This time last year I was lucky enough to be travelling around Colombia. Even with my (and my mother’s) pre conceptions about this cultured and historical country, I knew I was going to learn so much from it and the people there. Although it was a rocky start being so out of my comfort zone,Continue reading “Everyone Smiles in the same Language”

Stay
I am trying so hard Not to want to be in your arms, And for the weeks that feel like forever I will pray that we are together, Because you mean so much more Than whatever I’m searching for, And I don’t know if it’s real But whatever I feel, I feel. I will seeContinue reading “Stay”
A Great Stranger
Last year I was travelling in Peru with my best friend. Unfortunately that (what seemed to be) everlasting friendship came to an end earlier on this year and now I have albums of memories I’m not sure whether to look at with love or bitterness. I suppose it would still be love. Anyway. I haveContinue reading “A Great Stranger”
The Night Shift
Tiredness lurks in every cell of my body, Yet I am forcing my eyes to stay seeing, my ears to stay hearing and my heart to stay beating, For I have left you in the midst of my slumber and the start of your waking, Yet I am not ready to leave for an unconsciousContinue reading “The Night Shift”
To a Friend
It seems like the world is running away, And leaving you here, lonely, to stay. But I promise you that more is coming In each morning sunrise, smiling, breathing. For those who want more for another than they do for themselves, Will never be left in silent dwell, But will be given a home inContinue reading “To a Friend”
A Tribute to Normal People
On a clouded day in the month of May, I walk over to your house The white front and huge pillars can’t cast a shadow over you, and I move closer than allowed Your dark brown eyes and yellow jumper like the sun, makes me think I should look away But all I want isContinue reading “A Tribute to Normal People”
Uncertainty.
The world works in ways that even the brightest scholars don’t understand, nor in ways that even ghosts can see. Let’s indulge in the idea of blissful ness, because as humans we are so blissfully ignorant to a world that we claim to know. We claim to know that when light and water hit theContinue reading “Uncertainty.”
The Mountain Top
The dense water wrapped in around both sides. To the north, the water was a deep dark blue, black in the centre posing what could have been some of the darkest species of the oceans. To the south, high banks, shallow sands and clear water navigated into pools embellishing the landscape with golden hues. SheContinue reading “The Mountain Top”
Stars
The sky is full of stars Opening up the heart Like the skies of me open up to those on looking In the silent mysterious morning, breathing With the music playing and the mind wandering To the stories told so long ago About the future of us all here now What is mine? Should IContinue reading “Stars”
The time you were mine
I will hold on to that flower The one you gave me that time Because I feel it’s the only thing left From the time that you were mine. I still hold on to that feeling The one of you holding my hand You were holding it so tightly Like you thought i was goingContinue reading “The time you were mine”
