Imagine how utterly terrifying would the whole universe be if there was a faceless clock.
Just faceless clocks.

That dictated the way earth shall be lived in the most minimalistic sense.

No hour hand, no tinks, no tick-tocks and no numbers.
That will allow us to regretfully or mercifully go on.

The gears and everything are in place.
But there is
nothing.

Just silence that will deafen your ears.
Silence that your screams cannot pierce.

Yes, that is me now.
I have no bearing, no sure sense.
Simply lost.

*Tick-tock.
Just some nonsensical writings on blank pages with Mont Blanc pen.

Today, it will slowly get better.
But, what do I do on those seemingly infinite string of time? From sunlight to dark to starry skies to complete darkness?

The forever between today and better.

How do I wait whilst my heart gets hollowed out by time itself?

There, I finally said it.

My words blindly wisp at the distilled silence.

His lips; a silent, unmoving line.

A tiny voice that does not quite sound like mine peeks out of an
e  m p t  y
s p a c e.
I knew it.

"What are we going to do with all that infinite time?"
He slowly says, as his fingertips flicks gently and draws an  ∞ on the inner corner of my wrist.

A little inward gasp widens my eyes,
a slight stirring of all my impervious places;
a wisp of an untitled something.

It's a wisp that my raw fingertips cannot touch just yet.
It is still terribly ribboned
by
the shards of time.

"Fine, I am going to make feel in such a way, you've never felt so acutely human."

My lips flicker with something very odd.
A ghost of smile slowly begins its
slow, slow dance.

Something lovely
tip-toes
into
the
creases of
my
heart.
Hihihi!
This little nonsensical is dedicated to anyone having a rough day or those days where everything is blue instead of yellow.
Slowly, lift your chin up, when you are brave enough too.
That's it!
There, you will be okay, lovely.

Let's make this Wednesday count, guys.

a)* I …like you.

b) Letters and postcards are amongst strawberry lemonade cupcakes and kisses on foreheads. You know why? Simply because to read those letters or postcards and to know that their hand once brushed the page, its warmth kissed each word. With truth leeching it into the coldness. But nevertheless, it *was
warm.  To know that each stroke, each cross out was directly from their mind and from them.
And most importantly, their heart.

That each full-stop, each comma, each word and alphabet is all yours. No one else’s.
It can't be forwarded like a blank, generic email.
The letter itself was once something of theirs
and then now its yours forever to keep.
A little piece of their time and most importantly, them.”
Amanda Nov 2013
Her words were thrown in the air.

I stood there.

I walked home.

I unlocked the door.

I stripped off my damp coat, unstrung my scarf.

I collapse and sit on the cold, cold wood floors.

As I do so, that’s when my metaphorical heart splinters into the tiniest of pieces.

Anatomically real hearts don’t break, they cannot realistically do so.

Which is precisely why this is so god-**** hard for it to heal back.

As you are fighting against a beautifully lucid and meticulously choreographed illusion.
Amanda Feb 2014
Heartbreaks are one of silence.

The Quietest.
It is when the edges of heart begin to splinter and crack under all those unspoken words that you dare not say.

It is the barely whispered wishes to starry skies that etches itself on your ribcage.
And my, etch themselves wordless they do.

How can something of fiction be so very real?
Please, tell me, how something so silent can deafen my ears.

But then again, you won't hear me.
You
cannot.
Much L-ove,
A'manda

$8.75 popcorn butter stains my fingertips sweet,
and there's salt on my lips and in my hair.

A restless hand finds yours in darkness
rudely interrupted by blue light and washes of pinks.

And I find my heart tearing itself underneath your easy smiles.
tongue-tied and shy.

"Not everything about you, sweet-heart, is weird.
A wink flits into a mind; this gorgeous upside-down moon crescent.
It does not matter, (like a comma, his fingertips said a shy hello to hers.)
if one's eyebrow is slightly more arched than the other
or
there are freckles dotting your skin
No.
Don't you ever think it is a defect.
It is not.
Please do not protest.
If you wish to go down that way, hm, then
it's
the most imperfect, lovely perfections
that has
nudged & tickled
my heart once,
twice & ∞

To finish his sentence, he kissed the tip of her nose like a full stop
.
Hi there lovely! How was your day?
Oh, *rubs eyes* I am tired. :')
Question for you, you and you: What is your absolute favourite pet name, if you have one?

These thin walls offer nothing to my ears,
I can still hear each of the crinkling and splinterings of
your paper-like heart.
Hey you! Oh yes, you lovely soul!
How are you today?
Man, I am exhausted from school and such. *-*
THUS, I shall sleep early tonight.
Pfft. :') That is definitely not happening.
Sweet dreams, y'all!

