So this is how it goes. I say something. You say, "Wow!" I do something. You say, "Oh my! How?!" Oh no! Not once! But every single time! Anything from me Should be worth your time As soon as you see! You do it not for yourself. You do it for me. As I'm a [...]

Out of Control
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 [...]
This Moment of Paradise and Hell
In this moment, Is unbridled joy, Unlike any seen, Is unfathomable despair, Unlike ever expected. In this moment, Something begins, Making the heart beat faster, Something ends, Making everything go blank. In this moment, Someone has an orgasm, Sees paradise, Someone loses an organ, Sees hell. In this moment, Someone comes back home, Meets familiar [...]
You’re Beautiful When You Smile
I see you, Thinking and over-thinking, Caring too much About every little detail. Yes, it's important. But when you stop Once in a long while And just smile, You're just beautiful. I hear you, Go on and on endlessly, Voicing your heart As well as that big brain. Yes, it's needed. But when you take [...]
Be a Little Selfish
To the selfless ones, To the gregarious guns, To the duty-bound, I write. There's no shame, There's no unfair game, There's no need of guilt for you, I plead. You are allowed, You can be equally proud, You should live a little for yourselves, I urge. Even if you are pivotal for someone, Even if [...]
I Believe
I believe There's more in me Than I've ever seen, Than I've ever done, Than I know. I believe There's more in you Than you let show, Than you let be heard, Than you know. I believe There's more in this world Than the happiest joy, Than the saddest sorrow, Than we know. I'm not [...]
My Reflection
When I was little, I thought That the only place Where I could see My reflection Was the mirror. Turns out I was wrong. My reflection Is everywhere I look around. Literally everywhere. My reflection Is in the water, On the drinking glass, In the eating steel spoon, On building facades, On my front-facing camera. [...]
Not in This Alone
It doesn't matter How "embarrassing" a feat You've managed to pull off. There would've been always, always Many others before you Who have done the same. Made a fool of yourself In love, At work, Amongst strangers, In front of everyone who knows you? Yeah, there've been others before you. Variations of Fallen off, Fallen [...]
