Dearest Destined Jewel,                                          Of longest heartfelt yearning, Bestow on thee, Hamlet awaits, Ophelia picking flowers, Magnolia branches speaking, Beautifications of Spring. Supreme buds of new life,  Magnoliaceae of Queen bees, An enterprise of wonder, Symbolic child's enchanted play, Faeries in flight whisper attractions, Fondness, Les fleurs du mal. Ample blossoms, Bosoms of delight, Devouring light, Little birds sing, Nestling, Chirping a languishing cacophony, Blissful unawareness, Nature nurture the soul. A slip then fall, Nearby church bells distract, Into abyss fallen, Elevated body all at once, Floating amidst flora, Drowning, Petticoat woven dress, Resting on fresh valley water, Immersion, No contention, Hamlet awaits. © Sia Jane

Ophelia drowning
Paalam sa munting kinang sa kanto ng iyong mga mata. Sa unang alab ng huling araw magpapaalam ang bihag ng tanikala. Walang humpay ang daluyong ng mga ala-ala. Salamat sa unang halik at iyong natatanging labi. Mula sa una at sa huli. Ito na ang huling paalam. Papadayon din ang araw, bukas o sa makalawa, o hindi kahit kailan. Walang luha o sugat na lalatay sa iyong balat. Hindi kailangang manatili sa ala-ala nating dalawa. Mula dito at sa mga susunod na araw, buwan, at taon. Para sa ating dalawa ang paalam na ito. Hindi na kailangan magkubli sa anino ng masaya at masalimuot na nakaraan. Ito ang ating hudyat, ang ating kidlat mula kay bathala. Para sa muling pagkinang ng iyong mga mata. Sa ala-ala ng buwan at ng mga bituin. Sia lahat ng bagay na nagpangiti sa iyong puso at labi. Paalam aking dagat, aking asul na langit. Minamahal kita.

Paalam
I'm made of all; The books I've ever read Poems I've ever written Faces who have smiled at me Hugs that have wrapped around me Caresses that have graced my inner thigh Countries & continents my feet have touched The lovers as we simultaneously reach ecstasy within Lonely nights shedding tear drops Nights gazing black skies moon & stars Children falling asleep to my heartbeat Animals whose soul was found through reflective eye stares Conversations spoken in French, Spanish, Italian, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Norwegian, German Years of ****** cognitive-, dialectical-, art-, drama-, music-, mindfulness-, trauma-, psychiatry-; therapies The drinks & drugs & mind altering substances dispersing my mind In all I'm made of; Love Lust Greed Fear Joy Freedom Longing Dreams Despair Sadness Anger Frustrations Happiness Anxieties Insecurities.... In all I'm made of; A soul; securely contained within a body of battled scars; over; pain & triumphs, losses & gains, rejections & acceptances, dishonours & accolades... With the hope; she too, can live life through. © Sia Jane

Chapters of Self
It's hard to write a poem When there's nothing going on It's hard to think of what to say When you've given most of it away As poets we never scratch the surface We delve within, disclose our deepest sin We crave our pain, declare it's for our art Yet more often than not have no idea where to start But start we do and start we must A deep desire in all of us To spill out on the written page What little bit we have tried to save Ink now is the poets blood Fragments of self pour from within Silence is our safety net To stop us from bleeding out Although it's hard to write a poem With nothing going on We still find words to form a verse From deep within our marrow bone Work © Mike Hauser & © Sia Jane

A moonlit dance beneathe constellations       not Taurus or Gemini, Delphinus or Orion                  but stars we named together                    linking lines from star to star        hands pointing in air so cold a tear falls and                            another   leaving a roadmap on my cheeks             that you                             chase                                        chase                                                   chase             lifting the palm of your hand                  so cold to the touch I shiver             feeling the beauty of my tears          that glisten like Venus in the midnight sky              of this cold Parisian night   you smile in jest and      I misplace the space   between you and I and that sky   whispering "do you love me?"     how could I resist the beauty of                  our second to last kiss. © Sia Jane

