SELDOM MY MIND WANDERED, TO THE FARTHEST LAND OF FANTASY. IT ROARED IN THE VALLEYS OF THE UNTOLD, OF ITS UNACCOMPLISHED FEATS; RAN TOWARDS THE LIGHT, TO THE NEVER-ENDING SKIES, THROUGH FIELDS OF FREEDOM, OVER TRENCHES OF CONFINEMENT.

Sunshine in my darkest days …
Dark clouds hovered above, They blurred my vision, Unable to see beyond, I was lost. Everything around seemed so new, It was hard to believe. I felt like a misfit in my own place, Trembling, I felt alone. There came a hand in the dark like the light of the day, Familiar though, Picked me…
The “He in She” …
SHE ROSE FROM HIS ASHES, SHE TURNED INTO THE PHOENIX HE NEVER MEANT TO BE ; HE BECAME THE GOBLET, SHE BECAME THE FURY, SHE WAS A MYSTERY HE COULDN’T UNDERSTAND, HE WAS A QUESTION SHE COULDN’T SOLVE, HE WAS LIKE THE STARS IN THE NIGHT SKY, SHE WAS THE MOON IN THE BLACK EYE,…
