sri lanka Just letting my feelings out
You are the sea and I am the shore. By each wave that clashes upon me, you take something away from me. Eventually I’ll have nothing left for you to take away. But the funny thing is, each time you leave the shore, I always wait for you to come back to me.

Fade Away
Lost, Scattered dreams, Endless stormy seas, Skies are out of reach, Please breathe.....

camp, drag, gay, labels, hashtags, names, call me maybe
Maybe it’s the way these four walls can’t keep me in place Or the way that I can’t control who I am Everything seem to make no sense Nonsense I wasn’t made to be strangled this way By the ones that I love By the ones who swear they love me That’s exactly why I’m sitting here alone contemplating whether to take the risk or not ‘Cause like I said These four walls can’t keep me in place. I was made to fly away and explore the vast sky Maybe swim the deep ocean Even though I don’t know How to fly or swim Yet I’ll take the first step And see if I could be free Finally

Yet I will
Images extracted from the tapestry of my dreams. Sewn intricate... Into a patchwork. A quilt, embroidered with lavish sequins and ornate beads. Bringing forth fantastical motifs... A dazzling display upon the backdrop of my dreamscape. Yet... This mosaic of dreams does not warm me so. It never lasts. They fall away like autumn leaves come the dawning sun. They get washed out and pulled into the tide, as the waves beat upon the shore of wakefulness. They fade into fragmented memories that make no sense... Incoherent and disjointed. Eventually, they disappear... For they do not belong in a world of worldly things and ticking clocks. Their intangible and mismatched nature render them inconsequential... Naturally... They get misplaced. But I am stubborn. I will fashion such a blanket. One that skirts the boundary of this realm and the other. I will tailor it so... So that... I will sleep tonight, swaddled tight and cocooned within its glorious seams. Tucked within the safety and warmth of this blanket... Woven immaculate... Out of worldly things and breathtaking dreams.

Blanket
The starry night, the hue of colors in the evening, the strands of light peeking through the window in the morning, never meant that much. To us who aimlessly walk to reach a future that isn’t written yet. Endless demands, dreamless lives, hateful screams echoes through the night. Helplessness slowly creeps onto our mind.

From the Youth
They say not everyone can dream I say we all are dreamers Why else would we struggle To find happiness in the sadness To give a meaning to the meaningless To find something that lasts in the ephemeral It’s because we are dreamers that we haven’t given up yet That’s why we are still alive Still breathing We tend to the fire That is gonna die down anyway We assure ourselves that we are happy Well, there’s a little beauty in that
