Here I sit today in silence,
thinking of so many mistakes made,
regret passed along from the past days,
worrying about the future.
And then the phone rings.
The time froze for an hour.
The laughter, the gossips,
small talks about birds, plants,
books, movies, scenery, trips...
An never ending stories
that goes on and on.

There my friend ends the call.
The heaven smiles as
the hearts got a chance
to be children again.
Back to school with those crayons
filling the colours over unsung life.

There was a time when
I used to look up to the night sky
and sit straight till I found
at least one shooting star.
Now I look up,
hoping to see a glimpse of the moon,
even if I could for a sec,
just to wish upon.

-

Unexpected arrival splashes against the rock,
Unpredictable departure of the cold air
from the nose tip of the flowers,
Makes me wonder whether I should have
got used to those by now.

Your value is immeasurable. Since the day I was born, I have been cherished under your humble hand. The pillars, foundation, and roof all looked after me like my godfather. The floor soothes like a blanket of grass. Walls may have ears, but they never betray me. Rather, walls are often the sky with no boundaries. I would walk under the light of stars and the moon and surrender under the wind, bringing distinct vapours of reminiscence.
I see you as a person, like a mim boyfriend. Comforting me in most situations, making me stay as true as possible, holding me with no prejudice. Listening to every pry and every cry of mine.
You may not say anything, but your silence
speaks louder than a friend. Look after me
like I look after you. I depend on you
more than you think.
Be my forever comforter.
Yours xxxx

Even though I run into you almost every day, I've learned to build an earthen dam to keep you at bay. It took me years to build. Somehow, your waves are hitting stronger and stronger on my floor. I fear next time this dam might be destroyed with your freedom.
Escapism is a teary-eyed face where the tears are always meant to flow. Somehow I find my respite by those cold feelings on my cheeks, giving me the understanding of that underlying tinch that you wanted to be known. I want to assure you that you are always soaked deep in me as the heart dipped in blood. Just don't spill too much out of me. Let me keep you in, safely tucked inside.

Your keeper,
xxxx

Like all those unnoticed shooting stars flying into heaven,
you take refuge in them. Only a few get heard,
others continue the journey across the universe,
stretching every minute. Those are the real lucky ones,
and you are just near the brim of that cup of sparkling water.
Fulfilment is a dream yet to be reached. So let's dive
into the sea of honey, enjoying each moment as it soaks us
into the beautiful dream. Thank you stars
for giving me the thoughtful gift that's still yet to be.
I don't mind if fate is playing games. I'll still
be buoyant even if you fall away,
for these feelings revealing will not be
ignored anymore. So I'll work on this letter
until our timing gets better.

Sincerely, yours truly
And forevermore,
xxxx

Once you were just words, but you grew when inscribed quixotically. Gently falling down, settling as leaves collect on the ground near the humble tree. And tucked away into that beautiful sleep. Yet here you are, always and forever, lying deep and waking up in dreams.
They say 'Time will heal all wounds', but your words are the only wounds left beneath the scar.
Sometimes, it feels good to see how alive you were when were written like the raindrops spreading petrichor. Reminding me of home.
I could only thank you for hiding me behind your letters and my memories of him.

Once yours,
xxxx

As simple as the truth, you are that bright ray
that falls on earth splitting through clouds. Even when
I'm surrounded by the murky waters, I could see
the reflection of you on the stillness of those waters.
Somehow, you strive through the adversities.
Stories are a fort where you are the hidden gem.
The night may be long, but the morning will come
when you alone will be called. And that day you'll find out
what's on your back are wings that are for heading
for the far better future, embracing this universe and shining,
to become the legend.

Waiting for you,
Yours xxxx

To the one who thought their mind could be an ocean
Dumping the unnecessary thoughts of others
Even the ocean could get saltier
Even the ocean could get muddier

To the one who overthinks
who could build empires of great minds
Don't flood them with those late-night thoughts
Don't flood them with the habitual dolour

To the one whose tears won't stop
who would cry more than themselves
Just let them go and pass on
For some don't deserve your kindness
For some don't even remember you in their happiness

To the one who hadn't found the purpose for they were told they would
Go with the wind and flow with the river
You may hit some big rock or may create splashes like waves
You will eventually meet them
You will eventually fulfil them

Black Widow stood in front of the old man's chair for a while. Her right eye has been twitching but she can't seem to open that eye due to her tragic past.

She kept staring at that man in his greyish deathly chair with her black left eye, curling her smooth tail, obediently waiting.
