What do I want from my life? I want to see the world, the world that has multiple layers, Uncover each layer to fathom the depth of life, I want to meet people, See faces and find the story behind each wrinkled face, The beauty of life is in just living, Not running, Sitting under…

It’s only at the crack of dawn that I sleep these days, There’s meditative silence resonating peace all around, A stream of moonlight peeks through the open window, Maybe it’s just the incandescent bulb flickering in my neighborhood, I finally let my tired hair fall on my shoulder, To be caressed by my childlike fingers…

It’s easy to pretend nothing happened, When frankly so many things happened, Our pretentious conversations founded on lies and deliberately selected memories are like a TV show talk, Ridiculous and misrepresentation of the truth, You pick the best memories but discreetly throw away the rotten ones stinking of treachery, Now untraceable in the soil, none…
