poetry allows me to purge and process. its how I breathe.
this yellow, red, flowers of amberburnstrickles over as if pollen,staining the skin and any object it touches, like a vampire,leaving its teeth in skin,leaving the blood to leak from the site of shock,from the site of the bite,leaves it pink and purple,like bruise marks, in unexpected places,found later,during the hunt, the blue lagoons,the waters of Dark […]
heart pained in every corner of itself,this soft, tender, piece of myself,that aches,that keeps shedding up its self to purify,to sanctify the waters,these lagoons of sweet water, cleaning me of all that isn’t mine,of the density of europe,the land of sins and blood,of war and hell,a place so disconnected from truth,where there is no wild tree […]
there it is, What they stole from Me,Those Summer Days,That weren’t really real,but were the Best I could See Well,They were the Glorious moments,Where I had the landscape, and could see the Potential, But continuously grieved the Absence of it, It was strange, but inherently, I knew something was wrong,Even when I knew no better, […]
The feminine, the inner divine energy. Repressed for long and it can leave you empty, exhausted, like the light has switched off. Your passion depleted. Your body emptier, physical not entirely there, spirit retreated where all the souls go to rest. Reignited, and you have a wild woman running with the wolves. You have the […]
rub the hurt out of my skin,wash the oil out of my hair,scrub the nerves into a calm state,heaving while screeching every morning,knee’s bent, seething,an illness that is just not visible to the eye,A lie they think,as I scream from the internal scarring,womb a chamber of memory, a cave of secrets, repression, and golden nectar,I […]
Releasing ancestral pain,From the generations of women that came before me,Is like breaking down boulders,One stone at a time, every rock charged up like fire,Carrying emotional torment, unloving mothers and husbands,bodies that are not their own, birthing children at the expense of their own skin,losing education, losing humility,there is no relation left with yourself when they […]
Within my innermost bones is a warrior,Fighter blood runs through me like paint being spread over canvas,I let the tears baptise me, drape me and form a waterfall for a crown,I am a creation of God, of a Higher Power, of Love,I am made out of blood, sweat and colonisations,Out of village girls bleeding from […]
I grew up around women who were never enough,Men would call them “too much” women,Women who adorned themselves in gold,would use the higher power in libation to bless themselves and partners,But it was never enough,These women who dressed their hair in flowers,who swung their hips to the heat of the summer,Casbalanca would be hidden between […]
too open minded,too fat,too thin,laughs to loudly,clumsy,too private,too open,eats too loudly,reads quran too muchthinks too muchsleeps too much,doesn’t eat enough,eats too much,gyms too much,depressedtoo happy,no hips,too much hips.too little skin,too much skin,hair too short,hair too long,too black,too brown,skin too fair,skin too tanned,speaks to too many boys,doesn’t speak to enough boys,time to get marrieddon’t speak to […]
We shouldn’t born children into worlds that form like clams,We shouldn’t train these children to lose their wombs,to Men who train them to be soldiers,in homes more like Prisons,where Pearls don’t form out of pressure and pain,instead black thorns are found in bitter places,with sticks and stones and bitter bones,Mothers who’s own bodies decide to […]
