Do dogs smell colours?
The intricacies of a ladybird
and relationships with the leaves
over which they glide
Particles of hope and optimism
The mindset shifting
From the inside
There’s so much more than we
ever know
Bubbles of energy
rubbing up against one another
Peace and deep sadness
All the everythings
Wishing for more time
Present in a moment
That you were always outside of
Shaping your life
to be how you want it to be
Do dogs smell colour?
I want to explore
This is our time
All the layers that aren’t in
our consciousness
Dogs they feel the energy
Gentle and, never, unkind
When fear can send me
spiralling
As my body pops, arm
to leg
Why did you make me colourblind?
What lights me up
What changes my face
What makes me smile
from my eyes
and inwards
Serenity
Not for the performance
of it
But, outdoors
and writing
The moment of inspiration
is when I shine
One day, you just notice you feel slightly more Alive - hope, different variation of the same (poem version)
Relegated
How incredible it is when
possibilities reach in and
grab you by the heart
Comfortable, certainty, that
the world I’ve been so closed off from,
can be open for me
It feels like an awakening
and, for so long, it was dark
I could see
Blurs of clouds
And lighter, on explosions
that feel so simplistic
and obvious (now)
From, down deep
I’m worthy of connection
My enoughness
accepts this peace
Following my words
Following my words
Knowing I’m one person
But my instinct feels so
calmly, loud
Twisted into the absurd
My psyche wanted to fly
Didn’t want to be a ‘pretty’ bird
My psyche, expelled and ignored
Felt deflated
Dumped, on others,
an angry herd
Sweating to show parts of me, they already didn’t accept
My calm, projects
(I don’t reject)
Do they deserve all of me?
When they didn’t want the rest
Give pieces, that I carve out
My chest feels like a shiny penny
When it used to feel like lead
