Worry

[3 min read]

It was a cold rainy night as usual, which seemed to be occurring more frequently and we were all gathered round as we did every night. It occurred to me that we were just sad, and we were definitely not doing anything about it.

The Change

I met her on my first day and we undeniably clicked, we quickly became best friends. I met the second person a year later and I introduced them to each other. A few weeks later, I started to wonder if I had made a mistake. 

We were three friends, best of friends, inseparable. At least, that was what it seemed like to people and probably my two friends. But to me, I was just a girl struggling to fit in.

A Letter To The Dead

Dear Bola,

Monday the 18th was supposed to be the best day of my life,
It was our wedding day.
Supposed to be anyway.
That was the day I got the heart breaking news,
Bola was dead.

Buy me a rose

[1 min read]

I once met a lady with an amazing soul,
She had  blue eyes and a wonderful smile,
She had that kind of love that could fill any hole,
She had that laugh that resounded in your head for a while.

'There was no way I was letting her go' I thought,
'She was the one' I also thought.
And everytime she smiled over her shoulder,
She looked a lifetime younger.

One day while we drank cocoa on a blissful Sunday 5pm,
She leaned back into the crook of my arm,
And slightly played with her dress hem,
"Buy me a rose please dear dear Max."

Of course I replied "I'll get you one, is that all you want?"
She nodded and smiled.
"I'd give you the moon if that's what you want."
"I'll take it", she said with yet another smile.

The next day I bought her the rose,
And a necklace coloured moonlight blue.
But then, the Lord called her home.
I mourned for a decade,
Her going was all too soon.

And even though I  got married  a decade later,
Every night as I laid in bed I could still hear her,
"Buy me a rose Max."
That's all she ever asked.

Time understands Love

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
