I'm not a writer but I write , Sometimes, let the paper be your partner and the pen be your words , And let the words dwell on the paper in the same way the stars festoon the night sky.  I'm not a writer but I write , Let the ink be your sword and the paper be your shield , Guarding you from e  Read More...

11 PM. The film was beautiful, He and I walk hand in hand, There is a storm coming, They always come by surprise, Starting with light rain, And then hit unexpectedly, Always leaving a huge wound, One that could take years to heal, I had no idea, That soon there would be a wound so vast, So powerful,  Read More...

Hazel eyes, a crooked smile That was my every morning's sight Furtive glances, a crimson flush Blew away the webs of a dull summer night ; Once a night owl,  Now waited for the dawn, Tiptoeing to the terrace with a coffee mug Was the first task of my morn'.  The birds chirped, the clouds m  Read More...

If Ever... If ever you fall, May that be only in love.// If ever you cry, May that be only in happiness. // If ever you stumble,  May it be a stepping stone. // If ever you break, May it be a leg. // If ever you are last, May it be saved for the best. // If ever you fail, May it be a path  Read More...

It was a rainy night. I unlocked the front door of my house porch and made my way inside. "Great!" I whispered to myself. I was a complete mess.