Centaurus
We’re looking into each other’s eyes; it’s 4am. We’re sat in a hospital room, I’m reciting your favourite verse. You’re ragged and stitched together; I just wish it was from being loved. I just wish my love could make you Real. I knew from day one, no one and no thing, not even love, could take you away and finally set your soul free. So I gave you all of me. It wasn’t hard to give away. Within moments of witnessing your smile; the one held in your eyes widening your stare, you crushed through my ribs with warmth and love, held my heart in your hand, promising no matter the distance and land between us, my heart would remain safe – beneath your bruised chest. Tonight, I’m alone. It’s been 17 days since I last saw you. I’m in the park where we always walked, where our love was made tangible by etchings in wood. The bark now crumbles and the decay mirrors the gradual corrosion of what was once, and will never be, again. © Sia Jane

Wednesday's Child
Palembang, Kamis 6 Januari 2011 Hari ini aku seneng banget Aku sedang dekat dengan seseorang Dan aku tak yakin menyebutnya cinta Karena aku tuk saat ini tak percaya dengan cinta Cinta memang indah sih Tapi aku sedang tidak beruntung saat aku dengan mantan Aku sekarang bisa merasakan dua belas rasa cinta Sayang, kangen, senang, kecewa, cemas, marah, perih, sedih, menyesal, bimbang, benci, dan lain-lain Oleh karena iti aku tak sanggup bertemu cinta Lebih baik tunggu saja hingga aku siap Tapi bila aku mendapatkan satu kesempatan lagi Aku berjanji tuk mengambilnya Tak akan ku sia-siakan kesempatan itu Sungguh aku berjanji Aku tak sanggup untuk bercerita tentang nya Karena ku takut rasa itu akan berubah Dan yang ku rasa akan berbeda Pasti itu akan menyakiti hatiku Sangat Dan yang manusia tahu Mereka tidak mau tersakiti Apalagi oleh cinta :)

12 Rasa Cinta
**** head, struggling for breath Final hit, before the red Light flashes, warning to stop Over dose, **** the innards She never chose to lose this Battle, between herself & it Where'd she go, lost in space Chasing herself, a dog with his tail Praying to an above, to lead her Straight laced, not swerving off track Please God save me, her last plea Before another day dawns, her final wish Sketcher, tweaker, where's that syringe The lights too bright, reality a curse Rolled up in rehab, another ghetto kid Not this girl, high class, white, moneyed Lost to the night, speed freak, hopeless Drowning in addiction, using again Chemical structures defining her fate Her brain the game Disfigured face, unrecognizable eyes Family love, isn't ever enough Rushed to ER, another broken soul Promises that drugs will save her When only she can ever Save herself This time, she's not another life Lost The Gods sure blessed her, not with Her wish So she's packaged off to rehab The third times a charm, right? © Sia Jane

Rehab
I think perhaps as a writer, we seek the adventure, the unknown, the destructive, not only to know we are alive but to know what it is to live. We live fast, we love without restraint, with impulsive desire. Are we the tortured, the wounded, the broken, abused. We have lived a thousand lives, loved a million times. We dream, we idealise, we fall in love unintentionally, we make mistakes, we endure deep suffering and we fall to the hands of lust within a heartbeat. We choose to show our ******* our ***** our hearts or our souls. We refuse to sell our mind, to which we must always remain held to. Our body is a vessel, one of productivity made victim to abuse. It's such neglect, despair, that leaves us enveloped in patterns of trauma and deeply embedded psyache. Once touched, our bodies remember as an elephants mind always will. We are tainted, scarred, stained by another's love, lust, cheating, lying, crying, kissing, losing, dreaming. We are the risk takers, the ones who dare step into the unknown and often don't adhere to rules and regulations of societal ideals. We crave love. We crave endless excitement. We crave the adrenalin rush of a new lover. We don't settle. Wanderlust writes us. Each journey shapes us, choosing a new direction, experimenting with style, fiction, autobiographical tones. Landscapes colour our pages, pollute the rooms with a myriad of paints, smoking out those who don't endure, slaves to the written word, a pledge to keep reading pages of paper, dusty from step ladder high book shelves. Finding joy in limited first editions, autographed and locked behind glass doors.  Fairy tales whispered by Hans Christian Andersen - The Snow Queen in a pop up book laced with glitter and scintillation. Falling into stories, Alice's rabbit hole, lost to liquor saying drink me. The young ingénue, naïve and shy, her first role acting, embodying the spoken word through the masters written script. © Sia Jane

