I hum in your ear and you begin to settle into your slumber
I asked Him to send me a blessing
I asked Him to give me an experience of indescribable love
That in every breath you take all my dreams have come true
I held you in my arms for the first time I knew
Life is a composition of reflections understood backward
-The alchemy of Life
I would rather live in your memories than in your arms
Arms are mortal
You are the answer to all my life’s questions
I wade along the shores of your enchantment
Obediently I give chase
The sores under my feet give way and I take refuge on the street
Where once again
Yet
I can run no longer so I stop
I open my eyes
The shores of your enchantment
No less than the trees anchored by the roots of your life’s experience
When the wind of life blows your way
generation to generation
To till your mind and guide you through the journey of your life
Listen to the wisdom of those who hold their pain in silence
Tear down the walls you have built around your heart
Do not search for love
My silence shelters the weight of your spoken words
Others rising to the fountain of my eyes
Words are real
Where they shall remain the lone token of all our unrealized forever after’s
No one damages you more than the voices inside your head
Your wounds
Your fears
You
have
Be
-Manifestation
Each scar is a teacher to no more than its owner
How does it feel to love someone forever?
Does it feel like for the first time someone sees your innards and
What if to love someone forever is the feeling of familiarity that we have met before
At another place
What if it feels like a power greater than you and I has re-united us?
But what I know for certain is that
But I know we will always be forever
Will you understand what it means to be in love
If we never see one another again
I forgive you
I forgive you for words you never said
More importantly
I hope you remember me fondly
Today
I can no longer live with your shadow
With all our memories
With all that we will never be
Ones which I will work to fulfill
Today, I choose me
Move out
Ask her out
Delete that conversation
Say your dreams out loud
Love yourself
Take the loan to start your life’s next chapter
I broke barriers to be with you
But you never came
I broke into tiny fragments incapable of piecing back together
She is tall
She carries mountains on her shoulders with
Circumstances do not break her
But her heart remains soft
Someone being patient with you
Sometimes you can stand in a crowd and feel alone
A lost world waiting to be found
When you no longer compromise or betray
Your trauma is valid even if you never told anybody
I respect your decision to never look back
Now
You must respect my decision to choose never to take you back
You must respect that what we had was in the past and
You have lost
You have failed
You have sighed
But you never quit
But there will be new beginnings
If not in this lifetime
Let us meet again
In a fairy tale that ends in our happily ever after
-Unconventional Highs
Is somewhere between silence and knowing when to be silent
There is empathy
We have been conditioned to believe
We are told
Those pings of discomfort are a signal that something in your life has to change
To not do anything about it is not ok
She becomes a mother
Mothers are His servant and
The basic unit of life is memory
It falls on the surviving pieces of her heart
To pass forward her memories and
Our final destination
Breaking a good woman’s heart is deeper than you realize
It destroys her future relationships
Detachment does not mean you should not own worldly possessions
And never allowing attachment to consume you
It does not mean you were wrong for giving
You refused to dim your light
He shuffled his deck and
A
Clear is kind
-Warning Sign
Her hands
-His memories
But I am not out
If I speak my truth my tongue will burn
-Love Letter from the Broken Hearted
But flashbacks from your past will periodically arise
You did the best you could
Let your soul build and edit these cataloged life experiences
The fire of my past was worth each ember
Your love language represents the thing you did not get when you were younger
You did them perfectly
The type of kindness that consumes the giver and the taker
That the word recovery means
Can hurt you again
That there is always something bigger and grander to achieve
Giving your authentic voice permission to allow
What if the best version of you is who you are in this moment right now?
