She is someone…

Sometimes my prayers go up in the form of tears,And to me that's a privilege because somewhere out there, a million prayers go up in the form of blood and rape wounds... I ponder on the man privilege that I have been born into; how I can walk on the streets of the rape capital…

Poetry in motion

To me, Love is a river.It is energy in motion,A Wave that carries you no matter how hard you fight, and eventually it teaches you to follow the current... Let yourself go, it's pointless fighting,Become like ice in a warm glass of water,Like chocolate exposed to the sun,Allow yourself to melt and become one with…

Y.A.I

We are spirits with bodies and not the other way around, So in this motion we are set free, as we ascend to the flow of heaven's melodies, we pray to meet again in our next lives,

Repose

She hasn't been sleeping, Tossing and turning to be woken up by sunrise. She hasn't slept much, Growing dark circles resting on her eye bed, drenched in attempts at productivity.

Beloved

I believe certain people are allowed into my life to bring out the best version of me, this particular person has become my day 1. As the date on which our paths crossed approaches, I dedicate this to you... He, so meek full of joy, his scars hidden beneath his smile, He, most's voice of…

Are you okay?

Should I keep running this race called life? Contemplating my existence and purpose, I met an angel, an addition to my guardians...   You are rejected and despised, everyday you look at me...disguised. Disguised under that fake smile and those passionate eyes, but I see through all your lies. The slits on your wrists speak…

Foreign

Dear child, The hurdles here are too high, No one will let you know that though The sun will rise and set until you finally realize it. Dear child, Do aim high and find a purpose, do love your host country with all your might, for there is surely light at the end of the…
