  • Fading Embers

    Fading Embers

    Once my heart was hugeNow, it’s barely noticeable,My songs were loudBut yet now they’re but echoesEven whispers are louder. Once, my love was undyingYet now it fades away,The more I loveThe more I hurtBut what do I do to be happyIf my heart is but gone. Oh, where is the warmthThe warmth I used to…

  • Poetry- To Become A Child Again

    Poetry- To Become A Child Again

    If I could become a little child again, I would revisit my home. That land flowing with milk and honey. That fertile land of picturesque greeneries, And springs of placid waters, Cascading the rough slopes of verdant hills. That land of low-lying plains that stretch far, To where the sky kisses the trees. That land…

  • Poetry- Hokkaido From Frosted Windowpanes

    Poetry- Hokkaido From Frosted Windowpanes

    The world sinks into a commiserating stillness— abstracted conversations chiming with the shuddering snow. Tracks sway slowly over mountainous curves, a landscape of miso and stagnated ports buried amidst white-slated sheets. A dormant cry etches train windows as I glance outward, as though the gods of winter’s embrace carry in every unboarding-footstep traced from cascading…

  • Poetry- A December Dream

    Poetry- A December Dream

    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…

  • Poetry- The Senses Between

    Poetry- The Senses Between

    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…

  • Winter Blues

    Winter Blues

    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…

  • Poetry- I Want To Live Somewhere

    Poetry- I Want To Live Somewhere

    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…

  • Poetry- The Unseen Journey

    Poetry- The Unseen Journey

    I see myself smiling at the mirror I can’t tell if that’s how I really feel. I close my eyes, Tears start racing down my face. I feel the pain slowly stabbing my cheeks Making my eyes burn each time I blink. My lips shatter like pieces of glass every time I try to speak.…

  • Poetry- The Serpent’s Sting

    Poetry- The Serpent’s Sting

    Greed A serpent lurking underneath, Amongst his brethren He never sleeps On his skin lies dwell The more he has The less he’s satisfied Greed A killer amongst men, His daggers pierce deeper than most His voice is disguised in honey Beware of these tools His name alone is a trap Lions embrace his traits.…

  • Poetry- Distances We Are Apart

    Poetry- Distances We Are Apart

    I don’t want to leave you The thought alone fills me with fear, I am afraid to lose you, To let you slip away, disappear. I don’t want to drift away from you, Your heartbeat is the rhythm of my days, Because if only you truly knew, How endlessly I love you in  countless ways.…
