i am really not feeling capital letters today. apologies. it's not my usual style, but there's something about their properness that is annoying me right now. also, i have been writing too many "factual", "empirical evidence"-based, "methodical" and carefully constructed argumentative essays...bas-khalas-enough, i say.
Crime Scene Investigation
a cardboard cutout of you
placed on the ground.
grab a fat white stick of chalk and
slowly-carefully-painstakingly
trace around the edges.
the skin of your thumb
pinched, just so you bleed a little.
seal the exact hue and
rapidly-carelessly-haphazardly
splash colour where your heart lies.
i'd love to recapture that moment.
when you fell in love
Train ride home
you and i.
secret lies.
how could we be so right and so wrong.
Trip
i'm sending a tub your way.
full of soft-serve memories
and rainbow-sprinkles.
i'm sending bubbles your way.
full of whispered words
and hummed songs.
i'm sending a cloud your way.
full of monsoon rain
and rose-coloured veils.
i'm sending pieces your way.

obviously we need to talk...soon! i miss you and your beautiful soul!
why obama? don't get me wrong. I have no affinities towards any of the candidates. i don't really like any politicians for that matter. but I know how important these elections are for the whole world and I don't wholly trust the media's information because they tend to be biased whether they like to admit it or not and we just don't get the whole story all the time so just curious to know why you choose obama.
love you,
tina
