Control
MawaLin Jun 2021
I keep hushing my mind.
It’s constantly threatening to spiral.

Question?
MawaLin Jan 2020
How can I wash away my sins...
when there is still dirt under my nails
from digging my own grave.

I am still waiting for you to hold my hand.

I'm still flourishing
MawaLin Dec 2018
There are parts of me that I am still learning to accept.
It's in the roots of my hair,
Embedded under my skin,
It darkness my knees,
On the bridge of my nose,
Rolls off my tongue
To the alignment of my toes.
And as I grow, they too grow with me.

I fear for myself
Thus, I fear for you.

And when you left
I overwatered all your flowers

Weapon

Her most deadliest weapon,
Is carried in her silence.

Universe
MawaLin Sep 2018
When I have grown tired
of exploring worlds,
and exhausting the stars...
I will finally find something
that will ignite the fires
of my heart,
and set ablaze
the embers of my thoughts.
I will only then abandon my solitude
to let someone in,
to roam with me
in the cosmos of my soul.

You showed me that the universe is always expanding.

Choices
MawaLin Sep 2018
My cards are on the table,
will you read
or will you fold?

Heaven
MawaLin Sep 2018
Although the journey to heaven
can be a little rocky,
at times strenuous
and even complicated.
I will learn to pace myself,
sit back and reflect,
use life's navigation...
But forgive me if I do get lost along the way...

I will continue to walk down that path,
to find myself...
and to find you.
the journey isn't easy, but will be worth it in the end-

Eve (Hawa)
MawaLin Sep 2018
she is your silken stream of thought
a delicate knot braided firmly
around your side
never to be united

"she was made from your rib"
"she was made from your rib"

The Rose
MawaLin Sep 2018
I am not the delicate petals
you admire,
Nor am I the thorns
that puncture
your skin...

Red Flag
MawaLin Sep 2018
I want you to hold me and say...
but you don’t say,
and I am angered inside.
Charged up like a bull,
you are teasing me with
your red flag
and at night...
When you reach out to empty,
It makes me feel so empty.
Your skin, on my skin
makes my skin crawl.
I want to slip into the darkness
of the comfortless night,
separate my soul from body,
peep in through the windows to see what
we’ve become.
You’re that monster...
Not hiding under the bed but sleeping next to me.
Yet how could this monster look so beautifully at peace?
My pillow is drenched now,
still stained from previous nights
when words were too difficult to express how I felt.
So I let this salty stream do the talking,
It flows out so effortlessly.
Even then they’re too silent in our silence.
One day I will find the courage
to wear your red flag,
and cast away the love you keep rejecting...
How it feels to be unloved -

Yellow
MawaLin Sep 2018
She is mellow like yellow.
A halo around her head,
as swift as light breezes
on a spring Sunday morning.

She isn't too much,
but more than you can handle.
A kohled vision,
that will never see evil.

A small vessel for her,
to carry a big soul,
and enough room for you
to share with her... a home.
she is everything you are looking for- I hope you find her.

The Tea Lady
MawaLin Sep 2018
You can find her in the usual place,
Sitting, drinking her comfort in silence,
Slowly swirling the earth in her hand,
The steam rising from her cup,
A brewed friendship flows into her mouth.

With you she’ll pour your pain in a mug,
Her honey eyes will wash your sorrows down,
As in you continue to sip the dark remedy.
Watch the vapours escape and dance with elegance,
With her nothing ever tastes bitter.
to all those tea - heart to hearts. You were my best healer...

Destruction
MawaLin Sep 2018
When I am with you
I am an atomic bomb.
Destructive, ticking away silently
In the loneliest corner of my mind.
Somehow you manage to set me off
Simple words turn into triggers
And now I have lost count of my seconds.
You have activated me
in the most destructive way...
MawaLin Sep 2018
Old burden
I accepted you
But now it is as if
The memories I used to harbour,
Have retired on a shore.
One by one they have floated,
To the southern hemisphere of my brain.
My cortex befriended you.
Yet you encouraged my neurons to set sail,
Blew out the lights,
Journeying to the unknown.
How can I hoist my thoughts when my waves are so high pitched?
You have thrown the message in the bottle too far out,
For my cerebellum to reach
And conjured up a brainstorm that sways my occipital lobe.
I am slowly drifting away on this melancholy sea.
But old burden
I will not sink!
There will be no white flag,
My limbic system will patch this hole …Whilst I keep bailing out the water.

— The End —
