A Good Morning

When reality feels like a dream…


After a long, tiring, week day finally came to an end, I free fell across my bed to relax and take a moment to myself. These moments are usually spent having more like a retrospective discussion with myself.
This morning when my mind woke up for the first time from deep sleep, I knew what I was about to open my eyes to. I could sense your presence right beside me. I lifted my heavy eyelids while I felt my cheeks make way for a smile only to see your beautiful face right in front of me. And in what may have been minutes, felt like few moments I admired your face as if detailing every inch of your skin. I watched you slowly open your charming eyes that stared right back at me, and those luscious lips broaden a smile on your face. The Silence of Breath had intrigued my conscience with hopes and dreams. At this moment all that was just about to come true. All those wishes had passed on from dusk to dawn. The comfort of laying there in your arms felt like I was wrapped up in bubble of love and care. I pulled myself closer until I could feel your body brush against mine. I kissed your forehead as words came out of my mouth "Good Morning". And I heard the same words come back at me. A morning never felt better. I ran my fingertips through your naked skin and watched your skin awaken as my fingers touched the surface. I took pride in waking you up just as much as you enjoyed the manner in which you were woken up. The happiest moment of my day! I am not a morning person but waking up to have you in my arms is all I need to begin my day with a smile on my face and joy in my heart. I made a wish.... "I wish to wake up each morning and thank the heavens for blessing me with your presence." If only I had said that out loud... The rest of the day flew by thinking about you and already missing everything I had for the last four hand full of hours. The thought of returning back home to an empty bed, yet another night without you. And there I lay on my bed, that felt emptier than it normally does. It felt like a dream. A beautiful dream, come and gone. Like bursting a bubble, and watching it's essence simply vanish in thin air. My heart sank for a moment as I turned to one side, to reach the comfort of my pillows. It wasn't a dream, I felt my heart pump up again. The traces of reality hadn't yet faded away. Your essence still immersed in my pillows. I held on comforting myself. I tried to convince myself that distance makes the heart grow fonder.

I miss you like everyday depended on a morning like this.

To Live and to Love the Rains... Most people I know sigh at the thought of rains. Personally, I don't understand it. I for one love the rains. I love almost everything about it. I enjoy right from watching the rains sitting by the window eating brownies, drinking coffee, right up to playing football and getting drenched in it. Long drive/ride in the rain, sometimes even a swim.. Yeah I know what you non lovers are thinking! Why would I want the rain when i’m already wet in the pool and its cold. But its just something about it, that very few people get. One fine Sunday, summer afternoon, I was lazing in my balcony and whiling away my time waiting for evening and the sun set. I don’t really enjoy everything that comes with the blaring heat even though I come from a very hot and humid place along the west coast. And no doubt I loved the coast not because of the hot beaches, but because of the cool ocean that I could swim in after a long, sweaty game of football or volleyball

The Silence of Breath

It was three days after a full moon, and although it only appeared to be yet another full moon this very night, it was not, but was still lonesome and beautiful. It was silent and quiet. I was laying on my bed, I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't let the approaching restlessness have the better of me. I closed my eyes to pay attention to the noises around me which are usually insignificant and go unnoticed. I could hear the crickets chit-chattering, giving the night importance by their presence like as if they were an impatient crowd waiting to witness something that was going to happen, left in suspense, left with curiosity, left with the hopes of amazement . I blocked the cheer of the crowd out from my head and it happened. I could hear your breath while you were fast asleep. The pure innocence of a child, the presence of an angel. Each time you inhaled, it felt like something was taken away from me. And each time you exhaled, I could feel your breath on my skin, trickling

The Secret to Happiness

Live It, Love Yourself, Laugh It Off It is human nature to be unsatisfied, to want more, to succumb to expectations and external pressures. And to make things worse the neighbour’s grass always appears to be greener. Any person’s life will revolve around one of/some of/many of/all of the following things Career: Power, Money, Knowledge, etc. People: Family, Friends, Partner, Colleagues, and Society, etc. Interests: Hobbies, dreams, and passions, etc. What you do is mostly your choice, and off course there are some unfortunate people who may not have a choice for various reasons. But this is more for people who are not so unfortunate and who have tons of choices in the world to be happy but don’t do shit about it. I am so tired of hearing the statements or being asked questions such as... “Work hard!”, “But you can make more money!”, “Just follow your dream/passion!”, “What will people think/say?”, ”When are you getting married?”, “Why don’t you buy a new car?”. Many people str
