Crush: Cassandra Kulay
A crush can be embarrassing, if the feeling is unreturned.Eventually we get passed it and file it under lessons learned.To save your affection for the one who loves you;to not be crushed by your crush.And, to change your point of view;to let your feelings evaporate, like morning dew.It may be that dreams are empty and … Continue reading Crush: Cassandra Kulay
Losing Streak: Cassandra Kulay
I’ve been on a losing streak, waiting for my troubles to recede, nothing I do turns out right, I struggle to perceive it, but I can’t see the light. I’ve been dealt a bad hand, and, playing the game, has lost its luster, I feel so alone, even in the company of others. Everything is overwhelming, an assault on the senses, I … Continue reading Losing Streak: Cassandra Kulay
Criminal: Cassandra Kulay
The criminal is seductive,we all want to break the rules sometimes.They can seem so unfair.When we feel destructive,the anti-hero is there.The villain can protest what seems right and good.Can appeal to our angel and those who feel misunderstood.Society can expose us to all kinds of red tape.Bureaucracy can be so frustrating to those who most … Continue reading Criminal: Cassandra Kulay
Demise: Cassandra Kulay
The first snow turned to rain,I wonder when I’ll be happy again.The grey days remind me of loss.Death takes its toll,and I pay the cost.I remember those who have moved on,and the lonely grieving when they were gone.Depression haunts the corners of my mind.I look for signs that they are alright.I know death is a … Continue reading Demise: Cassandra Kulay
Downward Spiral: Cassandra Kulay
Sometimes you lose all sense of what is real and what has been imagined. Sometimes you can’t take care of yourself, no matter whether or not people wish you well. Sometimes you can’t stop crying for no reason and that is when all happiness seems to come from rose coloured glasses and you feel that you’ve lost yours for good. The world is moving … Continue reading Downward Spiral: Cassandra Kulay
Soul: Cassandra Kulay
Breaking the surface, a shattered mirror, looking for yourself but the shards are too difficult to match, your soul scattered over the universe, is this just one fragment of existence, one of many parallel worlds? Silence gives you time to hear the music of the spheres, harmonizing your point of view with that continuous tune, building a rapport with insight, … Continue reading Soul: Cassandra Kulay
Ennui: Cassandra Kulay
The wind whips, through the still bare trees,and, I’m haunted, by a feeling of vague unease,not still winter, but, not yet spring,dark thoughts plague me, and, uncomfortable memories.Here, stands the facts of my life,unadorned, I am sad, I’m angry, I’m even bored;with comparing what was for what it has the potential to be.I guess, that’s … Continue reading Ennui: Cassandra Kulay
Dignified: Cassandra Kulay
You act as if you’re so dignified,looking down, on the common fool,So serious, in everything you do.But, comedy is important too.Laughter heals, and sometimes reveals,the truth, you think you’re so much above,everyone, but you can’t see, our common needs unite us;and, in them, we are one.Sometimes, we bow our heads,while you hold yours up high,you … Continue reading Dignified: Cassandra Kulay
On Time: Cassandra Kulay
Time has a rhythm,like breathing, rising and falling.Special occasions calling.Diamond encrusted moments,embedded into our memory.Slow to come and fast evaporating. We’re all just getting through the day, somehow.Until days turn into weeks, turn into months, turn into seasons.Searching for the meaning,Finding new reasons to be.Inventing a narrative for ourselves that pushes us forward,or takes us … Continue reading On Time: Cassandra Kulay
