The Light In The Night

Cold is the night

When you lay all alone,

Without the warmth you set free to roam the streets,

While intimacy flew away beyond your reach;

Yet the moon stayed behind to warm your heart.


Dark is the night

When anxiety fills your heart,

Where loneliness becomes a friend you need,

Burying your repertoire amidst the barren fields;

But the moon hangs about to keep the light on for you.


Loud is the night

When your thoughts disobey your idiosyncrasy,

As it binges on the disillusionment of reality,

A direct access to the chaos you subscribed with ease;

Still the moon stays within reach, to keep you company.


Peaceful is the night

When they float into your arms,

From across the sea they paddled into your heart,

Seducing you with the tenderness of their ABCs,

As they say to you, “The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”

See you at the hut on the top of the hill, Where the ground actually meet the clouds, The closest we can be to the castles in the sky, Engineered by the dreams of the children of tomorrow, Before it starts to shatter by the de...

The Reality of Freelancing

A freedom everyone longs for yet clueless about People think freelancers have it all: the abundance of free time, an active social life and a steady income to go with it. What a cool lifestyle to live by… almost like the perceptions placed on rock stars in the music industry – carefree, liberating and elusive. Sadly, just like the shaky, unpredictable and tempestuous life of a rock star, that is merely the surface of a freelancer’s reality. Simply put, a misconception of a perception in itself.
