Apollo & Artemis

You are light, I am shadow, you are logic, I am art. You are my flesh, my blood, my heart and soul. You are myself, outside of me. We share the unshared, the memories that make us nostalgic and those that we dare not repeat.


We could read each other's minds and eyes, we can feel one another's pain like none else can. We know each other's lives like our own.

Nonetheless nature holds mysteries that none of us can resolve and which must not be defied, we are fated to part ways, no more being two petals of the same flower, side by side, together but not quiet, rather, being two flowers in different gardens, far from one another.

The love we share is a unique kind, non-physical, non-verbal, as if we're functioned to feel it.

Before life brings us to that fork, before we walk our separate ways, I want you to know that we came from the same womb, we'll go into the same earth, and in between you have always existed by my side and you will always be in my soul. 

Your hum-sheerah

"When did I meet him" you ask?

"When did I meet him" you ask?
Oh a hundred years ago; it was,
When the world was still flat
When the Sun revolved around the Earth
When the time was moving backwards 
When the seasons were not sequential
The leaves were dying down
The flowers didn't smell so good and the colours were somewhat pale
It was another world, another time, perhaps a different life
It was another land, way before times
I met him when there was little hope
And the spark was fading out
When the world was upside down and nothing made sense
That's when I met him
And then everything fell in place.
