Poem: Future Dear One

-
I crave your love, I crave you now
but I patiently wait for you to show up. 
I trust the sky, the universe and the stars, 
I trust them fully to show me where you are. 

I don't despair, I do not cry,
I trust the divine timing of my life;
I thought I'd found you many, many times; 
I smiled, I thanked but it was not you, dear one. 

One day you'll show up and it will just feel right;
Not to complete me, not to save me 
But to walk right by my side, 
Hand in hand, love all around. 
...

One day you showed up
And there was love all around.

Breathe

-
It all started with the breath; the intake of air that filled our lungs and gave us life; the magical inhale and exhale that allowed us to embrace our existence on this earth. 'Just' air. We left the safety of water and cried because we were ripped from our ever-flowing home but, soon enough, we learnt that there was another element that gave us life and allowed us to be: air, the ethereal vehicle for our waking and being.  We’ve been breathing since the moment we were born and that is the only thing that distinguishes the dead from the living; breathing, being, the beautiful existence on this earth plane. Oftentimes, we take our breath for granted and forget its life-giving force; we forget that if we don’t fully breathe, then we are not truly living. Us, human beings, sometimes forget to wholly, deeply, lovingly breathe and, as a result, we feel constricted by life. The lack of air makes us feel trapped, claustrophobic and, at points, lost. Well, at least that’s how I have f...

Poem: If I Were to Die Young

If I were to die young, I’d be grateful for the whole of my life: The pains, the scars, the blessings in disguise; The ups, the downs and the shades all around. I’d be grateful for the smiles, the hugs and the laughs, The rainbows, the sun and magical dragonflies. If I were to die young, I’d look at the sky, I’d admire the hues of Blue, pink, and yellow one more time; I’d dance, skip and twirl around, Worry about nothing and marvel at this life. If I were to die young, I wouldn’t ask the universe ‘why?’, I’d trust in the perfect timing of this stunning, unique and blessed life; I’d say my goodbyes if allowed to do that And hug you all tight, tighter than tight. If I were to die young, I’d be proud and grateful that I’ve tried, Tried to learn, to grow, to love; Tried to help to make this world A warmer shade of bright. If I were to die young I’d melt into the sky, I’d play with...

Raw Anxiety Poem: My Demons with Myself

-
Image
I am used to sharing my demons with myself,  To not let them trouble anybody else;  I'm used to restraining them from jumping on people around And used to chatting to them at night.  I am used to hiding them behind the ‘ I’m okay ’ Not to ‘inconvenience’ people Or make them run away.  I know it’s not healthy, I know it's not great So for a long time I’ve deliberately worked On letting them see the light of day, No longer hiding them behind the ‘ All is well .’  It  is  hard work to deal with them, To negotiate, to give and take; To dance, to talk, to play with them.  Sometimes they’ll hide themselves For months on end,  I’ll breathe easily and forget our affairs.  Eventually though, They’ll come out and tear my head, They’ll unapologetically jump all around, scream away And state it’s that time again. They’ll never mean to hurt me though  But will always be that way Until I learn ...
