A warrioress needs a warrior
To match the rhythm of her wild heart and run wild with it
Ignite her flame and set fire to her soul, let her untamed spirit fly free

Together they transcend in love
Swirling like  a whirlpool galaxy
With a million stars shining
Exploding like supernova
Soaked up in stardust
Gracing the infinite space
Higher and higher
In divinity

"Wild hearts deserve strong lovers." John Mark

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:)

Like a rose
Let your essence bloom with glory and splendour
Keep your insides soft and supple
Embrace your thorns, for they keep you guarded
Allow your petals to droop and wither whenever the seasons change
Let your leaves soak in the summer sunshine
And your roots drink the heavy rainfall.
Nourish your being and grow back again with much grace and vibrance

Cloudy skies
Heavy downpour
Cold breeze
Swaying trees
Misty window panes
Traffic lights
Hooting cars
Gushing gutters
Drenched trench coats
Soggy feet
Colourful umbrellas
Crowded shelters
Empty side walks

The city skips a few hearbeats
And comes to a stand still
Soon as the pounding rain stops
Everything returns to normalcy

But rainy days call for
Steaming cups
Slouchy sweaters
Fluffy blankets
Snuggles
Cuddles
Novels
Notebooks
Gramophone tunes in the background
Enjoying a little piece of heaven
While the day is washed off
Setting stage for a clean fresh start

Lover of rain

Life can give you lemons
Life can give you berries
Will you enjoy the bitter sweet taste?
Will you focus on the bitterness of the lemon ?
Or will you get lost in the sweetness of the berries ?
Well, it's a choice we make everyday
learning to enjoy the tasteful blend of sorrows and joys
Laughter and cries
Happiness and sadness
Whatever is served
We learn to make the best out of it and quench the thirst
Sonia Ettyang Nov 2018
There are those in life
Who have given their best
Shot their best shot
Jumped their longest stride
Walked their longest mile
Ran their longest race
Climbed their highest peak
Although somehow they still haven't reached their destination
Haven't found their happy ending
But they still put their best foot forward
they rise after every fall and keep pushing
Until one day the find their answer
Until one day they turn dust into gold
Until one day they become the light at the end of the tunnel
They beam like a lighthouse
and show the world who they are made of, made of stardust
They shine bright like gemstones on the midnight blue sky

To be a star you need to embrace the darkness
Stars can't shine without darkness
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2018
I lay down this dead roses
Out in the open field
Watch the petals turn to dust
And vanish in the wind
Make a heart felt wish
For a soul I once thought I knew is dead and gone
Sank deep into the abyss
So glad I could catch a glimpse of whats left of your sunken soul
And now I loosen my grip and set you free
May the waves carry the weight of your burdened spirit  
Forever hold your peace
©Sonia Ettyang
I send a hope upon the wave for the soul I failed to save
