When Writers Bleed
More often than not,Writers bleed.They bleed like hell.They bleed like it's the end of the world.At least, all the good ones do. More often than not,It's courtesy their heart.Hearts more sensitive than others',Hearts they have no control over.At least, that's what they say. More often than not,Writers recover also quickly.It's not like they have another [...]
To a Friend
You wish to fly You think, if you try hard enough You will grow wings. I think it's crazy. I'm afraid you're going to crash after I see you fall. But I don't stop you.But I give you the benefit of the doubt.But I choose to believe you.My heart wants to support you.My head wants [...]
What is Love?
What is love? In just one word, I asked myself. After a long silence, My heart responded, "Love is happiness." Just enough to make me cry,Just enough to make me smile,Just enough to make me do both together.So what is love?In just one word,I ask you.
Write Me A Poem

Clipping My Wings
Scissors in hand,Smirk on face,Slithering thoughts in mind,I see you coming,Wanting to clip my wings.Distinguished in power,Distinct in person,Diplomatic in nature,I see you coming,Wanting to clip my wings.At a time least expected,At a place deemed safest,At a mannerism applauded,I see you coming,Wanting to clip my wings.But I don't make a sound,But I don't blink an [...]

Bare My Soul
If I bare my soulTo you,Will it be worth it?My creases and scars,My desires and fears,My truth?The journey I have made,The path I may take,The cluelessness in between?Some light and dark,Some peace and turbulence,Some mine and from others?Will you not laugh at me?Will you not chide me?Will you not hide from me?You may answer either [...]
As the Clock Strikes Twelve

Best Thing All Week
Running like crazyBehind a speeding suitcase,He emerged.Alone holding a plate of dumplingsIn his way,She happened to be.Bewildered,She stood rooted,Not knowing about the next second.Screeching to a halt,He looked up at her from his suitcaseAnd smiled, rather broadly.It was a beautiful smileFrom a handsome foreignerWho didn't crash into her.Agreeing so,Feeling amused,She smiled back.Again speeding, again eating,Going [...]
