He was 3; issued a blanket,
It too was part of the property.
As I move into this thought
Africa becomes a coast.
I do not know it. Sandy or rock?
My mind moves into the forest,
My heart, into a village.
A toddler clings to the robe covering
The dark skin of her mother.
“Africa” the word is read,
“Place of birth: Africa”.

I didn't want you,
I wanted love
and I have realised
that they are not the same thing.

You were a mould
that I poured my insecurities in,
a computer I tried to program.

But you are a sky,
stormy and clear and rainy and warm.

You were so blue when I longed for red.

I didn't want you.
I wanted the thought.

The poetry isn’t in all these words —
It’s in knowing I survived them.
Holy smokes! Thank you everyone for all of the support! I don’t come here too often so I did not expect this; what a beautiful surprise ♥️

i don't wear my heart on my sleeve;
i wear it around my neck
okay.

I'm sad I've to say goodbye
And I've never felt so alone in life
As tears roll down my face
Saying goodbye is so hard to do
Because I know its hurting you

I sit here in the darkness alone
And silence all around and I think about you
There's nothing else I can do without you
Stop and whisper, I love you
But nothing will here
So perhaps it's time to go
And say goodbye to you

But my heart will always beat for you
You'll always be the one I love in life
And I won't ever forget you
As the tears roll down my face
Remembering and all the
Beautiful things you've done for me

A beautiful Angel from heaven above
She touched my every day
And you comforted me when i was sad
But sweetheart I've gotta go
And leave you behind
And it's hard to say goodbye to you
So promise me you won't ever cry
As I fade away I softly whisper the words to you
I love you.
My Life ❤️💕 🙏

What you realize as you age
Is that it's truly an illusion

All the world's a stage
Ignorance, fear, confusion

But Shakespeare seen in Staunton
Ah! Wonderful night

Prospero then snow
Though things don't work out right.

          81 South. Driving delight.

A broken heart cries
For many shattered wishes
That loving you made
Too many

even my dreams
feel the weight
of our reality
i used to have
the most vivid dreams
of your body inside of mine,
but these days
my wildest dreams look like
us hugging on the couch
for twenty minutes

because that’s as close
as we can get
