Loyalty cannot be a compromise, It cannot be a disservice to yourself, With your relations-mother, father, siblings, child you are blood bound and will always be loyal, Everyone else is up for play. Loyalty is a give and take, It is organic and not something you have to think about, It goes when a relationship takes shape, Different from what you thought it will be. Loyalty has to be earned every single day, Though the actions you take, through the choices you make, A compromise in life is not loyalty, If you want to be authentic, be loyal to yourself, And that would be a beauty.

Loyalty
She was only 14, Things she knew and felt and did not say. The mum was carried away. By a man not her own, who stubbornly stayed in the zone. The father who said nothing most times, he looked away, sometimes he screamed, other times he watched with an amused face. She watched mum and dad and kept it all in. She liked the other man and was fond of him. The passive energy at home, she needed an escape. Along came a frog, dressed like a prince and whisked her away. He treated her like a princess and she found faith. Almost like her parents who worshipped her once. What she did not realise was that she was swept away and becoming weaker than strong. 4 years of her life she gave him with the parents playing their drama in the background. Mum liked her out of the way and was impressed with the pseudo prince who reminded her of the man she couldn’t have. It took 2 more years for her to walk away while she watched the prince turn into the frog he was. 6 years of her foundation she lost, but she never realised it. 6 years of what he did to her while she lost trust. She got up, brushed off the dust and began where it all left off. Did she really escape? Nope that is really where the unraveling began…

What she hides
There is so much to say before we go, Our separate ways I thank you for seeing I thank you for being I thank you for coming into my life It made me feel alive In a moment it was gone I have been torn The intensity I felt, I could never tell The love and devotion was my singular emotion But at some point it needs to stop Cause the irony of geometry is not lost We are parallel lines Hard to define We will never stop walking but we can never unite I will applaud you always from far away And I promise there will always be space I’ll keep you in my heart and throw the key away I’ll return to you every now and then, maybe it will fade In an alternative universe you and I would unite and be unstoppable and fight for each other and always be on the same side In this life it isn’t meant to be, maybe we’ll meet again on the next flight. I’ll love you always and keep the light

Before we go
It’s very visual in my mind, The place where you go to hide. The place where you recess to process, To separate and take a break. It’s a glass dome made with glass very very thick, In the middle of a forest, Where I exist. It’s a place I cannot breach, It’s a place where I stand and try to reach. I bang on the dome, I stand out and cry, But you are absorbed in your own reveries. I try to throw stones to get your attention, but you are not even aware of my existence, Then I turn and walk away. Because there is no reaching you today. I’ll come back again tomorrow and maybe you would’ve broken free of the glass dome that blocks what you should see.

The glass dome
My mind is a place Where worlds collide It’s a place where evil and good both reside It’s a place of what ifs and a place with cul de sacs It’s a place of beauty, hope, idealism, mental derision, fantasies and realms of possibilities. It’s a place where I live, And think there is so much to give.

Musings of the mind
We flounder and we fall, We learn and then we stand tall. In 2025 we took huge leaps of faith. We burned what was old, And set ourselves on a path to find gold. We rebuilt our selves, New identities, Brushed off the dust, Of what no longer serves us. Let’s reset and find sunshine, Let’s slowdown and not be swept in the rush, Let’s toast to what’s beyond, And smile and celebrate what is already ours.

Onwards and upwards
Make beauty with your pain, Create-turn it into light, Make it something bright, Each, a story to be told. Pour yourself and your life into creating, Be it poetry or objects or art, Begin at the start, Never stop, It’s your life, Fight, Fight through the pain, The best minds are born then. When it’s raw, Let it drive you, Push harder when it hurts the most. It’ll heal, And add gleam, And hope to you and those around you, Turn it into a trophy of your love and all you feel.

Catharsis
Sometimes time runs, Sometimes it stands still, Sometimes it moves, sometimes it wilts. Is there peace in the stillness or you see it all? You ponder how it might end You will stand or you will fall Will you be content or regret Who knows what it might be You wish you could see that far You wish you would know before the end starts You see yourself a certain way Will it be that or will it be some other way The yellow dress, The water The radiance Is it in my mind? Or I walk towards it to make it mine? Does every step count Or is it just passing time Should you pivot and accept That fate is not yours Or should you push to "manifest" You want it ALL You want it call out to you like you pine for it Should you push Cause that is what they call life Or should you put it to rest?

Sometimes
No beginning and no end, The storm of feelings unfelt, The storm of voices unsaid, The storm of what it would mean to touch, The storm of maybe feeling the rush. The storm of looking into the eyes, The storm of exploring the depths inside, The storm of waiting to let go, The storm that wants to ebb and flow, The storm that doesn't abate, The storm that rages behind the gates.

The storm
The juxtaposition of danger and safety, The excitement you feel with the haste, You hold back, You move forward, Cause it’s a straight line, It isn’t gray, although it may seem, It is black and white, To fulfil your desires, to bring happiness, To bring magic, to bring a wholeness to your life, You want more, you want depth, you need to connect, to get to the bottom of it, There is plenty to say, plenty to examine, Plenty in the depths of your soul, You give in… You seek the pleasure you cannot ignore… You disconnect to connect with yourself, cause you always want to be on a path to explore, You don’t want to be held back, you need to seek and find out what runs deep, Danger and safety are two sides of a coin and you realise you are water that cannot bind, You need to flow, You don’t need the ground below or a ceiling to hold you back, You were born to be free, And not live and slip through the cracks
