Eventually
is a terrifying word.
Not so much, in the way that
you have no idea
of what is inevitable,
but instead,
in knowing that you have
even just the tiniest bit of power
to alter the course of things;
that even just a slight nudge
to whichever direction,
right or wrong,
there will always be
an eventually.
and I keep dreaming of a simple admirer,
someone of whom I will never tire,
gentle, kind and sweet like a toffee,
with eyes, made of coffee.

we are free birds, they say

yet we will never forget
the cages we were once trapped in

singing between silver bars,
hoping our song would reach
the world beyond our prison

well, it reached you

but I still sing
so that you may always be reminded
that whilst you’ve found me, and released me

I am not a free bird
I am merely a caged bird, set free
Stigmatisation
No salvation
Humans locked
No navigation
Now unlocked
Stigmatisation,
and mock
Leaves fresh,
open minds,
unblocked.

Our bodies
need each other now
because our souls
remember
Music and spirituality
Will be your companions
at the end of your life.
a new day has dawned
as we are kissed by the sun
night is forgotten.
