The Brightest

 Yeah, there's oceans and mountains and even the stars, but me, me... I'm in love with the Moon.

Tell them

Do people know how important they are to us? 

Do we forget to say it out loud to them? 

Do we carry love inside of us, for them, but forget that they cannot hear the voice between our ears or the thud of our heart?

Say it. Say it now. Say it so they hear it.

Slow

 they say that if there's no flowers or dates, 

then there's no point because he isn't trying.

they say that you should walk away because there 

is someone out there wanting to be with you, 

who will be better with you. 

sometimes though, it is quiet but there's no hurry, 

there's only time to find each other. 

and that does scare me a little. 

this investment of time and trust, and the patience needed.

someone once said, things rushed never last.

i understand this now.

i don't wish to rush. i wish to trust.

i want to wait, and walk.

and just say we get to the end,

and it doesn't work out,

that'll be okay too because the journey - the lesson,

the memories were with you.

Selene

Waning and waxing, ebbs and tides, physical and internal. Pull me closer to you.

Pure

Morning light is pure. It settles on everything, gently saying "Hey wake up now. Look how beautiful today is going to be."

A three tofu day

I hope today is a better day for you. 

I hope you are happier inside. 

I hope you realise that you do not need anybody's validation to be heard or seen. 

I hope you realise that you are a writer, a poetess. 

I hope you know what that means... that your words are your own and they are not categorised as 'good' or 'not good'. They are your thoughts. They are you. 

I hope you know that one rejection does not mean you have to give up on your dream. 

I hope you believe in the power of manifestation. 

I hope you know that you will do it, you just need to picture it. 

I hope you realise that you shine bright, your eyes sparkle, your skin glows, your hair is lush and your smile is phenomenal.

I hope you know that tears are a release, cathartic, so cry when it seems too much to handle. 

I hope you enjoy your next journey of womanhood. The more you love her, the happier she will be. 

I hope you embrace your changes and nourish your body with good food and movement for your soul. 

I hope you know that despite everything that you may think is up against you, you have a beautiful life. 

Have a 3 tofu day my friend.

Cursive Love

 The beautiful art of letter writing is lost. We are now people who hold back our words and emotions for fear of rejection. We send fast and empty texts, that are abbreviated. Our words have been lost. They are devoid of love and longing. Even the art of writing in cursive is no more. There are no more letters just as there are no more lovers.
