From JN: To Someone You Don't Talk To As Much As You'd Like To

I've always been bad at keeping in touch or even starting conversations. So, to the people I don't talk to as much as I like to, this one is for you.

If you're reading this and are friends with me,
You know how difficult that can be,
If you've only met me a couple of times,
I promise you I'm not quiet all the time.

So this is for all of you,
The ones I don't talk to as often as I'd like to,            
It's not that I don't like talking to you,
It's just that I don't know how to.

I've always been bad at conversations starters,
My mind either goes blank or I stutter,
I also am bad at keeping the conversation going,
And that's always been a curse not a blessing.

So this one is for all of you,
I'm working on this curse of mine,
I'd like to say I'm sorry too,
And I hope we can catch up sometime.

JN is the one who doesn't take chances, but she's working on that. She's powering through life, one day at a time. Even with all that life throws her, you'll always see her with a smile. She's a hopeless romantic, hopeless beyond repair. You may say she's a dreamer, but she's got her feet on the ground.

Unravelling Time

Many times I feel that there isn't enough time or I am pressed for time. Times have changed and time will continue moving regardless of you are ready for when the time comes. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, The existence of yesterday is no more, That time is lost and has passed by, A measure of that moments at it's core. Undeniably, extinction creeps closer, Slowly, slithering into reality, Develops with the bad habits we foster, As humans go on to lose their humanity. Unfortunate, are the regrets of the past, Of jilted misconsumptions and plights, Forgiveness should not be kept for last, It is the solution to all the fights. Uncontrived, are the faults of our future, What we do now paves way for what comes later, Your choice determines the destination to your departure, Questions will oscillate between which way would be better. Unfold the sheets of untapped potential, Dust off the layers of procrastination, Time and talent are no...

SY: Tales of A Night Butterfly

NaPoWriMo Prompt Challenge Week 10: "Today’s prompt comes to us from Lillian Hallberg. She challenges us to write a “book spine” poem. This involves taking a look at your bookshelves, and writing down titles in order (or rearranging the titles) to create a poem. Some fun images of book spine poems can be found here. If you want to take things a step further, Lillian suggests gathering a list of titles from your shelves (every third or fifth book, perhaps, if you have a lot) and using the titles, as close to the originals as possible, to create a poem that is seeded throughout with your own lines, interjections, and thoughts." For Steed and Mrs. Peel, It was the golden game, There were truly, madly, deeply, Taken by each other's charm, He held her hand as she passed by He said,"Where is my doughnut?" She ended that night telling Jezebel, They called us loud! Soon it turned into Jeeves and wedding bells, Coloured their own amplified stories, Wrote...

2020

I  wrote this on the flight travelling back to Malaysia in 2020, leaving Australia after what would have been the last time I see the person that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was observing the people around me, it was an 8 hour flight with a lot of turbulence, who would have know that 2020 would be that kind of year as well. It is funny how things tell you of what will come in its own little ways. Looking around absorbing the sensations to accommodate my body to my surroundings, Infusing my skin with lavender and chamomile to soothe the tension in my muscular fibres.   On my left, a rubik cube frantically trying to solve itself It is but a process of working out possible solutions and running through know standard operational patterns Constant rotations occur and in mere minutes the puzzle is solved.   On my right, two European centurians ecstatic to journey to a new land Partners in life and adventurers ready for new horizons just above the equator They ...
