First Crush

A soul that's different to mine, almost a world apart but the attraction is undeniable and the feeling's too strong. I finally understand how it is to truly see someone. From the way the corner of his eyes crinkle when he laughs, and how easily he offers a smile or the way he speaks and …

Time

It is a distant lover, a seductress, with a teasing smile, it beckons closer, closer, yet so far then it is gone within seconds. It is the fog before your path that conceals what is ahead and creeps across your skin entrapping you in its thread. It is the morning and the night, all the …

Stories

I could fill a million shelves with the stories of our lives, leather bound volumes and countless archives. Stacked together in neat rows, gold lettering down the spines in many different colours, all so demure in their lines. Some would collect dust, hidden away from sight, while others would be worn the bindings no longer …

Silence

Ever since I can remember I could hear what silence said Just like the song on an instrument that a musician often played Sometimes I would quietly listen trying not to make a sound like when I used to hide away hoping I wouldn't be found At times I thought I misheard and that it …

Water

And, just like water there will be times where we carve through rocks or fill up oceans by gently flowing while other times just like rain we will fall so fast without direction and hope that we land without breaking or that someone catches us before we hit the ground - S

Little Feet

Dear Readers, I had started writing this a few weeks ago as a tribute to all the innocent children in the world who have been killed in terrible and unfortunate events that should not have occurred. There have been horrific cases in places like Gaza, Iraq, Myanmar, Syria, attacks in Europe and the list goes …

Unanswered

A bottomless, fathomless, endless expanse of thoughts that have silent fingers and a voiceless whisper. They caress and stir the unanswered questions that are larger than life and life itself. Their journey leads not to a dead end but the gaping mouth of an ocean of curiosity. There is water but the thirst is not …
