So many words said, So much more left unspoken; Those feelings inside remain A mysterious curse unbroken… The few encounters, The fewer goodbyes, With each handshake A part of me slowly dies… And I come back again For yet once more; Oh do I strive to have My sweet, prohibited encore… The image is distorted,… Continue reading Farewell.. Adieu…

I am a dreamer... I paint with words what my eyes perceive.
Venomous
She gave me a chalice Of wine, sweet and red; Asked me to rest And the stress to shed… Her voice was soothing, Her eyes sincere; Hair black as night, Her charm was clear… A princess she was, A noble child; Beauty was her gift, One, dare I say, not so mild… My heart raced… Continue reading Venomous
The Temptress
I opened my eyes only to behold, The chains to which I am bound; Rusty, old and heavy, Fastened tightly to the ground… In an ancient dungeon I lie, Amidst the ruins and decay; Amongst harsh bricks and stones, And no sight of the light of day… Weighed down and burdened, Images rushed before my… Continue reading The Temptress
Gather Ye All
Gather ye all, come gather round I have in my heart a tale to tell; Gather ye round, oh come ye many For here I shall not long dwell… On mine way I ought to persist, The journey to continue I must; To speak the truth upon the world: Words of wisdom, passion and lust…… Continue reading Gather Ye All
A Broken Knight
Once more the words are broken, And Silence, in all its majesty, rules; Now I have become the beggar When once I was drowned in jewels... A white Arabian horse I rode, A knight in every way; Strength and confidence my allies, There was no going astray… My mare ran freely with the wind,… Continue reading A Broken Knight
What Women Want: A Woman’s Version
“So, what do women want?” This age-old question has been echoing, in every part of the world, since the dawn of humanity and has yet to be answered. Many books have been written on the subject; movies have been made; and comics and cartoons have been illustrating (mostly wrongly) what women want. But all kidding… Continue reading What Women Want: A Woman’s Version
Taking the road less traveled?
Okay, so I saw a (sort of) funny, but true, picture on the internet that says: "It's funny how you can tell someone likes someone else, but you can't tell if someone likes you." It's got a lot of truth in it; but why is that so? Here's the deal: boy meets girl, girl meets… Continue reading Taking the road less traveled?
Keep up with the trend, dude!
What is a trend? The definition of trend (according to dictionary.com) is: "The general course or prevailing tendency". Here's a story for you that I have been hearing a lot lately, from several friends. Real-life events of ordinary people, just like me and you. The names and genders - as well as sexual orientations -… Continue reading Keep up with the trend, dude!
“My only good friend” – The perks of being a recent immigrant
After having had a rather rough night due to flu symptoms: dry mouth and throat, upset stomach, and headache, I was awoken today at six-thirty in the morning by our dearly senile cat, meowing relentlessly for his first breakfast (he eats every 2 hours, vomits all over the place, and then meowingly demands more food).… Continue reading “My only good friend” – The perks of being a recent immigrant
You’re Doing It Wrong
Two months ago, I packed my bags, and twenty eight years of my life, and hopped on an Emirates Airlines flight to Los Angeles, California. The reason behind this decision, at the age of a few months short of 37, was the fact that I had had enough of the frustration I felt with the… Continue reading You’re Doing It Wrong
