name three things that I associate with you. Burritos, water and generically cute things come to mind. I know you love getting burritos at Guzman y Gomez, and cute stuff like コウペンちゃん (Koupen-chan) or Hello Kitty. The water part? Well, the only topic we seem to muster up latelyContinue reading “Tortilla Brown”

Neon Green

I have been really challenged spending more time with you. You are very different to the people I usually hang out with, and it’s definitely a big change. Not that it’s a bad thing! I think the cultural differences can be refreshing, but other times it’s a little hard I’ll admit. Like a neon greenContinue reading “Neon Green”

Stop Sign Red

I can’t believe how much you’ve changed since the last time I met you. From the rigid person who held such an authoritative presence with such intensity, uncomfortable to most, you have become this mellow man that seems to know his way around the world—you even wrote a poem! I remember the surprise I felt

Misty Purple

I don’t think I’ve ever met a purple before. This whole day, I’ve been letting my mind wander, hoping that someone would spring to mind. However, I now wonder whether such a person exists. I imagine they would be someone who plays the bass, perhaps gives off a strong aura that’s a little darker thanContinue reading “Misty Purple”
