Good Old Days
Sonia Ettyang Aug 2019
Real steel
Stepping into the train
Smell of old leather wafts the air
Deja Vu slip through the mind
Sits next to the windowpane reminiscing
Couchette and crotchet-blankets
The night fall asleep

Dark subway tunnels
Black fumes and rigorous hooting
Departure and arrival
Screetching brakes
Roaring engines

Weekend gateways
Sundress and hats
Codroy and bell bottoms jeans
Suitcase and newspapers
Home and away
New skies and Fading memories

Holy Grail
Sonia Ettyang Jul 2019
Darling, you and I are glitches in this matrix. And this love is the holy grail that's why fighting for us feels like world War III.
Real love finds you

Written in the stars
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
Each time our eyes met
Two worlds collided
You could tell what we were feeling
was beyond our control
Just like that I fell for you and you crushed for me
Everything flashed in front of us
Like a long lost memory coming back to light
And we are just picking up from where we left
This is a story, written in the stars
Two destined hearts meant to come together as one

Down memory lane
Sonia Ettyang Jan 2019
Down memory lane is an old town house called the Past
Constructed with age old events
Painted with long held beliefs and furnished with yester memories
Hope any time you revisit the town you'll pass by with your head held high, beaming smile on your face
and a clear understanding of
that was then and this is now
That was then this is now:)

Dear Cupid
Sonia Ettyang Dec 2018
Greetings from the otherside,
Hope this letter finds you well
You know it would have been easier if you were one of us.. Maybe we sit down and have a one on one
Perhaps you could also have a gist of what it feels like to be swept of your feet without prior notice, you know?
Anyway I'm guessing your quite busy on your mission, collecting hearts with a bow and an arrow
What a love spell you got going on..
Strangers become soulmates
Friends turn into lovers
Even rivaling kingdoms unite all in the name of love
But I bet you are aware it's not always a bed of roses
Actually you already know some of us have had it rough one our end
We've experienced the darkside of cupid, as I would call it, some prefer the term "alien love bite".. but boy oh boy It's one hell of a ride ey?
From misguided minds, bleeding hearts, to fallen souls and
Shattered spirits, I mean all in the name of love you say huh?
So tell me, if it's not you then who is really sitting at the two ends of the table playing chess with with our hearts or rather who is really pulling the strings?
Maybe just maybe, you should try and reconsider a revision of this contracts so that way we could all settle scores
And make this game of love a win-win
Just hoping next time while you gamble with our hearts and aim for the perfect shot
Pause for a second or two and consider whether it's a miss or a match
For love's sake
Thanks, until next time
Wishful thinking:)

— The End —
