A Sailor
Once there was a sailor,Who embarked on a voyage,A tumultuous path ahead,But he kept courage in his heart All alone on his adventure,Going to an unknown island,He may have been brave,But he had the right to be frightened. day was smooth sailing, no problems showedHe sailed at night happily, on his way to shoreAnd at…
Dreams
15 minutes into the 3rd period, the class realized that there wasn’t any teacher – substitute or otherwise – coming to teach them. Immediately 3 or 4 out of the 47 bored 12th graders left the classroom, going who knows where to do who knows what. Probably behind the school’s park where smoke ring races…
Dear Friend #6
Dear Friend,The irony is so grave it makes me laugh, you died by falling? You? The person who would hang from 3 storey windows for fun? You? The person who’d try to encourage me to do the most dangerous things like hanging off parapets with one hand, ‘The fun’s worth it’ you used to say.…
Approach Of Darkness
Our love you know isn’t true,So many lies like, ‘I love you’,But now that I’m leaving this world,I think it’s time for me to unfurl. It started with a second sun,They said I was the chosen one,And so my destiny, written down,turned into something on which to frown. And now that I have grown,To cuts…
Dear Friend #5
Dear Friend, It’s been a week since you went to that place, we’re all hoping that you’ll send a message, somehow. Our class, which used to be so loud and irritating, is now quiet, guess you were the loudest one after all. No one sits on your chair, we’re still hoping you’ll walk through that…

Dear Friend, Over the last few days, some things have changed. I’ve learnt some things I would have preferred to remain estranged. I doubt you and your intentions, you aren’t telling me everything, seems you forgot to mention. For some reason, I feel that we both want to drift away. Our bond is really fading…

Dear friend #2
Dear Friend, It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today with my most recent revelations, and taking heed from there the lessons I have so far learned. I have come to the conclusion that I do not deserve to have a friend. For all those who grow close enough to me to…
Dear Friend
Dear friend, It’s been a few days since we last talked, I hope you are keeping well. I realize you probably cannot muster enough courage and/or strength to write back. I realize you have been through a lot, please go easy on your self, work and study is important, but only if you are in good…
A thousand men.
On that night, A thousand men stood, For a tide they had to hold, A thousand men, With wicked looks and scary hooks, But with hearts of pure gold. They sat, they stood, On the crest of the hill, Unfaltering as ever, To protect their homes, Their families and friends, Who awed at their endeavour.…
