It was spring. New breezes blew. New flowers blossomed. New was it all around But in her heart. It was summer. Hot loo lurked. Hot sweats ran down. Hot was it all around But in her heart. It was autumn. Dense gales gathered pace. Dense leaves fell non-stop. Dense was it all around But in [...]

That Old College Sweatshirt
There is something Surprisingly warm About that old college sweatshirt That makes me wear it Multiple times at home, After all these years. That something is nostalgia. There is something Inexplicably beautiful About that dull grey colour That I otherwise don't favour, Calling it too drab For my otherwise colourful wardrobe. That something is nostalgia. [...]

What do you do When you know That the sky is going to fall? On you and On everything you love? Do you stand back To let it just happen? Do you start to fight With all your tiny might? Knowing the outcome either way? Yes, sometimes It's just all So out of control, So [...]
He Came With the Rain
He came with the rain, Unexpected As on a clear sky day, Uninvited As without an umbrella, Unabashed As with the torrential pour. Soon thereafter, Changed the weather Around and within me, Changed the rhythm Of things and life, Changed so much In so short a time. Then the rain stopped. With the rain who [...]
Do What Makes You Happy
Do what makes you happy. Not the superficial, temporary Kind of happy, But the real, lasting Kind of happy. Don't worry what others'll think. Eventually, if not immediately, They'll have better things to think. Finally, you will be left alone For yourself to think. So stop procrastinating any more. Give yourself permission For so much [...]
