An Ode to Cats
They are snooty but at times cooky,They are your masters and your queens,Living their lives either on your lapOr on their tippy toes, tails high up,They will destroy your cups and your blinds,And scratch that expensive furniture you have,But you would never be able to live without them,And you find them just the comfort you […]

Cosy Blankets and Soft Toys
There was something about crocheting that makes Sally takes her mind off even the most damning thing. The repetitive movements, the patterns that one could come up with, and the sound of the yarn being pulled and pushed. It kept Sally’s mind at peace which had always been a bombsite in her opinion. It started […]

No. Not Really.
Hands quivering. Heart palpitating. Eyes turning everything red. Hatred taking over and sorrow waiting by the wayside. There were no thoughts in your head but your blood continued to pump, violently and trying to burst out of your veins just to be relieved. Your teeth shake against each other, on the border of shattering but […]

Wrinkled Hands
Your wrinkled hands had touched many things,Your eyes had been open to many experiences,Your feet had travelled far and wide everywhere,Your nose had smelled many wonderful smells. Some might think that you are getting too slow,Some might think that you are getting too frail,But no one has ever considered when knowledgeHave become the wisdom to […]

You Chose This
Vicky was usually a morning person. She was usually the one who got up at six in the morning without any fail. She would then have some breakfast and coffee whilst reading from her Kindle. Then, she would jog outside for at least an hour. Then, get ready for work and the rest of the […]

Yes, You Can.
Your breath trembles at that familiar ping,Exhale a little bit,Your lips are starting to shake from speaking,Savour the quiet,Your eyes are watering from the glare and words,Close your eyes,Your mind is racing from all the decisions,Imagine yourself somewhere. You are about to fall apart,Take a deep, deep breath. You cannot do it,Yes, you can.

A Good Future
Carrie could not contain the tremors on her hands. They were not from terror, none at all, but for the sheer anticipation and the excitement that was bubbling up inside of her. She held her identification card in front of her, feeling a little surreal and in some sort of fantasy. She had finally done […]

Grateful
They say that I should be grateful,That I even managed to set foot inThis kingdom that will give meEverything, sooo much freedom,Opportunities to build my lifeEven when I am crawling on my knees,Constantly begging for mercyAppreciating every grain of help. They say that I should be thankful,That I have the opportunity to learnTheir language, dominant […]

Go back
You thought about the golden sands, the warming heat, and the cooling blue sea that stretched for miles and miles. You thought about the sheer curtains blowing gently in your hotel room, the coffee steaming on the bistro table outside your balcony, the open book that you were reading, and the feet you caressed whilst […]

Foolish King
You boast your words, your disposition,Your sense of authority so superiorTo others who are painfully oblivious,Laughing at their dumb faces,Oh, you are such a king! You shake hands, kiss their cheeks,Congratulating yourself on dealsThat no one could ever made,Fooled them so, so very blind,Oh, you are so cunning! You hold hands and break hearts,Telling yourself […]
