Crimson tide that washed over me,
With gruelling pace, it broke free.
To where life was but a dread,
Not full of miracles, but misery.

A Taste of Yesterday
Woke up to the same alarm
in routine there is seldom charm.
Mysteries Underneath
Unruffled and far from the cacophony of the city, lies a cosmos drenched in deep blues, a galaxy stretching a thousand feet underneath us. Like a live mirror to the sky, it glows and darkens through star fishes and birds with fins floating around, every corner opening into a new shade of blue, from sapphire […]
Desolate
Frozen plains — fallow beneath, Sheets of white — Tremblant fingers — sprawl — solemn forest — End of the world — bay groaning, beyond horizon — imagination, dances within mind — time stops in speeding headlights — kilometres are inside miles — leather Wrapped under hand — under gleaming tips; fingers — nervous outside […]
Real Romance
A weed in a field of flowers is,To you a flower in the desert,A simple note on crumpled paper is,To you the greatest comfort. She is not a lover of red roses,Innocent lilies speak more to her heart,The destiny of this friendship she knows,Yet even for a day she cannot live apart. If being romantic is […]

pages there is you. She is looking at you you you.

Forlorn Prince
This pedestal I’ve been made to stand on, This throne that’s been given to me,My people who look at me with love,Expecting me to reach the stars for them,Expecting me to chase their dreams.What about mine?I see such confidence in their eyes,But much disbelief in mine.Is this my purpose in life?All the blood I’ve spent, […]
Turn Around
You wasted your days running after me.Running till your legs burned,your chest ached,and your heart hurt. You ran so fastand so hardand so blindly,that you didn’t noticehow I ran behind you. I pursued you,but you pursued an illusion.How could you not knowthat you were chasing somethingyou already had? Did you not feel meduring the lazy […]
