Wilderness

When you take over and I yield to you,
The rush of this wilderness arrests all taboo.

Take in my beauty, I've given in, you've won.
Hold me down and let your pride turn me on.

As you find your way inside my depth,
Rain awakens me to trace your steps.

What's at stake with a Mistake

Image
Samples in plain sight for all to see, examples of how not to be, Using the wrong tools for the right work, All stupidity I should have rather shirked, How could I avoid a mistake in the first place? Good and bad were so well interlaced , So many slight actions, slight signs, slight words, Hello! Something's wrong here! I always find myself being nice, then I look back and say, I should have thought twice, work-analyse-regret and again work-analyse-regret, Seems like a chain of actions that repeats itself, and then I fret and forget, I can see a pattern emerging here, It is replete with passiveness and fear, although there is a superhuman within, I fail to feed it and it grows thin, Took a chance on something and someone that seemed remotely worthwhile, I took to heart, useless feeedback ,with a forced smile. Didn't know where to run, didn't know where to hide I saw smiling faces all around me, yet I sensed that there was going to be a landslide, I needed to break this cycl...

Eyes Wide Shut

Eyes wide open, crying Heart thought things would work out, at the start, Tears of sadness, piercing stone When he left her, she felt all alone. Love of her life, gone away, Her sole wish was that he'd stay. She moved herself to get to him, But,it made no difference since he'd already been taken. She'd give him everything he wanted, She wanted him to be happy with her, life would be sorted. But, there were others who vied for him, He'd let them fall for him and the fools rushed in. From amongst the sadness, The past also held moments of gladness, Laughter and smiles abounded whilst she basked in his presence, She sang, danced and learnt some important life lessons, She wanted to be his gift, His muse that guarateed an instant mood lift, If he'd want her to let go, she'd willingly comply because she wanted his dreams to soar sky high Then confusion ensued and care was lost, Energy and wasted time was the blatant cost, She still couldn't see with her eyes wid...

If the Mountain Seems Too Big Today.....

If the mountain seems too big today  then climb a hill instead; If morning brings you sadness  it’s okay to stay in bed.  If the day ahead feels heavy and your plans feel like a curse,  There’s no shame in rearranging,  don’t make yourself feel worse. If a shower stings like needles  and a bath feels like you’ll drown; If you haven’t washed your hair for days,  don’t throw away your crown! A day is not a lifetime. A rest is not defeat. Don’t think of it as failure, Just a quiet, kind retreat.  It’s okay to take a moment From an anxious, fractured mind. The world will not stop turning While you get realigned! The mountain will still be there When you want to try again You can climb it in your own time, Just love yourself till then!                                              ...
