Monokuro Boo

You speak as if I'm a paper doll. You define my facade with the point of your pen. You clothe me with such chromatic thoughts. You fold me to whatever form you prefer. And then you smile, to see such physique you have beautifully crafted with your words, with your thoughts.

And you see a curl from my lips, seemingly forming a smile. Yet, it is not what you perceive. I am not smiling back at you.

Perhaps, the day will come that I shall, when you perceive is other than my physique. When you have conceived that I am a soul, not just a PRETTY PAPER DOLL.

Love Story



Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, 
Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love. One day it was announced
to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.


Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was 
almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a 
grand boat. Love said “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, 
“No, I can’t. There is a lot of silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”


Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity,
please help me!” “I can’t help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,
” Vanity answered.


Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, “Sadness, let me go with you.”
“Oh….Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself.”


Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even 
hear when Love called her!


Suddenly there was a voice, “Come Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love felt 
so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they
arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.


Love realizing how much he owed the elder, asked Knowledge, another elder. “Who
helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why 
did Time help me?” Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,
“Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”
