BAND-AID MY HEART

BAND-AID MY HEART

BAND-AIDS

Band-aids . ..
Like relationships . .
Are necessary for all wound healing.

Their cohesiveness sticks
Like a second skin to a wound.
It shelters and protects the afflicted.

But there comes a time when . . .
Either the treatment rendered is finished
Or the wound needs air to breathe to heal.

. . . . So, you ask yourself . . . .

Band-aid . .
Do I rip you off quickly?
Or slowly?

The latter is still equally as painful
While giving a false sense
Of protection.

The sting is essentially the same.
The aftermath leaves you with
Black, sticky patches of where the
Band-aid
Once was. . . .

Its traces are hard to rub off your raw skin.

SUNRISE PAINTING

SUNRISE PAINTING

This is my first time posting on 20 Lines A Day. I’m excited. I’m a physician and photographer but not both at the same time. My nickname is Chell, so it just seemed natural to call my photography Chell-ebrate Photography because I love to capture life at it’s best.

Cell Phone Rose

Cell Phone Rose SBI was walking out the front door and noticed the Mr. Lincoln rose was particularly beautiful. I used my cell phone to snap a pic. The water droplets didn’t come through as crisp as I would have liked…you can see the sheen of the droplets. This rose is a fragrant reminder of my mom’s love of roses. First generated in 1964, the rose was transplanted from my folk’s house after their deaths and the sale of their home.

Let’s Take A Walk Around My Neighbourhood

View from my living room. I live by the sea near East Coast Park in Singapore.

The sky from my kitchen window and clothes hanging to dry in weird places.

The sheltered pathway leading out of each block.

Coconut trees between my block and the next.

The car park that was completed only recently. That blue car is a taxi.

One of two playgrounds I frequently walk past.

The largest grocery retailer in Singapore.
