All my life, I’ve kept my heart away, locked up in a cage, far-far-away. No one had heard it beat, until you, it was silent, but now it beats just for you. I might not be the best player in this game of love, but I wish to speak the language of love. So I…

Lest We Forget
Fear so many deaths that we forget, to live our only life. Hold our breath for so long that we forget, it is our turn to breathe. Blinded by the comfort of the bed that we forget, about the monster underneath. Hate too much that we forget, it’s love we need! Wanna be a wordmate?…

Daughter and Son
A daughter and a son are raised so differently. While a daughter is taught lessons of silence and endurance, a son is taught to fight when his already low self-esteem is hurt. A daughter is restricted, even as a son is left wilding- with the fear that the first might disharmonize the rhythm of this…
Mom!
The one who loved you from your first breath. The one who gave you strength to battle the challenges in life. The one who sacrificed her day and night just so you could smile. The one who wrapped her arms around you. The one who terminated your fears and pain. The one who deserves all…
