Searching

I searched for it like an addict, In closets and dark corners, Under beds and in cabinets, When I should have been looking in comfort, Like blankets and coffee, The smell of lilacs and roses, I should have searched for it in warmth, Like fire or the sun, The feel of a soft breeze, ratherContinue reading “Searching”

Waiting

My darling, it’s been lifetimes… So, even though I lost the memories, My soul will never forget the feeling. It may take years, but I will find you in every life I live, And even through this waiting, I am always yours.

Waiting

A letter to me

Thank you. You’ve been through so much already in life, and while it is terrible to experience such pain and heartbreak, please believe me when I say, it wasn’t for nothing. All the panic, all the tears, the fear and sleepless nights, they all paved the way to where you are now. Every inch thatContinue reading “A letter to me”

Time

The most challenging thing, to me, in this life… Is time. The time it takes to do anything, is never the same Time with the ones you love is never long enough While time stands still in suffering.

Happy to

In all my life, I’ve never known such freedoms. The freedom to laugh To cry Sometimes both. The freedom to relax To live At the same time. The freedom to exist To smile And be happy doing it.

Future

I wonder how it feels How it looks How it sounds How it tastes. Will our mornings be slow and happy Our nights, warm and comforting I wonder, dear Future, what does life have in store for me?

Red

It is the freedom that brings peace, But first it brings unease, A discomfort, a nakedness. And when the vines reach to ensnare once again You can finally see the thorns, Still wet with red.

Changing of the seasons

Spring opened her eyes rather than bearing her teeth Warmer winds blowing away the ashes of winters fires • And summer rains will refresh what once was, Relief will pour down Washing away the drought of neglect • Autumns richness will bring clarity As the leaves fall to make way for new life • WhenContinue reading “Changing of the seasons”

Trigger

Everything has changed Yet, almost nothing at all. The rooms are quieter, calmer and relaxed There is space to breathe a full breath. I can close my eyes and let my shoulders drop. There is peace here. But my body tenses at the sound of every vehicle that passes by in the night. I canContinue reading “Trigger”
