I am first and foremost a living spirit caught up in an endless storm of words floating in the clouds, a Medical student year in and out, an athlete on any field, yet still a sucker for love.
You have come a long way dear child Though you may not see it, you belong Your dreams and aspirations, you're living them Right now, even in this very moment That which you have lost is not all gone for at one stage you had gained it, it will remain forever in you, you yes you, open your mind to new possibilities the world is full of them, them The highs and lows of everyday may shape who you are but don't loose yourself in them Always aspire to achieve greatness You have yourself and only yourself to compete with So rise up as you always do Those thoughts you have, those ideas you have, those are not illusions, infact they are more real than your reality Oh dear child, you were not born just to dream, child you were born to live them Everyday is a journey, but know this, nothing remains the same forever, so take it as it comes Trials may come, peace, joy, happiness, even love too but all in its own time, Busy as a bee you may be, do take time to listen to the wind Don't just learn to dance in the rain but stop and read the stories left behind by footsteps in the mud yes, mud, she was your friend at 5, she let you mould her into cups, cakes even houses too but oh child she was inturn molding you She became a doorway to what you have now learnt to call your imagination Free and wild like a stallion in the desert, she does not want to be tamed dear child, so why are you trying to conform? that which you think and dream off, make it a reality It's already in YOU.

I have a dream, no not that of Martin Luther king, but that which is beautifully flawed, making you perfect. I am no writer so bear with me as I try to put into words That which my heart cries out. I pray that I will one day find you And not because I was searching but because it is written. I pray that our friendship will not be a toxic one Where one gives and the other takes it all. Oh dear future friend, I pray that you won’t spend so much time self- Proclaiming your worth that you forget mine, When in matter of fact we are all worth life to the one Whose opinion only matters. I pray that you will love me enough to not have to Play the victim always, nor I for that matter. I pray you won’t have to raise your voice, Just so your opinion matters for no one knows it all. I pray you won’t abuse my nature so much that even The lashes I’ve taken have no hold on your words. I pray I won’t go to bed hurt because you failed to care Oh dear future friend, I pray you will show me my wrongdoings without condemning me, Or proving again how much more righteous you are than I am. I pray you won’t count the grains of rice I lend from you To one day reclaim them all. Oh dear future friend, I have a dream. A dream where I will wake up everyday wanting to try and be a better friend to you Than I was the day before. I pray that you will not only remember that you have a friend in me Only when storms surround you, but that you will remember me too While you dance in the summer rains lit with rainbows. Dear future friend, I pray that we will write our own meaning Of friendship, one that has no laws or subtle terms And conditions applied. But mostly oh dear friend I pray that we will become friends Not ‘because of’ but because Just because Dear future friend I think I’m already in love with the thought of meeting you……..

Like my favorite herb you have once again emerged to season my stew of life. A simple glance was all it took to awaken a once quenched storm within my heart. Yet like once before, it comes with its sting of bitter-sweet, As the sun rises so does my yearn to steal a glance of your face Yet when it sets, its in your arms i now long to lay in You have never been mine to have so i envy the one who calls you Hers. With your mesmerizing smile you have gushed my whole being, leaving me like a blue-green bruise. An injury i'm willing to keep for life A reminder that i too once felt the pangs of love. They say time heals all wounds but i fear my time is only capable of moving backwards. Oh dear, hit me blue and black daily, lost in your voice, make me forget my senses and carry me in the tempest of your charm. Oh my dear sweet herb, it feels like falling off my bicycle all over again. My only wonder is whether you care for a ride