I daydream f a r  too much.

My eyes must have been kissed by the starry sky  

& ampersand &

the wispy clouds are tickling the very tip of my nose,

and
oh
yes,

I am on my tiptoes.
Hi there!

I hope *crosses fingers* that you, you and you enjoyed this little nonsensical writing!
Eeek. I get so excited and happy share these little writings. Perhaps it's the fact, I am shyly showing you bits and stitches of my heart on the other side of the earth?
Much Love,

One of the bitter-as-burnt-toast kind of things in the world is when a writer's (1) book remains empty for a time where even their clock ceased
ticking."

{She used to write in the way flowers needed a cold snap before they could bloom.}

Hello you, you & you! I have missed writing on friday nights.
I hope you are all well.

Sentimental tugs of the sunshine plays on my bare skin and white sheets,

wake up.

Today, the next and the very next will be richer than dreams.
When you unwittingly embarrass yourself in front of a person you just said Hello too.
I want to faint.
Hey you, you and you!

Let grateful, itself kiss your skin.

Let it twirl and wisp around those fingertips you can tweedle with,
to
write, draw, make unimaginable,wonderful
untitled somethings.

Slowly but surely,
that effervescent feeling bubble into your body;
sparks of bliss lighting those dark, dark oblivions.

I don't care!
Let those words
carelessly snuggle
themselves
in
the lines of your fingerprint.

Bare those pearly whites
everywhere,
sweet-heart!
How are YOU today?

This universe needs more smiles, so bare yours.

P.S I am a cheeseball/ hopeless romantic. What can I say?

Scribbles, cross-outs, dizzying cross-cross of ink adorn these pages.

linger of your lips and fingertips

With her dewy cream and roses completion,

Eyes that you could wonder for all eternity for what they see and hold.  

Lips stained with the most alluring red.

Her thick hair is braided onto the side, wispy tendrils frame her face.

A crisp white three quarter sleeved shirt and faded blue jeans cuffed just above her dainty ankles.

Just when I thought a woman has never looked so stunning.

She smiles.

And suddenly time ebbs away, it doesn’t halt suddenly. Momentum of the earth just ceases.

This is when I truly and utterly have fallen for her.

And that realisation unpauses everything that has stopped.

You cannot stop the inevitable.
Oh and I don’t plan to.
Amanda Sep 2014
Every vein and exhausted cell in my brain, ankles and lower back- my body bleeds out I hate you.
Like broken record players.

I scream: "I hate you" for making me look like the kind of monsters I would run away from.
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you

I scream louder to punctuate a full stop.
Then my voice finally cracks, perhaps making empty escapes for oxygen to come into my burning lungs.

Broken everywhere and everything.
And behind me, the sunrise was the colour of bad blood.
Hey you, you and you!
Okay, this is completely and utterly different to anything I have posted on here. It is not about tea, coffee, sugar, sweet things and little kisses.

Again, an excerpt from my narrative I wrote a few days ago!
Take care, lovely. xo

Amanda Dec 2013
I very gently carry her up.

And in the most natural motion, her arms wrap around my neck.

I feel her breath tickling the very place my voice whispers, screams, sighs, speak from.

There it is.

The very foreign feeling of being speechless.
Yet another quote between Henry & Harper who are living in the love story I am presently writing.

Tah-dah?
x
Amanda Jun 2014
I am not quite sure what to say.
My lips cannot move into the right ways to speak even the wrong words.

The edges, the pockets of my mind is terribly creased.
The dizzying criss-cross of lines and crumples
paint hopelessness
into
tears.

I miss the very susurrations your being makes,
when you were next to me.
Even on sun-dappled days,
I still feel the ghost of your shoulders & elbows nudging mine.

My collarbones still feel the lines of your lips right

                                                               ­                                    t here.
My soul miss and misses yours.
But I do know,
this is
a
void
that
will only
become
space and time
*itself.
Hello there sunshine! I hope you are having a lovely day!
Sigh, I have panda eyes, a numb brain filled with words like Alkanes, Sensorimotor Stage and Montana 1948 and oh, three exams tomorrow.
Let's do this.

They wrote

girl

in the centre of the page.

Word connotations tranfusing into veins of ink.

Pretty synonyms { eyelashes, flowers, cherries, collarbones} lilting with virtue.
A marriage between dainty and fragility.
A wink of buttery pastries & flushed cheeks.

