Crows

Crows 

Darkness

Blood


The dark magic has won, habits the shoulders of us feeble

The dark magic lied to him, convinced him to take out his half, have a taste of blood

He has his sanity in hand, feasting from what once gave him life 

Crows 

Darkness 

His own blood flows right out of his deadly fist


There's a part of him he still refers to as strong

A part that nobody has ever heard of

There's a part of him that's torn, yes

One in which nightmares haunt and make him unknown


The little boy's heart wonders of why he has blood in his hands

Why a stream of blood flows not in his veins but the very nerves that make him human

The heart trusts not itself, says its weak and hurting

Maybe, maybe he's just lost in the dark


The little boy's shoulders carries all the dark magic one can think of

Darkness, black as the only color he knows 

They told him that a real man never speaks out 

Even when the crows eats his sanity away

Even when the dark magic eats his hands away 

That's being a man they say! 


Call out the little guy in horror

Remind him of his past

Tell him the crow is an illusion

Illusions of his dreams and destiny darkening

Tell him the blood in his hands can be washed away and his body made whole again

But sanity; sanity can't be changed, only kept safe 

Remind him to protect his sanity 

Maybe that's the only way he'll defeat the darkness...

Dreaming Is Okay

 




It's okay to take all your pride and hide it in a drawer 

It's okay to have dreams so big that they seem impossible to describe

It's okay not to talk about your dreams 

It's okay to be weak 


It's okay when that weakness makes you stronger

It's just okay to be okay...

Can I Be Him

 





Can I be the one you call at 2am just because you can't stop crying

Can I be the one you call to talk about your flaws 

Can I be the last person on your call list before you go to bed

Can I be the one you talk about in all your petty stories

Let me be the one pinned in your WhatsApp chats 

The one to make you have that good-day smile every single morning you wake up

And make you get back home a little early just so we could start our night chats 

Let me be him...

Let's Love More #Coffee&Cuddles




It's the season of love 



You want her to love you more?

Get back home not at 8pm today but 9pm from work 

Don't talk to her, head straight for your bedroom; take off your clothes, pick a towel and go to the bathroom then take a cold shower

Come back to your bedroom and put on that favourite pajamas of yours, yes, the one she got you as your 1st anniversary gift 

Then sit at the dinner table and ask for your food 


See that's how you destroy a marriage... 


But again, that's the best way to spice it up


She'll ask you what's wrong because that's not normal

And immediately she does that, get up, hold her by the waist and gently bring her close enough to hear her heartbeat

Give her a peck in the forehead (come on, a peck on the lips is normal) and tell her how much you love her

That she's the best thing that's ever happened to you, 


That their, that's how you turn her on.. 




I'm not married yet

I've never had a pajamas as a gift

But at least I was curious enough to secretly watch my parent's magic

Of how they turned love into games that worked in ways so magical and romantic; probably making Romeo and Juliet jealous in their exiles


Marriage is a play I don't wanna miss 

Marriage is a prison, yes it is ...

But which prison serves kisses and smiles for breakfast?

Which one has laughter as the bells that wake you up every single morning and reminds you that you're stuck in this beautiful covenant forever

Which prison serves coffee on any cold day and cuddles for midnight desert

And laughter and passion, it's the prison anthem...

Now that's a prison I don't wanna miss...


And I know they will ask 

I know they will ask of why you do all that for her 

Why you sacrifice all that for him

Why you try so hard to make it work out when it seems lost, especially then 


And when they ask you... 

Tell them it's her 

Tell them it's him 

The one who has never broken your heart 

Tell them he's the one in who's company you get all things you probably wouldn't have dreamt of 


It's the season of love, so let's love more...

I've found one

 




When 

And when the most beautiful butterfly flew right out of the wild and landed in my garden, we said it was looking for love.

But how do I make it stay, cause I've found love.

I will

 



With all the boulders and a tyre around his lifeless body, the alleged thief looked up to the sun for the last time and gave a faint smile. He then whispered, "I'm gonna tell God everything."

They called him a believer!

It's Spring



Spring is here 

It's the season of love 

The little blind princess has mistakenly picked daisy for a flower in her favorite garden. She's taking it to her love. 

The dreadful and lonely wind decides to ruin the day and blows the petals away

Next time she'll ask the florist to wrap a flower all up for her. A shield from the wind 

She'll get the flower right 

She'll deliver it without ruin 


It's the season of love 

And the wind is also showing it...

Walk away

 





I'll walk away someday

When all my problems overwhelm me 

When all fingers point at me and my shadow doesn't follow any more 

I'll walk away 

Maybe find my destiny somewhere else


I'll walk away 

When offered dinner at tables that talk I'll of my kins 

When their friendship now attacks behind my back 

I'll walk away when they no longer talk of success

When their voices no longer praise the Mighty One in zest 

I'll walk away just then 


Walk away 

When your efforts are no longer felt 

When your trials are just mere disturbance

When appreciation is history and all they see are your faults

Walk away 

Maybe you'll be safe 


They talk of him who walked away 

The one whose head got burnt under the sun 

The one whose bloodline could never took as real man

Suffered not to provide but keep them together

They call him deadbeat now 

Walked away in search of milk but never to return

Walk away

That's when they see the role you played 


Walk away 

When your efforts are no longer felt 

When your trials are just mere disturbance

When appreciation is history and all they see are your faults

Walk away 

Maybe you'll be safe ...

My little brother didn’t understand. He dragged a chair, stood on it, pressed his lips to the glass frame of the picture on the wall, and wh...
