To my knees…

Fell down to my knees in front of an honest sky and truth, with its piercing crown of light, tore at my skin  and told me to stand. Slowly, slowly, I stood, inhaled dusk. The clouds, those clouds, how softly they supported my spine. And these years old boots, with nicks and bruises, still determined to carry me another day … another night… other dreams…❤ Continue reading To my knees…

Nope…

No, I did not choose to fight forever, some days I just turn the pillow on the other side and let it go in anonymity, gray painless. Then I remember that I am (or rather what I believe to be), I am reminded of the commitments, the faces of people I love …. and I say, okay today, they are still here. And ‘for this reason’ I feel like a warrior, because one day after another, like a mantra, I am able to repeat it, and it’s true: even today, I’m still here ….it is always time to fight…♥ Continue reading Nope…

When you are sad…

1. Write letters to the people you love. Don’t seal them; don’t send them. Instead, stick them between the pages of library books. 2. Eat mangos off your fingertips. 3. Venture outside and observe natural life. Watch a honey bee suck the nectar from lavender plants. Watch a snail slowly make its way towards the shade of a tree. Watch a hummingbird innocently fly above your head. Realize how insignificant you are. 4. Smile at strangers; say hello. It will improve their day and your own. 5. Write lists. They can be about anything. 6. Read several pages of the … Continue reading When you are sad…

I am just a fool…

Am I just a fool? I think not inclined the voice in my head I have fed from the fruit called Life and have tasted the sweet and bitter end of it. Suffice to my understanding that I am now wise beyond my years, the fears and tears of my impertinent childhood, a lesson I find irrefutable. Pride is nothing more than an act I find excusable…Excuse me… Ignorant in my ways, I used to think crime pays…The irony of life is that when you get caught you’re the one who pays. Ignorance is more deadly than an unsheathed sword…About … Continue reading I am just a fool…

Silence…

The moon floated and drifted through the night, landing in my thoughts, on my dreams, upon my face, its loving shine so awakening and tranquilizing. It was the first time in a long time my soul felt at peace, the restlessness finally fading after days, perhaps weeks of that constant turmoil feeling, a storm had been brewing inside, it’s hunger insatiable while contained in any four-walled structures. I walked and walked and walked, alone and silent; my high heels softly crunching the newly fallen leaves was the only sound around for miles. The dew grew in size and solidity, becoming … Continue reading Silence…

The sea…

I, the sea You, the worn out ship Your pain, the Greek fire Intensified when You threw them away, wanting to get rid of  Intensified when I tried to get them into my heart, deep into water to move them away from you They burned you up You sweared and cried at me: “Cruel!” I tried to glue the ashes with salt: “Come back!” “I haven’t witnessed such a thing before,” said the seagull”… ❤ Continue reading The sea…

I hope for better days…

I remember when tragedy struck and it always had such a profound impact on me when I was younger. I could feel this deep feeling in the pit of my stomach as I could not understand why people would hurt other people, would hurt themselves, or wish pain towards others. I always appreciated this ignorance to it though because I never really truly wanted to understand what evil truly was. So, what’s heartbreaking is how numb I was to tragic events as it felt all to common. And I hate that sadness and disturbing events have become so integrated to our … Continue reading I hope for better days…

All forgotten…

I’m looking for a poem that gives me strength; by the verse that makes me feel alive again. I insistently look for the page that explains to the world my agony and faithless, with the most special word of tenderness, soul and tolerance, but I’m not in the semantic or rhymes, I can’t find all that in the books or on the people faces. Even though we are only one, the same people and this can’t explain everything what is happening right now, since there is no history, precisely because I have no history, so you, so us…we are all … Continue reading All forgotten…
