Sun shines
rain drops
Blue clouds
on summertime
Flowers bloom
despite the gloom
Is it typical
or magical
When sun sets
with golden hues
Reminding you
tomorrow’s news
Will be
in a treasured chest
Of memories
you won’t forget.
And when he said
he’s leaving now
You realized
it’s typical
For sunrise
to say hello
and say goodbye
with purple glow.
Daily Prompt: Typical

I was supposed to write about illusion then I glanced at my apple juice. Time might be the culprit why I can’t write a long story, but it doesn’t mean I can’t sum it up by thinking about Instagram.
I never complained why my life isn’t a picture perfect kingdom because some fruits taught me wisdom. And call me crazy when it made me smile that some people’s lives are juicier than mine. 🙂

When you are in a glass case of emotions
and everything is bottled up,
why wait for someone to unscrew the cap?
Let it all out and speak up.
Never take someone’s feelings for granted
you just don’t know how much courage
it took them to show it.
Never run away from your feelings
because someday
you still have to face it.
Time is not an enemy
but it is neither a friend
if you keep hiding.
Roll the bottle
shake it up
break it if you have to.
The shattered pieces may hurt you.
The broken splinters may scar you
but then who am i to teach you?
I’m just as coward as you.
Daily Prompt: Bottle

Wedding bells
will soon be ringing
Prenuptial papers
you hope he will be signing
But when he said
that love knows no limit
The winds of love
is slowly changing
In dictionaries
now you are searching
Love
and all its hidden meanings.
Daily Prompt: Blur

The palette and
the brush
can never paint
the secret fountain
The wisdom
to comprehend
the flowing emotions
as high as a mountain
What you see
is what you get
but you can
never be certain
Once you meet
the abstract people
when you start
looking at the mirror
Abstract people. Have you met them? Do you recognize them? Do they ever bother you? Do you understand them?
Understanding them is like viewing a painting. Your interpretation is limited to your understanding. Your understanding is limited to your truth.
Looking at the painting, how could you refute the visible signs of the brush if you’re only seeing the canvas? And how can you accept the beauty of its diverse colors if you hate to walk in shades of gray and live your life only in black and white?
And what is your truth? Is the sun your truth or the moon on a dark night? Is it the rainbow after the storm or the pot of gold after the rainbow? Is your truth your refuge when life is a curse or it becomes your oath when life is a gift?
Abstract people. Most of the time, you don’t understand them. Sometimes, you are one of them.
Daily Prompt: Recognize
