Drowning in Bed
As you lay drowning in bed, Draped in sickness, You wonder what you could write next. For no sickness could drown your resolve, Your crazy love for writing. As you lay dreaming in bed, You finally pick up a paper and pen To jot down what you dream, To jot down before you drown.

Why Does It Pain?
Why does it pain? Why does it hurt so much? It pains because you have a heart. It hurts because you love so much. What if you are careful? Won't it hurt less? It would. But then you wouldn't love as much.
Time Will Tell
Were we right? Or were we wrong? Was something really there? Or was it long gone? Time will tell. Did we put in too much? Or did we not do enough? Did we wish too much? Or did we not even really dream? Time will tell. Will it happen ever again? Or was last time [...]
Only Dreaming, No Doing
When she signed up for the architecture course of five long years, the only thing Mia was sure about was that she had more than enough time to become an author. She thought that somehow, something will happen and she would find herself writing everyday thereafter. She dreamed how "very soon" she would no longer draw [...]
