From my point of view
Ominous glow of fluorescent lamps
Sufficient and effective
Eerie and tormenting
Would you look outside?
Your walls majestically ornate
Your windows spotless and untainted
The perfect illusion
Of a regal palace
Though in reality
When you open your eyes
…or if
See to it
Your castle is a prison
That tricks you into believing in freedom
While keeping you in chains
I'm glad that I was in love with you
Though you may not return it in the same way
Though you may not return it at all
I am glad, nonetheless
Being in love with you taught me of the different kinds of love
That there's love for family,
...friends,
...God
You reminded me of what's good and what's not
You are a blessing
And you taught me that once you love someone...
...it will never go away
No matter what happens
No matter the odds
there will always be room in my heart
I may be speaking out of turn
but

Trailing Echoes - Prologue
PROLOGUE
I should have went there immediately after she called. I was ready to tell her how I feel for her and I still had the nerve to keep her waiting. After months of making her wait and I could not spare a few moments earlier to go and see her? How pathetic am I?
I arrived at the scene, where she was supposed to be waiting. I am sure, she must have been waiting for me here. Probably on one of the seats here. They were all so filthy but she would not mind it, definitely, I am sure. Now it had gotten even more revolting. Being a naïve idiot, I went over to ask one of the uniforms about her, if they had seen her. I tried calling, tr
Do you have a playlist of songs that you would listen to when it s raining?
The rain tells a lot about a person and how they would see life. So a collection of songs that was decided to be played during a shower would help you understand more about yourself, revealing secrets that you have kept inside and probably not aware of.
Me?
I listen to jazz when it's raining. You can say that I am a rather melancholic person. I like to think about my own problems and I do not agree in unleashing it upon the world.
Volume? Medium. Not too high to drown out the music of rolling thunder and too low for me to hear. That's just who I am.

In a dark hall of unknown volume, with only a small beam of light illuminating a circular field upon a majestic stage, a woman's shadow emerged gracefully from the darkness. As she moved closer towards the yellowish glimmer of light, her enchanting features were slowly revealed. From the top of her head, a glint of light was reflected upon the silver diadem studded with dark green gems that is magnificently arranged to complement the delicate features of the fair princess. Her hair was of a luscious dark brown, with a halo across her crown where the light hit. Her eyes were dark but with brilliant stars that exposes her tenacity and spirit. H

Spare Parts - Short Story
Rain cools the warm evening air at Petaling Street. People were bustling in and out of the shops; buying things, looking at things, eating things. It seems to get busier as the day was ending. More people came in to walk the streets of the infamous Petaling Street. To tourists, it is the hotspot to shop and the locals know better that the place can be harsh for the weak-hearted.
But to them, it did not matter. They would go there still if they want to. As long as they would have a good time and probably a good story to “tweet” about when they get back home later, getting into trouble did not frighten them in any way.
In one of t
The old path was clear tonight
Behold! Up ahead, the glowing rows of light
Like candles illuminating a dark room
As we drew nearer, the isle loomed
Reflections rippled with images clear
Lights glowed brighter as the aimless fireflies gather
No other would compare to this sight
The Pearl is alive tonight
Roads shall part
Paths would lean on
Friends would cease to meet
Faith overwhelms love
Until love becomes a passion
For the trust it beheld
Fortifies that love
Into a majestic kingdom
Of which people would come
And have a look
But never to pry or destroy
For as long as the doors are open
That is all that's needed
All that's needed to know
Only true souls would gather
Forming bonds eternally stronger
As there's still trust, no one would falter
For the journey is long, we need to go further
A moment relatively rare, rarer noticed
A spectacle only for the ones sleepless
And for the ones truly patient and curious
For it's predictability of a blooming Cereus
It's the journey of a creature so fierce
However discreet, barely anyone hears
The sky turns into a blazing crimson
Clouds stained with hues like paint on cotton
The chariot sunk, light was near depletion
Shifting every vista into this nocturne
And if you intently listen for a movement
There is music of instruments to never be learnt
Soon darkness would come a s near
To the point when you can't quite hear
The loud yet gentle strides of a stranger
Lucky you'd be to see her wan