sedikit demi sedikit, aku sudah tidak merasakan kamu di cangkir kopiku setiap pagi. entah rasanya mengapa sangat sangat habar. seakan kamu sudah benar-benar pergi dari sini. tidak ada yang membuat jantung ini seakan sudah tidak berada di tempatnya lagi ketika mataku menangkap sosokmu. aku tahu, nantinya memang kamu akan pergi. mencintai pilihanmu yang lebih sempurna dariku. aku hanya manusia, mi querido. aku bukan dia yang lebih dari manusia normal. dia spesial untukmu. sedangkan aku tidak. oh, tidak. aku tidak pernah kemana-kemana. aku tidak pergi. aku tetap disini dan menunggu. hanya sepertinya kamu saja yang tidak pernah sadar jika aku disini. sudah menerka-nerka. semua ini akan berakhir tidak berbalas. semua ini berakhir sia-sia. tapi apakah kamu tahu? semenjak kamu bersama dia, aku sangat menikmati hobiku merangkai aksara tentangmu. walau kadang maknamu sudah terasa hambar. kamu tahu mengapa? karena tangan ini tidak akan pernah mampu meringkuh wajahmu dan mulut ini akan kaku ketika bertatapan denganmu. aku membiarkan tangan ini menari-nari diatas papan kata dan merangkai karangan tentangmu.

tidak terucap
1997, 13 AUGUST, THURSDAY You were laid in your mother’s arms, All soft black hair and little eyes, You took your first cry. 2014, 13 AUGUST, WEDNESDAY Today’s your birthday, The austere sun is burning, Like an orange Cyclops-eye. It’s as if Mother Nature knew That today’s a special day. Let the rapture abound and Your day shall be decked with Gold and You shall find bliss in your Dreams. Orange is your colour, Isn’t it? Was your first shirt orange? Fire is orange, And you have fire inside you. You are the fiery one who’s Man enough to just be Silly, Instead of Tough. Your goofy stories Never fail to tickle our funny bones. Your adorable doodles Capture the hearts of all. But most importantly, Your endearing laugh Will stay forever etched in the mind. Even though I’ve only known you for 114 days, I regard you as One of my greatest friends. Just remember that when you’re feeling down, Or ‘cb what is there nice in me sia’, Look a little longer Stare a little harder into yourself And you’ll see, There are some nice things That you never noticed about yourself. So in the noblest way, I wish happy birthday to the one, Who makes me laugh, Because he can. Hope all your wishes come true, And your birthday cake is as sweet as you.

for craig:
Kepada Kamu. Kita terlalu sama. Suka menangis diam diam. Kelihatan tegar di luar, padahal hancur di dalam. Ketika kini kulihat tawamu yang terlalu keras, aku tahu bahwa kau sedang tidak baik baik saja. Kau memang ahli bermain peran, tapi tidak di hadapanku. Cobalah hidup jujur terhadap apapun yang kau rasa. Tuhan tidak menciptakan apapun untuk sia-sia. Hidup tidak melulu soal bahagia, tapi juga sebaliknya. Itu kemutlakan yang tak bisa kau tolak. Seperti sekarang, jangan selingkuhi perasaanmu sendiri, menangislah. Sungguh, tidak ada yang salah dengan jatuhnya airmata. Airmata bukan penanda lemah, sebaliknya itu pertanda agar kau tidak lengah. Setiap kita memiliki lukanya sendiri sendiri. Juga, memiliki cara sendiri sendiri untuk memulihkannya. Airmata adalah cara lain kau berbahasa dan mengungkap rasa, ketika kau tak sanggup mengolah kata. Biarkan luka terbawa oleh setiap tetes airmata yang menitik sukarela. Terkutuklah mereka yang percaya ‘anak hebat tidak menangis’ lalu menurunkan kebijakan yang tidak bijak itu pada anaknya. Mereka pasti mati rasa. Izinkan aku menemanimu, tanpa banyak bicara, memberi petuah yang menjemukan, atau bertingkah konyol agar kau tertawa. Aku hanya akan duduk di sampingmu, menemani selama kau mau. Dan sesekali memberi genggaman, untuk menguatkan. Note: bahkan airmata adalah buah tawa, saat aku bahagia bisa menemanimu dan mendengar cerita kegiatanmu seharian.

