Free

 ....and then one day she woke up and realized that that sinking feeling had depleted,

that the sadness and longing she felt no longer existed,

that the things that once triggered her didn't,

as each memory slowly faded,

she realized that the thing she once thought she needed, she didn't...

self love had become her new focus and entertaining mediocrity was something she would no longer settle for,

she woke up and the lights came back on and shone through her eyes,

her vibrancy ignited as her soul came alive,

free from the need to be understood, she never needed your validation,

free to be herself, authentically and unapologetically. 

She was FREE.

Euphoria

 Not sure if it was the way you held my hand in yours,

or the way you cradled my heart like it was your own,

or the way you looked me in the eyes, reassuring me that it would always be alright.

Or maybe it was the way you hugged me like I was your home,

kissing my forehead, allowing me to exhale, keeping me grounded all at once,

or maybe it was your thoughtfulness,

the way you would always bring me my favourite chocolate or hot beverage,

the way you treasured the little things, like taking walks on a cool evening,

or simply sitting with me on the edge of a cliff, taking in beautiful scenery...

your smile captivated me, your unconditional love lifted me,

never have I had a love take me so high,

piercing and reaching my soul at the deepest level,

your love was simply euphoric.

She

 She changed her mind,

No longer would she pour into cups that didn't replenish her excellency,

No longer would she run on empty,

No longer would she accept the bare minimum,

No longer would she give more than was returned.

Like the change in seasons,

So was her heart transforming,

Spring had come and she remembered who she was,

She evolved.

Hey guys! I just wanted to come and share a poem with you all. I hope this inspires someone; may you always know that you deserve the same love and energy you put out into the world, and may you never settle for anything less. Take care of yourselves💛

Blind

 They say love is blind,

And I must agree,

For oftentimes it can be.

We allow that feeling so complete,

Sometimes to cloud our judgement from reality.

So never allow love,

Sometimes so overwhelming,

To prevent you from seeing clearly.

Hey guys, this is an excerpt from my poetry book "Reflections: Poems To Feed The Soul" available on Amazon. Grab a copy and exhale💛 Link below:

Fall

 I've always loved fall,

the mosaic of colours,

the trees shedding their leaves in grand unison...

the airy feeling as winter was around the corner,

the chill in the air jolting you to grab your favourite sweater,

sitting on the porch with my favourite cup of ginger tea.

But this autumn was different....

It was November 9th and little did I know I would meet the love of my life,

a love that was like the perfect love letter,

like the beauty in the changing colours of leaves,

the brown, the orange, falling from the sky in perfect harmony.

It was warm and bubbly like the hot cup of ginger tea,

and soft and comforting like the sweater that hugged me gently.

But like the transition to winter, so did this season of love change...

but every fall, I see this love in every falling leaf, every colour, every sweater and every cup of ginger.

Fall was always my favourite season.

True Love

 True love is distinctive...there are just no words you can find to explain it... it's when you can be in a room full of people but the only person you see is them... when they drive you up a million walls, but you can't help but love them...when you would do anything for them...it's when you're not with them, you feel completely lost...when you close your eyes at night, and their face is all you see...when you're stuck in a daze because they're always in your thoughts...when you are so angry at them, but you can never be for too long...but even more importantly, love is commitment...being committed to that one person, through the good and the bad, the ups and the downs....that's what love is about. 

Love is honesty, telling that person the truth always and at all times, even if you know it may hurt them, because lies always hurt way more. Love is loyalty, sticking it out even though times may be bad....love is patience, sometimes the person you love may need space, give it to them.....love is forgiveness, people make mistakes...when the person you love hurts you, at first you may not be able to see beyond the pain, but it's the only way we can move forward and start fresh again. Love is generosity...when you love someone sharing should never be an issue....love is compassion...never miss an opportunity to show affection....and finally love is pure...so when you are truly in love, you love from the very depths of your soul...with everything that is within you, because you can never truly love someone if you are not vulnerable...if you don't love them with your whole heart. 

Life is about taking risks, and giving our hearts to someone is one of them, but it's a risk we have to take because yes there is a possibility that it may never work out, but if we don't take that risk, we run the chance on losing out on one of life's greatest gifts, a gift that if we're lucky, usually only happens once....and that my friend is LOVE.

Hey guys, this poem is very dear to me and so I wanted to share it with you all. My hope is that it inspires you to love, and to love purely; I hope you enjoy💛

Denial

 They will tell you they love you in secret, then make the world believe you are enemies.

They hide behind their insecurities, for fear of acceptance from a world that is constantly trying to destroy their authenticity. It's sad really.

Afraid to invest in a love that they know is real, a connection so undeniable it can't be compared. So they pick and they prod at every flaw, they highlight everything that could go wrong, forgetting that by just taking that leap, that flight, there is a possibility that something may just go right.

So they argue, they fight, they push you away because it's easier that way. It's easier not to face those insecurities....until one day they realize that you're all they ever wanted, and the mess they created, can't be deleted...until one day they realize that you were genuine, and the love they destroyed, can't be be reinvented..... it will leave a void so deep, they will hardly be able to breathe, the grief that consumes them, will shatter them, for to lose a love so pure, a love so true, will break their heart in a way that only death can compare to....so they will yearn, they will long, but that love ...that once in a lifetime love, will be long gone.

Hey guys, just wanted to come and share a poem that acts as a gentle reminder that it is okay to be scared and love anyway. Hope you enjoy💛
