Becoming

A new season hums beneath my skin,

Everyone aches for the fire within.

Even I crave the heat whilst held in,

So much that I question the way that I live.

This root, this bloom, this sacred tide,

Reveals a truth I cannot hide.

I’ve whispered dreams into the air,

And now, here, and always there.

Takes walks beside me

In quiet moments, crystal clear.

 Finds me in my dusk and dawn,

In every breath, he lingers on.

Where love and oceans gently collide.

there when I lay down to rest,

heartbeat echoing in my chest.

Cradles weight my hands once bore,

Nourishes me to my very core.

He meets my hunger, holds my flame,

No need to chase, no need to name.

I’ve known him in a thousand ways,

In future songs and ancient days.

He stands, aligned a sovereign soul,

As I embody my next role.

The Price of Aspiration: A Poetic Reflection


If I’m everything you’re not
then yes, it’s a dangerous game.
You mimic my walk,
study my talk,
but lack the hunger that carved my name.

You praise the ground I glide upon,
until you can’t bear the weight of your own gaze.
Aspire to me, yet tire too soon
I chase the moon while you count the days.

Each glance, a mirror you avoid.
Each word, a truth you deny.
So you call me arrogant,
label me villain,
to make peace with the part of you that won’t try.

Naturally, your empathy fades.
Naturally, your envy grows.
Naturally, a friend turns foe
because my rise reminds you
just how low
you’ve kept your bar.

Queen Card

To The Queen Card

Every piece bows in time
It’s when they know how many deaths she’s died
to rise, to rule, the grand design.

The Queen card, laced in Grace..
a walking empath, a mother, a lover by fate

Tell me, which Queen do you wish to serve?
For in that, you step closer
To a fate you’ll find deserved

Please stay

When “Let Me Go”

Is “I want you to stay”

“For the love of God, set yourself free.”

Pushing away, yet needing so much,

Sacrificing all for idealism you clutch.

Stupidity you thought you never caught 

Now weighs you down, like tangled knots

Do yourself a favor: live,

Breathe deep, 

take what life can give.

Eat, pray, love and repeat

for God’s sake, please,

Unshackle yee soul and findeth thy peace.

Bloom once more

If you ever learned 

how it feels to be dead and still walking

To drift through days as a ghost,

Cause no once knocking 

Wearing a heart that no longer beats nimbly,

Cause no one’s coming

Its rhythm lost to a symphony of sorrow,

Like your black coffee

But somewhere, deep in this muted core,

A seed remains, stubborn and small,

Whispering hope to the void in your lungs 

That even dead things can still rise

 and bloom once more.

Drop your weapon

I get it, drop your armor, 

love will follow,

I thought I did 

..

But today, I found a truth so deep,

I built these walls, while I was asleep.

It’s not just walls, but pride I wear,

A fortress forged in silent despair.

It’s not just pride, but ego, I fear 

A mask I hid behind here.

It’s not just ego, but shame I hold,

In shadows quiet, in stories I never spoke.

It’s not just shame, but abandonment’s cold,

A hollow echo of goodbyes, feeling sold.

But It’s not just that, it’s the unknown,

A place I wandered, all alone.

But so you say love is always near?

Waiting for the walls to disappear?
