I felt the earth crack beneath my feet
and I assumed the world was about to reach defeat.

But to my surprise ,
the ground began to raise and out popped a hep of soil with a seedling that began to uncoil.

Beneath the souls of my feet , new life was to upheat and as my toes begin to touch the floor I feel grounded once more.

Till I hear a crack in the clouds
And the loudest of sounds. The sky began to fall and I assumed it was the end for us all.

But to my surprise
My fear slowly dies
as the smell of fresh air soars
throw the earths opened pores
as the scent is absorbed
My body is restored
The unknown can be scary and beautiful

Seeds scattered to root
Abundantly flowering
Overgrown gardens

Sameera Krishna
I'm a white rose,
with a black shadow.
I'm the moon,
with a black mark.
I'm the poetry,
with all painful words.
I'm the sky full of scars,
My heart is filled with love,
While my mind is haunting me,
My soul is Galaxy which feels empty in space.

The King Protea
Proudly crowned by its petals
Blooms in the wildfire
Proud to be South African
The king Protea is our national flower

bla, bla, blas;
on repeat in my mind.
Not a word I can find,
completely tongue-tied:
Blabbering
bubbles
burst
into
bla, bla, blas;
on repeat in my mind.

I watched my universe expand
as my third eye opened
all from a simple realisation
Simple

nothing left to give
i ate all the bread crumps
no trace left of who i thought i was
time creeping in on me
arms wide open
im not afraid
im nothing
SO COME ON AND TAKE ME ALREADY!
soul ******
jest a shell remains
is that why you haven’t come?
HAVE I NOT EVEN DEATH TO GIVE??
