When I need
Your definition of me,
I’ll give it to you.

How you love hearing me
Speak words
Does not compare
To my ceaseless zeal
In anticipation of you receiving them.

Be/twixt
Prior to this, I was a funambulist
Walking a fine line between dark and light
Now, I can confidently say
I play jump rope with the threshold
That binds night and day.

Through my writing
I will plant a seed of hope
In the darkest crevices of your mind
Like that phantom vibration syndrome
Experience unforeseen
Yet euphoric sensations
In your darkest momentsÂ
As you feel the light from my essence
Shine, even in the face of my absence.

We may be under the same skyÂ
But what you see as moving cloudsÂ
My selective attention readjusts and dictates
As me moving this planet to a better place.

When threads of thought loom
Into a pattern, subsequently laced
Post-external suggestions
They expand; seek escape,
Good or bad, their cultivation, gives them powerÂ
Eventually, wishing to make themselves known
They, subtly make you awareÂ
By impulsively
Making your vessel act.

All Together Now (Collaboration)
Another collaboration with my friend Kim from the blog Peace, Love and Patchouli
Always a pleasure and enlightening experience working with her. Our words weaved together into one; leaving me inspired and hopeful for another project later in the future 🙂 . Visit her blog and bear witness to how she brings light into the world through her amazing writing.
Invisible hands move slowly
Softly melding in to touch the coolness
I am created piece by piece
Sheltered in the warmth
I wait to serve.
In unison, I pour
The best of me and you
Molded formation of love and truth
Allotropes of the light
Touch gifted by none other
Than the most divine.
I feel you through each finger tip,
Forming my soul with such an innocence
And as seen through your eyes
You make me whole
And through my imperfection
I feel beautiful
Inside and out.
Kneaded, to a standard reflective of
How much we’re needed
Nature of our design sparks emulation
Feel the presence in our stillness
Look at us, witness your reflection
Through our rich definitive finish
Another love letter
From our Maker.
We stand together
Unique in our collective being
Standing tall and ready
To serve the needs of the starving soul,
To refill where there is an emptiness
With hope and love for all.

TY
So in touch with this, you could say,
I quiver when I write
Stuttering from the influx
No doubt, an unbelievable sight.
*
My mind accommodates
The traffic of an entire planet
Not at all how I planned it,
But exactly how my Maker intended
I like it when they dispute, seeking refuge
Some sort of comfort from discrediting
What they can only hope to understand.
*
For years, I’ve been at war with myself
Who would I know better
To a level that dwarfs the self?
Tend to unlocking the first gate
Of your consciousness before
Being brazen enough to open my sixth,
This brainiac’s brain casing has been the vestibule
For tethered extra-terrestrial conduits;
Entailing the passenger of this vessel
Knows about Me, Myself
And I – – will always be the one
To tell you, who I am.

The story of my emotions
Is perhaps my favourite ghost story
Speak to my heart and hear the sonic
Resounding over my cavity.
Purge the thought that im self-righteous
Instead, pair me with the worst the world
Has to offer — little to nothing as compensation;
As favours, nor do I expect any.
Gray matter splattered on paper
Verses serve as a testimony
Of my multifaceted personality;
Idealistic, pragmatic, cynic
No stranger to frustrations of my ambiguity.
Regardless, I work the curve…
Learnt to love me, learnt to love you
But I can’t teach you, how to love you
For you.

Am I, in love with you
The idea of you;
Or rather, the taintless memory
Of you?
