Only I Know

I close my eyes

When all I want is to cry

But I lost my voice

Tryna take a real breath

Sungu and His Given Tasks Part. 1

The story I am about to tell you is a tale of tragedy.

A wise man once said that there is a thin line between loving and obsessing over someone.

How do you know if your love is pure or not? Unfortunately, I don’t have an accurate answer to that question. But, I think we could learn one or two things from Sungu’s story as he tried to prove how strong and deep his love was by doing tasks given by two mighty deities.

Performing its duty

On the art of killing

Murdering beauty

The Life of the Cattle

Today is a beautiful day. Nice weather, but I questioned, is it beautiful because of the weather or the event that happened in my life lately that makes my day wonderful?

As a hardworking man, my efforts are finally paid off. I get the chance to leave the countryside because my job promotion takes me and my fiancée moving to town. I imagine a nice urban area where a life of dreams and success usually resides. It’s nice and also sad to leave this place. I will miss the fresh air once I get in town.

Hear a clunk of stuff from downstairs

Sounds so busy I wonder

Turns out it is my lover

I realize, they just ran a marathon

Calling me over to eat some croutons
