Petal Rain
It still fascinates me how such an unforgiving winter could so easily become just a chilly spring. It is fascinating thinking about how different everything would be if the person whom you are longing for was next to you, walking along with you in the rain. That same rain which once was just bad weather feeding your sorrow. Even though it may be just a passing moment, your sadness, somehow, gets enough time to become happiness. The rain? It becomes sunshine. The cold wind becomes warmth, and the person that you are so happy with becomes that winter’s cherry blossom.

Winter
The wind blows sharply. Whistling as it chases an invisible prey. Trailing behind the wind, comes a soft icy blanket. The trees are naked,

One Fluttering and Full Beast
I’ll meet you there, under the setting sun, where fiery splashes of light melt into shades of deep purple - day and night are blurred.

Leigh-On-Sea
A small fishing boat cuts through the calm of the emerald tinted water of the Thames Estuary, frothy white waves spill away from the vessel as it gently heads toward the fishmongers, patiently waiting on the marina for the days catch.
