Flying Kites

Posted on Apr 11, 2022 by Ilakkiyaa

At times, I feel like I might be going a little mad.

Sanity hangs by a thread, entwined in my fingers, and I watch it wave and dance in the wind, enticing me to let go.

Ember

Posted on Jan 22, 2022Feb 4, 2022 by Ilakkiyaa
Perhaps you'll forever remain 
A glowing ember
In my heart;
A bit of warmth,
A touch of hope,
A fleeting flame for pensive nights.

Pathways of The Mind

Why is it

That every place

And every space

Twists and turns,

Interlinks

And leads me back to you?

Someone I Knew Died The Day Before

Posted on Sep 22, 2021Feb 4, 2022 by Ilakkiyaa

Someone I knew died the day before.

Someone I knew
Briefly, for a day,
Died,
Quietly, of age, at peace,

The Wait

Posted on Apr 19, 2021Feb 5, 2022 by Ilakkiyaa

Not guide your feet;

Did the warmth of my embrace

Not leave a trace?

Staying Sane, Staying Light

Every time I am done with a large deadline, I feel an enormous wave of calm wash over me, as if all my worries were over for the rest of my life. Of course, I am well aware that they are not, but somehow my brain shuts down negativity and allows myself to indulge in […]

Sustenance

Today is marked by light. I’ve often wondered about the denial one sees in addicts. I’ve seen it in my father who’d always proclaim his ability to stop drinking if he wished to; how it wasn’t something that controlled him.

Surviving on Oxytocin

I checked with my neurologist husband and even he couldn’t verify how true it was. That post about hacking happy hormones. How endorphins are evoked through exercise or laughter, dopamine through finishing tasks, oxytocin through hugs or pets and serotonin through meditation. But it felt right to me somehow. In any case, I’m running low […]

What They Don’t Tell You About Happily Ever After – The Romantic Messages edition

Disclaimer: This probably is not as hilarious as it’s in my head. Proceed cautiously and flee as necessary. Oh, and the picture has nothing to do with the post; I just thought it made for an interesting array of geometric shapes.

Infinite

I didn’t have enough words in me to capture that moment. So I wondered, why not capture it as it is. One of those rare moments of clarity when the world falls away and all that remains is a feeling of silent awe of being here, in the present moment, as part of something infinite.
