I write
a little life
littered with
the broken bits
of split
and distorted
reflections
I recorded
and reported
as reality.

Do you see me
or even know I’m here?

Waiting

My arms open
waiting ~ for your embrace

My heart open
waiting ~ for your kindness

Do you hear me?
My heartbeat louder than rain bouncing on the taut canopy of your umbrella

. . .

I see you

I see you in technicolour
your shimmering light casting everyone into shadow

I see your gaze wash over me
as if I don’t exist

As in your eyes I don’t exist

. . .

I never did

To you I’ve always been invisible

You were born near the warm ocean,
grew up around there,
With your clear acrylic smile
and sun-kissed blonde hair

I, the winter cold
More north than I can remember,
We met that day you visited,
a brisk chill, that December

We drank and danced,
while the years passed over
Argued and grew apart,
our greatest fears, now sober

My memories of you, once treasured
Now, faded
as sun deprived lands complain,
Forever, jaded

I’m finding myself very stressed
I think it’s time to decompress

She loves to be a family...
Her heart longs for it.
But fate doesn't allow her.
She had both mom and dad.
But they threw her away.
Bcoz she is a GIRL.
Tears fill her eyes as
She think of her parents.
She tried to end her life.
But the word 'Amma' stopped her.
Her heart beats for 'Amma'.
She breathes in for Amma's scent.
She yearns for Amma's touch.
But all her searches ends in darkness.
You are the reason for
She is being an orphan.
Why don't you take her home?
Why don't you give her
love,affection,food and shelter?
The word 'Amma' means 'Mother'

In celestial harmony—
As will we
If only we
Can keep
Our heads up,
Hearts high
Towards the sky

Sitting behind you,
on a chilly winter day
defines happiness.
Or is it "defined"?

The sky is my witness
She sees all that I do
She hears all that I say
She watches as I stare into the endless blue of her eyes
The sky knows why I am sad
She clouds over and weeps with me today
She sets a grey outlook on the world around me
Perhaps trying to mirror my mood
She sighs, the wind brushing my tear stained cheeks
“You’ll be okay,” she whispers
“You’ll be alright, as will the person you are crying for”
