6/12/2018 0 Comments writing, like love & musicWriting, like love and music, needs to be mixed and mastered, revisited and edited… carefully considered. It takes practice, but it should be comfortable for the reader, listener or lover, and easy to digest. The process of creating and the end result should be treasured and adored, celebrated and remembered.
Love is the feeling found in beautiful song lyrics, melodies, and in lines of poetry. It’s the peaceful moment the sun filters through a window and illuminates a room, when moonlight glimmers on cold water at midnight, and when flowers bloom. It’s words on a page that capture something invisible, yet known. When writing melts its way into the reader’s soul, the message spreads quickly, bright white and sparkling. It unlocks doors that you didn’t even know were shut, with keys you’ve never seen before. It reveals the clues your heart has been yearning to give you and whispers answers that, deep down, you already knew. Words can give pleasure in the same way two bodies together feel bliss under warm, soapy water, or when under clean sheets fingers and eyes interlock, and knowing smiles meet in a soft kiss. There’s no definite path in life, love or in a piece of writing, just a series of decisions. We build our futures each day, often without any awareness. So be conscious, always. Choose your words carefully. There are many crossroads and new chapters coming — pages are always turning, you see. There’s no true ‘meant to be’, no perfect way of phrasing something. Just writers that try their best and lovers that chose each other daily — you just need the right message, the right chemistry. Like a good book, true love stays with you, even if the person leaves. It sits close by you each night as you sleep and dream, external yet part of who you are, simply for being read.

6/12/2018 0 Comments FLOAT UP HIGHSo I float up high and fly,
Into the ice blue light, Of the sky. My dreams float, On thick, beautiful clouds, Lit up by the Sun With a lemon to white light– Ever changing, yet the same. A divine breath inhales, And exhales in a whisper. The clouds move forwards, Twisting and twirling, Like incense smoke rising, Or ink bleeding in water. They form shapes Of the people I love, And am yet to love, And they show I am here To break open hearts, With jagged lightening, And deafening thunder cracks, That make you want To cover your ears, And run inside. Yet slowly, you return, Walking out onto the damp grass, Fascinated by the brilliant beams Behind dark storm clouds. Ready to be soothed by the warm, soft rain That now comes down fast and hard. Raindrops that feel good As they run down your nose, And land on your lips. You smile to yourself, Realising. You are actually are ready. Ready to be held and made safe, The way I need to be. And I too break myself open, To understand that the Invisible walls I fly into Are protective shields, I built myself. In fear of failure. I made them from hurt and love, Fear and joy. An idealist, Who wants nothing more Than your happiness– For you to feel enough. Because secretly That’s all I desire For myself 6/12/2018 0 Comments FIRE, WATER & AIRMaybe I'll learn
By fire first. Burn myself on the flames And create a thirst To discover myself Through water. Flowing through life, Following the current Of my own beliefs And surrendering To the raging river All the while, Singing a song, Humming a lullaby That says Darling, don't worry - You belong. Be patient And have blind faith In the love That holds up The silver Moon above. Take a deep breath And say sweet dreams To the bright North Star You'll know exactly who And where you are If you know yourself At last, Through air. 6/12/2018 0 Comments i MISS YOU TODAYI miss you today
And the way Our hearts played. The way our souls kissed, The love and the bliss We felt Before pain was dealt. The care that was there Beneath the mud. My heart thuds. I ache and sting sweetly Wishing you were near me. 6/12/2018 0 Comments THIS TOO SHALL PASSThis too shall pass
Whispered the wind As it pursed it's lips And blew a kiss. 6/12/2018 0 Comments YOU LEFT MY WORLDYou left my world under the bright snow moon, and it hit me like a comet. The day you fell asleep, I fell apart. Pieces of me flew up into the night sky with you, not wanting you to go. I wasn't ready, but I know you were. As we travelled up higher and higher you told me, "Be strong, you have to go back." I burst into rain and fell back to Earth, watering the flowers of your garden. Then I watched as you defied gravity and floated, peacefully, up and up, smiling as you saw the beloved faces of the people you had missed so much. You became one with the stars that had always twinkled in your eyes, and I felt much, much less than before.
6/12/2018 0 Comments SHARED PAINI have so much poetry in me
It hurts. So many feelings To keep afloat. Fear is here And though I roar, It builds and stings My heart Once more. Reliving pain My own - and yours*. *Shared pain of women. 6/12/2018 0 Comments strengthLearning to swim
Up and out Of the black lake Of sadness Takes strength. It would be easier To sink to the bottom And drown. Learning to lick Your wounds Each time They crack open And bleed Takes strength. It’s tempting to Rub in salt. Keeping calm Every instance A sharp memory Rises up To pierce your peace Takes strength. Learning to raise Your vibration From heavy darkness To buoyant light Is a daily practise That takes So Much Strength, When fear is more familiar. Choosing to feel love And spend time In joy Takes strength. Pausing To breathe out pain And inhale appreciation Takes strength. It takes bravery to feel What’s real And choose something better. Painting your emotions With the intention Of accepting pleasure Amidst bad weather. This Takes Strength. Moving your body And wearing a smile That feels fake Until it reaches your eyes And becomes real Takes strength. Having faith in the infinite love That holds up the silver Moon above And listening to the whispers Of ancient intuition Takes strength. But when you rise victorious And meet the bliss You’ve been missing You’ll know this madness Has been questioning your mettle And you’ve passed every test. Made every whimper Matter. Because now you can Reach down into the water And offer a hand To the drowning girl. You can make each rise To the surface That little bit easier. Knowing you can rescue yourself - Or help another. That is strength. 6/12/2018 0 Comments Ocean of emotionSometimes it feels like
I have to process the ocean To soothe my emotions. Standing in front of a wave That crashes On repeat, I wait to meet The future version Of myself That feels better. Truly better. This beautiful weather Doesn't reflect How I feel inside - There's a drop of water For every heartbeat That pulses with pain. The sand beneath my feet Knows I'm here And tells me I'm where I need to be. So I cry tears into the water Hoping my blood will cool, Please, soon. I try to feel, not to think And I realise As I blink That the person I'm truly missing The most Is me. The happy girl I was Before each loss Before my heart shattered And I lost almost everything That I love. - Written in Bali November 2017 |
