The essence of him
Caressed my soul
Tore me out of my hiding
Made me so bold
His voice made me shiver
Notes of kindness and warmth
Becoming voice notes recklessly sent
A dim dispute back and forth
Days and months ran away
And I didn’t need you
It only took one memory, a kiss atop my head
Before I fell through...
Falling into a gentle, dusky glow
A leaf crumbled so crisply beneath her cone heel
Nothing compared to the slick sharp feel
As the air escaped like smoke with a quiet blow
Unprovoked, gusts of winds evoked a feeling that could not be shown
Thrown off course, she was forced to kneel
With a short glimpse of the sky, melted in teal
Her hair a tangle, as she fell down below
She lay there for a secon...
What was going on? I had taken care of my daughter - I had given her love, shelter, opportunities in education, and brought her up in a safe town so that she would be out of harm’s way as much as possible. My parents had nothing of that, and I turned out fine.
Maybe that’s not enough? I racked my brain to think what more I could have done to take care of her. It tore my heart that she was lashing...
No. I was not ready to receive the answer to my speculations just yet - I thought I had more time.
His hand brushed against mine as the breeze sliced through the thick waves in my hair, causing the strands to attack my face while my vision became a momentous blur.
“Fucking hell,” I muttered to myself as I whipped my hair forwards, upside down, and reversed the motion with similar force. Just as ...
Maybe if it was one year ago on this day, his answer would have been different. One year ago today, I was the one who was doubtful about what exactly this connection would have led to. Was it just friendship? Could it be more? Had I been completely oblivious to the fact that he might have been the one for me? The thought had crossed my mind, but I consistently waved it away.
Omari had always been...
Her days began to blend together
Once again, her will was fading
Her soul was tied, succumbed to a tether
The courage she boasted, now light as a feather
It meant it was time, the time to awaken
She closed her eyes, ready for the bliss
Her sorrow, the pity, now welcome to be taken
She prepared in agony, her faith to be shaken...
“He stopped loving you a long time ago, you know. I can see it in his body language,” I yawned as I noticed the nerve I had struck in my innocent friend’s brain.
She had to know.
Her forest green eyes started glistening with tears in realisation, before her expression altered as she held them back, narrowing her eyes instead and morphing her delicate lips into an unpleasant scowl. So much for ...
If you weren’t there
I wouldn’t be here
As the woman I am today
My conscience wouldn’t be so clear
The way you give yourself
Despite the cards you’ve been dealt
Is astonishing, a broken curse
You allowed your trauma itself to melt
I may not be able to give you back
Everything you sacrificed for me in this lifetime
Yet I’ll give my soul to make you feel
The glory as the mother you are of mine...
