Joy and Woe

Joy and woe are woven fine. William Blake I thought about this quote a lot. How pain and happiness are actually equal. They’re both on the same spectrum. You can’t have one without the other. You can’t know joy if you never experienced misery. Well, I guess you can. To an extent. A few yearsContinue reading “Joy and Woe”

Kindness

My mum is a giver. Everything that is good in her life, she won’t keep it. She will give it to her husband, her father, her mother, her father in law, her mother in law, her brothers, her sisters, her children, her neighbours, the people in her yoga class, the people she saw on theContinue reading “Kindness”

Birds

Three out of four of our lovebirds that my dad let out have come back home. I wonder what happened to the yellow bird. He was the outcast. He didn’t play along with the rest of them. And when these lovebirds were trying to find their way back home, they called each other and recognisedContinue reading “Birds”

Water than rocks

Poetry isn’t for everyone. Nowadays, people read novels, non-fiction, short prose and newspapers. Some will prefer to consume information via social media, short videos, and podcasts.

I couldn’t bear the fact that my teeth was gone and now I have to face the worldContinue reading “Dreams”

Update on the bird escape incident. One lovebird managed to find its way home. I’m so glad she’s safe. Poor thing was starving, the first thing she did when she’s back in her cage was eating as much as she could. I don’t know if her friends are still out there or if they madeContinue reading “Escaped bird that came back home”

Cage

My dad has been letting our lovebirds outside. First, it was near their cage. Then, it was in a sealed room. Then, he let them outside. Told us he was right, they came back. They always come back you see. Today he left them outside in the garden. They left. All of them. They’re stuckContinue reading “Cage”

Then they say: “Fine, well do what you need to. But I don’t want to see you wasting your life. Isn’t it time you get a job?” Porter Robinson – Musician Something sparks in me hearing these lines from Porter Robinson’s newest song – Musician. I think it is true sometimes, that people think creative workContinue reading “musician”

Write … Especially when you have nothing to say

I learned about hard work. I also learned about consistency. I know that being a writer or a poet doesn’t necessarily mean you are always flooded with ideas and creative thoughts. That poems will flow out of your mind into the pages. Sometimes, it takes work and determination. Sometimes, you have to think about whatContinue reading “Write … Especially when you have nothing to say”
