My Tribe
We chose to spiral together . . . Upon a path cracked and curved, We walked alone, Lost and aimless Unloved but undeterred, Words from another made no mark, Ours was a story carved in blood, Engraved in pain, Wrapped within the teardrops, That flowed in the dark. We existed in a world far apart, […]
The Marital Day PTSD
The rite of marriage comes with many a step. The decision to marry, then finding the right person, still electing to get married, putting out familial fires – cus’ of course someone has to shit on something – then finally comes the grueling process of getting married. Of all the processes I did not expect […]
The Problem With Big Decisions
And actually taking them among other things . . . Change is horrifying, everyone hates to change. We’d spend years trying to avoid change and if there is some change upcoming, we drag our feet till the very end of it. Me included. What good can come of it? Why is it necessary? We are […]
A Universe Of Wants
The combined entity of desire and loss . . . Tearing through the fabric of time, Shifting the cosmos aside, I met you where the galaxy ended, Awe struck and lost, Heart all lit up, A blood rich, beating bolide. I spun in an elliptic, A singular orbit of the isolated, Reds, greens and blacks […]
Things My Friends Taught Me About Myself
No one knows you better than your friends, maybe your enemies but that’s not the point. Usually, it’s like a play where we all play our parts, some more complicated than the others but it’s still a part regardless but it’s only amongst the closest of our friends that we let go of our script […]
Sunflower
The petals of the dead . . . Caught under the dried ground The tired bud unfurls and climbs, A slow decent towards the pale glow The fading promise of light. Twisting, bending, and shifting through the soil, Leaping towards the stray droplets in hunger, Undeterred by the shaking and rumbling ground. The bud peeked […]
3 Things That Don’t Make You A Better Human
A potato is a potato . . . There are no guides or any sort of checklists that tell us or inform us on how to be better humans, but I guess after a certain level of observations and pain staking trial and error methods we kind of learn how NOT to be better humans. […]
3 Books I Did Not Expect To Enjoy
An unexpected gift of words . . . I am picky, very picky about the choices of my books. I love to read but something about the book must call me otherwise I usually keep pushing it away. This same stubbornness made many a friend of mine to stop or at least hesitate before pitching […]
The 3 Toxic Entities You Get To Come Across And How To Avoid Them
….or something along those lines Crowds are difficult to manage, it’s too many people, too many emotions, too much everything to be honest. If I could, I would dig a giant hole, crawl inside and call it a day. Anyone who says they love to party, is a liar. Who likes to be voluntarily around […]
A Portrait Of You
An image built in echoes . . . Souls and songs Lay entwined in leaves A garden so bountiful Grew within me, Red tulips fell from my lips As I declared my acceptance With a kiss. You were made of flowers A potpourri of sentiments so rich, Dripping with carnations, A vibrant red. An […]
