I’m Fine.


How are you?
I’m fine.
I guess that’s what you say when someone asks “how are u?”
That has become the norm, a routine, the accepted response,
But it shouldn’t be.
I just realized I’m a big liar and a good liar,
We all are.
We pretend we are ok and fine when we really aren’t,

In My Loneliness

"don't love me if my solitude is sweeter than you"
I have learnt to love me
Love every part that eludes the eyes of man
From the scars inbetween my breasts that run so deep, it has imprints on my heart,
my heart that ached for you, that longed to get love in return,
To my thighs, that have been bruised by your constant need to satisfy the demons that dwell in you
My ears, so little yet patiently listen to all the lies you tell waiting to hear the truth
the real truth, cos with you, there are two different truths

In my loneliness,
I have learnt love is not all about pleasing you
my loneliness has shown me happiness,
In my loneliness, i found love, i found solace
Love that i never got from you

I am in love with my loneliness
For me to love you,
you have to love me with all the good, the bad, the scars, and all my short comings
For me to love you, you have to be sweeter than my loneliness...


In truth I have been working on this piece for a very long time... Like 2-3months and it is amazing how I needed just one line to close the writing and I woke this morning with fresh eyes and read through and I realised I was done with this writing a long time ago.
For me... It didn't need anything more, nothing extra, it is just perfect the way it is.... I hope you liked it.

The Enchanted Dreamer


He was turning
And you could see him panting heavily,
He had a lot on his mind,
He was mentally troubled.
The brevity of life seemed to have dawned on him just now.
His heart was hovering,
He got in,

Broken Mirror


Pastor, its not that i cannot see, its that i still see his image,
beyond the brokenness of the mirror,
even in the dark.

i promised myself never to do this
never to let him back in
he came in anyway.
