Lower and lower As we sink, Heavier and heavier, As we feel, We know it's rock bottom That we'll hit. The force of gravity Is not to blame. The force of fate Pulls all the strings. We know it's rock bottom That we'll hit. We try to fight To no avail. We try to fly [...]

The Bed Calls
Sitting in the room's center, It makes a pretty picture. Nothing matters inside the room's walls, Once the bed calls. Know that weary day, When you've made too much hay? The body aches to hear The bed's call just near. That soft, sweet voice Asking to make a choice, To leave the day's work behind [...]
This Moment
It's this moment That actually counts. Not the one before, Not the one after. Only this to something amounts. We only get a glimpse To keep in memory's store. Just one chance To live it Or keep wanting for more. So stop looking Hither and thither. For before you know It will be gone. It [...]
My Knight in Shining Armour
Those dreamy tales Of knights and damsels I blame For my unrealistic expectations. The ones that told me To wait To be saved With patience and poise. What they didn't tell Was the harsh truth That all knights were busy Saving themselves. So if a damsel Waited too long, She'd rather be prepared For her [...]

Maybe, you will. Maybe, you won't. But till when do you want me To give you the benefit of doubt? Maybe, you are trying. Maybe, you are not. But till when do you want me To hang by around hoping? Maybe, your every word is true. Maybe, it's all a big lie. But till when [...]

Love Stuck in Traffic
"So, where is he???" I asked, throwing up my hands. "All this time and not a trace of him! I am sick and tired of waiting! Where is the love of my life?" "Think of it this way," said my friend, offering a really weird yet interesting analogy, "Maybe, he's stuck in heavy traffic. Maybe, [...]
Rejection
We all hate that word. It makes us feel so bad about ourselves. Worse, it makes us question the very intention of why we started out. We all hate rejection. But there it is. In our face. Most of the time. From people we love to things we love to even the smallest, silliest of [...]
V-Day Run-up: 5. Fatmagul and Kerim
She was the rape-victim. He was one of the accused. How could they ever have a story? But, they did. She was devoid of trust. He was pleading his innocence. How could they ever fall in love? But, they did. She had lost all hope. He had lost his dreams. How could they have a [...]
It’s Time
Been waiting too long? Been dreaming forever? Anticipating highly? Relax, for finally, It's time. Yes, waiting hurts a lot. The tears accompanying them Sting just as well. The pain will soon be over For it's time. You deserve an applause From no one but yourself. As you alone know How hard it was to hang [...]
