You carry around your phone cased in an artwork of sunflowers, showing the world a bit about you. To the world, you are most definitely a beaming canary yellow. A light that shines, revealing so much joy and excitement. You balanced out my cynicism in my younger years and I’d like to think I’ve adoptedContinue reading “Canary Yellow”

Seafoam Green
In a fantastical world of majestic and mythical creatures, I think you would be a mermaid. I don’t know why, but you just seem like the type – perhaps it’s because you can be elegant and a little playful. Elegant in how you present yourself, and playful in your jokes, which can sometimes be aContinue reading “Seafoam Green”
Maple Red
There have been a lot of people I’ve spent time with this summer, and many of them I didn’t expect would become people I love with much affection. You are one of them. Tonight I feel a little distracted and my words aren’t quite flowing right, but I hope you’ll bear with me. To theContinue reading “Maple Red”
Stone Blue
Through the boyish bravado you espouse in larger crowds and your loud and “intimidating” voice, I remember thinking, what is wrong with this person? You stood at the front of the lecture hall with a serious look – a look in which I would almost consider, stone-faced. Truth be told, I actually felt a bitContinue reading “Stone Blue”
Gingerbread Brown
I remember hearing about you in my second year of university, and seeing you every so often. I don’t believe we talked at all but I knew you seemed like a cool person. Like a gingerbread brown, you are a colour that doesn’t really stand out too much – you’re not loud and you aren’tContinue reading “Gingerbread Brown”
Champagne Pink
As I use what little time I have now to reflect and write, I wonder what it would have been like to never have met you. The question of going back and changing the past always presents a can of worms; I guess I wouldn’t know what I’d be missing out on. But, I thinkContinue reading “Champagne Pink”
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 amongContinue reading “Out in the Open”
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, The time I first met you And I think, you have changed – I see who you have become, WhoContinue reading “Summer Fling, pt. 2”
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. Dark skies shrouded the house With morning silence And the shuffle of sleepy feet, Hurrying to planned getaways On theContinue reading “Valentine’s Day”
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 glass door, Then sent her up stairways, Corridors of empty rooms And silent spaces. Words spoken, Her ears unlistening, SheContinue reading “The Eve of Valentine’s Day”