Tear
Sia: And another one bites the dust But why can I not conquer love? And I might've got to be with one Why not fight this war without weapons? And I want it and I wanted it bad But there were so many red flags Now another one bites the dust And let's be clear, I trust no one You did not break me I'm still fighting for peace Well I've got a thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard But I may snap when I move close But you won't see me fall apart Cause I've got an elastic heart I've got an elastic heart Yeah, I've got an elastic heart The Weeknd: And I will stay up through the night Let's be clear, I won't close my eyes And I know that I can survive I walked through fire to save my life And I want it, I want my life so bad And I'm doing everything I can Then another one bites the dust It's hard to lose a chosen one Sia and The Weeknd: You did not break me (You did not break me, no, no) I'm still fighting for peace

Elastic Heart
9 January 2014   02.21am "We all have feelings for our girlfriends Bea, it doesn't mean we have to act on them.." Silence filled the room Two opposing forces Love lust passion Hate anger fear What was once owned Has now been taken Walking towards her Reaching out, hand movements So slow and graceful An aura so compelling, senses heightened Bodies shifting as though Magnetic forces were playing A sultry dance acting out Underneath the candelabra Eyes locked mirroring feelings Left unspoken, razor sharp tongue Hips graze, music intensifies An atmosphere fraught with Tension, favoured to be cut by a knife Hesitating lips part with a subtle urgency Circulatory movements dancing feet A lowly finger fondles an inner thigh Ever so slightly withering, exuberant pleasure Eyes connect, glistening from the light A smile pacifying both women Others gazes capture their movements For now, they are the only ones Whose love and light fills this room Alone, unhinged, they kiss At first tentatively, then feverishly Drowning, they are both saved The lovers bodies blend into one Possessing one another Nothing is lost in that moment Desperately clinging to affection Souls freed, emotions making miracles Two lovers effortlessly become One soul being. © Sia Jane

Eleven Minutes
On the first day, he was pushed robust in his stance, the other forced, this boy down the spiral staircase of the Catholic church, the school had renovated, the Spring before Isaac had begun his studies, at the high school. Ballet was his passion, Latin was the language that so effortlessly, fluently was spoken from his lips in class as he smiled at his Professor, another victory accomplished in academia so proud were his parents, of their blue eyed boy. Jonah was the reject, the older brother he had been kicked out of school, not once, but twice, and was often found with a joint, his unshaven face wrapped around one of the girls, from the all girls school that ran alongside Isaacs all boys. Issac was hurt, a further blow to his stomach, rendered him broken as a waterfall of tears ran down his bruised and cut face, so ashamed as other pupils laughed, staring, pointing until the final bell rang as they fled from the high ceilings and narrow corridors. Wrapped in a ball, he waited for all halls and students to clear, and as he rolled over, picking himself up he took to the washroom, knowing he needed to be presentable for his mother waiting for him at the school gate brimming with pride, at her boys scholarship. All his dreams, mystical and serene, Romeo and Juliet fluid streams of poetry of Elliot, Poe, Hughes and of course Wilde and those love letters of Beethoven math, biology, all paled into insignificance he was born a writer, a dancer, a drawer, sketching and typing his heart to a page, prose a future love would read. Johan saw his mother's car pull up as he raced and giggled with Saskia leading her astray, he promised her all the things those boys always did, and of course not to break her sweet sixteen heart, unlike other boys as his mother smoked another Camel, the two lovers jumped into his truck, Johnny Cash blaring from speakers laughing hysterically, the world at their feet. By 4pm, Isaac was ready to leave school, tentatively walking out the main door, down concrete slabs as steps, no predators in sight he couldn't hide the dark circles under his eyes that formed as bruises, knowing he was fortunate to have not been damaged further by the haunting before last period. Walking to the gates, he listened through headphones; Tchaikovsky his release his home his saving grace. © Sia Jane

