I wonder what it would be like if our paths crossed a bit earlier. I wonder who we’d be if we’re together. Maybe I’d like to see how much we’ve changed and how much remained the same. Maybe I just want to spend a little more time with you. Or maybe I just want to see if we would like each other at that point in time. Either way, I wish I knew you back then. ❤️

I hope you learn to enjoy the company of yourself first. To not cringe at the thought of being alone. To have the best days of your life in solitary walks. In sunrises and silence. Or perhaps in lazy afternoons.
I'm not talking about the I'm-fine-being-alone-I'd-rather-be-by-myself kind of solitude either. I heard you a countless times. Still, I keep seeing that sad look in your eyes. That feigned smile.
Solitude is beautiful, you need not degrade it. It is a choice and not a defense mechanism. So go on and do what you've been itching to do. Make yourself happy— not to validate people but because you simply want to. Gain so much that by the time solitude leaves you at bay, you have a lot to give away. To them. To him. To her.
Each day, we wake up consciously or unconsciously wondering which version of us this concrete world will accept. We tiptoe our way on the streets. We watch what we say or do— or not do. Perhaps this is why many prefer the silence of solitude, the earthy smell of mountains, the lapping of waves. Mankind think too much, trying to turn life into one big stage. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But one thing is for sure, we are not in for an audition. We are all stars.

A crow quacks in your chest for the home you left beyond repair—
coz even if you know
how to find your way back,
the trail is no longer the same
and the end of the road
does not guarantee
that somebody is still waiting

Day 2: Beyond Repair

Ours was an allegory of indecision—
Moving one step forward,
Taking two steps back
And love was the tide tickling the sands
Only to retreat
Back to the ocean

In celebration of #NaPoWriMo , I've decided to do the #AtoZChallenge. Happy #NationalPoetryMonth 📝❤️

March is almost over and another month will soon come knocking on our doors. And nope, April is not simply for the fools but for those who are fool enough (in a good way) to write poetry.
Yay! #NaPoWriMo Who's up for a daily dose of poetry? 😍📝

I was holding a cup of coffee when I heard her spitting curses from the other room. She was sitting in front of the mirror when I came in, her face buried on a Sylvia Plath. "What happened?" I asked.
She looked at me from her reflection with an expression I couldn't read, "I'm happy." This girl is insane. I try to read her mind but fail. Like I always do. "It's too much," she plainly stated as she flipped through the pages of The Bell Jar. "I keep reading these lines but nothing's working." She has always been fascinated with sad stories and sad songs and everything that has to do with sadness. "What is wrong with being happy?" I asked.
She walked right to me, tiptoed and gave me a kiss. "Nothing, of course. But art doesn't work that way. I need coffee. And a little bit of pain."
Do you know what fireworks evoke? The beauty of breaking. In lighting up only to burst against the dark sky— to scatter, to fade.
My hand reaches out to catch a tiny pebble, wishing that heartaches are like fireworks too. That we could watch love fall apart with a heart filled with joy.
I hope the genie listens.
