No Mourners, No Funerals.

I haven't been posting much at all recently, only because I haven't been feeling myself lately. But sometimes that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Ever pause to realise how much you've changed? There are some days I'm overwhelmed with emotion, the girl I once knew has perished. A new woman is before this mirror of mine waiting to seize the day.

Renewal is only natural. In this present moment we're all evolving with such speed and such ferocity - every detail is a blur.

That beautiful phrase - "stop and smell the roses" reminds me of this. It reminds me that we're all in this fast-paced race, our attention is always on what is to come. Whether that be dinner or the next assignment to feat.

Change is never a bad thing, we don't just need to evolve... we rely on it.

Accept your changes, transform into the person you want your children to be one day. Place everything into perspective, every detail is always worth a second glance.

Smell the roses, run through the fields. Be free.

Saints & Theives

I know it's the oldest lesson in the book, but is having it all really account for anything?

I used to think stuff could make me happy, food could make me happy, a relationship could paint a smile on my face; but it turned out none of those things have, did or ever could.

Some might think it selfish to focus on oneself in this situation but honey, you enter this world alone and you will die alone. People will fill that middle chunk of your life and paint colourful whispers of ink on your canvas.

But In the end, it's just you. Learn, try to be the best person you can, I'll post for the rest of my life - blog and advise until my fingers bleed but not one word will make a difference unless I believe every letter, every word that I type. So I start with me, because I know I'm a wreck, I know I know little to nothing about everything, I know how weak I can become - so I work on myself.

Just me, because figuring yourself out is the first step to literally anything - most of all influencing the people you know, you love for the better.

One person has the power to change the world, it always begins with one. What will you learn about yourself, now?

Blemished Perfection

He will never feel my cool cheeks

or the softness of my skin

He will never see an unblemished face

or a light in my eyes.

But he will feel the tenderness of my touch

hear the music of my poetry

Beauty, we're all fools for it

Like the moth that fly into

fire

Damsel’s in the Dark

As I sit here and type, I wonder of the meaningless stream of words bleeding like a fountain pen from my fingertips. Why am I here? poised on my non-existent rump, I watch    I wait       I linger for a shriek in the dark, a damsel’s piercing scream to wake me from this trance. My fingers know my keyboard more than any man’s face, my hands understand a novels spine more than any man’s heart. I live alone, I love alone I am drenched in the safety of aloneness and I revel. A half-lived life, is it worth living? A glass half empty is still worth another sip. The days pass like a game of chess, one move, a player at a time. Choose wisely, understand your opponent Who will utter Checkmate first?

Faultless

The wheel turns, nothing is ever new

The promise of love the pain of loss and the joy of redemption

There’s something so beautiful in the perception of the perfect.

Unflawed, unmatched being the impossible excites, adds flavour to our bland daily

But perfection isn’t real The unflawed is the unattainable Counting those imperfections It’s okay.

It’s okay to feel the way you do

Embrace yourself because in the end You are all you really Truly, have.

Thunder

During times like these All I wish for Is to melt into my novels Drip like syrup Into each word

I’ve decided To construct my own heaven My library, a garden

A studio Lined with Elvis posters Stacked with records Vinyl, 80’s spirit

The past, the present We belong to the words we say together.

We belong to the light We belong to the thunder.

Let us read Together.

Let’s Melt Together.

B. U

Love and Lust have nothing in common

So easily confused for the same honey sweet nectar.

The forbidden juice we all long for a sip.

Tame your thunderous tides. Calm your seas.

He loves us all the same.

Don’t chase what wasn’t meant

To be.

Lazarus

Sometimes it takes a book, a movie a friend to realise you’re in pain.

Days, weeks, months of covering up a blood spouting scarred tear of your breaking heart.

It takes just a moment to see, the truth.

But then it disappears again.

Like the flashing silver of a spinning coin.

Keep those eyes wide open Don’t slip Awaken.
