I want to live in a house made of poetry II

I want to live in a house made of poetry, where every corner echoes with the rhythm of words and the walls are adorned with verses. In this house, the air is thick with the scent of metaphors and the floors are paved with stanzas. I would wrap myself in blankets woven from the lines of my favorite poems, feeling the warmth of their meaning seep into my bones as I drift into a slumber of lyrical dreams. When morning comes, I would bathe in the essence of poetry, letting it cleanse my spirit and awaken my senses. The words … Continue reading I want to live in a house made of poetry II

The star will guide me …

Mortal as I am, I am but a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of time. I know that my days are numbered, and yet, when I gaze up at the night sky and let my imagination soar with the stars, I feel a sense of freedom and weightlessness. In those moments, I am no longer bound by the constraints of my earthly existence. I am lifted up by the serried multitude of the stars, and my spirit dances among them in their circular course. My feet no longer touch the earth, and I am filled with a sense of … Continue reading The star will guide me …

Here

In the whispers of “here,” there lies a symphony of belonging, an echo of warmth that transcends the boundaries of place. It’s not just the coordinates on a map that define home, but the gentle intertwining of hands, the embrace of souls that make a space sacred. Here is a melody, a harmony woven by the hearts of those who see you as the loveliest thing, yet never seek to confine your spirit. Time becomes a tender dance, a series of lyrical pauses where “here” becomes a person, a memory, a song that lingers in the air. Across vast oceans, … Continue reading Here

In a world where fleeting connections and temporary pleasures often take precedence, there’s a profound beauty in being the one who stays.

Innocence

When I was younger, we lost a bird to a broken foot and I cried for days until mum cupped my face and spoke words that echoed in my heart “if you keep loving so much, you’ll spend your life digging yourself out of the heart cavities of people who do not love you in the same way.” I couldn’t tell her then, that we talk about losing naïveté like shedding weight, as though it’s the best thing that could happen to us. But nobody told me that it’s okay to fall headfirst into people and if they move out … Continue reading Innocence

Destination

I wear your idiosyncrasies like a tailored garment, each stitch a whisper of your secrets. The black dress, a silent witness to every hidden kiss, cradles memories of our past. Amid the relentless march of digital clocks, your essence intertwines with mine, a silent, unyielding bond. Navigating the bustling streets, I tread carefully, evading the reckless dance of runaway cars, yearning for more days to bask in the symphony of your breath. You are mine in a way distinct from the victor clutching a trophy; you are entwined within me, woven into the very fabric of my being, an inseparable … Continue reading Destination

… and love for most of them, was this weak ugly way of being.

In the corners of my soul, love once dwelled, a fragile presence, a tender whisper that left me too exposed, too vulnerable. It was a delicate dance, a hesitant embrace, an admission of the wildflowers that bloomed within my very being. But love, for most, was this frail, unseemly way of existing, a state that rendered me too open, too sincere about the secrets nestled in my bones, too fluid, too susceptible to the fires of passion. And so, I learned to apologize for love. I sat on my hands, restraining their longing to reach out. I curled up my … Continue reading … and love for most of them, was this weak ugly way of being.

The other day …

The other day, I took a deep breath and decided it was time to declutter my soul. I gathered up all the fears and stories that had been weighing me down, the guilt and memories that had been holding me back. I spread them out on the old floor of my house, examining each one before deciding their fate. I peeled off the layers of hypocrisies and envy, anger, and selfishness, letting them fall away like old paint chipping off a wall. I found the cracks and corners of my rusty heart where they had been hiding, and I released … Continue reading The other day …

From far away …

In the grand theater of life, there are those who deserve a front-row seat, basking in the glow of your love and light. Yet, there are others who, like distant stars, shine best from afar. It’s a delicate dance, this balancing act of affection and distance, of closeness and separation. Each relationship, a delicate thread woven into the tapestry of our existence, holds its own weight. Some lift us higher, like gentle zephyrs beneath our wings, guiding us towards the sunlit peaks of our aspirations. Others, like heavy burdens, pull us down into the abyss of doubt and despair. In … Continue reading From far away …
