'All that glitters is not gold, young man.'

'It's not?'

'Of course not. If it were, we would all be yellow and weigh a hundred kilos.'

-

It matters not if we weave a thousand words,
Or sing a hundred songs with rhythm and rhyme;

It matters not of the million unsaid looks,
The hidden gestures that make things shine:

All that matters is three simple words,
Whispered as an afterthought or as an absent minded sigh.

-

So they told me,
In few lines and words,
To give up my dreams,
And never be heard;
I felt it was right to comply,
What right did I have to make them cry?
I did what I did best, gathering myself,
A storm I would become,
Devastating and everlasting,
A once in a life moment.

-

I hate it when you pull my hair,
But love your comforting hand on my head;
I hate it when you call me names
But I know you'll be the one who'll stand with me till the end;
Distance is a mere number in this technological world,
You'll always find yourself in my heart
And I am yours to keep.

Happy birthday pika!!!! <3

I hold on to leaves like poetry,
Feel each vein like it's my own;
I let them be whisked away from my hand— 
(Words thundering with unheard vowels and consonants)
By a gentle breeze, a quiet sigh or simple look.

-

Depression is not a phrase but a moment,
One that lasts forever or blink of an eye.

-

Life is only hard for those who want it to be.

-

For a word without thought,
Earned me a smile;

For one with thought,
Pushed me back by a mile.

(Apparently I am useless when it comes to talking.)

-

Absence puts things in perspective,
Parents,
Anger,
Love.

-

The sky turned peach pink with clouds like cotton balls;
The black birds, a distant speck can be blocked out by a thumb;
I love summers not for the long days or the vacations in between,
I love it for the twilight evenings when the sky changes hides.
