Moments

At that moment, I found a solace within the warmth of her heart. Standing on the side of a road covered with fresh snow, I took a vow to share the cacophony of laughter while adoring the serenity of silences with her. At that moment I knew that this love is rare – this love is found only once in a lifetime. And at that moment, I realized I have found my home – Eve. … More Moments

Scared

How can we get to know each other if we don’t know what we hide form the world – our true self? Only when we see each other’s naked dark thoughts, we begin to understand. And fear, true fear, I think is one of the most humane emotions. Often it makes us run from something – maybe also towards something. Or someone. … More Scared

Healing

As I walk towards my car, I stop for a moment. The sun was shining brightly. A few birds were flying high above, looking for joy – peace maybe?

From the moment I saw you, I started hearing voices from the past which I thought I would never hear again. I started having dreams about fighting my shackles off and being free from the clutches of the mediocre of a life. I knew I had to fight a lonely and a long forsaken battle, the end of which would be where it all started – nothingness. There was a burning urge to wash away the old, the indolent and the abandoned, and to strive for a fresh beginning. … More Yesterday

The Wait

I found the cook from the local restaurant bumming a smoke in his break. A group of kids from school laughing back home. A child pleading her mother for an ice cream. Or whatever.

The world was the same.

Only mine wasn’t. … More The Wait

Alone

As darkness starts to wrap it’s arms around me, I look to find myself alone. All alone, in the middle of somewhere which is nowhere – is the end here? But then, I find the moon, shining with all it’s might, guiding me home. In response to Sonya‘s Three Line Tales.
