As December came knocking on the door, and the year slowly came to the beginning of the end, I realized just how swiftly a year flies by. Each year, leaving something behind for us to remember, collecting the memories like snow globes, so that we, every once in a while, can revisit what was, but…

In between frail moments in time, I feel your particles dance with mine. Within fractured fractals of seconds, I hear your light shine with brilliant song. Through rolling boulders of minutes, I see our heartbeats build on bedrock joy. Amid showering meteors of hours, I smell your voice hum with rain-soaked pine. As these moments…

The earlier the sky becomes dark The sooner it breaks my heart No more late nights in the garden, BBQs with friends, or Theatre in the park The colder night’s approach Coughs, colds, and flu start doing their rounds Halloween events and Guy Fawkes night All things you start looking forward to Then good old…

I want to live somewhere else. Not in the city or here; Not in the town or that village; Not even over there. I want to live somewhere else. Not where pitched, the tent of sorrow; Not where hearts are starved of love. Not where there’s no promise of the morrow. I want to live…

The winter of discontent is still upon me, Spring has not quite sprung, Pink blossom does not line the roads, Only dead leaves and baron trees. My mood does reflect the weather, Awash with emotions like erratic waves. Soon, I will bask in the sunshine, And see the daffodils bloom, For now, I must hold…

Everywhere I turn There’s a shadow that lingers, Your memories are ever present Before my very eyes You radiate like the beauty you are You are the reason I write. In every moment You become my very purpose, A reason God created me Is to be near you My every breath Is tied to you…
