Window
Often, we gaze through the window of life,
seeking what we lack, what might complete us,
the things we think would bring joy, would fill us.

We murmur to ourselves, “If only I had this or that.”
And, in that longing, we forget what we already hold,
the quiet victories, the steps that brought us here.

Lost in the glow beyond the glass,
we overlook the people who truly matter,
the things that tether us, the quiet loves we care for.
And in the end, just as we reach to touch that window,
we find it was never real—
a mirage, a fleeting distortion of our own making.

FLOW

Some things would never change
Like the sunset and that beautiful moment when the sun breaks the morning clouds.

Some things would always hold fast
Like the beach in the face of dashing waves.

Some things would remain forever beautiful
Like the emarald colours of the rainbow

Some day from now when we truly take stock of our lives
May it have swinged in our favour and may all our silent prayers have been answered.

You

I thought of you yesterday
And my heart skipped again.

Just like the taste of a bitter pill
Your memories will always make me flinch.

It is like an involuntary action
I think you switched something in my brain.

-

*Do not stay a little longer*

Declutter your heart
So that those who truly matter can come in.

Renegade on your feelings now
Otherwise it will always hurt you.

In time you will see
Time and season takes it all away.

Baby steps before the run
Do not stay a little longer
So you can truly be free.

Moments before dawn

Moments before dawn
When you can almost you hear the whispers of silence
Shifting and turning left, right and left again
Difting in and out with no purpose
Lose emotions racing against the wall of my chest

I Miss You!

-

We often wish we can revisit some memories
Maybe to relive some sweet experiences
Or
Maybe to avoid some bitter mistakes

But you see!
That's the beauty of life
We only have one chance to live every second of every minute of every hour of every day.

This or That

In good times
Or
In bad times
I promise to hold your hands and never let go.

In the summer nights filled with sweet smell of blooms and stary lights of fireflies
Or
In the biting taste of Winter's harsh gaze
I promise to hold your hands and never let go.

In the drifting floats of rushing waves
Or
in the drowning depth of the desserts shores
I promise to hold your hands and never let go.

For Temi

Step into the light every now and then

Never allow the world's dark shadows envelop your shine

Smile every now and then

The sun will surely rise tomorrow

Stand tall always

Never allow the world's weight be yours alone

If I could freeze time
Like really freeze time, 
Then I would filter out the happy moments, when we would completely laugh at our jokes for hours, unmask our fears, and feel vulnerable with each other.

If I could pause time, 
Like really pause time
It will only be happy moments.
When we would stare into each other's eyes and say a million things without a single word in a language only we understood,

... But time can't be frozen or paused, and all things must happen in due time. 

-

Love could be a beautiful phenomenon or a terribly-ugly experience depending on with whom, when and how it happens to you.
