Honesty Over Flattery

Quill

1 min read

Love isn’t the fable to call for truth where lies none,

Nor is it the expectation that your partner will always be your fun.

It is not flattery, denial or the need for perfection,

It’s to find the underlying pattern in organised sections.


Love is to hold their flawed gaze

and not ever think to deviate away.

It is to firmly grasp their tense hands,

above imperfection of where it stands.

She is my fruit

Quill

1 min read

She is perfect, tasty, ready and ripe. I had devoured her with impatient delight. But the more I eat and indulge in her, the more I notice she has some overripe spots, or some hidden blemishes that lie comfortably in her skin. Its tarnished my exquisite taste in fruits. It is no longer a perfect fruit, either way, it was going to become rotten eventually… it’s rotten. Well this is no matter, this ...

The Broken Chain. The Snapped Heart

Quill

3 min read

The physics classroom is quiet, except for the steady scratch of my favourite pen on the lined paper, gliding smoothly across the page. The equations are hard, but that’s nothing new. I copy them down, work through them.

I dotn understand what I’m writing but,

It’s fine.

The email notification pops up in the corner of my screen. Email: Subject Change Request.

I click on it.

Interpretation

Quill

1 min read

Is it just a word? Or just like meat is a word but it’s has many interpretations and meanings. Meat can mean food for someone but for others they avoid.







You may want to love but don’t know how, I know how to treat someone with love but how will I find someone who will do the same back for me? And how do I even begin to commit to the act of love.







_At times I feel like loving...

Lost

Quill

1 min read

Near but far, a soothing sound, the waves crash and leave behind a sense of dread.

All alone, he has already left, there’s no one around, so my many words are left unsaid.


Warm and caressing, the sun rays tenderly touch, and my skin is so resultany sun-kissed.

But then again, sunburns real, the time passes unknowingly as there’s no watch on my wrist.


I watched the seasons turn, as the bright oce...

Love Language Freeform Poem

Quill

1 min read

People are helplessly vulnerable, they are unknowingly closed up creatures…

They don’t want to say too much yet they expect people to understand them.


Endlessly giving to those who don’t deserve it, when can she finally be the receiver?

Brightening but burning, though her heart is the potion, the core where the desperation stems.

He tells her illusions that feed her delusions, and she trusts ever...

Envious Yet Beautiful

Quill

2 min read

The soldiers are preparing, for a new clean up at this time. The natural lights of nature have dimmed to leave behind a mere illusion of the sky. Yet, the cold white snow, freezes those right now, squeezing onto their arms as their yellowing teeth clattered to make a chilling sound. It was unknown how long these peopel have been in this warp hole for, where the conditions of the natural law of hum...

Star

Quill

1 min read

Shadows of doubt,

I can’t think clear

The depths of my mind

Are anywhere but near.


My cofined blurry vision,

Can’t see too far,

Yet my goal is to view,

Even the furthest stars.


Shaking, breaking, cold sweats forming,

It nears, nears, will I last till the morning.


A grasping feeling, can’t even see it, eventually my heart bursts, until then, so be it.

The lidded view, a huge taboo, what would h...
