I stopped sending you letters
on your wedding day
Still, I keep writing
In my mind, you are still my loyal reader
Dreams are the cubby-house I built for us
where our memories live

If I am asked to explain myself to you,
you don’t know me as much as you thought.
Magaya
Meet me in Magaya
on the hottest summer day
in your yellow sundress
and fedora straw hat
Let’s cool down
by the windows
watching the ferries
coming into Paros Bay
while sipping Sangria
and Watermelon Agua Fresca

Money is the best way to eliminate friends.
Memory
It was your birthday yesterday
We would have popped a bottle of bubbly
To toast to your ageless beauty
And our friendship
I would have gifted you a big bunch of sunflowers
We would have laughed the infectious laughter
And giggled to some lame jokes
Or neither of us remembered the punch line
I miss you
And the days I’ll never have
With you
In my life
Support
When you are hurting
I want to be your pillow on the starless and sleepless night
Soft, quiet and ready for hugs
Death to Life
WordPress for its frustrating format updates, website glitches, but when it comes to a sense of community and support, I am here to stay.
When I was uninspired and nibs-dry, Benjamin and Bree worked their creative magic to collaborate with me. Here is the poem we wrote together. Bree produced the audio. I hope you enjoy this little piece of reading words and friendship, more importantly, remember to reach out to each other if you need a little inspiration and TLC. 🌻💚
Is there any life inside this brittle heart of mine
I am cracked to the core
All my light has leaked out
I cry out for nourishment
Someone to restore
A desert flower thirsting for rain
A deadwood feeling lost in a spring forest
The craving for life intensifies
In a world of splendid landscape
On my shoulders I carry the weight of suffering
Oceans of sadness and mountains of pain
A gazillion negatives that lead to unnamed anxieties
Pure darkness seemingly the only respite
And yet
Sunrise delivers a new day
Rain brings forth tiny sprouts
New life stirs within me
Signalling the promise of growth
I reach out to the light of life
Pushing onwards towards hope
Nude Sketch
I practice pencil drawing as a hobby with no real foundational skills. This is about friendship with fellow blogger Rob from Friends without Borders instead of showcasing my art work.
I did this sketch based on a picture Rob provided to me. It took me almost a year to complete it. It’s not because I am a slow sketcher. It’s because a life event stopped the project for over ten months. I was glad that I completed (the best I can) by the end of 2023.
Thank my friendship with Rob!
Blue and White Porcelain
The blue and white porcelain
Reminds me of your eyes
You made evey floral print dress
Look beautiful
Remember my wardrobe was filled
With black, white, cream and grey
You gifted me
Floral print scarves
Van Gogh’s sunflowers
And almond blossoms
Now I wear floral print dresses
In memory of you
And our friendship
The blue and white porcelain
Reminds me of your eyes
Long shut into your rest
