You are the hand holding me afloat when I am drowning
You are the song of my inside turmoil which turned into lyrics
You are there for me when I am pretending to be strong for the world to see
You are my dear friend, whom I wish never to take for granted
You will be there when my sad face turns into a sunflower once again
Thank you my fellow writers
The mere fact
that I can read your work here
after my absence
sparked something
in my dying creativity
If you think what you share here
do not matter
I say that you are wrong
You are so wrong
When you poured your talent and heart out into these written words
They transformed into buterflies
One landed on my windowsill
to bring me hope
Another landed somewhere to bring beauty
and so on and so forth
like a fig tree bears much fruit
Thank you for overcoming your fear to create
When you are hurting
I want to be your pillow on the starless and sleepless night
Soft, quiet and ready for hugs
Under different skies
rain threads them together
In different storylines
Characters sing to their minds
Writers write
Dreamers dream
Lovers love
They have found shelter
by knowing that
they exist
This is a collaboration with J.
Let me crawl in your blue sweater
Curl up in your grey couch
Fill this empty air with a fragrant coffee
And the simple sound of your acoustic guitar
Sit with me in my sadness
and love me as I am
I love you as you are
with cloudy eyes of pain
Harmonise your breathing
with a song
Humming in nothingness
We’ll wander without aim
My shoulder
where your soul’s laid bare
Your heart
tended with care
This is another collaboration with Bree. Do check out her written and audio poetry, you will be sated: Secret Thoughts Within
I see you sitting here all alone wondering if your worries will keep you up again tonight I hate seeing you break watching the light draining from your sunken eyes Let it wash away you were never meant to carry a burden so laden Tell me your troubles pour them out into my open heart and together we’ll break the chains of despair
I was born of murk
you believed in me
with your unwavering love
I stand tall in the storm
rise sacred and pure
