Poem: Sugar Rush

A spell of syrup

at the bottom of a cup –

a rush of nausea at

a sudden sugar blast –

I wash down coffee

with a wave of taking

too much on at once:

too much of a sugar rush.

Relearning Love

I wanted the sparks and electricity that I read about, now the idea of a love that reaches me through layers of anxiety and self-doubt seems more appealing.

Falling in love is not my style. Even if you hold hands and fall off a ledge you up traversing a majority of the journey alone. Love, to me, is about growing- growing together, for each other and to cherish each other.

Love is depicted in red, pink and more but to me love is the sky during sunset when the pink hues of the setting sun mix with the blue sky signalling the end of another day.

Love is no longer about the excitement, it’s about comfort, of waking up to the person you love.

But maybe love is finally looking into the mirror and seeing myself for everything I already am without wishing, for even a split second, that I could be someone else.

I wrote a poem inspired by black swan by bts... check it out

HERE

in the eye of the tornado it all feels everlasting

swirling winds, endless destruction,red snow

bruised minds and broken hearts

one day, it all ends. everything goes

Another dawn, a dusk bringing home

light pouring into brittle souls and bright eyes

What doesn’t wane in the blistering dark

only shines brighter under golden hues

In an instant we’re bursting in technicolor

those wounds still bleed blue but

the pinks I see heal the stings a smidge

marooned hearts painted a new shade

blinding lights, glistening faces all around

Wherever I wander, I return here

to words that hold my blood, brain and soul

after every guttural cold on barren branches

the colour returns home to the trees

A new bloom, stemming from the pain

my lessons giving birth to newer colours

each a unique crescendo of healing

What a way be

What a life to live

Saddled up with sure things

Everything to give

Solace in a daydream

Destruction in their arms

Gambling on playthings

Falling over charm

Warm me up on the beach

Left my love on the seats

Reconvene in the sheets

All you have belongs to me

Ask me, I don't love you

Hold me, I might start to

Kiss me now, I need you

I’ll do what she can’t do

I’ve forgotten how to exist

Praise not earned, just gambled and played

So I can tear my hair and stare in vain

I am here, but I am not

And I think I never was

You can find me behind my false consolation

And in peace leave my pathetic self to rot

I wish to dream

I wish to learn

I wish to admire the stars that burn

I wish to be able to wake my soul

And discover how to set my soul ablaze

It is better to burn in visceral pain

For having shone at all

Than watching fractured ice and stone decay 

A witness as a life’s worth falls

I’ve forgotten how to exist

In more than just being

I’ve lost the thought of the concept of thought

I have tricked myself into belief that I’m alive

A flash of my eyes proves the opposite

I live, but I do not

And I think I never did

I hide behind a wrinkled smile

The skin around my eyes smooth as silk

I wish to laugh

I wish to live

I wish to experience all the small things

I wish myself to return to the moon

A loon, la lune et moi, on nous adore

I must return to her, and to me

Sanity is the constant I can’t reach

The bridge of the weak heart within

Washed away by a river of sin

Each drop of numb, bland water on me

To cleanse me of emotion and of pain

My mind is not mine to claim anymore

My wounds licked clean, my bruises sore

As the strike digs deep my hurting core

And I do not know who I am anymore
