Epiphany

There it is. The depth of an emotion subdued by the distractions of everyday life. It is not late in the night, and yet I find myself sitting at the precipice of midnight, thinking thoughts one has only closer to twilight. It catches up with you-this loneliness- especially when it is reflected back to you…

as if this isn’t a confession

I wake up to a beautiful sunny day and the first words out of my mouth are ‘I love you’. I walk around in a city that is not mine and I think ‘I love you’. I wash dishes in my sink while the breeze tinkles the windchimes outside and I think ‘I love you’….

A 1 am text to my late lover

April 21st, 2024, 1 am I hope sending a message here is like sending a message into the void and hoping nobody will see it. You’re not here anymore and as much as I think I’ve made my peace with it, small reminders come knocking on my door every once in a while and send…

dissonance, decorum & delight

I am twenty-two years old. No, I am twenty-three now, months and months after the first time I started writing this. And I know now that age is just a number and everything you learn in your life is determined by everything but these two inconsequential numbers. You know those balding men at army parties…

for you

fool me once, fool me twice, but don’t lie to me when we capsize, there was an ocean waiting for you, uninhabited island like a beautiful malibu, but I guess none of twas enough to suffice for you, for you watched you like you were a vision in blue, learned all your sins to try…

traces

I leave traces of me everywhere I go, the water in my mind’s sea, overflowing into everything I do. I put down a few roots, just a couple to keep the memories alive, a few pieces of me, so you will remember to not forget me. If you know it in one glimpse, it’s legendaryWhat…

Love is violent; and what about it?

There is a longing inside the crevice of my heart, and I must confess that it is unlike anything I have experienced before. There are fragments of different desires, amalgamating into a grotesque, living, breathing mess, that I cannot bear to look in the eye even on my good days. There is a depth in…

the moth’s winter

For two whole years I have been writing about a change in the horizon, and today I write from beyond it. I like to think of these kinds of entries as a small notification in your inbox, a small reminder that I am here, I am living a tumultuous life, and this too shall pass….

why i haven’t been writing

It has been years since I have attempted to write. There remain a myriad of unfinished projects, an abandoned novel, and a rotting WordPress blog. There is so much change coming in the horizon that this thought of unsaid words has remained a recurring and sometimes irritating thought that visits me every time I think…

pages from my journal

June, 2022 There are many things that occur to me. On a daily basis, between meals, among people, in solitude. But what does not appear with equal clarity, is what I can and must do with it. Do I write it down? If yes, then to what purpose? I am constantly ridden with these feelings…