abuse trigger In my end is my beginning -T.S. Eliot- I distinctly remember the night I decided to get better. I mean once and for all better. On Monday 19th January 2004, at a few minutes past midnight, here, the real story began. I took a deep breath, trusted my instincts, and let myself go. I let myself taste the other side. I let myself fly freely around my environment. I looked in the mirror, removed the mask, and allowed myself to see my own reflection. And I spoke; “You will do this. And it will start now.” My mask I wore throughout the endless rapes and sodomizing, were what kept me alive, kept me breathing. Each day and week passed, each morning I would rise, fixate the mask, and go on. Until I no longer could go on in that way. The crash ended before it had even begun. Breathe through the pain, no pain no gain, pain is what allows you to know you are alive. This is how I survived the years of torment inflicted on myself. I re-enacted all the pain on myself in order to know I was alive. I took what I hated of him and made it a part of myself. But in 2004 that ended. I chose to walk a different path. I chose to recover. Engaging with this topic has given me hope. I know that the future holds something amazing for me. I know that this is what living is. I know this is what freedom tastes like. I love the taste of the rain on my face, the light that shines through the night, and the feeling of well being throughout my whole self. In **** and ****** abuse you are left hating your body. You blame yourself, and you hurt yourself as a way of reclaiming the body that another took. Your body becomes disconnected from you, it becomes "another", it becomes a "thing.” In Greek Mythology, Persephone is the goddess of spring. According to her story, she was abducted, ***** and taken to the underworld by Hades, the lord of the underworld. When her mother, Demeter, found out what had happened to Persephone, she convinced Zeus to force Hades to release her. Before Persephone could leave, Hades made her eat a pomegranate, which meant that she would have to return to the underworld for one-third of the year. According to the legend, the time Persephone spends in the underworld is the time in which there is winter on the earth. Because Persephone made it out of the underworld, she can be called the first survivor. As survivors we can take comfort from the knowledge that although winter is hard, there is always spring around the corner. © Sia Jane (2007)

I don't even know what to write, or say. And for a person who has written so many poems, on this site, it is kind of unbelievable. My first poetry anthology, "Wanderlust" - Sia Jane Lloyd is now available via Amazon. This place (Hello Poetry) has given me something I could never return or give words to. Such acceptance, courage, love, belief, determination, inspiration... Thank you for making me realise my dreams. I couldn't have done it without you. I love you all so so so much xoxo http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wanderlust-she-travels-her-mind/dp/1492952346/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1392582925&sr;=8-1&keywords;=sia+jane+lloyd xoxoxoxoxoxo

Wanderlust - Sia Jane Lloyd
*"So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."* Shall I compare thee... ...to the Iguazú Falls River, where legend serves that a serpent; Boi, demanded a sacrifice each year of a young female, and the day two lovers; Tarobá and his beautiful maid Naipí, took to escape, and in revenge of such an act, Boi exuded such anger that he parted the river, thus forming the Iguazú Falls, splitting the river and condemning to two lovers to the falls. or ...to Cristo Redentor; Christ the Redeemer, the Art Deco statue, protecting and looking over the city of Rio de Janeiro, to whom in all its glory cannot escape the force of nature, struck by lightning, causing damage irreplaceable. or …to The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, hundreds of metres into the sky, a place that to this day is unknown, myth being that King Nebuchadnezzar recreated the homeland of his precious wife Amyitis, who was deeply depressed and homesick, allowing her to find comfort and happiness. or …the Taj Mahal, of Pradesh, constructed using marble by the emperor Shah Jahan, in loving memory of his third wife; Mumtaz Mahal, the jewel of Muslim art, a calligraphy written Great Gate reading; "O Soul, thou art at rest. Return to the Lord at peace with Him, and He at peace with you. or …the Temple of Artemis; Istambul, on sacred land in honour of the Greek goddess Artemis, the most apotheosized of Greek deities, the supposed daughter of Zeus and Leto, the temple also known as Diana, one of the goddesses who vouched never to marry; alongside Minerva and Vesta. or … the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, of the Persian Empire, whereby Mausolus ornamented four sculptures created in relief for his wife (and also his sister); Artemisia II of Caria, generating an above ground tomb that would become to be listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But of all, I compare thee to the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sexuality; Aphrodite arising from the sea, floating ashore on a shell; Venus rising from the sea, a lover of many, later depicted as a painting of the Birth of Venus, by the sufferer of unrequited love; Botticelli, using his muse Simonetta Vespucci as a model. © Sia Jane

