  • Untitled post 781

    Creaking skeletal trees.
    Wolves with kerosene eyes.

    Ghosts crying in the walls
    While winter slowly creeps behind me.

    This internal battle is on the edge of dying dreams.

    Life plays the dark symphony
    The nights grow even longer, draped in the veils of wistful sorrow,
    And a small dying hope for better days.

  • Serenity Is A Dream

    Serenity Is A Dream

    My mind is at war.
    My heart wants peace.

    One moment I am falling,
    Then floating the next,
    And falling again.
    On repeat.

    The demons creep around.
    Seeping into my bones.
    They have become my bestfriends
    When I am alone.

    Serenity is a dream far away from here.
    Reality is a prison.
    Constantly trying to escape,
    But never fully reaching the exit gates.

  • 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.

  • Seek The Balm For The Soul

    Seek The Balm For The Soul

    Seek the wonder in life,
    And never stop.

    Seek the showers of gold,
    And the shimmers of sweet light.

    The good things,
    The mysterious things,
    The wonderful things.

    Never stop seeking what makes you smile.

    Allow yourself to get lost in the magic.

    Seek the balm for the soul.

  • Is it Better to Feel Numb?

    Is it Better to Feel Numb?

    Is it better to feel numb?
    Even just for a little while.
    To turn off from the sadness, you’ll know you will have to face again and again

    Or is feeling numb a sign that the sadness has become too much? and you have become used to feeling like this,

    Used to all the bullshit and the trauma, that feels never-ending.


    And being numb is a coping response to try and feel some peace,

    even if its short lived, even if its for one moment.

    One little sliver of peace amongst the chaos.

    One moment of floating instead of falling into the void of darkness that is my mind.

  • 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.Β 

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

  • Just Be Yourself!

    Just Be Yourself!

    Most importantly

    JUST BE YOURSELF! πŸ’—

    To the core of your heart and soul, as your fire burns bright into the night; find your inner true self and go with the flow.

    Stand up for yourself and what you believe in and don’t back down or give in to societies cruel games.

    You may not feel it but know that you are loved just as you are and how you came to be.

    As you grow paths of many intertwine yours but do not let them change your inner self in negativity or darkness, let all that go.

    Follow the light of positivity and wisdom on your journey ahead and be free as you are in your true form.

    No matter what comes and goes or changes in the tides of life, just be yourself πŸ’—

  • Paradoxical Mind

    Paradoxical Mind

    The mind is a paradox of both dark and light moments and thoughts.

    Without the dark we cannot see the light.

    Without the light we cannot learn from the darkness.

    Both intertwined in perfect balance,

    For our exploration of our inner soul and divine soul journey.

  • The Lightbulb Moment

    The Lightbulb Moment

    Some life lessons and challenges are harder than others. Some take longer than others and are more confusing. And some life lessons and challenges do not make sense at all until that lightbulb moment;

    Where all the pieces of the puzzle fall together.

    We face hardships and pain but in the struggle we grow in wisdom and truth.

  • Broken Chaos

    Broken Chaos

    Weary

    Hazy

    Conflicted.

    Damaged like a broken piece of china.

    A beautiful mistake.

    The aftermath of a cruel heartbreak.

    Sorrow

    Pain

    Chaos

    Always feeling lost and out of place.

  • Bring Me Escape

    Bring Me Escape

    Hold me tight,
    Bring me escape.
    The shadows of the world fall too heavy upon my face.
    I feel so out of it,
    Like I don’t belong,
    At all in this place.

  • Live Free

    Live Free

    Everyday we face challenges.
    Everyday we face struggle.
    However in every challenge is a lesson learnt. And in every struggle there is a path for positive change.

    There is a reason for every experience and a plan for everything set in motion.
    Even if you are unaware as of yet, the reasons why will show up eventually.

    Connection.

    It is all a part of your divine soul journey.
    Have no regrets and live free.

  • The Light That Leads The Way

    The Light That Leads The Way

    Patience, perseverance.
    Strength and love;
    Hold close to your heart
    In times of struggle and when times fall apart.

    Wisdom and knowledge will bring you closer to the truth.
    The real reality in everything you do.

    Observe with clarity and perspective,
    Day to day.
    And grow in the light that leads the way.

  • When The Mind Gets Messy

    When The Mind Gets Messy

    My dear, I know the mind can get messy as emotions are all jumbled up.
    But your soul is still beautiful,
    Your heart, still strong;
    And your spirit still flows wildly with every passing day.
    The darkness is the truth in reality,
    Sometimes it’s the bittersweet knowledge that we come face to face with,
    That brings us to clarity and understanding.
    Although the journey can be tough and troublesome,
    The universe is guiding you to the right way to live a full life and be free.
    Find your peace amongst the chaos and hold on.
    All the pain and struggle are worth it in the end.
