Dance with the devil

In shimmering motions of midnight blue she’d been twirled out ballroom doors and in to corridors , an obvious destination in mind ;she was lustrous . As was he who had eyes of liquid steel , she’d committed the inescapable sin of looking into them and he had set loose a conflagration of passion within …

Without you

The rain weeped ; weeped to a point of poignancy , I will forever scorn the universe for taking you away ; I recall praying to any God that would listen to help you ; To save you the despair. And when that did not work i pleaded with my mind to make my heart …

The lies you whispered

laying on the sandy grains of the earth with the melodious sounds of the waves in the distance and the rich smell of salt in the air ; i allow my mind to travel to places i have all but banned myself from , that kind of hurt still too potent . i let myself …

Open Wounds

It was so hard for so long that everytime she saw your face in crowds or heard your name get spoken it would open wounds so deep she found it hard to breathe . She heard your voice come from every male that attempted conversation. Searched out your warmth in every embrace they had dared …

I prayed for you

You were so good to me So kind And funny I have grown to rely on you and us and our easy banter.I wish I could have loved you the way you loved me but I could not.I could only love you like I knew how .So i prayed for you to find someone who …

Guest post 🤍

"Cultivating the mind" By The Thoughtful Beggar Overnight the adorable little sprig of green potential that I had planted from a seed, and nurtured gently, ascended and presented itself to the world, was now a brown mangled mess, and completely unrecognizable. It wasn’t just the three weeks of time that I had put into my …

Abyss

Every conscious thought fled as he crossed the remaining distance to gather me in his arms . "Now is your chance" he whispered inches from my lips " ..tell me to stop" I did not stop him .He kissed me in an explosion of feelings and sensations like a man starved , a man who's …

You bring me peace

Every night since I have tossed and turned unable to get a moments reprieve.It's been nothing but noise and rush. I find myself on the brink, holding on to spider webs by will alone .I've been plagued by where my mind will take me . What horrors I would have to bear witness to , …

We will get through this

Dear best friend I know life is not easy , things get turned all the way upside down…hearts get broken .I also know I cannot always be around you to make things better.But trust me when I say I would give my bleeding heart for your happiness.Because there is absolutely nothing you aren't worthy off …

Why do I feel the loss of you ?

I crunch glass beneath the soles of my feet , the stinging briefly bringing me out of my agony .Dimly aware of the broken windows and strong winds that make the curtains fly ominously I continue further in the house ,screaming his name for what feels like the hundredth time, trying and failing to keep …

I hold me close

When my emotions are high and burdens to heavy . I close my eyes and imagine me talking to you , like a therapy session . You become my subconscious and I give me advice. I hold me close and let me cry ... I share my pain _well try to atleast_ then tug at …

The darkness didn’t need to

We drove in silence , the kind of silence that's is peaceful and comfortable. You didn't say anything , you didnt need to . You knew that's not what I needed. So we drove . We drove so far that we could no longer see the city lights . I rolled down the passenger side …

Nothing but ash

A conversation works both ways , You do not want my opinion. You want yours but out of my mouth. And when I can not give it you , you hurt me with words . The words you do not know the power off . I endure . Each time losing bits of myself , …

A thorned rose ,forced to grow a certain way ..

How can you hate me for my feelings but expect sympathy for yours ? How does it make sense ... Why are you the only one allowed to feel ? What are the rest of us ? How can you hate me for my feelings when I hardly ever express them ? Afraid to be …

Take me back

Would you do it differently if you'd known beforehand, known there would be chaos around every corner? Or if you'd known your foundations would crumble , would you do it differently then ? How about at a chance of saving your soul? I would ! I yearn to do it all differently...

She is toxic but she is mourned

I TAKE A STEP YOU TAKE TWO I MOVE THE SLIGHTEST INCH YOU MOVE MORE I PULL BACK YOU CONTINUE I SMILE YOU GRIN I LET YOU WIN YOU THINK YOU BEAT ME I MOVED ON YOU DRAGGED IT ON I DON'T MOVE YOU KEEP PESTERING I'M ZEN YOU'RE REMINISCING

Penny for your thoughts?

I sat there staring at the water, the ebbing and flowing of waves , the gentle way it kisses the shore lines and recedes ,almost as if uncertain by its boldness, It's an exceptionally bright day ,the smell of the salt ,the spray on your skin the sun at its centre making the water shimmer …

You’re stronger than you think

Perhaps grief is like battle Your body instincts take over, you harden your insides ,prepare for the agony of a shredded heart. And when it hits . It hurts But not as badly ,because you locked away your weakness and all that is left is anger and strength 

Humanity

Today I saw a puppy and no one stopped , Amidst traffic and blaring horns, shouting scholars and stomping citizens rushing to and fro to get to where they think they are most needed. No one noticed the puppy ,lost and small ,possibly terrified. Has the world lost it's humanity, do we all now just …

Learn to appreciate the little things

Theres something spectacular about the size of the ocean, The way it makes me feel, Its power Its life Its inhabitants. I feel alone in this human world , But never near an ocean , not with so much life thrumming through each wave . I cannot understand it nor explain it But in this …
