It wasn’t that long ago That we were complete strangers Oblivious to each other’s existence Fighting the demons in my head Never did I expect that I’d find an ally An extraordinary person A subject to my imagination And a muse to my verse An epiphany of sorts That indeed, love can be found When…

Candyfloss and Cigarettes
Looking beyond the fogged window Sitting cross legged on the couch A hot cup of coffee feels cozy in my hands As I crave for something intangible Something indescribable in words Uncaptured in imagery Something that is yet to be written Failed to be spoken Something as strong as a storm And stubborn as sea…
Stay A While
Good things take time But do great things happen in the blink of an eye? Maybe it’s too early Perhaps I don’t even know you well Or at all But I have your voice echoing In my mind, creating a melody I’d love to hear often I have snapshots of your expressions Lined up behind…
Stars and Shells

Stardust
I have been waiting for something good to come my way Something warm, something gentle Something not so heavy on my chest Some ease of breath, perhaps? Sometimes I ponder, unto myself Is life what it seems to be? Am I the only me? Will I be remembered? I ruminate deep inside Like you are…
