Your lips taunt me right throughout the day
Your eyes seep unto me I cannot look away
I tie my hands so they do not go astray
For I see your face and hear your voice
And in your presence I can deny no more
No more than even my very next breath
For I dream of you
My cravings are insatiable
You have power over me.
There is no more left to say
It was only through loving you that I learnt to love myself.
It was only through giving all that I had that I learnt to take in return.
It was only by accepting what you had to give that I learnt to say thank you.
It was only.
And it still is.
It is still.
You.
Surprise chocolates on my desk for International Women’s Day!
I hold my pain as a soft, vulnerable gift and allow it to be. For everything that I am and everything I have ever been is as delicate as a bubble that has been crafted with the most extraordinary care that allows it to be, and for all of my shortcomings and failures, there is victory too, and with every breath that I take, I simply am.
I’m drowning in a pool of my own despair, the anchor has taken hold of my soul and I cannot breath I see the light above I know there is hope as I give way to a pit of dark sinking sand.
Rainbows and feathers
Hold us in their palm
Lighting a darkened sky
Saving us from harm
When my eyes are down
And sorrow fills the day
Feathers and rainbows
Brighten up the way!
I can taste you without tasting you
I can feel you without feeling you
I can hear you without listening
I can see without seeing you.
Still my flesh craves
To make you
Wholly
Mine.
What is it about you that gave you all the power to sweep in unawares and infiltrate my mind with longings and desires of you by my side?
Shy petals and rain –
Flirtatious kiss between parched
Earth and her heaven
