Fly


I wonder if Icarus knew

Would he fear falling

And give up freedom

Or would he still wish he could fly

Imagine having wings

Soring high above the ground

Flying up and beyond

Until everything becomes as tiny as a dot

Escaping the gravity that pulls you down

You rise higher and higher

Where the earth screams beneath,

'Beware the fall'

The wind brushing your cheecks

A laugh escapes your lips

'Free at last', your lungs sigh

With the taste of freedom as swwet as honey

No noise from below reaches your ears

When the listener becomes the speaker

And have conversations deeper than the sea

From up there you see the beauty

Intricately designed just for you

Every puzzle piece falls into its place

As a grand plan gets revealed

If I were him

I would choose to fly

The sun might burn my wings

But in that moment I will be free.

The Fated Couple - Chapter 1

"Grandpa, Tell me more about yours inventions!" "Yes... I was an inventory once, *scoffs* what a fool I was...". "Why do you say that? Aren't inventors really cool!" He adjusted his glasses to take a better look, "Mateo... was it? I once thought I could play with time. Only to have it play me". "". John started rocking in his chair as he closed his eyes remembering, "It all started in 1941..." Year 1941 John I chugged a bottle of rum to drown all the noise inside my head. I spent years to invent the machine that could make history, I even refused other ideas. They were right...with no investors, no money, I'm here spending my last dime to get drunk and get wasted. Is this how it ends for me? I lost my balance and almost tripped on the stairs when a hand grabbed a hold of me. Everything was a blur, the last thing I saw was someone with a blue hat and a dress before loosing consciousness. I woke up to a wooden ceiling. ...

Finding Happiness

Welcome to my very first blog. Considering I'm new to this world, I really hope you would pardon my mistakes. This will be a series of such blogs as we try to figure some of the essential truths of life. I hope you enjoy this journey.   Let's see what is this thing called as happiness is all about. I can tell you one thing for certain that each and everyone of us including me and you are after this feeling. So we work day and night, stressing ourselves, trying to find this emotion. In fact so much so that we end up dedicating our entire life for this cause. You might say-'No that's not right not all of us are running behind happiness. Everyone has their own needs'. To answer that question let me explain it to you this way. Sure people have different desires and ambitions but tell me something what is it are you trying to accomplish by fulfilling them? Got the answer? Yes that's what I am trying to say. You may have your own way sorted out to get to this state of...

The Fated Couple - Chapter 2

Year 1942  Rose It has been a year since I've started interacting with this John. I gave him ideas and he worked his magic. He was charming, witty, smart and most importantly handsome. I watched as John worked on my latest blueprint. He was covered in dust with his slightly long brown hair tied up in a small pony, his sleeves folded up, showing his tan skin and beads of sweat trickling his forehead. I could keep looking at him forever . "Hey, you are staring as if you'll burn a hole through me". He smirked, "Like what you see". I rolled my eyes and hurried off to the kitchen. I couldn't let him see me turning into a tomato. I fumbled through some ingredients and put together a sandwich. I knew how John would sometimes forget to eat or drink while working. That's how focused he would be. I felt proud to be in the same room as him. He didn't understand how much talented he was. He was perfect. My kind of perfect. I grabbed the tray and stepped in t...
