Pieces of growth – Short poems
Little pieces of hope become my home.Inside; I treasure every bit, for in the times that have me so scattered…I know that there is a piece of peace waiting for me. I burned myself tonight, I gave into the flames and burned everything I thought I knew about myself.The next morning I awakened from theContinue reading “Pieces of growth – Short poems”
Above & Below
Between the sky and the earth lies love and hate.
It’s now become hard to differentiate.
Everyone in between are just actors waiting for their cue.
Sick flies at moonlight
Love and betrayal,
made a broken heart fragile.
Wild and whimsical,
our love lasted.
Sad and parted.

Love queries
How in love i was with the idea of having a man to make me happy.
To have someone to go to beautiful places with, to complete me
Overthinking
I’ve spent too much time overthinking.
The breaths between each competing thought keep breaking.
CHASING DREAMS
We’re born chasing dreams, then we chase our dreams away
Transcend
Do you feel the shift? It’s time
Dear Dream Catcher
Don’t take away this freedom.Don’t take the light away from the dim.
Honey on feathers
Cover me up with your wings.
Cover up my bare innocence.
All that I see in this world, makes no sense.
I let my guard down, all so that you could reach out to me.
Like honey, my tears run down my face…
How to Stop Sabotaging Yourself
Sometimes we ruin our own lives and relationships. Discover how to start loving yourself.
A Grim Escape
Broken feathers easing down my spine. I’m struggling, this mountain is too steep to climb. How did I end up paying for your crimes. I close my eyes and remember the sounds of the Chimes. The bells from the temples; the series of events that took place eleven hours before this dread. I’m half deadContinue reading “A Grim Escape”
This is the sign you’ve been waiting for
Live the life you actually want to live! It’s possible
Changing patterns
It was going onto the third day of gloomy skies and wet soil; the day started off like any usual day would, hitting snooze at least five times and eating a single cracker for breakfast. The next two hours escalates into a rushed maze run towards another boring day arched over a computer screen. I try to make the hours that tick by feel fun by creating tunes as I hit my keyboard. Karen, just a cubical away crunches on her carrots and hummus whilst scanning for potential threats that may damage her privileged life.
I Miss You
Leading and receding.
I cant seem to step out of your daze.
Its time now, I’m setting it all ablaze.
Masterpiece
Create a world you would be happy living in
A Harry Potter challenge
This one is for the purebloods
Journey through Depression
Depression is not a choice and without proper help can be fatal.
Twigs Of Peace
She ran after the doves,
peace be with her, peace be with her sons;
the one’s she silently protected.
She grew wings out of her blood, every strike on her grew into a new feather.
Darkness of the mind
being scared of darkness is a condition created by those before us.
Living behind pages
He flung the pages up into the sky,
like ashes in the wind.
The stories he told were all nothing but dreams.
Echos in the moment
Ramblings of the mind can present the hidden gems lurking beneath the mundane.
Crystal Child
If you feeling like earth isn’t truly your home then you might resonate with this poem. It’s time to awaken crystal child.
“You are what you eat”, what about the other senses?
Spritualizing your senses breaks the boundaries you have with this world and even the ones you can’t see, it suggests we experience the little and big things your senses interact with as a part of your spiritual journey.
Soul Contracts – What’s happening right now
Before we begin our life on earth, we choose all the people who we are going to be in contact with. Everyone we encounter is here to provide us with something. It may seem ludicrous to think that we have actually picked people to hurt us; however on a soul level it all makes sense.Continue reading “Soul Contracts – What’s happening right now”
Take And Stay
Drowning inside this frozen lake.
Take my fears and stay with me, my tears.
Timeless
Our past doesn’t define us, it teaches us who we want to become
Your Truth
You cover up who you are with a lie and then another.
You dont even recall making that lie, sometimes those lies are made for you.
Open your eyes to your own truth and not someone else’s.
#BLACKLIVESMATTER
Challenge the conditioning, the oppressions and free your expression. Silence the gun shots with your confidence. Stand up against supremacy and propaganda. Roar for the suppressed to soar.
How to heal your inner child?
Learn how to deal with the Demigorgons of your past.
Nameless bliss
Holding all of my faith in you; a tiny dot up in the sky.
These days are lonesome, nobody can understand me, but you.
A nameless light, that’s been with me throughout my whole life.
Mirror
I searched for myself in everyone’s mirror.
My eyes were like mirrors to them.
‘The simpletons’
When I was younger, I wanted to be a pilot.
I guess in metaphorical words I just simply wanted to fly.
Lament of the poet
Silent little talks with myself.
Confiding within, for help.
One too many; my stories fly page after page.
Ink blocks and heart’s locked…
Anger burns
Anger can be the deadliest fuel, choose wisely – purple empaths

