Dusk’s Kiss

Dusk had fallen in each one of our lives as a sign for all of us to leave every ray of hope for the next morning. The azure skies dived into the sun-kissed sea, adding a tinge of greyrose to itself, while mellowing doves glided back to their harbours.

Decoding the Solitary Reaper

The Cuckoo bird recited a symphony Whilst caravans continuously whistling A new genre called harmonic cacophony Soon I fathomed ’twas Him calling. My flesh and bones stood still Bulks o’er my lashes flexed Straight from a window sill I’d landed to an annex.

POETRY: Unforgettable Night

It was a dark snowy night, Prancing forlorn under the pale moonlight. Flickered stars into the blue, Just then, the golden sea came into view.
