A Day Overdue
Whispering your name in the early hours of January used to be a midnight melody that we would fall asleep to. It has now bled into the curtains where I hide behind, listening and searching for it. Desperate, I pick the lock on my pillow where I keep what’s left. Your smile has a sepia […]

Little Snippet
Now that we have “Officially” stepped into 2022, I would like to wish you the best for the New Year! It would also be a good time to finally do a proper introduction—don’t you think?

Lost on the shores of 98′,two halves of a heart would find each other.Both were from out-of-townlooking to get awayin hopes they’d discoverwhat their Summer had to offer. With nowhere else to go,disoriented with time,they found themselves at the water’s edge.Under a Summer’s glow,Fate watched with an open mindand wondered what would happen below the […]

Depressively Content
On occasion, I like to take my mind out for a walk and stroll the streets of thought to hear what the rain has to say. For we’re alike (the rain and I)—our words falling only to puddle in the most inconvenient of places where people look down on us. No need to worry though. […]