Why the hell did it take so long to put
strong
brilliant { sun & stars }

w-o-m-a-n
{equals}
?
This was a true realisation for me. I was trying to draw a map of synonyms for the word 'girl'. Perhaps I was too sleepy, frustratingly,I thought of the most fragile things associated with the word.
We can be all things sweet, but we can also be strong.
Regardless of gender.
Yes, I mean, you.

The little buttery feelings that slips between the corners of the heart you've carelessly painted red.

Hello there lovely!
Man, have I MISSED writing. I hope you all are well.
Whatever it is, chin up and go go go!
You can do this.
I got some news for you, you and you,
a) I just did my Biology Final today.
b) I got told that I attained the position of Vice-Captain in my high school!
c) Taylor Swift's 1989 album. Sigh. *fangirls*

I saw my days in your eyes,

the flecks of gravel, a little grey cloud

a deep warmth between the hazel specks.
through rain & sunshine.
Amanda Jan 2014
Where exactly does my words go?
What happens to them in this starry, messy universe, we call home?

Sometimes, they etch themselves on the little edges of your heart.
Other times, they remain an incessant tune in someone's ear.
Its notes silently whittle away an unwanted scar.

The flitting alphabet of their voice behind your eyelids even when the dark envelopes you.
Sometimes, it fits safe and sound between the lines of your very fingerprint.

Others sink, permeate through your very skin, making a home out of you.

The artfully crafted letters, hemmed with that moment.
It lives and breathes in the sweet pockets of something we call
memory.
Hi there! x

I am rather curious to know how you wonderful writers get your inspiration from? Do tell, please! *wink*
Amanda Jan 2014
My lips have been kissed by the white lies
etched on the back of my eyelids.

Even the lulling tendrils sleep cannot blank it out.

I see it every single time the time strikes midnight.
Slowly but surely it mingles into my very fingertips.

Filling the empty space in me.
Which is everywhere.

If I said: " No, I am not cracked, bruised
and
that
my very soul hasn't been diluted by the bittersweet goodbye from your lips to mine.

White lie 1.

When your footsteps walked away, mine wasn't hesitating, cold and lost.

White lie 2.

If I said I didn't pray for rain, so my tears will meet their own.

White lie 3.

And above all,

If I ever say
" I didn't love him with every breath I have taken and will take in this universe that doesn't quite feel that starry and vast anymore."

Sweet heart, that is
white lie

.
I hope you darling readers enjoy this.

It was somewhat difficult to pen this.

To  find the right words to write or say is always somewhat challenging.

I'll hold your hand through the wizened wrinkles; even if your beautiful mind will eventually crinkle.
Crinkled & crumpled into creases too deep for sunshine to peek through.
(My fingertips will still slowly but surely fix it.)

Even when the hair tickling my bare shoulders, collarbones & necks on lazy sunday morning is no longer quite the same.

I'll be right here.
Hey hey hey! :')
Whoo. I wrote this after I discovered a strand of white in my hair.
I WAS SO SHOCKED.
I MEAN, I am not even at the age to HAVE white hair.

Anyhoo, how have you been darling readers?

Softly, her winter-bitten cheeks lifted

Out of the very edging of my eyelashes;
the little wisps of my mind

flits this pinky-promised wish.
This
childish thing                                          
                                      mingling with these balmy summery notes.

I cannot wait for those white, uncreased sheets to be infused
   with your                      
          little smirks & laughter.

For these two tea cups to ****** its wonderfully ***** of a sound to lull those lazy days to awakeness.

Your shoes right behind my foot-steps,
c r i n k ling,
creasing
snaps of autumn itself.

A peck on the nose between the gaps of our once-shy feet.
Yes, I know, I do know the title is highly contradictory and complete antonyms to one another.
But hey, isn't love like that too? ;)
Hey lovely reader!
I hope you are having a wonderful day, where-ever you are.

His lips told the stories of sleep & day-dreams.

Heavy on his tongue was a white lie.

Between the wink of his teeth was yet another.

And that is how she knows what truth tastes like.
We learn through experience, memories.
I wish you, you & you a really good day/night filled with lil surprises and wonderful things.
And if you are having a terrible day, *hugs hugs hugs*.

Then, he kissed me.
And I still feel the syllables of
"I love you"
tickling the edges of my cupid's bow.
What can I say? I watched Bridget Jone's Diary for the first time in my 16 years. And  my goodness, that kiss under the snow.
FAR OUT.
:") I was positively giddy with smiles and giggles. Till the point, there is this dull ache in my head. Uh-oh.
I hope you lovelies had a brilliant day.
Have YOU watched that movie?! If you are up for a fangirl/fanboy session, that's entirely cool with me.

