Confession

There's something about lonely nights Remembering old lovers Thinking of the blood stained Jesus and the cacophony of election rumors. The mind transcends from one topic to another Looks at the moon for a closure Stares at the naked trees And feels the burn of the cigarette on the fingertip. I could confess that I …

Rhymes

I took a plunge in a mug or two of beer, I lit a cigarette and shed a tear. I looked up to the sky smirked at the moon for shining too bright I mistook the lights of a flight to be that of a star twinkling with all its might.. I type my words …

She

Strolling beneath the moonlit sky, I found myself sitting solemnly by the roadside lost in her own little world while the world passed by. I wanted to ask her what went so wrong, why is her voice forlorn, when did she break so bad, where is that innocent child, how did she still manage to …

Drown

I crossed over tonight to a myriad ocean of emotions with realisations I would carry to my grave. You stand so far away, almost stranded yet I don't want to save you anymore. Colours pale, voices drown as I put my head underwater, I am weightless floating freely, as I dive deeper and deeper. Fears …

Another heartbreak

It's strange, how the heart breaks at things seemingly insignificant, and you are left scarred yet words fail to blame anyone else but yourself. The outside world as pathetic it may be pales in comparison to the darkness inside and leaves us in a void you can never recover from. Some losses are simply irreplaceable. …

Ramblings

A heart now brazenly cold, and a forever winter state of mind, I no longer feel love, empathy, or joy. Too young to die, too old to give up either, too privileged to complain, and too selfish to fight for causes mightier. Entrapped between a body regulated by this society and nature, and a mind …

Cravings

Winter breeze and smoky thrills Oh Darling, what a night it is! A tipsy soul and a broken guitar, and melody that strings our heart together, Weak on my knees I wish to hold you dear, Fearless and brazen. Cravings dawn on me, for lips to bite And a soul to please, Darling, please stay …

You

I, intoxicated and dry, devoid of senses whatsoever, drown deeper and deeper in a void inconsolable. You, immersed in the worldly pursuits, glance at me with pity, and race ahead of me, unperturbed as usual. You amaze me sometimes. But then again, you are only a human and me, just a mere shadow of the …

a hopeless romantic

Another Valentine's Day is right around the corner. The social media is afloat with memes, reminders, and jokes about this much-hyped day which no longer makes any sense to most of us now. But let's admit, once upon a time, it did make a lot of difference to most of us during our teens, as …

winter rain

I want to write about the winter rains tonight. Its way past midnight and my sleep is nowhere in sight. Perhaps I should've skipped the afternoon sleep that lasted way past my dinner time. But then lately I haven't been sleeping well at all given the number of weird dreams that have plagued me for …
