And I wish you were here
On this grey, windy day
I can almost feel
Your head on my chest
As we lie intertwined
Between tangled sheets
And together we watch
As the rain comes rolling in
I play with your hair
Splayed across your back
And plant silent kisses
Upon your brow
And together we watch
As lightning strikes the sea
We stay still
Our lives put on hold
Our hearts beating as one
On this melancholic day
And with your eyes locked on mine
We listen
To the distant rumbling of thunder
Oh how I wish you were here.

Well beneath my sarcasm
My hatred for the world
There is a different story waiting
Waiting to be told
For I am made of poetry
Of sunsets
And the moon
Of summer rain
And chocolate smell
And nights that end too soon
It's hidden well
It's out of sight
It's on you to find the key
For my fragile little world,
My dear,
Is not for everyone, you see?

Sometimes
You don't want
To be the strong one
The one that holds it all
Together
Strong, fierce and beautiful
Your every day mantra
And you are, darling.
There is no doubt.
But sometimes
You just want
To be held
And be told that everything
Will be okay
That you don't have
To conquer the world
All by yourself
That showing weakness
Can be strength

You are a mess
A sparkly, colourful mess
Like an explosion of gel pens

I wish to
wake up next to you
On a Sunday morning
Looking into your sleepy eyes
And watch a flustered smile
Appear on your beautiful face
I wish to
stand by the kitchen window
In our underwear
Sipping coffee
Listening to the endless rain
Outside
I wish to
Sit across from you
At the dinner table
With the soft light of the candles
Illuminating your features
And you telling me all about
The dream you had last night
I wish to
Take a walk
On a sunny day
Breathing the fresh air
Our hands intertwined
A light breeze playing
With your hair
I wish for
Simple things really
Nothing too much
But somehow
Looking at our lives right now
They seem so very unachievable

Our family may be but small
So if one little dove decides
it's time to go
The whole flock huddles together
Our family may be but quiet
But when the time comes
We understand each other
Without words
Our family may be broken
But old wounds
Are easily mended
By sharing the same pain
Our family might not be perfect
Or even harmonious
But our love for each other
Can overcome anything

She didn't suffer
from post-trauma
There was no tremors
no shocks in her life.
The shadows that haunted her dreams
were her very own.
Eating away at her soul
Every day a little more.
And she felt shaken
for knowing that so many
were suffering through
so much worse.
Her demons were self-made.
Keeping her awake at night.
Laughing at that deep sadness
that infiltrated her heart.
While she loved all things bright and beautiful.
The world inside her head
was a darker place.
That tender soul
suffered
"I'm okay"
She'd say
When someone noticed
the shadows flitting across her face
She wasn't ready to share her demons.
Not when others needed strength instead.

I don't want to know.
How many women have been in your bed.
Or how many mistakes you've made.
I don't want to hear.
That you are a disaster waiting to happen
And how you will end up hurting me.
Because in the end we all have our pasts.
We've all made our mistakes.
I'm trying hard.
Not to turn this into more than it is
Not to overthink.
I really don't want to care.
But I feel like I should.

And in these moments you get a short glimpse of what life is about.
Inbetween that "not-yet-tipsy"
and the "not-sober-anymore" feeling
Enjoying watching others enjoying themselves
The music is not loud enough to drown out the noise in your head but too loud to keep a conversation going with your neighbour.
You know none of this is forever.
And that you mean it when you say, I don't care what the past was like or what the future will be.
You're there in this moment
Smiling subtly to yourself
Because you are
And everyone around you is

A kiss
Such a small gesture
Lips touching each other
tender
and fierce
melting together
and teeth clashing
Such a small gesture
So much meaning
Good morning
and Goodbye
I love you
and I'm sorry
Full of longing
and fear
Rendering words
unnecessary
A kiss
Just a moment in time
With so much meaning.
