Kaleidoscope

I, I was the broken pieces of coloured glass, and,
You, you were the kaleidoscope that moved me.

He Came

"Where..were...you? Why...why did you leave?" he said. He was panting, breathing in and out. In and out. The wind blew, the leaves rustled, the water lapped at the side of the docks where we were standing. The noise of the traffic blared from the city. The crows, the sparrows and the pigeons screeched as they flapped back to their nests at the end of the day. The big, bright orange sun sunk in slow motion into the bay. I didn't see any of that, I didn't hear any of that. I didn't even feel any of that. All I could see was him. Standing in front of me. Breathing. In and out. In and out. "You left, you left me. With nothing. I... I had to come...thousands of miles. Why? Why...did..you... leave?" "You weren't mine to keep" "Okay...that. You don't get to decide that. You understand me?" I could barely nod. The giant, gaping hole that had occupied my chest for so long, was being healed, very quickly. So quickly, that it hurt. It f...

I don't do mornings...

"I don't do mornings. I drink black coffee because I can't make the regular one. I'm very, very irregular about my laundry. I don't know any roads other than the ones that go to my campus and the library and back. I eat out of food packets.

Did I mention that I don't do mornings? I'm scared of horror movies. I detest rock music. I spend an insane amount of time alternating between my laptop and my books. I like cats better than dogs. I love football, and I understand it better than most guys, and if you can't handle that... I like pineapple on my pizzas and I don't eat meat. I pray a lot, sometimes even loudly. I talk to myself, all the time. So much so that people stare. I talk a lot, in general. But I'm very shy. I drink like a fish. I don't get drunk. I will not h...

Six girls in a pickle

Katie sat down on the sofa and frowned unhappily at the side stitch marks on her thighs made by her skin-tight jeans. She poured a little bit of Japanese Cherry Blossom body lotion in her cupped palm and began rubbing them onto her legs.  Paula turned her head to look behind her and then continued to stare down the balcony. Yesterday, in a fit to get into the holiday spirit, the girls had strung little fairy lights along the balcony railings. They were gleaming red and yellow and blue and orange and green in an alternating fashion now. Paula sighed. Alexa looked up from the floor where she was sitting and cleaning out her DSLR lenses.  "What's wrong Paulie?" she asked good-naturedly. "Nothing." said Paula absentmindedly, still staring out from the balcony which overlooked a street below. It was empty. "OOH YE-AH..." Music blasted in from the kitchen where Sandrine was cooking. She stuck her head out from the kitchen door, 'I'm making a...
