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

Where we die together and live forever

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:)

Angels Cry
Their hearts begged the heavens for them to meet. But not a single hello came from him or her when they  finally met. Just Silence, shattering hopes of a besought desire fulfilled .

Confetti
Sonia Ettyang Oct 11
Confetti rains with giggles loud,
Naughty gestures, cheeky and proud.
A peek-a-boo that sparks delight,
A vibrant pack, ready to ignite.

You’re a kaleidoscope in a dull gray scene,
With shades of mischief—bold and keen.
Life’s a party with you around,
In your colorful chaos, joy is found.

WHISPERS prt2
Sonia Ettyang Oct 11
I stand on the road,
One foot ahead, where the wild winds blow.
A suitcase in one hand, dreams tucked inside,
A thumb raised high, with the world as my guide.

Eager for a cruise with a heart to discover,
Each mile a whisper, as I search for my lover.
With stars as our compass and the sea as our song,

Hearts and Minds
Sonia Ettyang Oct 29
We run from love's warm embrace,
Though our hearts yearn to be near,
We whisper a cautious no,
While longing for what’s clear.

In the dance of hearts and minds,
With missteps that leave us torn,
The princess lost her charming prince,
In the silence of love’s dawn.

A chance lost to the days.
In silence, we mourn the path
That led us far away—
A dream once held so closely,
Now just a shadowed sway.
In shadows we often tread,
We glance and hope for contact,
Yet fear the words unsaid.

So let us dare to speak,
To bridge the gaps we create,
For in the honesty of words,
True love awaits, not fate.

Echoes of you
Sonia Ettyang Oct 20
What if I told you, in whispered night,
That shadows of longing still dance in light?
In the quiet moments when time stands still,
I find echoes of you, a heart to fill.

Back then, we were dreamers, two souls in flight,
Chasing the stars, lost in our delight.
But seasons have changed, and paths drift apart,
Yet your memory lingers, a flame in my heart.

What if I told you, I wanted you then,
In laughter and silence, in now and again?
A truth woven softly in threads of the past,
A whisper of “what if” that’s bound to last.

So here in the twilight, I stand, ever near,
Carrying wishes wrapped tight in my fear.
What if I told you, in moments divine,
That wanting you now feels like crossing a line?

Flame, Remember me
Sonia Ettyang Oct 20
Like a wick in wax,
Ignite my soul,
Let’s dance in the fire,

Where passion burns
With every flicker bright,
Our spirits intertwine,
In this sacred light,
Your heart beats with mine.

Embers whisper secrets,
In the warmth we find,
A love that never wanes,
Eternal and unconfined.

Like a wick in wax.
Ignite my soul
And lets dance in the fire

Gentleman's Pride
What an old soul you are,
Donned in leather that strikes tales of time
Cool tie and rocky shoes,
Leaves the girls smitten, caught in your gleam.
A presence that that feels like a rhyme
Is it your poise or charisma that draws them near? I ponder

Your mad hatter jokes weave laughter like art,
To what do I owe this delightful cheer?
A dance with you was never my intent.
With a glass down, I fix my flair,
Ready to strut to your grooves embrace,
“Shall we?” you say, each pun in sync,
A wink and a smile, together with a tip on the hat.

“Be mine for the night,” you say it with a smize
“If and only if we dance till the dawn breaks!” I reply
Laughter ensues and you pull me in,
Cheek to cheek, in this moment, we’re drawn.

Must be the wine, or is it the gentlemans pride, I ponder. You pull me in more and set loose for a little twirl.  We glide across the floor
Transforming the night.

The music spins and thrills. Slow and steady, we move on the edge
Glowing under the disco’s ball , letting the shadows sway
You pause and time stands still 
A grip on the guitar
with every strum you play.
A melody adored, an echo of the past,
In your music, it binds
Time gently unwinds
In the rhythm of your grace

Mind Over Matter
The mind, a labyrinth of mystery,
A riddle for the essence of being.
Thoughts cascade, a torrent of wonder,
Ideas intertwine, forging new paths.

Guard it from  the sway of opinion,
Embrace the awe in every potential.
Never underestimate its vast greatness;
In the depths of your mind, let brilliance awaken.
Explore the corners of what’s yet to be.
Unravel the stories that linger like ghosts,
Unearth hidden treasures, the things you love most.
Unleash your greatness
Take it upon yourself to shut down any negativity flowing your way. And greatly do so by affirming joys as loud and clear as possible and watch your life flourish.

Taste the Broth
Sonia Ettyang Oct 16
In a *** of dreams, where flavors twirl and spin,
If you’re bold enough to stir, be ready for the grin.
Taste the broth, let your senses swoon,
Just don’t forget, dear Finder—lick the spoon!
Relish in your accomplishments

WHISPERS
Sonia Ettyang Oct 11
I never knew our hearts were travelers,
fated to meet in the fleeting embrace of time,
yet racing through the moments of life.
You, sat by the window,( train in motion)
one hand on the pane, eyes tracing horizons.

And there I stood, luggage in hand,
lost in the warmth of your gaze,
wondering how I missed the whispers
of destiny in the rush.

The train pulled away from the station,
a heartbeat lost in the distance.
Tell me, beloved, will our paths cross again,
or are we but shadows in the twilight,
woven together in the tapestry of dreams?

Tears On the shore
Sonia Ettyang Oct 10
But darling, I cried as I watched the ocean waves gently kiss the sand, each crest revealing secrets of longing and love. The salty breeze wrapped around me like a familiar embrace.

With each wave that rolled in, I felt my heart break open, the water drawing out my sorrow and returning it transformed

In that fragile moment, I understood—just as the tides ebb and flow, so too do our emotions, forever intertwined with the vastness of the world around us.
