When does your heart skip a beat?

For a romantic,  
It could be that heart-stealing smile  
Or that mirror-shattering gaze from their lover.  

For a nature lover,  
It could be a breathtaking sunset  
Or the miraculous unveiling of nature’s wonders,  
Rekindling their love for creation once again.  

For a music lover,  
It could be the haunting melody  
Of a favorite song  
Or the soul-caressing voice of their beloved singer.  


For a dancer,  
This may not sit well—  
For they would never want to miss a beat in reality!  
(Lol!)  

To a physician,  
This might mean serious business—  
Arrhythmias, irregular heartbeats—  
A true cause for concern.  


To a woman who has conceived,  
That first rhythmic flutter of a tiny heart  
Can make her own skip a beat,  
Leaping with boundless joy.  

To a die-hard fan,  
The first glimpse of their idol,  
So close they turn to stone,  
Could be their heart-skipping moment!  

To a student awaiting exam results,  
The first flash of their marks on the screen  
Makes the poor heart hop, skip, jump—  
And maybe even freeze.  

No matter the reason,  
As long as something in life  
Touches your heart,   
Gives it that little jolt,  
You are living!  
You are alive and kicking!  


Revel in the beauty of these fleeting moments,  
The experiences they bring,  
The lessons they impart.  
For it is in these moments  
That life plays its unscripted melody—  
Pauses and crescendos, silences and bursts—  
A rhythm that is uniquely yours.  


So, the next time  
Your heart skips a beat,  
Just smile, listen, and say to yourself—  
I am the music. I am the dance.
I am alive and kicking!

From Dusk Till Dawn

It was just another night at Westin’s Colony, a residential area comprising around fifty houses, nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the town. People lay awake on their beds, some reading, some watching television, some tucking their little ones in bed and shushing them to sleep, and some casting occasional glances at the bedroom window that faced the street. In some time, a sharp noise, accompanied by a shrilly voice, was heard all over the neighbourhood, “Clang! Clang! Clang! Ayo Goka!” And strangely, like clockwork, the lights went out, the sounds died down, and a blanket of silence descended over the locality. Sebu’s footsteps echoed softly on the pavement as he moved through the colony. The chilly night air wrapped around him like a familiar blanket, and the rhythmic tap of his bamboo stick against the metal gates became the neighborhood’s lullaby. A tall, lanky figure, clad in a beige uniform and a heavy jacket, strolled the streets with a bamboo stick in hand....

Not a Pleaser!

Oh, please! Stop.   I'm done—   I’m done with your empty words.   Your praises,   I shan't sing,   Your petty ego,   I shan't fuel.   Let’s face it—   The truth,   The bitter, hard truth.   No more sweeping   Under the carpet.   You’re not even half the person   You claim to be.   Narcissistic, pompous,   Retarded and cold,   Self-centered, self-obsessed.   Through your eyes,   I will no longer look—   Not at myself,   But at the shadow you tried to cast.   For I am ME.   My self-image is no longer dictated   By your toxic beliefs.   That’s enough of your gaslighting, mate.   Let’s call it quits.   Your relentless gloating,   I won’t hear it—   You’re an empty vessel, ...

To all the heroes every child’s first, yet so often unsung here’s to celebrating YOU. For all that you’ve done, for all that you do, for simply being there... for just being you. Quietly staying in the shadows, away from the limelight, away from the noise being the silver lining behind every dark cloud, holding back tears, spreading warmth, and reminding us of the light when all we see is dark. Here’s to celebrating this incredible human we’re lucky enough to call, DAD. Happy Father’s Day! — AeVey J ________________________________________ Author's Note: The Wayfarer Lamps  - A Father’s Day Tribute by AeVey J Fatherhood is often the quieter story, the one without grand declarations, but filled with steady love and silent sacrifices. This piece is for those men who don’t seek applause, yet shape our worlds with quiet grace. If you’re reading this and thinking of someone - your father, a mentor, a father figure - share it with them. Let them know they’...
