Fare Thee Well



In the depths of this chaotic mess, I ponder, Seeking meaning in nostalgia and melancholy's yonder. I snatch fleeting moments, like a thief in disguise, Immersed in parks, birds, and poetic sighs.

Oh, how I yearn for those enchanting days, When flowers bloomed and butterflies would grace my ways. Words fail to capture the ache, the longing profound, For her, oh, how desperately I yearn, I'm bound.

Metaphors flow like rivers, tears an ocean vast, Water, my obsession, a theme unsurpassed. My breath, condensed in the cold, rises high, Whispering unspoken truths, to the clouds, they fly.

Burdened by rainy nostalgia's cleansing tide, Each droplet washes away the past's murky stride. But as it cleanses, it also dampens my soul, A bittersweet symphony of sadness takes its toll.

Rain, enigmatic muse, granting life, yet pain, A paradoxical dance, a complex refrain. Farewell, a sweet sorrow, forbidden path I tread, Oddly feeling right, as if destiny had led.

Selfish it may seem, but to be missed is my plea, Releasing my grasp, setting her spirit free. For only in goodbyes, love's truth shall reveal, Who I truly cherish, who my heart truly feels.

Melancholy swirls, but I embrace its embrace, Preferring to feel than be numb, lost in space. Apathy, a haunting specter I resist, For in feeling, I find solace, a purpose persist.

Today, optimism blooms, casting shadows away, But tomorrow, sarcasm and wit shall hold sway. Such is my nature, ever-changing, ever alive, A reflection of the day, I strive to survive.

Through the parting's pain, a glimmer of light gleams, A fragment of hope amidst the shattered dreams. Yes, I shall miss her, a bond unbroken, Our farewell, an eternal thread, a token.

C'est la vie, I say, as her words echo, She resides within my soul, a forever tableau. In introspection's realm, I wander and roam, Captivated by memories, seeking solace, my own.

The Curse of Being Good at Context

I’ve been thinking about how good I am at understanding people. Call me an airhead and proud, but really, I am good at it. Maybe too good. It’s like my brain is wired to read between the lines, catch the half-hidden sighs, the subtle shifts in tone. I can sense when someone’s tired before they say it, when a smile is just a mask, when words are doing damage beneath the surface. And I do it so naturally that I barely notice I’m doing it. I make excuses for people before anyone else even feels the sting.  They didn’t mean it.  They’re hurting.  It’s not personal.   I rehearse their backstories and soften their edges, as if by understanding them better, I can protect myself from being hurt. But here’s the thing I’m only now starting to admit to myself: while I’m fluent in everyone else’s pain, I’m utterly mute about my own. When I withdraw, I hear the word “cold.” When I set a boundary, it’s “too much.” When I flinch at a careless comment, I’m “overreacting.” No one ...

A Blank Verse Poetry

I ran this morning. Gray sky, nothing special. Weather that doesn’t force you to feel anything. Usually, I wander without purpose. Today, something stopped me. Time is a trap. We pretend it’s limited, but it isn’t. So we rush through it—steps, choices, life—until it all blurs. The small things disappear. The smell of earth, the quiet air. Gone. A song got stuck in my head. “I’ll stop the world and melt with you.” Unwanted. Persistent. How did it get in? Maybe fate. Maybe nothing. I don’t believe in destiny, but here I was—stuck in the sound, stuck in a loop. The world paused inside me. I didn’t move. The day went on. Hands trembled—not from connection, but from the weight of existing. Scars on skin—maps of past failures. Nothing clean, nothing clear. I touched a cheek. No softness. Smoke? Habit? Grip loosened—like sanity slipping. Wanting to let go, but afraid of the emptiness that follows. I kissed a cheek. A stupid move. A laugh broke the silence. A glitch. A mistake. Coffee a...

Stars and Songs

It’s 2 am and I am still awake. Though I had a long nap this afternoon, for some reason, my stubborn brain suddenly erupts in these manic streaks. My mind suddenly reboots itself and in a couple of minutes, I become as hyper as a kid who just ate 27 chocolate bars.  Since it’s pointless to lie down and struggle to find the best position, I took my laptop, go out at the porch and started writing. As sat there, I looked at the heavens and there shines my moon together with the stars. The sky was barren of clouds and you can perfectly see how the earth is blanketed by the dark sky as the moon and the stars gave it an enchanting touch.  The moon’s light is waning, so are my thoughts. I guess I am lunatic as I can write lots whenever the moon goes full. I consider the moon as my muse so I wondered, Why can't I shift my obsession to the stars?  I think this is quite improbable. Stars are illusions, I mean, most of the time, the light that we see from these stars are actually t...