Ink infuses into the depths of these blank, slightly creased pages.
Within it are little intangible but ever so omnipresent
pockets of bitter sweetness; just like fizzy,freshly squeezed lemonade
+
starry-eyed innocence x shy crimson cheeks

Dotted by moments of those cheeky upside down crescents; winks.
Strings of old time flit between dots and rusted locks.
As I read back old works in my notebook, I feel a wash of memories and forgotten memories. It's one of the most disorienting and rueful feelings.

Anyhoo, how are you doing today, lovely?
Do you have a little time?
If you do, could you please check out this link and possibly support me?

And there we were drinking in the stars,

syllables, rhyme & reason, sweet nothings
burning down
our tongues and throats;
a wisp of an inferno.

The sun rise was our full-stop.
Hihi you!
Chin up. Come on, you've got this.
(Everything else in my book is all way too blue right now. Sometimes one has to write a little yellow sunshine.)
x
Yes
Amanda Feb 2015
Yes
Slowly but surely, you crept into my dreams by the dusty backdoor.

(Situated 10 fingersteps down my left collarbone + blush of shyness, your lips pressed against flesh, blood & heartbeat.)
Hey hey hey you!
Aren't you looking utterly gorgeous?
x
To him: Thanks for making me feel safe.
Amanda Nov 2013
Eyes glowing fleet with a sweet, tender smile,
Warmth ruffles my naïve heart, a spring bloom.
Red ringlets of blush tickle for a while,
Unfurling petals whisper, panic looms.

A veil over sight all is crystal clear,
My destiny is right in front of me.
You smile, a thousand memories appear,
Each steady step, one hand; love flutters free.

A puff of white hair, which you stroke gently,
Crinkled fingertips laced, a soft glow gleams.
Your eyes slowly trace my face differently,
Clouds of shyness and a scarlet blush beams.

If this were true love, judgment speaks of lies.
My lovely fairytale has no goodbye.
Tah-dah! It is a sonnet.
Yes, I am acutely aware it doesn't precisely follow the Iambic Pentameter. ;)
Nevertheless, hope you enjoy it! x
Amanda Apr 2014
There will come a time where our inked words will eventually be etched across the doggy-eared, creased but never broken edges of our white hearts painted red.
It's the magic wisped within the silence of letters
that can truly make us a little more impervious.

A little bundle of warmth on cold, sleepless nights.

And you know, what is the best part, sweet-heart?
In the same way, the best part of sliced bread is the very middle,
warm duvet over your sleepy eyelids,
the kind of smile that "introduces you to yourself for the first time."
Or, the very fact, quotes peek-a-boo through my words. They live time after time. Through lips to another.
To one lovely soul and the next.

Those little breaths you take that feels like mint tooth-paste.

The best part is that those words are yours.
Every stroke, the deft indentations across the page,
oh, pages. (Yes, I do know you pen words at 2am then at 4 again.)

So many inexplicable things get snatched from our outstretched fingertips. Some willingly, some that we had to swallow silent good-byes.

It's ok-ay though.

These words, the ones dotting the back of your hand or the scribbles at the back of pages.
They all have your name etched & those creased memories tied like  dainty ribbons upon them.
It is entirely and utterly  
yours.
Yours in this starry universe.
Hello there sunshine!
How are you doing today?
It is so cold here in Melbourne, my hands are absolutely freezing.
Good morning/Afternoon lovely/ Good night & Sweet dreams where-ever you are!
Amanda Jan 2014
I love the way my voice sounds when I say your name.

It's like honey melding into the warm butter on toast.
Sipping water after eating mints.

Those sorts of capricious and silly feelings.

It is consuming, inextricably tangling my words when I am speaking.
Every little word slightly unhinges from its meaning and spells out yours.

Somehow you find your way into my laughter, giggles and smiles.

So, please don't say you are just a person.
Sure, you don't rule the universe.
But you sure do      d.o.t  the stars             in mine,
sweet heart.
Hi there! :')

How are you today, lovely person?
x
Amanda Jan 2014
You know the zeitgeist of a sweet, sweet memory?

I wish I could bottle it up like stardust and yellowed maps crinkled and wizened.

Like stardust, I can blow them in the same manner with dandelion puffs fluttering in the wind.

Like the creased maps will map out the way
like
constellations for my footsteps
to kiss
on
when
I am
hopeless lost.

And then, like the finest alchemy,
I can see us
again
behind my eyelids
when
I am
old and grey.

Like this one right here.
Hope you enjoy!
Yes, I am talking to you. Yes, you darling.
