Crashing Waves of Instability | Aug.28.2022 ✧・゚✧



Crashing Waves of Instability | Aug.28.2022

Longing for a truth that soothes my soul
A lingering feeling that glues me whole.
Looking through shattered pieces of maybes and doubt
I hear the echoes of memories replaying aloud
All the different routes that I could’ve taken
All the times I have navigated forsaken
Unharmed, yet strong winds thrown against my way
Will I keep my anchor or be swayed into decay?

So Close Yet Almost Always So Far | Nov 26, 2017 ✧・゚✧



So Close Yet Almost Always So Far | Nov 26, 2017

Crumbling leaves decomposing to its basic carbon form
As I remain my silence & stand still throughout this transforming storm
Ages of confusion, ages of doubt
Unmasking glory of mystery and spiritless drought

Guided by a trail of comfort and hope
Always close to grabbing on shreds of its rope
Almost with it reunited as it slips through my fingers
A feeling of strandedness emerges and lingers
So close yet... almost always so far
A battle against myself, I wage the war.

 Virtual Mountains | Apr.14.2015

You can read all the horoscopes in the world, but it don't mean one damn thing
You can dig deep into your fears, so much that it hurts and stings
Palm reading, tarots cards, fast forward into the future and watch it all start

Chasing fleeting images of wants and needs,
Nurturing the future's outcome like growing seeds
Possibilities, possibilities, behind vague images of inner wrath and doubt
Tempted to take glimpses into the unknown and find out what we can scout
Danger, excitement, risk or bliss?
Adventure, healing or simple reminisce?

A Witty Mockery of All Fairytales! | Dec 26, 2013 ✧・゚✧



A Witty Mockery of All Fairytales! | Dec 26, 2013

Once upon a time, in a land far away, lived a little princess in a really high tower
Her faith was shaken & her heart was turning sour
Unable to think of a cure, probably delusional by society's demands
Hopelessly gives up & asks God for a man to dispose at her hands 
To rescue her from her wicked ways or save her from her evil step-mother
Unable to use the stairs or take the elevator, she simply couldn't bother

Push | Dec.16.2013

Every now and then, I lose my way, my wants & my needs
Just sit there and patiently wait to sow my once planted seeds
Action-oriented, success driven .. I’ve never been so addicted
That voice in the back of my head keeping one restricted
Pushing you to be better, to do better & astonishingly you eventually do
You’re a pusher, you push yourself beyond your own limitations
So far away, never thought it was possible

On the surface.. No, you never break, not even a crack
You do what it takes & compensate what you lack
"You’re just a workaholic" no one can see behind your disguise

Lost Little Birdie | Feb.25.2009 ✧・゚✧





Lost Little Birdie |  Feb.25.2009

I miss u like a lost little birdie flying in the sky real free
Looking around to see where he belongs, its home tree
Then at last, it realizes its nest is in your arms
'cause I'm defenseless to your everlasting charms  ;)

 I'm swept off my feet,
Having you around is becoming one true major addiction
Like my own personal version of prince charming- yet real
It's not a fiction!
and I like it how you pop into my dreams every once in a while
and it kinda makes my day, 'cause it wakes me up with a smile
Like I don't get enough of you when I'm awake
I need your company, even if its fake
