sol

restoration from the rawness
of murkiness and bitter cold

oh, sunshine!
my heart weeps
none in your presence

within your luminosity
i am reawakened,
empowered

my liveliness
and playfulness bestowed.

a dispensation of gratitude
for the miraculous ways

in which you
harmonize my soul

just me

ive made a cluster of indiscretions
been a super bitch, at times
and allowed my pride to swallow common sense

these elements have shaped my character into the person i am today
therefore,
i am free of regrets

lotus

a single lotus
originating from the illusion of darkness
my soul reaches to heaven
as my beauty unfolds

each moment the sun kissed my forehead
i find peacefullness awaiting there

the sacred mother,
reflecting the lake
purifying body and mind

despite my home in muddy waters
i am free from earthly attachments

ice queen

she radiates
evervesant light
whispers of haunting tales

her mineral beryl eyes
shine in mystic observation
shreds cloaks of webbed fabrication

she appears benumb,
captive
crystallized

unmoved by manipulations

just because

just because i smile
doesn't mean there isn't pain

just because im nice
doesnt mean being naive

just because im sensitive
doesnt mean i am weak

just because you tell me no
doesnt mean i will shrink

and just because you're reading this
doesnt mean anything at all
