Stand still, Under the outcry of the thick, dark clouds. Get soaked by the heavenly downpour, Empty your thoughts for a second, In a minute, let yourself go. Cry your eyes out, Let the rain wash away your tears. Take a deep breathe. Inhale, exhale. Stand in the rain, Get soaked from head to toe.…… Continue reading Stand in the Rain

Light Weight
The effort was less, It didn’t require the usual aggression and heart palpitation, That feeling of having swallowed a rock, No weight at all. Subtle emotional connection Like the perfect piece to a puzzle Where your silence is so loud it makes sense You came with the sun, You put the sun in sunshine, That…… Continue reading Light Weight
Sueño
🖼️🖼️🖼️ Do I have your permission to smell the roses? Where tranquility knows no bounds, And there exists only a small time frame to take it all in, Just to make sure that if I don’t have the chance, If it doesn’t work out and all I’m left with are our marred memories, At least…… Continue reading Sueño
Warriors
The battle line is drawn, You are either an ally or a foe, As we draw out our battle axes and slay all those against us. The boundary lines are falling for us in pleasant places. Today the dragon falls, And all his seeds goes down with him, We take a stand to spare no-one…… Continue reading Warriors

Identity
We know who we are and we stay true to who we are.No faking, no pretence, no malicious intent.Only authenticity on our turf.You will know our flaws, you will see our wrongs,We bear it all.Unapologetic of our shortcomings, of soil and of blood, we are humans.We know who we are.We know what we are made…… Continue reading Identity
Stone Cold
The past days have been hell for you,I know this because I prepared the fire,Served it while it was blazing hot,And when the fire was about dying out,I added some more coal.Insomnia must have creeped through your walls,With all the doses that kept you up at night.Cold and bitter to swallow,Venom filled words spewed without…… Continue reading Stone Cold
Birdie
Without a care in the world, I make my nest Not burdened by the luxuries and expectations of this world,But trusting in the provision of the keeper,That the sun will not set without a meal in my belly,A worm I will catch,A nectar I will suck, The stream will not run dry.At sunrise, the sounds…… Continue reading Birdie
Silver Lining
It isn’t always black or white. Life is a bundle of lessons, released in bits and pieces. You mostly are not ready for this. Just when you think you’ve got a hang of this thing called life, You are thrown off balance. Life isn’t always black or white, You’d have some grey, And that is…… Continue reading Silver Lining
