Home. Something yet everything. One place yet many meanings. Sometimes, near. Other times, so far. Yet, it can be felt. A place of protection. A realm of freedom. Somewhere we can be ourselves. A home, not a house. Feelings, not bricks. A reassurance that we will be fine. Years spent don't make it. Warmth received [...]

Love Less
Love less. For then it would hurt less, In places you didn't even know existed. Love less. For then you will miss less Everyone and everything that now make you cry. Love less. For then the mess would be less So you could make a little sense. Love less. Can you surely to this say [...]
Wish I Knew
I wish I knew How to be be smart. How to gauge people From inside out, Rather than outside in. I wish I knew Not to waste a moment Whenever it came by With someone, Than hoping it was someone else. I wish I knew When to say things That I so badly wanted to, [...]
Where’s Your Sparkle?
Beautiful diamonds we all are, Having the power To amaze and cheer. But wait! How to do it with a sad face? So tell me, where's your sparkle? Strong diamonds we all are, Unbreakable under pressure, Inspiring with our struggle. But wait! How to do it with a tear? So tell me, where's your sparkle? [...]
Strong Tears
Tears they are. Yet weak is not who we are. Fall they do. Yet fully fail is not what we do. For these are strong tears. Watery they are. Yet more than water we are. Slippery they are. Yet quite firm we are. For these are strong tears. Rush they do. Yet skipping stuff is [...]

Barefoot on Grass
Once in a while, Take off those sneakers, Take off those socks, To step barefoot on the grass. Allow it to touch your soles. Allow its tips To gently tingle them, To quietly relax them. Once in a while, Break down the barriers Between nature and you, To step out of your bubble. Allow yourself [...]
Long Dress, Short Dress
Long dress, short dress, Such a fuss about the length! So much that one is judged by it, One is labelled by it. Wear a short dress And it's a "call for attention," As interpreted by they who love to gawk Or they who can't themselves carry it off. Wear a long dress And transcend [...]
The Wind to the Fire
I know you are uncertain of me. I know you think I'm unpredictable. And you are right. But trust me once To see what I can help you be. I'll be the wind to your fire. I know I'm too fast to be seen, Too soft to be heard, Too this and that to be felt. [...]
Taking a Step Back
It's fine, once in a while, To step back For someone else To shine. It's fine, once in a while, To not be in the hurry That we were born into And kept on living in. It's fine, once in a while, To not be as ambitious As we had always been, Never settling for [...]
