Supernova

Is the word that comes to mind, when I think of us and how we were ...

Right from the start

Intense, bright, all consuming

It was immediate; the desire to love each other and be with each other

Like a Supernova ...

It felt like our love burned bright enough to outshine the galaxies...

Utterly beautiful whilst it lasted ..

But ultimately not meant to burn forever

We ...

The Brave

Who love as deep as the oceans and as wide as the Earth

We ...

Who have felt the bursting joy of love ..

And piercing agony of loss

We ..

The Brave

The ones who stand up to welcome it all again

So soon, so soon ..

My heart has expanded to the moon ..

It aches for closeness when you're gone ..

Melts like honey when

we move as one

Leaps in my chest when I see your face

Peace and calm within your embrace

I'm scared my madness will leak out from the sides ... escape the parameters of my neatly drawn life

Don't let your past haunt you into becoming a ghost of your present day

Behind the mirror ..

An old card from you was caught ..

It said: 'I love you more every day' ..

Your handwriting brought back so many memories

The feeling of love and being 'cushioned' in a relationship

I believed all you said at that time

In the end I didn't trust a word

17 months single

The longest time in my life ....

Nobody's 'significant other' and nobody's wife. It's empowering and exciting!

To feel free to do what I choose ..

But society points it's finger: "you know you're about to lose"

That's not acceptable!

You cannot enjoy sex!

Don't act a certain way; you look slutty in that dress

Can't be too smart

We're not interested in your brain ...

Keep quiet and behave ..

You'll be acceptable again

I wanted you to be what you never could

Expectations and hopes that I guess I always knew deep down ..

That you wouldn't or couldn't fulfil

It was easier to ostrich myself than realise the truth

How often we do this in life and love alike

A seed was planted

In my mind .. Long ago

Didn't know it was a weed

Wasn't thinking ..

Let it grow ...

But it spread rather quick

Camouflaged within my head...

So I'm poisoning it's roots

To grow flowers there instead

Sometimes the simplest pleasures in life can be overlooked: the sound of the kettle boiling for your morning coffee, hearing the rain on your roof when you're warm and dry inside. Always the sound of your loved ones voices when they pick up the phone. Simple things in life; beautiful treasures

I'm not closing my heart, even when bruised .. like a peach ..

I'll love it back to health ..

Not keep it away from everyone's reach

It is strange how we look for 'things' to be 'wrong' .. whilst seeking to feel 'alright' ... oh to believe that our birthright is happiness! To trust in something 'more' than our human selves .. to be peaceful in the bosom of creation

When you forget who you are ....

Look back to when you were a child .. and happiest times

Hands grubby with sludgy sand ... face beaming in the sun ..

Favourite clothes you felt so special wearing

Birthday parties and balloons ...

Christmases with grandparents

Biggest achievements with your parents looking proud

Your favourite toys ...

And remember

All of this ....

Is still you ..

Even when life has knocked you ..

Even if you knock yourself ...

You are love, you are light

It will all be alright

I'm a butterfly, not a mouse

Because I like to fly so free

No scurring to hide away ....

I wear my colours for all to see

Give give give

I've always loved to do ..

It's time to think of ME

Rather than give it all to YOU
