Dedication

This collection is for you, the people who have inspired me along my journey, and enabled me to create the content that you are about to see.

My family members, whom had always been supportive of my passion;

My friends, whom made this possible, because without any of you, there would be no content;

My dearest person, whom had touched my heart and gave me the confidence to make this dream a reality.

Beauty

Mirror mirror on the wall,

Who’s the prettiest of them all?

Wise mirror whispers back,

Does looks matter that much after all?

Question lingers around in our ears,

Though we may not want to hear.

Looks, up to a point, are important to us,

Admittedly or not, it’s somewhat important to us.

We care for looks, but it’s not all we do,

We look back at our inner beauty too.

Reflection hanging inside the glass mirror,

Shadowing nothing of the inner character.

That’s where our true beauty lies,

In the inner self of our kind.

Make ups and what not can’t possibly mask,

All the ugliness in the inner crust.

But looking at the reflection we realise,

That to mask up the scars, is to change ourselves.

Change to be a better person inside,

Little by little, ugliness turns into beauty itself.

Take a mirror, take a good look at yourself.

Ugly or not, doesn’t really matter at all,

For true beauty is what we will eventually see,

And you appear to be the most beautiful person to me.

True Colours

Colours, some bright and cheery, while others gloomy.

To each has their own representation and meanings.

Colours, may also reflect one’s aura

Reflecting the true nature within the Pandora.

At first glance, one can appear bright,

But after some time, suddenly less radiant.

This we refer to, as the often heard true colours,

Sometimes painful, yet still often wonderful.

Initially you appear white to me,

Perfectly normal balance, of all colours within,

Spinning in harmony, creating what appears white,

But as I look further within, it shines more than white.

True colours such as yours,

Resembling a rainbow of sorts,

But more to it, for it is no illusion,

Just the pure radiance, of the aura within.

Resonating with others of the same kind,

The faint radiant glow, growing steadily dazzling.

Even those gloomy dark colours, such as mine,

Begin to look radiant, under your guiding lights.

Seed of Hope

What is this that I see,

In the midst of my despair?

A faint glow in the far horizon,

Fluttering away as if reaching out,

Beckoning me to chase.

What is this that I see?

A light getting brighter,

Sprouting at the edge of misery,

Slowly taking root,

As if hinting something to me.

What is this that I see?

A flash getting closer,

Budding out from the storm,

Standing firmly in the ravage,

As if telling me not to give in.

What is this that I see?

A radiant beam
