In the bubble were hopes and dreams.
Hopscotch, handstands, Mr Whippy Ice Creams.
The freedom of playing outside on the street.
Summer holidays, bike rides and pick’n’mix sweets.
Years swept past and the bubble was still there.
Now 13 more interested in clothes and my hair.
Music and dancing; cigarettes and *****
Never thinking ahead, just running wild and loose.
BURST went the bubble is his sly hands.
A past and present stolen; a future with changed plans.
Colour and glitter fell in horizontal lines.
Out went my sparkle, off went my shine.
Much time passed as I continued to grow.
Teens and twenties a blur but in my thirties I slowed.
I remembered the bubble; I remembered his hand.
The memory knocked me down like a wave on the sand.
With love I healed and began to blow, a fresh new bubble for my mended soul.
Filled with hope and forgiveness; love and light.
Books, food, nature; spiritually taking flight.
Yet I winced when I saw him once again.
Feeling sick to my stomach, almost feint.
He plagued my thoughts and dreams for a while after.
But truth broke me free as negativity shattered.
He took a part of me forever and that I can’t forgive.
But I have to move on in order to live.
My innocence was snatched but my future is mine.
I will live it to it’s fullest; forever I will shine.

light fades to darkness
creeps in and over shadows
is it just me?
does the world seem to be growing
ever so darker?
ever so colder?
The Almighty Beacon
lights up the darkness
the ways of the world slow you down
picture: sunshine on your face
the warm touch of millions of sunny fingertips
caress me
caress you
picture: fields of open air
the aroma of lavender and lemongrass
calming
serenity amiss distress
your troubles are overwhelming
your thoughts are never quieted
the world has you crippled in anxiety
We are not the world we live in
so many fail to realize
I have submitted by submission
my supplication
To serve but One
To love none short of All
I'm amidst an explosion
as is all of Being
we are exploding
exponentially
neverending
remarkable
beautiful
life
