Unstory: Like Wind
Life happens in fragments, not stories. It’s only when we decide that certain fragments should link together in a certain way and with certain transitions, a story is made. In that sense, we are the playwrights of our own stories in which we gather the materials (life’s fragments), we decide the progressions (the order of… Continue reading Unstory: Like Wind
My Ten Years
A morning light, A gentle breath,An unexpected sigh,A moment has drifted.These simple words,this time and place,this quietude when I think of you.It's in the dark,It's in the rain,It's in the silence after pain.A golden ray, A rain drop,A moment peace,A second chance?(Untitled, By @Annabel 2025) It's been a long time since I last posted something,… Continue reading My Ten Years

Beyond Solitude: A Journey Lived
I need my solitude. Without it, I'm groundless.A worldly dream once took it away. We talk of presence and sharing as inspiration, but sometimes that very sophistication we are told to desire is the bringer of disaster. An incurable tumor fermented in the heart. At first, I just wanted to dance, and now I can… Continue reading Beyond Solitude: A Journey Lived
Two Poppyseeds
It is true that every time I write, I want you to be near. So close and so near, I'd drop two poppyseeds in both of your eyes, one is lilac-purple, another be Christmas-red, See they grow and bloom, pollinated by my gaze, showered first in morning rain then evening breeze, Next summer, I'll come… Continue reading Two Poppyseeds
Imperfect Lover
In synchronicity, We found one another. In escaping, We were encircled by Shadows. When the dark ships move through melting shores, When storms surge tenfold flung up endless cyclones, I see again my bright ironical names in capital letters. In this shimmering, ever glowing and peace-finding voyage, Which wave on her way will stitch my… Continue reading Imperfect Lover
December Passacaglia
December is an aged nostalgic song, with ancient accents in delicate monotone, Aglow and behold weary souls with happy tears, And each note leads to cadence of mystical visions. Can you feel the beauty of heaven’s stars shine upon, with millions of velvet dreams flowing within you? Such is the grace of a tender prayer,… Continue reading December Passacaglia
Twilight Vignette
Here comes the surrender, to the rest of our days, When the fading song that lingers, can be contented with twilights’ caress, and calms the rains on my bewildered face… I am searching for the faraway Greenland of peace, where I might lie beside autumn’s demure rivercrest, dancing wild, shout in remorse and cry at… Continue reading Twilight Vignette
A Beautiful Passerby
There is the pausing silence in my prayers, and the quietness of falling leaves landing on my breath, As I reach out my limbs to be showered by earliest dawn lights, she sends me away with the coldest scorn and the gentlest breeze! Yet my feet are restlessly undisturbed, matching still, in meaningless tandem. There… Continue reading A Beautiful Passerby
Secret Garden 🪴
When the summer comes we shall meet again, my friend, For the woods are brimming in blooms and blowing fresh roses, And love is burning diamonds hanging around chestnut trees. A maiden sits along riverbanks combing her hair, it’s where I will sing to you without moment despair, And lay my aching weariness upon you… Continue reading Secret Garden 🪴
Simple Pride
Do you know the land, where the lemon-trees grow, Among darkened leaves crimson-lychees glow, A mellow wind swings from the pale blue sky, The myrtle stands mute and the oak tree high? Do you know the house, It has columns and beams, There are the hallway gleams and glittering rooms, Are those marble figures looking… Continue reading Simple Pride
Such Warmth
Outside the leaves swing in darkness and the rain drip in lyrical tandem falls chill and blessed on the flesh, I am amazed by this peace, this possibility of cease, cease the existence of past ghosts. breathing in the secluded air, I am grateful to the stars that has bestowed a story with its bright… Continue reading Such Warmth
The Trophy Child
There was a time I dreamed of walking under the rain, With sweet tenderness by my side; There was a time I dreamed of running through the mountain, With wild strikes catching up behind; I dreamed of a dream, That my smile makes me enough; I dreamed of a dream, That my tears make me… Continue reading The Trophy Child