Welcome to our world @Covid-19
This is a difficult and painful time for the people of the world. The universe brought to earth this virus because it is what was needed for us right now. Let’s try to understand why..
A misfit’s legacy
What sets a want from a need
is what sets greed from a plead.
A plead from yourself, begging to be needed.
THOUGHTS
I enclosed
myself in a snug fleece
duvet.
I closed my eyes to the
tranquil sounds of nothingness.

Unbound pages
Ever since a certain day, my mind has constructed a library.
Uncatalogued and unread.
I’ve been trying to connect pages to emotions.
Thought after thought, Spinning into heavy rotations.
Ink to page, page after page; I’m setting my passion ablaze.
Raze the maze
I’ll walk with my shadows balancing on the moonlight.
Rise with the owls and sing with the stars.
Long till the nights stay, my shadows and lights play.
Lucid trips to you.
You keep scribbling down gold with a frown.
While I keep chasing down a broken crown.
We both keep blazing through mazes to find our place here.

2019 NEWSLETTER
One day two people came together because they wanted to share themselves with the world. They knew what it meant to be stuck within the black hole of the mind. They hoped to inspire others to walk with them up a road of self growth.
Thank you, from the bottom of my roots
I give thanks to who I am,to who I was and to who I am to be.Good or bad.Happy or sad.These emotions made up my branches.I turned over many leaves, grew different from the other trees.I’ve become a bold tree, twisted twigs unlike the ordinary.That of which my roots support proudly.My emotions sizzle into earthlyContinue reading “Thank you, from the bottom of my roots”
Sunflower road
Sunflowers bloom through a whimsical wrinkle. Growing inbetween my fickle face. Trying to cruise at a simple pase. Passing by the rat race. Going smoothly; the clouds pass by hesitantly. Still is my mind; the rays of the sun and the moon keep blessing me. As my worlds stand in stillness. The world is runningContinue reading “Sunflower road”
What do I do with the rest of my life?
As we grow, most of us feel this mounting pressure about how we are going to survive in this world – and not just survive but thrive in it. It’s a scary thought to some that they have to pick something, just one thing, to do for the rest of their lives and in aContinue reading “What do I do with the rest of my life?”
Her melting crown.
Fractal by fractal, my guard crumbles down.My last defences may cause you to drown to a past tense.My numbing cold burns fail to burn your ego.Just as your efforts fail to work.All that’s left to do is walk.Walk into an unseen future.Chip after chip. Break after break, my crown collapses.Swish swosh. Drop after drop, myContinue reading “Her melting crown.”
Broken
Curled up all alone.Whispers bouncing back to myself.Billions of dreams stacked up on my tall shelf.My broken ladder representing my fractured identity.Breath after breath, tear after tearFallen to the barren ground engulfed in my fear.My validation; only counted by stacks of paper like I’m something being sold.Fitting in? not for me, still stuck in theContinue reading “Broken”
Tick Tock
Leaves blew whilst time flew.
Tick tock tick tock.
I could hear the birds flock.
Stumbling upon the leaves that flew right past me.
Reminded me of the seconds that had just passed.
And with every step taken forth.
The leaves trail in sync.
The greatest lesson in life
The process of experiencing things is one of the greatest I’ve felt.
Focus on YOU
The society we live in has many different kinds of people. Labels are often given so that people can be sorted and classified as being a certain way. Lots of people try to fit themselves into that classification, while others rebel, wanting to be unique. The one thing they both have in common though, isContinue reading “Focus on YOU”
The hunted’s roar
You claim my horns as your trophy, you couldn’t be good enough to win a real one.
Who is an Empath?
Empaths are people that have the gift (or curse) of being able to feel the emotional states of other people. It is often described as picking up on the energies of another person, to the point where you feel the emotion as if it were your own. It is a rare ability to be bornContinue reading “Who is an Empath?”
Unread queries
You leave me no answer, just me and myself alone to debate
on the clouds of dreams you left me to create.