Return to the Lord at peace with Him, and He at peace with you. or …the Temple of Artemis; Istambul, on sacred land in honour of the Greek goddess Artemis, the most apotheosized of Greek deities, the supposed daughter of Zeus and Leto, the temple also known as Diana, one of the goddesses who vouched never to marry; alongside Minerva and Vesta. or … the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, of the Persian Empire, whereby Mausolus ornamented four sculptures created in relief for his wife (and also his sister); Artemisia II of Caria, generating an above ground tomb that would become to be listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. But of all, I compare thee to the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sexuality; Aphrodite arising from the sea, floating ashore on a shell; Venus rising from the sea, a lover of many, later depicted as a painting of the Birth of Venus, by the sufferer of unrequited love; Botticelli, using his muse Simonetta Vespucci as a model. © Sia Jane

I get home, to a hand crafted note, one you wrote, with the old calligraphy pen, that sits at grandfathers writing desk. You even used the envelope, sealed by candle wax, stamped a red wax, my initial, touching, folded paper, a kiss of brass. The art of, manliness, unforgotten left on the pillow, of this grandiose four poster bed, mahogany homemade, the resting place, for weekend affairs. You refuse to kiss, ruby covered lips, as I remember the calling card, you used as a formal introduction, perfectly groomed, you entered my life, unregrettably. You, a man learned from his, grandfather his own father passing away, whilst away at sea, that cold and distant war, my tears fell as you pursued his path. You looked so debonair, a tuxedo, measured to fit, all alignments and as I stare at you, eyes connecting all I wish for, are sweet kisses. I want your arms around me, softly whispering, of how you will gently caress, each and every curve, kissing my thigh. The letter, quite simply, hand typed, reads; Florence Rose, will you do me the honor of marrying me? I flush my arms around your neck, tears fall, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. He embraces me, kisses those lips, lifts me to the bed, ********** me for minutes moments and hours, he makes love to me, and I know, I know he, is the only man I will ever need, or even know. © Sia Jane

Unforgotten (manliness)
Love bug, lady crush, peeking through a midnight sky, Deep Purple, Smoke on the Water, before a glimmer in her eye, 90's girl, child stars of, The Disney Club, Timberlake, Spears, Aguilera, Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls dominating, every air wave, Victoria Beckham, her Parsons inspiration fashion designer she'll fight her way, to the top, so much power in her name, yet even stripped bare, she'd be a star, her talent to sketch, draw and drape, falls on knees bent, if only we pray, to even have an ounce from her display, I know few like her, love unconditional, we're the writers seeking solace, an unforgiving pain, life taking so much drain, in the light of day this pain brings forth, an edge to your art, a masochistic feel, creating itself a soul untamed. You write to remember, you sketch your dreams hopelessness turns to desire, the dark cloud of youth, dissipates in the air, knowing there is a way through, treachery and despair. My dear, you may some days, feel in that gutter trying to, catch a star, but today you shine, as bright as a diamond in this very same sky, we see across continents, each night that we pray. Release the grip, lessen the pull, fly and fly, sore heights so high, you ain't ever coming down. © Sia Jane
