I thank God for all the good times and seek his forgiveness for all those moments of life where I might barely survived without his blessing. I like the new me. I like the new colours in my personality. […]

How do you define love?

for me, love is the shine of child’s eye when he sees his parents, Love is the act of a person praying for someone they once had connect, Love is the different colors of rainbow in the sky, Love is the excitement to meet your friends and family after a long time, Love is playing […]

Dear life

let’s be friends again,I suffered a lot when trying to handle everything alone,I felt an emptiness inside of me, was scared of darkness as it was so mean,I turned my back on you, hid in the arms of despair,I run far to look ahead of me, only to found myself in the mirror of the […]

Floating stick

In the night full of starsI waited for you for hoursI forget to recap that you were blindAs falling for the wrong one was your crime. I now honored your mistake as I learn not to put myself at stake,I forgave and forgot what you did.I learned to move on as a floating stick. ©Arooba

Give Priority to Yourself

People leave without any valid reason, or sometimes they gave vague excuses. You want them to stay for a moment. You try so hard to make them believe you are right for them that you forget your own existence. They made you believe ” You are Ordinary” when you made them your priority. This cycle […]

The other day, you asked who I’m to you?I remained quiet for a while and then smiled at my thoughts,How can I explain this to you? You are what rose is to garden,You are what rain is to sky and stars to the moon,Your colors brighten my sky like colorful kites on dark blue sky,Your […]

I’m thinking out loud

Maybe you were busy, Maybe I annoyed you, Maybe we came too close, That’s how I started to suffocate you.                                                              Maybe you felt darkness inside me,                                                              Maybe your demon liked to be hidden,                                                              That’s why you made me feel unwanted. Maybe the distance you created was unintentional, Maybe you didn’t experience it […]

Love: Reflection of your priority

It’s not a whole truth nor a lie,Love fades away o my dear, you can’t deny,With time, you met new people,It transfers when you mingle,Thou, the intensity of love may defer,But again, it depends on what a person prefers,Changing priorities takes no time as, the wise say,Loving someone sheds away over time,Being called materialistic is […]

Reminiscent love

In the darkness of night, I saw you whispering my name, when in the bright sunshine you clearly warned me to “Stay away” In the silence of the forest, I heard you often ask about me, when in the creeping of birds you told me you don’t care about me at all, In the crowd […]
