Vandalism of The Heart

Scratch

a tragic love ballad on a wall,

Somewhere unknown and small.

Dust and mistrust

Falls

From overhead bricks,

So carve my name into each broken surface.

Make me wish I had it all.

Silvered shine

And poetic rhymes

Of how each word I’ve spoken is a tool

To make you believe

In love and signs.

Make me wish I had it all.

I’ll never find those decaying walls.

Night

I have so much freedom

Except at night.

My hands are always tied at night.

My mind is always running away

From something

At night,

My heart always breaks

That little bit more

At night,

My eyes dart around

At night

Searching for something.

A sign maybe?

Im held within these bland walls

That force the moon under lock and key

Outside of my complicated

Window frames.

My thoughts are always bound

At night

To circles upon circles

Of meaningless thoughts

Which is why I never sleep

At night.

“Curiously Serene

And

Shrouded in moonlight,

She provides

That soft

Cosmic love

That burns alight

And leaves each of us

In a trail of dust.”

- ‘Jupiter’ by Gracie Poetry

Walk In The Park

I walk past

Womanly frames

Cut out of cold metal,

Masked hardened flames

And behind lies

a flickering

Image of potential.

It’s like looking through a

Keyhole

Having a realization that is essential.

Seeing life pass by,

Familiar and hesitant

Yet misshapen and existential;

That life is moving too fast

On the other side of these silver sheets.

A door that can be so easily opened

If you hadn’t lost the key.

All I keep thinking is

“It must be gorgeous to be inside his mind. All chaos and beauty and fire burning inside.”

“I am doing okay”

Everything feels good

Again,

Everything feels calm.

I haven’t felt that in a long time.

It’s a unfamiliar and uninterrupted

And unforgiving

Feeling.

But,

Everything feels fine

Again,

At least I think I know what ‘fine’ means.

Just going with the flow.

Just learning how to cope.

Just putting on this show.

Just trying not to feel

Broken

Inside.

But I swear that

Everything is normal again

And that I am doing okay.

Some days I listen to myself and I think

It’s sad that your sadness is your identity,

I then question myself naturally.

What does it all mean?

What does it mean to feel clean?

How can I stop myself from wanting to scream?

Too many thoughts.

Too many opinions.

Put it all on mute.

The weight that those tones hold drags me down.”

Hello, Hello friends!

Not so long time no see, eh? ✨

I’ve got so much to fill you in on!

Just here to let you know that I’m writing a poem a day... yes you read that correctly. I am writing a whole poem every single day for the month of October. It’s happening on my Instagram at the moment (@graciepoetry_) so if you want to join, please do! ✨ I am going to be posting some of my favourites from the month on this blog as well so I’m super excited about all of it! ✨

I updated the desktop version of my blog as well just in time. It’s looking pretty snazzy, right? Now all my work is in one place to find!

I also finished up an article with @adolescentcontent magazine on sustainability and ethical fashion that is currently live on their website! You know me, any chance I get to talk about sustainable fashion, I will 😝✨

How are you doing? Is it sunny where you are? How’s life treating you? I’m responding to all my inbox messages today so I can’t wait to catch up! ✨

Mhari xoxo

Blood Red Letters

I am over the background

Noise of shuffling shoes

And their spiked remarks.

To surround myself with these cascades

And flippant tongues

Is self-sabotage.

These square-cut beliefs

Of happiness are pinned up on walls

And are seething.

They leak poison.

They cover hearts.

[marsnjuno]

Between You and I

There are always moments

That are meant to be fulfilled.

Crisp-to-touch air

In a broken down car

Or rather

The space before you say goodbye;

The comfort that it could one day invite.

These moments are the precious ones,

So subtle yet so overt.

I push against them often.

An Ocean of Strangers

I am in love with the ocean

In the same way that

I am in love with strangers.

A constant sea of people passing by

Reminds me that nothing is ever

The same,

And life is always moving

Forward.

Memories come back to me in waves

And almost drown me with the

weight they hold

But I am always kept afloat by the

Commuters and the office workers,

And the teachers

And the revolutionaries

That flood this town

With light.
