The scorched earth. The maroon and sunflower hues radiate through the fluffy, marshmallow-white clouds. Amongst the blades of grass, the kaleidoscope range of colourful flowers and the hardworking bees that toil away at the pollen, I realise the importance of my entire being and existence. I ponder what the day and night hold.From the beginning... Continue Reading →
I am Fire
I burn for you.Wild with reckless abandon.Uncontrollable and undefinable.I breathe, destroy, decimate and eat living and unlike things alike.Hues of sunshine yellow, blood red and midnight black.I rage against the dark of the night.Eager to dance amongst the kindling, twigs and blades of grassI urge and plead with you to set me free.
A First Encounter: Part Eleven
Shay’s phone rang. “Excuse me, whilst I pick this up. Suddenly, Shay broke away and jumped back with no prior warning. Getting me out of my reverie was no small feat. “What? What happened? What’s wrong?” enquiring with a puzzled look on my face. “We shouldn’t be doing this,” he said. “This is wrong. I... Continue Reading →
Regret
The gnawing feeling in my gut Ravages my entire being Memories of squabbles, quibbles, altercations Were a result of my insecurities Each misstep Each decision Every choice Has led me straight to you You were my North Star Every path Every heartache Every long lost dream God bless the broken road That led me straight...

A First Encounter: Part Ten
“Oh my gosh, Kaya – how long have you been standing there?” “Oh, about five minutes or so.” We all descended into an eerie silence. Crickets chirping kind of stillness.

A First Encounter: Part Nine
“Haven’t you heard the phrase love conquers all?” I shouted with conviction. “Haven’t you heard of people getting stabbed whilst holding hands on the street? The world is increasingly becoming more hateful, spiteful, myopic and small-minded. People don’t get it; people don’t understand. I forbid you from seeing him. No more cutesy baking or cooking....

Nirvana
Heaven The celestial land of milk and honey Are there clouds, harps and cherubs? Do they gaze upon the face of the Lord? Do the angels worship His Grace? Do souls frolick amongst the clouds? Are they given wings? Are there streets of gold, sapphire and rubies? Is there truly no pain, no sorrow? Freely... Continue Reading →
Heartbreak
Two hearts joined together Torn apart by circumstance Delusion of grandeur The bond existed in imagination Forged in steel The pain unbearable The break undefinable A moment in time Forever frozen, forever thine
A First Encounter: Part Eight
The questions were ceaseless. Nothing could possibly have prepared me for what was going to happen next. Not even the adventures of the Winchester brothers in the new episode of Supernatural could distract me from my thoughts about Shay. “Don’t forget your dad gets in tomorrow morning”, my mother said. My father was a renowned... Continue Reading →
