A story in verse

The Meeting
We were meant to meet
Yes, that’s what you say
And I agree
We are like one soul in two bodies
Abundant, carefree;
Yes, that’s how I feel
When I’m with you
All the darkness within
Is vanquished
Leaving just light
Light that permeates my being
And yours
But aren’t we one?

The Catharsis
I’ve told you things
That have lived on like cobwebs in my mind
And that act
Has dusted what was once jaded
And made it real and true.
I have let go of some demons
But if I were to drive away all my demons within
Wouldn’t I also lose my angel?

Labels
Love is a misused word; often sullied
And open to misinterpretation
Casting a shadow on what was once pure and true
May the divine love I feel for you
Never be flung on rocky shores
For love is not possession
But setting each other free.

The separation
You go your way and I go mine
But when the path is the same
How does it matter where we go
We shall always be entwined
By what we once shared
Our memories aglow
With sweetness and light

The role of a creative soul

Having a creative soul Is a double-edged sword While it may bestow on its owner Proficiency with words, Only the individual knows what it’s like To feel so strongly and hurt inside. But the story I tell Has to be about things turning out well Else you may close your eyes and ears To shut out the vehemence Calling it rebellion Because victims are not appealing Who wants to hear about a glass ceiling? Or #mansplaining No one cares about your feelings! When blood spatters On the inside of your TV screen You close your eyes and scream But there are millions of human beings Slaughtered every day And what about animals? Where do I begin? What is the definition of an animal anyway? A little lamb gamboling on your garden? Or a terrorist dropping bombs on innocent civilians? #YouDecide Once you make up your mind That there’s sickness that’s rife The question will arise What can you do to create change? It’s more than a hashtag ...

#Colours

Perspectives change Over time People change their colours at will Like chameleons in the garden Or like rainbows in the sky Except that such sights in nature are a joy to behold While in humans it is not
