Self care

Walk bare foot
In a park. Have tea.
Try different types. Green, Red
And of course white.
Morning paper, watered plants.
Sticky notes. Neatly arranged.
One crooked.
Hum Songs. Long showers.
Movies. That make you cry.
Memories. That make you smile.
And be sad.. a little.
Piano lessons. Someday.
Own Studio. Colour all over.
Diaries… some pain.
Write letters.
Books, Wednesday evenings.
Pastry, Sunday afternoons.
Solo breakfast.. Saturday morning.
Rains and window stares.
Transparent cups and tea leaves
Floating.
Slow pop. Dance alone.
Love. Kiss.
Love till the other loves.
Love when they leave.
But don’t hold on.
Believe.
Call over friends.
Read them stories. And serve them tea.
Some cookies.
Write.
Pack your bags, travel.
Near. Far. Within.
Without.
Solo. With people.
Love. Hate. But never show.
Cigarettes when you write.

Write. Write. Write.

Hiraeth

At the end of the disaster that swept Our streets with the twilight And seeped into our hearts  Like the moonbeams, What remained was a patch of purple On my dress. It was not your purple... It was of a mindful kid who drew blossoms of lavender on everything On my copies, my walls My dress. Yet why does a purple patch  Like the twilight And the disasters  Remind me of  times  That never were.

you should have been there..

I  was dealing with depression and family responsibilities, yet trying to heal from trauma but you chose to leave me right then. Right when, I was gathering up courage , courage to finally owe up to a 7 year slow burn for you, waiting for you to finish your career goals when you left me. And not even a word before the final hour. Not even a warning , but a blow. I have loved you since the first day I met you.. since the first trip I took with you. Since the time we stared at a moonlit mountain together. You were a rock, my anchor. The day it all ended, I told my friend... I feel like a rudderless anchorless boat.. As I suffer through my personal troubles now, my failing health, I wish .. and I rage.. and I scream internally... YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE. And although you never promised anything, it seems weird now that it was all me and zero of you in there.