You cannot trust that someone will not betray you
You will take the decision that puts you first
Love is the desire to work towards the betterment of all things
Forgiveness is a form of letting go
You choose to not let the experience of being hurt
And infect your soul with bitterness
Sounds corny to the person who fears rejection
Sounds corny to the person who continues to hurt from a past hurt
Your fear is holding you back from writing the greatest chapter of your story
Temptation lures you to the wander of possibilities and potential spoils to be had
There are moments in your life where
The weight of giving up will begin to look inevitable
Do yourself one favour
Give yourself one more day
You are conditioned to collect material things for the purpose of
When those wants change
In the pursuit to own and un-own
Standing still
Age gleans its wisdom and
Enjoy the space between the something old and something new
Be clear to yourself
or
There is something to be learned from everybody
To experience pain does not mean it is your kismet
Despite carrying its dull ache
Keep moving
But
The Wrong turns
The Fire
You will leave behind as stories told long after you have departed
To choose a life partner is as equal of a choice as
You will not be understood by everybody
It does reflect your listener’s inability to allow challenge their construct of their reality
You will set yourself free from the grips of expectation
Your hard work
and
Be grateful to those who helped you along your way
Fill a glass with water
Pick up the same glass a second time
Continue to do so six times until you reach sixty seconds
You choose to pick up the glass
Your healing process must acknowledge that
No one is moving fast
But everyone is moving
Let practice make progress
Achievement is the cumulative result of all the turns along the way
It feels like each part of your body, mind, and soul shatters into pieces from which
It is the feeling of a never-ending fall into insanity and you’re not sure
Your joints hurt
Your mind is blank
not
Whatever you feel
Feel it
Acknowledge it
You have every right to process heartache as you wish
Come back
Love can be taught to feel painful
They cannot be separated from one another
Can you accept the existence of love and pain as
or
Unprocessed pain and
From generation to generation
Correct ineffectual styles of communication
In choosing to address generational trauma
I will take care of me for you
You may mourn a loved one
You may mourn a life partner
Not let your grief remain present in your life
It is not designed to make decisions for you
I saw her in a crowded room when our eyes locked for what felt like an eternity.
She would be the woman with whom I would spend the rest of my life.
It’s the end to the keeper of all your secrets
It’s an end with a person who is no longer your rock
Some friendships are better played out in silence
After which they retire to allow someone else to step in to
There is no shame in leaving behind a friendship which has run its course
Unexplainable fatigue
Shallow breathing
Our body is a temporary storage site of
By not allowing your brain sufficient time to thoroughly
You will continue to block parts of your brain from thinking about
Those memories will remain caged in your body and
Glean into what your body is trying to release
Sometimes when you are in a dark place
When actually you have been planted
Cares about what they have done to you
Cares how they made you feel
I give you my utmost respect
I will demand mine
No matter what happens in your life
-Fighter
Does not translate into what they will do for you
Healthy relationships do not have space for the labels of giver and taker
The most dangerous word that someone suffering in silence hears is
At least you have one child
At least you are still young
Do not underestimate the power of slow growth and slow progress
Depression which is managed is a message from your body
Depression that is managed is your body telling you
Depression that is managed is your body forcing itself into a state of rest
Tired of playing
To your life’s centre stage
Whatever pain you experience will last
A few days
Maybe a few years
When you stay stuck
You were not raised to stay stuck
Shouldering the direction of life
It is like walking through a fog
To turn when you resume walking
Will get you to where you want to be
What you know is that you must keep moving
-Fatherhood
I never forgot you
You are my days
You are my today
You are my forever
With gentility, openness, and honesty
When you step into your suffering
Gradually over time
You notice yourself becoming a better person
Good people into your life
in your wound is your power to heal
It feels like being suspended in mid air
When you left me
Where I remain suspended to this day
I never wanted to leave
I took a decision which you may not understand
-Dignity
You don’t need more of this
What you need to be is
In order to get good at something
To get better is in showing up when you would rather not show up at all
Waking up and
Do not under-estimate the value of your burdens and your responsibilities
One day those pressures of life will shine their light
Will walk further than
You will never achieve anything greater than your highest aspiration
A person who says they can and
Are both right
There is a difference between someone who hurt you by mistake
Hurt caused from a mistake can be forgiven
Memories will find you
How to Spot the Truth 101:
their life more
Pain is weakness leaving your body
A community is as good as its weakest
The mighty are meek
Deserve it the least because they are the ones who need it the most
Sit beside me
These long nights are meant to be spent with you
What your best looks like will vary day to day
Everyday.
I sleep a lot
Just the thought of coming back to you is warm
You are the dream that I never want to end

Your soft cries call for me to attend to you without delay
I hum in your ear and you begin to settle into your slumber
Each part of you is a marvel of the Creator
I asked Him to send me a blessing
I asked Him to fill my heart with fullness
I asked Him to give me an experience of indescribable love
Looking at your tiny hand wrapped around my finger I know
That in every breath you take all my dreams have come true
When our nine months were done and
I held you in my arms for the first time I knew
I sang you down from the stars
Life is a composition of reflections understood backward
But built from a collection of experiences lived forward
