Not a Christmas Story
All of a sudden, I started trembling with fear. “Not again!”, I said putting my face in my hands to hide the despair. I was familiar with this pain of utter consternation. I was so scared that my heart started pounding. I couldn’t escape my senses, that were chaotically building up, and I knew something must … Continue reading Not a Christmas Story
WRONG SIDE OUT
I’m the girl that smokes with the windows closed, I ash my cigarette in a glass half full, But I keep searching on, For ways to attract karma, canceling drama. I am sick of them calling me darling, you’re troubling. But I’m crawling away, trying to make sense. So I accepted your guidance, but there’s … Continue reading WRONG SIDE OUT
Giving up on love
She gave up on love. She got burnt too many times and decided to stop wanting or looking for it, until eventually she was at peace with it. ‘Finally’, she said as a tear cornered her eye. ‘I am enough, I will be happy and grateful for my life!' She started praying for a better … Continue reading Giving up on love
Distant but together
Why does the moon light up the sea, When it can’t reach it? Why does the sea wash up the sand, When it can’t clean it? Why does your touch feel so real, When you are gone? And whenever I think of you, Your human eyes have become stars. Why does the moon glow on … Continue reading Distant but together

I’ve felt, I’ve lived, And I’ve been reborn. And in the silence, with clarity, It all made sense. It's a we this time, We breathe again, … Continue reading Breathe and…
Beauty?
Beauty... ahh, the long look in the mirror, gasping while you see the irregularities: extra skin or fat, double chin, too many wrinkles, and the list goes on. It's too easy to spot the wrong, the unnecessary and imperfect. Strangely enough, to some it becomes a challenge to see the good and authentic qualities. Someone … Continue reading Beauty?
Whys
- Break the rules? - Uhm...sure, I don't know. Maybe... It just so happens that people undergo unbelievable or ludicrous experiences, and still feel complacent and empty about their life. Curiously enough, something trivial can spark a revelation. The smallest of things can distort someone’s perspective, and make it spin like the past has never … Continue reading Whys
Nothing
It's all here... tracing it back. You can feel everything. Everything. It's almost as if in your hands you can balance 'good' and 'wrong', but not 'bad'. You've started as good, in all its purity and tenderness: eyes wide open, brain thirsty, and arms stretching to embrace the world. Now, the background sounds are dissipating, … Continue reading Nothing
