Just musings.

What’s the dream?




Oh, it’s catastrophically specific and absurdly unattainable. Picture this: someone who reads ancient poetry in candlelight but also curses like a sailor when they stub their toe. Someone who could win a swordfight at dawn and still look effortlessly disheveled by noon. The kind of person who drinks coffee like it’s a religious ritual but secretly loves cheap instant noodles at 3 a.m. A storm in their heart, an opera in their soul.

A nerd who loves his turtlenecks, someone who underlines their books with a fountain pen, who sighs dramatically in museums, and someone who owns a pocket watch and uses it unironically. Poets who look like they might vanish if you touch them, characters who live in storms, and the person in the corner of the library who smells like ancient paper and regret. Add to that someone who drinks coffee as if he needs it in his blood, someone who plays the violin like it’s a matter of life and death, and someone who stares at the stars like they’re bargaining with fate.



Oh, and let’s not forget the ones who collect old maps of places that don’t exist, the shadowy figure you pass on a rainy street who’s definitely keeping a secret, and the artist who only paints in candlelight. The dream? It’s anyone who looks like they were written into existence by a moody 19th-century author fueled by unrequited love and existential dread.


I like them a little unhinged, like they’ve seen the edges of the universe and came back to tell the tale—messy-haired, slightly haunted, but with a laugh that feels like a firelight on cold nights. Give me the ones who have heartbreak etched into their eyes but still find joy in chasing stray cats down cobblestone streets. The ones who look at the world like it’s both a battlefield and a blank canvas.





To find, and to keep. And to love, with all my might. 


That, my friend, is the dream. (:









love always,

S

When the stars gazed back at us.

  When the stars gazed back at us,  it was not about beginnings; it was about recognition. About that rare, almost fleeting moment when the universe did not feel distant or indifferent, but attentive, almost complicit. ;) I woke up remembering you, All your words, old and new. Of dreams I hold of lands unseen, As if your name’s the hum I’ve known, your face the only thing I’ve seen. Even the sun bears your name,  Without you, rain feels strangely tame. They may call me mad, broken, or even wrongly built, I’d still reduce to dust all that may keep us apart, without remorse or even a speck of guilt. You and me, we took an oath, To be each other’s home through misery and gloat. If I were to do it all over again, I would, of course, I would, Wouldn't change a thing even if I could. I’ve held you through your sin, you’ve seen me through my crime Miles and miles I’ve carried all your shadows; you have borne witness to mine.  Across all lives, though you forg...

Miss you like an old song.

Somewhere between an old radio song, a cold vanilla latte, and emotional unemployment, I wrote  (blows raspberries )  THIS?!  *insert debating one’s own sanity [poet really only means the curtains are blue] You know those people who leave so quietly that even silence starts sounding like them after a point? Excruciating enough  that some nights, memory shows up disguised as curiosity and suddenly you’re three hours deep into old interviews, random reddit  ravel   (wtf is even that?!) , blurry photographs, and strangers loving/hating someone like they discovered them first.  And somehow, against all logic, one might still end up offended… as if the world was supposed to know that your silence around them was sacred. When they sometimes wanna make you drag out of the perfectly made (very very comfortable) cocoon then climb on top of that rooftop yell (softly though) for them to bloody get out of their head, how they’ve stretched out the liberty by far m...

Miles of cipher.

It’s a love language built from quiet conspiracies, keeping someone’s bookmark but returning their books, fingers intertwined while glaring at a painting of Mount Etna in some forgotten gallery in the south of Wales, slipping folded notes into the spine of a John le Carré novel.  It’s leaving a pressed wildflower between borrowed pages and saying nothing, standing shoulder to shoulder on a night railway platform until the last train pulls away and your hands finally find each other, softly debating which café chair has the better view and trading places halfway through. It’s sharing music on a tiny USB drive instead of a link, tracing secret shapes on each other’s palms while pretending to study a museum map, leaving cryptic sticky notes on coffee cups, walking an unfamiliar city under one half-soaked umbrella. It’s mapping constellations with your fingertip on their wrist beneath a quiet sky, tucking a single printed photograph into the lining of their coat. A romance stitched tog...
