“They didn’t understand how she lived a hundred lives, and died ninety-nine,

while they only dared to live one”
devi Oct 2023
“The heart is born ageless
put to test against time

How can love know an end
when infinity fills the cup of life

The body a mere instrument
boundless atoms we call mine

Like a fresh morning during spring
dew spreading without any strife

There is no secret in the circle of life
by knowing both sides of a dime

The beating heart turned to a relic
bound to return without asking why

Protest is futile, so is denial
upon the arrival back to the divine”

——

“The bird of the night has come
speaking of ol’ wives tales

Disappears after losing its feathers
after catching the Mother’s tears

Her hand is clutched tight
together withstanding the fire

The songs played so mercifully
making the soul weep so quiet

Bouncing drops of harmony
gathered together for the fight

Knocking the wooden door rhythmically
unheared while dancing into the night

Dawn was calling out for a break
covered in the ashes of the light

And so continued singing aloud
till all of our cups dried out”

———

“Filled with glee and joy
was the garden to explore

The flowers fragrantly bedded
the trees home to one-stop passengers

Looking for a place to stay
scavengers of food, hiding in the shade

Or for shelter, to keep dry
lay under a roof full of leaves

Together with the forget-me-nots
and a sky full of stars to believe

Gifted a million chances to see
all that is when one is open to receive

Tomorrow’s wishes may never be again
today is already granted to thee

So when the rooster sings its melody
let the heart dance as in your dreams”

We don’t cry ourselves to sleep
we turn the page and move on
we laugh, we sing, we dance, we brawl

And continue like nothing is wrong
because we are the ones who get to live
while others died, not letting it be in vain

We write new chapters, open another book
and that’s how we start all over again
it’s simply the only way we know how

Sometimes we may drown for a while
but the tears come as fast as they go
minutes later we wipe away all of the hurt

But we don’t forget the dead
every step we take, we take them with us
while we continue to stay in the game

We have lost without getting lost
we crawled ourselves out of the depths
and took no skeletons with us back up

Inspire those still blind, clueless or in denial
we didn’t survive, we accepted and understood
instead of holding on to what is already gone

Experienced the pain, and continued the same
celebrate ourselves even if nobody can see
and get ready for another one of life’s rounds

Until we say our own goodbyes and leave
when it’s our turn to be mourned
carrying on the cycle of never-ending grief
devi Sep 2023
I wrote all that we weren’t
but wished I had chosen for instead
I wrote down all of my sorrow
for what in my heart I didn’t follow
Turn it into a new memory instead

maybe a future one yet to be made by me

I do not live with any regrets, no hate
nor any pity things as revenge

The only thing someone can blame me for
is moving on from an unhealthy situation
quickly and no words said

The truth is, grateful is all I can feel
even when things turn out bad
it’s my responsibility to me
to see my own flaws in every story
and make sure to be prepared
for another round as long as I am here

The rest is simply not on me

So I congratulate myself
to getting one step closer to a better path
Learning by lessons
I was still unaware I had
keep all that energy to myself
and change, grow into something better
holding still all in my heart
the hopes, dreams and wishes
for a greater tomorrow

I would’ve thought
it couldn’t get any better than it did
but instead it lifted off into something
that I couldn’t even dream of

It hits differently
when you least expect it
when you have given up

We’re still very new
and it’s all very fresh
we met months ago
and not once did he gave me the feeling
he wanted to let go

I know I’m not the easiest to get to know
I’d rather stay to myself
than indulge in a fantasy
that feeds my hungry heart

But he showed me more patience
than I have for myself
doesn’t believe in my online presence
as much as he does when we’re together
when I’m all ears and he has all of my attention

He understands
the hidden lines in my sensitivity
when I’m not there
and keeps close to his heart
all that I’ve said about how I look at love

It’s in the ways when we’re together
not looking away, no jealousy games
confident in who he is
and aware of the company he is with

We catch eyes
as if we are the lead stars in a movie
everybody wants to watch
but he doesn’t get carried away
with the energy we are able to omit
he invests it back in us
and so do I

Listening to the rhythm of our hearts
rather than anybody who isn’t apart
of what we have in our minds

A love like this
is everything I dreamt of
where our influence is made to make us
instead of being used to grow apart

I don’t know how to explain
how special this is to me
when my experiences has taught me
to never be in love again

But he is a world I want to be a part of
as much as I am letting him have
not only a home in my heart
but also a place in my thoughts
which are my most pridest and private parts

The love that grows from this
is one I will cherish
for as long as I can have it
and protect it
as he does me
creating a heaven
for me to be truly free
where I feel save in his embrace

And in return I will built
for him a paradise
to thrive in
follow his passions to end of the world
we created together

I would love to scream
at the top of my lungs
of the luck I feel being only his
as much as he is only mine
but instead I will keep it close to me
live it instead
so all the energy we create
is only for us to have

He opened the door and I walked in,
the air was intense already
heavy and thick
laced with all the things
we were both feeling

and I almost couldn’t breathe

I was nervous, yet calm
it was the seventh time we would meet
my body was tantalizing
but my heartbeat slow and steady

Until then, we had touched briefly
he never went straight for the ****
and neither did I

Anticipating and building
a momentum
shared already in dreams

We had talked about it,
shared our needs
discussed all of our desires
and how we would like to feel

Mind-fuckīng
at best
exactly as it is supposed to be

He had cooked for me
a fine dining once again
but this time made from his own hands

As if he knew precisely
what I am into
the level of life I like
and it smelled almost as amazing
as he did

He showed me around
indulged me in his taste
for another round of perfection

We headed for the kitchen
he grabbed a second glass
to pour in some wine
as I reached for the bottle next to him

My arm grazed his side
and we exchanged a look
we both instantly deciphered

Before I knew
I was up on the counter
with him between my thighs
who needs dinner
when we can have a full course
with an exotic palate to explore

It was more than desire
lust or want
it was roaring
down from the deepest parts

And I was lost
in this perfect combination
of high-end while downright *****
ready to bend in ways
I didn’t know I could yet

And man,
we went to heaven
and back
as he lifted me with one hand
from the table, couch
up against the wall
and into his bed

Looking down on him
with his body between my legs
it must have been
one of the most sensational
pictures I have captured yet

My hands on his chest
thinking he is sculpted as a God
as we locked eyes
and I moved as the waters
waves crashing on the sand

Until I heard my name escape
depart from the shoreline
of his lips against mine
hands above his head
my fingers entwined
as we both let go our release
perfectly at the same time

Dinner was served
and dessert in its finest class
both fresh out of breath
we looked at each other
our eyes laughed
as he pulled me onto his chest

And he said
“I’ve never had the pleasure before
of meeting a Goddess,
let alone having her in my bed.”

‘If time was the only currency in the world’

How would you spend it?
What would you do?

Would you invest it in people
or would you invest it in you?

‘I am not my body
nor are you’

How would you use your energy?
How would you use time in order to transmute?

‘Knowledge is power
and Wisdom is truth’

Which is more important?
Which one would you choose?

‘From all the riches of the world
to all the riches in you’

Do you look inside yourself
or do you look at everybody but you?

What is it you dare to pursue?
I would like to know
