Love & Lost

“I hold it true, whate’er befall;I feel it, when I sorrow most;‘Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all.”-Alfred Lord Tennyson Months ago, I was once told by a person of interest that she simply couldn’t go forward with dating anymore in general because she had gotten word from one

Serein Revisited

Serein was her name. It was gifted to her by whispers of the autumn winds… The voices whistled through the rigid and sharpened exteriors of the evergreen trees… Their physical features could only hold secrets of life between the seasons, you must walk within the forrest to listen. What were the winds telling us? The

I Surrender

I surrender… Like the sands of time equilibrate, succumbing to gravity.  Filling my head with intangible things.   Like memories. The kind that perpetuates creativity… Inspire me like daffodil petals separate and blown in the wind. Shhhh Autumn leaves steeped in the saturated ground, fresh from winter greeting the springs abound… The smell of rain

Visionary

I’m a visionary,My true calling is loneliness.I am content.I am wholeNot in need of wanting a better half for I am better than I’ve ever been.I’ve seen my true power.My children are me…My father was a writer, as so am I.I’ve earned that right, even though I am left handed.Can never quell my creativityFor I

Reverie

Reverie I share a lot of things with my therapist.One of those things I personally tend to share the most, are the times of grief.What is the purpose of it?Why does it feel so tumultuous at times?I’d express irrational feelings saying that I wish there was a cure for it.Most of the time, I’d frame

Anxiety poem

Hi … Anxiety Episode 👋🏾 Maraschino cherry brigade, toting cannons, the size of canyons, shooting binary bullets, turning sons to granddaughters, spreading unnecessary evil like propaganda and licorice strips across the hot pavement. We are unstoppable. The devil will grant you many wishes, but it comes with a price… I can think of many things,

Gravity

Gravity The one and only thing that never lets me down. Makes me see the clarity upon situations. Enduring the sheer weight of the world upon my shoulders, they can only handle so much. I may have fallen many times, but I have risen every single time. The more cumbersome the weight, the sweeter the

Sand Castles

Sand Castles I’ve put up walls so far up to a point, that I no longer could see the apex. I can still sense and feel the warmth of sunshine, so there is still hope. You can get close to me, but not too close. For I see no point in building something that’ll one

Invisible Sun

Invisible Sun ☀️ The sun shone invisible rays across the sky. Across the vastness of infinite darkness. Soon spanned throughout our bubble of reality… So fragile and so minute. A little escape from the rain. A moment of clarity inundated our senses. Our sun are in hues of yellow. It warms us, Comforts us, Heals

Kintsugi

Flowers lay at her feet,Sunshine basqued in her hair.The flow of nature goes hand in hand with time.Mother and father knows best…Her sigh has apprised the absolute truth.No lies within the cracks, just silver linings.She had been broken with such care..She celebrated with a dance in the passing winds, the directions have shifted; melancholy is

Dark Love

I will fall in love 5 years from now. Once limerence have weaned, that’s where true love begin.. Reality has settled like the most fertile of soils. A beautiful garden will rise again. She will be an idealization of my healed existence. Strongly independent, she does not need me, but she will want me. She

Tapestry

If God were to wear clothes, what materials would be used to make it?Would it be the softest of linens, or the harshest of burlap?Would it just be nothing at all…in reflection of the creation of Adam and Eve for they initially wore nothing at all…They have partaken the forbidden fruit; in which it conceived

Blue Dragon

Dragon flies, Fire fruit and Burning Incense Were strewn across the rustic table like morbid ornaments. Burning paper of embers evanesce into the air like the pages of the forbidden book of spells..Transparent glass like wings, divided by intricate veins and organic lines, reminding me that it once was a living creature.It had lived a

Tears of Joy

Tears of joy… Can the trails of my tears surpass the deepened depths of my soul? Dug in deep into the soil of forgiveness. Propagate the growth of openness of trust again… They fall as they may into a downward spiral, of the ever churning waters. I’m left dry for I have no more sorrow

Life Itself..

Serein has taught me a valuable lesson today about life. The very purpose of life is to simply enjoy the growth and progress resulting in care.It isn’t healthy to dwell on the question of “what went wrong?” or “What could’ve been done to change the outcome?” Truth is, life is about learning, growing, not repeating

Watercolors

Watercolors We see the same things Uncertainties abound Rains of crystals fall among us Our love story unabridged with only subtle callings for grace… I understood you without speaking Your lyrics are lovely.. As beautiful as the songs of the birds made from paper mache, from innocent children. As we sore into the heavens, we

Serein Evergreen

🌲 Serein is her name;it was given to her by the whispers of the autumn winds. The voices whistled through the exteriors of the evergreen trees… Only their stoic prominences could hold secrets of life between the seasons, in order to listen, you must walk within the forrest. What were the winds telling us? Only

Gaza Revisited

Desperation“Speak softly and carry a big stick.”~Theodore Rosevelt. He was facing East, he was searching for all the answers; on his knees, uncomfortably on the jagged sharp edges of gigantic pieces of a once existed edifice. A desperate father cried out his children’s names towards the sound absorbing hardened dust, only greeted with the memories

Self Reflection

I exist solely between two planes of glass. My imagery is impeccable as it shows your flaws and frailties… there’s cracks in the mirror. A direct reflection of all the things I wanted to be, all the beautiful things I wanted to see, and all the sensations I wanted to feel. I wanted to be

Be Patient

If you truly love somebody, give them their independence. And if they love you freely it’s because they choose to love you, and that’s real love.Codependency and control has nothing to do with love. It only feeds into the insecurities, satiates the ego; propagating an atmosphere equipped with eggshells, second guesses and guilt.The universe isn’t

The Yearn

The yearn… I am accepting that when myNeeds and standards aren’t met, I will fade. I know this much to continue to do self care and invest in myself. The wane of my current situation is inevitable and I will be internally prompted to be drawn to elements that will be beneficial to me. Feed
