The day cradles Night to sleep,
For even the stars need to rest.
So sleep, seraphic beauty,
You've long endured life’s test.

~
For everyone going through a tough time,
You are more than enough
Rolling in time
Strolling along the beat
Don’t know what will come  
All I know I have to hum
To the heat
Storms will pass
I know, I know
What will become?
Rolling in time
Strolling to the beat
Staying out of the heat
Loving each day
Trying to make my way
Everyone rides a storm
You will get out
Strolling along the beat
Don’t take the heat
Storms of life

“Try and be patient,
Have plenty of hobbies,
Keep your friends,
We do need them
Even if we don’t always think the same as them,
Be happy -
Even if you have to work at it”
Wise words of advice from my mum who sadly is no longer here 🥰
Outside my window,
planted is a fiery red-
branched tree,
I watch on, it stands bold
and oh so elegantly.
I try to imagine if it were a woman
What would her appearance be —

Would she be in one of Dali’s paintings
‘Woman Aflame’?
Would she be ‘Demelza’ in Poldark’s series?
Or would she be a spirit woman
ablaze for all the world to see,
Your creation and Your infinite beauty?
People are dynamic.
Give them time,
And they will change.

So isn't it just a shame,
That we give them such static names?


My dear, look at how much you've changed!
And yet, you still go by the same old name.
Why not switch to something more fitting?

How about we reintroduce ourselves,
With names that truly reflect our current states?

That's right, my dear.
You can call me killer,
And I will call you dead.

Keep on
Fellow poets!
Keep on
Shouting your pain
Putting a voice to your trauma
Releasing that unspoken part of you
That is crying to be heard
Crying to released
Out into the void
For there is power in sharing your truth
To show the way
And give permission
For others to release theirs too
I talked with the new moon tonight,
And asked: - How fast,
How slow
The seasons come and go,
The birds migrate, the grass is getting dry,
And not be late
In life,
In death,
At birth, how loud do we have to shout?
How long to stay?
And wait,
And count,
How slow, how fast we have to love,
And get a glimpse of quicksand,
A touch of a tear
When wrapped arms melt in waves,
How many steps?
The ocean, lying at your feet
Begging for your embrace,
How slow the clouds go, or
                                                         Stay
Still,
How long the gaze,
How slow the breath
One language connects the world

Two languages create confusion

Multiple languages lead to war.