As twisted as life may be.
Love let’s it be.
Our bliss
You cant make brush strokes when the paint is dry. You cant dream a tomorrow when today is tomorrow. You cant begin if you don’t try. I cant try without telling you goodbye. All of the risks we take from now onwards. All of the steps we walk from today on. We’ll paint a worldContinue reading “Our bliss”
Waiting for your happiness
Most of us live with the thought that it’s okay to suffer now, because it will all be worth it later on. We work really hard and sacrifice our time and energy because we believe that’s how it needs to be done.
Lows
Wanting to revel in your glorious despair
Yet I also hate you
If only…
My dream is to see a world where love is shared amongst everyone. A world where we support each other. A world where we not driven by greed, money and jealousy but rather the upliftment of human kind, we all want to be happy and want what’s best for us and our families, so make that change and let’s work together instead of tearing each other apart.
Heart to Heart communication
My hands form fists
It gets harder to breathe
Everything is blurry
Tears burn my eyes
My voice cracks
You’ll never know what you did to me
Do you even want to?
The soldier is female
Rain drops trickled down her wounds. Drops of mercy from mother earth, she’s used to being exploited. She stared sadly at the fingers pointed… Fingers pointed back at her, for the pain she endured. She prayed to hope, asking to be cured. She faced sleepless nights. Struggled with countless internal fights. Whispering to herself everyday.Continue reading “The soldier is female”
Letters from success
I fell in the middle of dreaming and living.
Healing Angel
Now I’m flying
Falling too
Mostly falling
How to handle Anxiety
Anxiety to me is the racing thoughts in your head that renders you speechless, coupled with sweaty palms. You’re scared, nervous, embarrassed and wondering how am I able to feel all of this at once?
Can you break ties with family?
Whenever we meet someone, we decide the role they will have in our lives and how much of our time and emotion they deserve. Our relationships with our family is much different, it’s a predetermined connection and we often have to live out these relationships according to societal standards. Most people have good relationships withContinue reading “Can you break ties with family?”
Save the rain forests
The Amazon is referred to as the earths lungs, produces 20% of the oxygen in the earths atmosphere, so understanding why the Amazon is so pertinent to our existence, should be common knowledge and something that should get a lot of airtime.
Are kids allowed to be themselves?
Many people in our society suffer from insecurities and unfortunately when they become parents they end up taking it out on their kids.
Burning forests and melting glaciers, where does that put us as human beings?
I am not attacking a government, scolding a community or blaming a sector. I simply hope to highlight reality with hope that YOU, the person reading this re-think their responsibility as a human being living on the only habitable, generous planet.
Seasons
I’m not afraid to fall
Part three: The storm surrenders
“We don’t have to surf the same wavelength, that’s not what soul family meant.
At least we won’t throttle each other with a rule leash or have false words to preach.”
Part two : storm peaks
“Contradictory rules, foolish statements just to look cool.
Guess we all fools down here,so let me be my own fool” this poem highlights the raw emotion one feels at their lows.
Part one: the brewing storm.
Why do I expect, I’m never correct. I’m just gonna flow I want to let go. I’m so written by the book , that’s the only way people look. So I expect out of respect. for something I don’t really want all because I never got. I don’t want to just sit and rot withContinue reading “Part one: the brewing storm.”
Dealing with Dark Days
Have you ever felt that you would never be happy again?! You’re breathing and your heart is beating yet you feel as if you’re not even a part of this moment or this world.
