Overwrought Smoldering... Photos by Nana Yaa 😉 I’m being eaten up slowly Munched on gradually Bitten, nibbled, gobbled up Pieces, chunks and morsels of my very being Masticated, lubricated Swallowed into an endless gut of insecurity Living in constant uneasiness... Wasting away... Fear, doubts, thoughts... confused Abrupt occasions of a pounding heart Sudden piercing pains in … Continue reading Smolder

Miles Apart – 2
...because of the distance between us Inspired 2 - The Other Side Face to face... Heart to heart... Eyes to eyes... I stare at her... With grins as broad as ligamentum latum uteri She smiles... And I sink into the whirlpool of her dimples. She chuckles... I burst into laughter She kicks the air with … Continue reading Miles Apart – 2
Calm
Breathe... Sigh... Calm... Inspired Calm… When the quiet moments are too loud When the silence is deafening Then my mind is wondering Where hers are wandering When the warmth is freezing And the cold sizzling When the fires are growing dim Then my smiles grow grim When the thoughts stay bottled up When there isn’t … Continue reading Calm
Crim-Son
2 Read slowly... Decipher... Call her the little girl’s favourite fiction character She wore a hood... just like Robin did Smart and daring, she defeated a wolf Do you remember her name? The symbol of love... With the cartoon hearts people draw Add to blue and you’ll see purple... Mention to the classy and they’ll … Continue reading Crim-Son
Red
Red Laced... with elements of red... Red. He wasn’t alert of her scars With every action... with every step... He inflicted more and more stabs to her frail skin... And they dripped endlessly with sweat and sticky hues... She lay down on the shore The book she read lay on her chest... and she sipped … Continue reading Red
Skyfall
Like Icarus loved the sun, too close, too much Skyfall Falling...Nothing to hold on to All around there's darkness. All of a sudden, the ground disappeared,..yanked away All of my thoughts blank,...scared away All of my limbs flailing,...desperately Twisting...turning...reaching out "Do you have anything you want to say?" “Say?..I want to scream! … Continue reading Skyfall
When I cared
Once upon a time… When her words mattered to me When I wondered what her thoughts would be When I cared what she would see When my joy depended on her glee When she had me wrapped up and not free Once upon a time… When my heart would beat with a touch When my … Continue reading When I cared
Miles apart
...because of the distance between us ...Inspired I wish I could be around... To hold you and tap your back To pull you into my embrace and keep you close... To gently stroke the stray strands of your hair as they stick out of the loose ends of your braids To wrap my hands around … Continue reading Miles apart
Hello miss
Miss imaginary miss. Weirdly inspired. Featured image by Betty Why do you make those remarks? Short, blunt remarks Remarks that quench up the sparks Sparks in the weary heart of mine growing dark Darker than a thousand fallen dusks Why do you fail to reply? Reply the million texts on which I rely Rely … Continue reading Hello miss
Trance
...because regret is stronger than gratitude I saw you sparkle from a distance With your beauty... I was dazzled My feet couldn’t keep still. Like a zombie, I was set in a trance towards you I saw that look you gave me So inviting... You winked and signalled that I come closer As I progressed … Continue reading Trance
