Grumpy

He donned passion like a cloak worn backwards, its intensity hidden from the world yet burning fiercely within. Humor, twisted in its delivery, found its way out in sardonic whispers, a mirror image of laughter that lingered in the shadows. Luck, that fickle mistress, danced in reverse around him, teasing with false promises and fleeting chances. Inappropriate love, a tangled web of emotions, wrapped around his heart like thorns in a forbidden garden, blooming in defiance of reason. An exact clock ticked relentlessly, a reminder of the unyielding march of time, while peace and quiet remained elusive, slipping through his … Continue reading Grumpy

Simple moments

The first cup of coffee in the morning is like a warm embrace for my soul. The aroma fills the air and wraps around me, awakening my senses and preparing me for the day ahead. It’s a ritual of comfort and anticipation, a moment of stillness before the world comes rushing in. Empty bookstores hold a special kind of magic.

Let us run away …

In the land where mangos grow, let’s escape and find our own paradise. Underneath the celestial canopy, we’ll revel in each other’s intoxicating essence, promising to embrace like youthful paramours from four decades past. I’ll commit to memory every freckle and every pore on your cocoa-hued skin, while you hold me as if I were a feather in the breeze. Share with me your secrets and tales, evoking laughter, smiles, and tears, as we pledge an eternity together. Let’s never lose sight of why we fled, and let’s always remember to reminisce. Greet each new day like the unfurling morning … Continue reading Let us run away …

Fragility

As I sit here, contemplating the words on the page in front of me, I am struck by the realization of my own fragility. Like an un-agreeable mark of ink on a page, I resist my own depth and darkness. I am reminded that I am not invincible, that I am susceptible to the trials and tribulations of life. Just as the ink on the page can smudge and fade, so too can I be affected by the challenges that come my way. But in this fragility, I find a sense of humility and understanding. I am not perfect, and … Continue reading Fragility

We rise

I did not know that the bodies of women were meant to be a museum of tragedies, a collection of scars and wounds etched into our skin like ancient hieroglyphs. We are expected to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, to bear the burdens of others without breaking. But we are not meant to be vessels for the sorrows of the world, we are not meant to carry the ocean without drowning. Our bodies are not meant to be a repository for pain and suffering, but a vessel for strength and resilience. We are not defined by … Continue reading We rise

Words of love

Words are the echoes of love, lingering in the chambers of my heart. I write to preserve the essence of love that once danced within me, to keep its flame burning in the recesses of my soul. For poetry is the language of affection, a tender embrace captured in the verses of a lover. And if the poet is the interpreter of silence, then who am I? I am a woman who breathes life into each line, even if they never lead back to me. I reveal myself through the tapestry of my words, even if I remain hidden within … Continue reading Words of love

In my heart there is no space for bitterness

In my heart, I hold no bitterness, no anger, no lingering resentment for those who have crossed my path, leaving scars upon my soul. They who neglected, hurt, and abused, their actions like a tempest, have come and gone, leaving me weathered but not broken. I harbor no grudge for those who turned away, their words a dagger, their disregard a heavy burden. For in the tapestry of life, I have come to understand the intricate weave of human frailty. I stand before the mirror of my own mistakes, acknowledging the times I too have stumbled, been selfish, and caused … Continue reading In my heart there is no space for bitterness

To have their eyelashes likened to the golden tendrils of sunlight, dancing through the morning’s embrace, casting warmth upon the world.
