Too often I find myself in search of meaning in my increasingly irrational existence. Knowing too much is a dangerous thing, I fear I’ve succumbed to resistance. If only ignorance can be disguised as bliss, I would gladly spend my life unaware of the many treasures and happiness resting beyond my reach somewhere. Instead, every [...]

When Optimism is diffused and Life is a mess When the Spirit is dampened and the Soul is in distress When Night conspires to keep Dawn out of reach There will be no more vacations on the beach. Rising bubbles of Suffocation in my chest Up and down a rollercoaster nest I try to seize [...]
What once was green Is now brown What once had leaves Now scattered to the ground The bitter wind And blackened frost Your gentle name Is somehow lost. What once brought laughter Now laughs no more What comes hereafter Remains to be explored Fragments of my mind In time falls apart The memories left behind [...]
I never realised how hard this would be What comes naturally to others is a stumbling block for me I watch them move with such ease Like performers on a flying trapeze But every time I try, I don’t succeed. Whose fault it is, I’m never so sure I wish and pray there might be [...]

Through the passing of time, memories will fade. Sharp stabbings of pain will dull to an ache. The future is fixed. Destiny is made. What is dead, is [...]
Exams are coming up pretty soon so I won’t have time to write much. (Well, actually they are still a month and a half away but it feels like they are just around the corner!) Instead of putting the blog on hiatus, I thought I’d post some of the poems I had written in the past. [...]
Every weekday at 4pm, I gravitate Toward my usual place. Ignoring the chit-chat, My eyes sweep across the hall and hesitate On a mop of blonde and two pools of grey. Mesmerized, unable to pull away, I’m drawn like moths to a dancing flame. Please don’t notice my staring, I silently pray. It’s rude, I [...]
