  • LOOK / SEARCH / YEARN


    LOOK FOR


    A horizon
    that doesn’t fade
    when you reach it.

    A purpose
    that survives the quiet.

    A reason
    not to burn it all down.

    Something that holds
    when you lean—
    And doesn’t give.

    SEARCH FOR


    A place
    where you don’t perform.

    A landing
    that doesn’t collapse.

    A room inside you
    that doesn’t echo.

    A truth
    that survives the storm—
    Not gentle,
    but still yours.
     
    YEARN FOR


    A home
    that doesn’t bruise.

    Warmth
    that doesn’t leave.

    Something
    that doesn’t shrink you
    or ask you to betray yourself.

    Yearn for the self
    that stops asking.

    The one that stands—
    Unflinching,
    unchosen by fear.

    The one that takes the throne
    without apology—
    After everything
    it bled to keep.

  • REVIVAL

    Regrowth is not gentle.
    I died at midnight—

    A slow bleed,
    crying spells,
    fractures beneath the surface.

    Learning to grow
    in the soil of last year’s failures—
    they are lessons,
    not a death sentence.

    I shed the stories that kept me small,
    shut the doors that fed the dark.
    I make peace with sunlight,
    and the quiet pull of moonlit nights.

    I embrace the changes—

    soft,
    loud,
    necessary.

    I hold the tender moments.

    I love—despite the madness.

    Revival.

  • WEIGHT

    Bring me back from the dead—


    pull me under
    with the weight of your sins.

    I’ll tend to your wounds

    and carry your name
    long after—
    it breaks me.

  • ALL THE YEARS COLLIDED

  • Untitled post 783

    I’ve vanished in the silence.
    Buried everything in boxes, in the attic of my mind.

    Creaking thoughts
    Always trying to escape.

    My heart,
    A garden of lost things
    And empty spaces.

  • Indigo Hues, Watercolour Skies

    Indigo Hues, Watercolour Skies

    I cry watercolour skies,
    You can see the tracks of my tears.
    I’m too dead inside.

    Indigo hues deepen as daylight wanes,
    And I realise,
    I don’t live here anymore, inside my head.

    All I can think of is,
    Hope is a slow poison,
    And temporary ecstasy,
    is enchanting,
    Against the fatal embrace of time.

  • To My Love

    To My Love

    Hold me close my dear.

    Hold me near and near.

    Never let go.

    Your warmth and light,

    Keep me safe always.

    May love be with us forevermore.

    And may love and peace,

    Be all the happy moments we share.

    I am with you always,

    Heart and soul.

    Through stormy seas and sunshine,

    And all the inbetween.

    You have my being to the core,

    You hold my heart with yours,

    Intertwined together.

  • We Become One

    We Become One

    As the sun sets over the mountains and darkness becomes night,

    Our souls reset for another day.
    Our hearts settle.
    Our minds may race processing the day that is done.
    Our body lays to rest. 

    As the sun sets over the mountains and darkness becomes night,
    We become one with our true self.

  • Walk With Your Head Held High

    Walk With Your Head Held High

    Walk with your head held high into the night, into the pain and into the light.

    You are stronger than you feel you are, with whatever the suffering you may be going through, hold on, hold tight.

    Don’t give up, don’t doubt yourself, be ready for the fight.

    The battles may be long and enduring, but you will conquer them all.

    Save yourself and free yourself and find peace amongst the chaos of it all.

  • The Truth of Humanity

    The Truth of Humanity

    I try and try,
    But people don’t see.

    I speak the truth.
    But they dont believe.

    They would rather bring their false ideas alive,
    So much so that it becomes their own reality.

    Clouded by a haze of hate,
    Jealousy.

    Pretending to love,
    But tearing apart the pure serenity of connection.
    Drama and misdirection.

    A waste of time and breath.
    These silly games a way to hide their inner demons of hurt and pain.

    Afraid to face the consequences of their actions.
    Or see the suffering that lay behind them,
    In their path of destruction,
    Before it is to late.

  • Till My Last Dying Breath

    Till My Last Dying Breath

    Swirling emotions.
    A river running red.

    All these ghosts and demons,
    Dancing in my head.

    My heart a cracked desert,
    A wide open plane of broken ground.

    My heart fleeting.
    Bounding for ressurection.
    Ressurection from the dead.

    Reborn through fire and flame,
    It is now time again.

    To rise up and conquer,
    This mighty war.

    To never flight and always fight.

    Till my last dying breath.

  • I Miss You

    I Miss You

    I’m still a little bit lost without you.
    I’m walking through the rain.

    I hope for the new day,
    Full of sunshine and fresh beginnings.
    A little ease from the pain.

    I miss you my dear friend most of all.
    Gone through everything from big to small.

    I miss you.
    When the nights are cold.

    I miss you.
    And your hand to hold.

    Your sweet smile.
    And bright blue eyes.
    the way you could make me feel like I could fly.

    I miss you.

    But I’m trying my hardest,
    To soar through my own skies.
