She sought awareness
for the hurting children
She sang justice
for the silenced lips
She protested
for the God given free will
She was cancelled
before the cancel culture
She is at peace
in her Creator’s arms

Farm Life
Denise’s Six sentence story prompt – Grid
They sat in the dark of the farm house they purchased, perhaps on impulse, in the middle of winter.
He was no cave man and could not make fire with sticks and stones. She wasn’t much of a homemaker and forgot to shop for a lighter or a box of matches.
When they both worked as executives, they had personal assistants to run errands and organise things for them. The idea of organising the connection of electricity and internet service had never crossed their mind.
Their dream of living off the grid farm life died on that freezing cold night, with snowflakes falling like soil the mourners threw on top of a coffin.
A Novel About Love
Waiting for your book release
The print will smell like your intelligence
The words will feel like love
If I read them aloud
it will sound like your heartbeat
Trust the Process
Little tiny numbers
Some needed a magnifying glass
to be visible
Small brush strokes
of hues
fit in jagged boundaries
It was seemingly mundane
and yet therapeutic
When it’s completed
I marveled at
its intricate beauty
I’ve learnt to trust
the process
designed by
the creator
When did I write about love last?
Open field of lavenders
decorated with purple dreams
filled with smoky scent
from the sprigs
broken between our skin
Perhaps
that’s enough
to make the moon
pregnant
Colourless
What if
I don’t see a
a blue sky
through all the grey tears
What if
rain is more than
appreciation
non stop till
it floods the land
and I don’t see
green hills
What if
the spring flowers
lose their vibrancy
the autumn leaves
fade in a flash
winter overatays
my welcome
What if
black is too supressing
white is too bland
and grey always
colours my soul
Blindness
Jealousy, insecurity
cast over logic
like blindness
Venom spills over
from your heart
onto your fingertips
Abusive words dance
along with nonsense
message after message
I cannot
make a blind woman see
Only God can
Shut out the white noise
Peace is with me
