Black and White are twins. White is white like a snowflake, having a crystal shine. Black is black like a leather jacket, soft and silky. They both look like angels. They embrace each other strongly as dawn arrives. Black...

As Candlelight


As light dims. I strike fire to wick. Give birth to candle light. Which shall guide my night. A week past, I laid claim too potential. Now, I face my short future. Revealed by sad eyes. As my potential past. I have...

Liar

Its about lies that slowly reveal themselves as time passes and the damages they cause. It was inspired by the lies people in power feed to us and the permanent damage they cause.
