Light that doesn’t leave

Woke up with the sun on my face, warm and inviting
like it knew my name, and came to call me back to living

I rose to close the drapes, and there you were beside me
and suddenly the room became a prayer I didn’t know I was saying

Is this what love feels like—this bliss?
my heart is quiet for once, and even the silence is smiling

You’re my sunshine; you make me feel happy
and when the world gets heavy, you turn my shoulders into wings

So I let the morning stay a little longer,
because loving you feels like light that doesn’t leave

Haunted By Your Eyes

like the blue moon at night,

you’re my compass

when streetlights die,

you guide my shadows home

like the deep blue sea,

your eyes are haunting and I swim to them,

even as my lungs beg for shore

dark skin princess of enchantment,

you amaze me

your glow turns my fear to worship,

my silence to song

if you are my end,

I still cherish our beginning

Because goodbye can’t erase how you made me feel alive

Loner


The first 24 seconds without you,
I was cool. Calm.
Your words still linger in my mind.

The next 24 minutes without you,
I wasn’t cool. I was disturbed.
So I called, just to hear your voice.

The first 24 hours without you,
I might lose my compass, become irrational.
Then I won’t stop thinking about you.

The loner is outside;
But I’ll be here,
waiting—patiently—for you to come back,
waiting for you to drown me in your affection.

Best Compliment

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

Hmm, interesting prompt!

I will pick a review of one of my short stories as the best compliment I’ve ever received. The story is titled Firefly.

In her words (she identifies as a female), she said “you need to see a psychiatrist, because this is too dark to be fiction”.

What. A. Compliment.

For my writing to generate such an amount of fear and uncertainty in a person is a compliment to me.

Life is unfair

There is a phrase that we always throw around when we’re having conversations. It is a common enough saying that it has almost become a proverb in its own right. The phrase? Life is unfair. Yes! Now you see that I’m right about people always throwing it around.

This piece is not about the origin, usage, or accuracy of the phrase. I am writing this to address the “unfairness” of life. Life is never meant to be fair. Life also known as nature, is the epitome of unfairness. The weak are at the mercy of the strong. The good are bullied by the bad. In nature, only the strongest or the most cunny will survive to see the light of the next day.

The design of life is meant to be unfair. Check your fingers and you will agree with me. Even our fingers are not equal. Sharing the same womb does not guarantee the same amount of intelligence or success later in life. The moment you are born weak or with a defect, you are automatically at a disadvantage in the race of life. As a human, being born into a poor family shows you the unfairness of life even before you grow up.

Nature is never meant to be fair. The moment you look around and life is perfect, pinch yourself and wake up from the daydream. Life is unfair. Life is unbalanced. The earliest you accept that the nature of life is unbalanced, the happier you become.

Life is unfair. So, focus on getting as much peace and happiness as you can derive.

Hello Love

If her story had been perfect,
She won’t be here today.
And if his story had been any different,
He would have taken a different way.
All the pains, the hurt, and the heart breaks ;
All led to the his moment.
Right here,
Right now.

The road was full of hate, regrets, laughter and fake love;
Lovers turned strangers and strangers became lovers;
Every other person left you, and some you dumped;
Every other lady left me, and some became estranged;
We’ve loved, and we’ve lost.
But little did we know!

Little did I know what was brewing,
The light at the end of the tunnel is you;
The calm after the storm is you;
The promised land is you;
You’re my today and tomorrow;
And you’re my present and future!

I love you so much Sunshine!

Moon and Sun

Just like the earth revolves round the sun,
My existence revolves around you.
The birth of a new day brings hope,
It births the hope of eternal love;
My everlasting love for you renews daily.

When the dark brings fear, sadness and uncertainty,
Your love keeps me awash in its glow,
Protecting me,
Saving me from depressing tendencies.
Keeping me warm in the cold of the night!

When the night is at the darkest,
The moon of your affection claims the horizon,
Bathing me in a reflecting of calm,
Promising me a dawn full of enlightenment.
Even when all seem lost, you and I are forever!

Stuck In My Head

Stuck in my head,
Like a piece of meat hidden in my teeth.
Stuck in my mind,
Like the beginning of constipation.
Difficulties upon difficulties plague me,
Ravaging seas and churning storms.
I’ll enjoy this tumultuous times while it lasts.

All things being equal,
You’re always mine.
Never for a moment,
Doubt my dedication to you.
I might be knocking on the doors of disaster,
But stuck with you, I always will.
You’re stuck in my head,
Like that elusive piece of meat!

You and I

If her story had been perfect,
She won’t be here today.
And if his story had been any different,
He would have taken a different way.
All the pains, the hurt, and the heartbreaks;
All led to his moment.

Right now.

The road was full of hate, regrets, laughter, and fake love;
Lovers turned strangers and strangers became lovers;
Every other person left you, and some you dumped;
Every other lady left me, and some became estranged;
We’ve loved, and we’ve lost.
But little did we know!

Little did I know what was brewing,
The light at the end of the tunnel is you;
The calm after the storm is you;
The promised land is you;
You’re my today and tomorrow;
And you’re my present and future!

I love you so much Sunshine!

A Coward In Love

I fell in love at the worst time.
I was smitten when I was still a coward.
Scared of uncertainties,
Disdainful of the future,
And scared of rejection.

I loved you like no other.
I ran away from certain responsibilities.
I needed you. Wanted you.
But I couldn’t go further.
Couldn’t go for what I knew was mine.
I loved you, like a boy loves.

Now, I’m a man.
And I feel like I’ve lost you.
I wanted to do things differently,
But the time have changed
You have changed.
The situation has changed.

There’s honey in your name,
And you are the sweetest human I know,
Your words.
Your care.
Your emotions.
You showed me love.
You displayed sweetness.
You’re the epitome of perfection.

I messed up once,
And you took me back.
I promised to do more.
To be better.
To make things nicer.

I stopped saying this.
But my face tells you,
My actions speaks volumes.
You’re awesome.
And for ever and ever.
I’ll always love you.
