Mostly, sometimes in love
Sometimes things matter only because we have nothing else that possibly could
Sometimes a love seems possible only because we know not love, nor do we know how to love ourselves first
Sometimes.
But most times, we love because we see the goodness in others and they in turn see it in us before we in ourselves even could

Letting go of the negative
I was going to rant, wrote this post yesterday and sat on it for a day. So glad I did. I’ve decided to keep my blog positive and continue on my path of no grudges and anyone who carelessly hurts me, betrays me or toys with my emotions, well best to you, but I will not give you another second of my self. Still, there’s a good story to my post, and so here’s a much-abridged version. Oh, and gone is...

My Almost One
“Hello” he said “I don’t think we’ve met In fact, I know we haven’t I would remember that delightful face The dark of your hair mysteriously guising the temples of your thoughts” Few smiles later, couple awkward chuckles and a magnetic meeting of the eyes He spoke of the city, the sunsets and mundane life He was intent on knowing more Was she okay? Did someone hurt her and...

When Hydrangeas Mattered
When hydrangeas mattered And daffodils in abundance grew When dandelions in the wind Held their shape in plain view When lavender smelled as sweet freshly cut or dried in sachets And the children ran a muck in a ruckus When the angel trumpets and wisteria flowered When dreams were tightly sealed in disguised clutter And the mirror in a reflection didn’t bother When roses and tulips in a...

Withering Barnacles
Withering barnacles form over time
On a soul so restless and tortured
It remains untouched by the divine
Rays of light
With speckles of sea salt
And gentle abrasions from sand
Together dancing rhythmically
To create the most precious of sea glass
From nothing, but the rough
Bruises on you
Like a map with missing legend
How long before you see
Doses of miracles taking place everyday...

Beguiling
Ever so slightly, a glance Sheepishly caught stealing a stare Unfamiliar ground Locking of the eyes Instill what words never could A faint smell of morning’s fragrance A rumpled newspaper And shirt collar undone, just enough An accidental stumble against your chest And brushing of hands Where have they been? And what are your dreams? I now have your attention Curiosity is peaked And...

Sitting on the tube tearing up on way to Heathrow to meet my mom. Today is such an emotional, overwhelming day. I didn’t expect feeling like this, kinda snuck up. For decades it was a dream of mine to give my mom a proper vacation, and she would have never otherwise have the chance to see Europe. So scratch that one off my bucket list, wipe the tears and let’s get this adventure off to...
