Dark clouds gathered in the sky, While storms were raging in my mind. Tears had run dry, Because life, I thought, hadn’t been kind. And then into my life, you came, As if by a quirk of fate. You accepted my faults and failings all the same, You made me feel great. Slowly you’d become my happy place, My sunshine on the darkest […]
The journey began slowly, And then began to pick up the pace. I now gaze outside lazily, Looking at the blank space. The train moves along, Speeding past the empty fields. As my mind wanders along, The meandering ways of memories. There are some memories, That I want to hold on, And then there are others, That are better forgotten. As I […]
The ringing of the alarm, Wakes me up from slumber deep. I try to get up despite the bed’s charm, Which makes me want to go back to sleep. The rays of the morning sun, Shine through my window. As the gentle morning breeze, Beckons me to go out for a run. My laziness I cast aside, As I put on my shoes […]
I may not be, The way you want me to be. For you only see, How different I turned out to be. I never chose follow, For I walked on paths different. But with your judgement so hollow, My success, to you was insignificant. I was often made the reason for disgrace, For with my ways you couldn’t agree. But my differences I […]
Dark clouds gather in the sky, Like all the worries that cloud my mind. To hold myself together I try, While the trees sway to the gusts of the wind.

You brought me into this world, Though you knew there would be pain, And then made me your world, Giving me all the love that you could. You found joy when I learned how to talk, You are the best teacher I’ve ever known. You held my hands and taught me to walk, Made me strong enough to stand on my own. You […]
Our paths crossed at destiny’s bidding, And I was glad that we met. But now I stand at the same old place waiting, For you to return! I look for the news of your arrival, In the whisper of the wind. For you are the hope for my survival, The only one that I can find. The wind blows of its own accord, […]
Life is too short to do all the things that we want to do. Yet, often when presented with an opportunity or when we have the choice to do something that we’ve wanted to do, we are unsure if we can do it. We hesitate to make that decision because we are scared to say “Yes”. We are worried thinking what if we fail. But […]
First things first. Yay! I completed the A to Z Challenge! I have taken up the challenge twice before and completed it. So this was the third time – a hart-rick! I’d decided last year around this time that I’d take up this challenge this year too. I’d also told myself that I’d plan ahead so that I’d have nothing to worry about during the […]
