talking less words
is a bliss nowadays,
the more i'm silent
the more i'm with you.

-

words are the best gift
to give each other
and when you do
be kind with them.

Dear Augustus,
I'm writing after a long time and I just feel the necessity to as my poetry writing is bizarre now. I was running through the few hours with you in my mind. Most memorable moments of my life to be precise. You were all smiles and excited. Words were just flowing as you kept talking beside and I remember all I did was just listen.Not that I didn't have anything to say but then I decided I'd just listen to you... for one, that was the first time I was seeing you talk so much out of excitement. Two, I didn't want to interrupt and spoil the words flow from you. Three, I was taken aback by your words that I was so absorbed in listening to you. I do realise how I hold your words now. Maybe I too should have said a word or two then. It's alright, your words were some of the beautiful thoughts you shed and it still echos in my ears everytime I close my eyes. These words were your gift to me, weren't they? These words you left with me are more fulfilling than any other way of expressing of what we hold, aren't they? Being a person who yearns for kind and compassionate words from people around... What more could have I asked for? What more could you have given me?

you were my freedom
and when you flew away
you carried that along as well.

Dear Augustus,

It's 1p.m here at my workplace. My colleagues have left for lunch. I'm still sitting in my cabin, writing all that is within me. Oh! how nice it would be if I could tell you of everything I hold... How long am I still going to hold onto this? How does it make me feel at ease, just by the thought that you are with me? What did you do to make me feel so attached? It's been a year already and look at me, breathe everything of you still... is this my blessing or curse?

It's not found...
It's built..
And it's called love !!

-

how many people
will hold you in their heart
when you leave this world
is all that counts at the end.
so let your light shine,
no matter what!

-

as you live this present,
the people who surround you
are with you now
because they're interested
for the person you are.
that means to be flawed
and to be imperfect is okay.
always okay.

when it seems there’s nothing left,
there’s still hope.

it's always better to not stay
in a place where we don't belong.

it's always better to take
the first step to walk away.

it's always better.
