In a world of “entanglements”, I’m reminded of this piece from 8yrs ago, edited to better capture the essence of what love is or should be. 🙂

God Theory ~ SM
What if I told you, you are God? That the words in our holy books bear common themes and threads because we heard the same message in different languages and our interpretations gave birth to the "stories" we study today? Really, what if I told you God was you? That giving in His house simply … Continue reading God Theory ~ SM
Unreal ~ SM
I dream of being with you Of meeting you at the point where hills heel and mountain tops touch the snow I dream of waking next to you At the hour past last light and the second between the sun’s rise and its highest crest I dream of dancing with you Under stars lit with … Continue reading Unreal ~ SM
A Night Time Prayer ~ SM
I dream of you Of touching your face and finding shelter in your embrace I dream of sharing my stories with you Each line from a book you wrote before the stars had their names I dream of listening to your whys and how comes Of the paths you carved for me and the pitfalls … Continue reading A Night Time Prayer ~ SM
She Calls Me Mama ~ SM
I board the shutters and hiss at the cold winds that taunt the night air On hands and knees I check for threats of nightmares living under bed springs I kiss warm cheeks and wish sweet sleeps even as my ghosts surround me waist deep The dawn's light races with my consciousness and records its … Continue reading She Calls Me Mama ~ SM

A Feminist’s Plea ~ SM
Why do you see me as strange This thing you do, I do it too Well, maybe not exactly as you You see, my path has been different We don't wear the same size shoes Or I'd ask you to step in mine Feel the rhythm and take measured steps And maybe recognise That you … Continue reading A Feminist’s Plea ~ SM
Cold Hands ~ SM
When cold hands wave and stretch outward Will you be there waiting on the other side? Each time the story is told, I hear the voices that beg me bold They say you’ve got too much to do That I have nothing to lose if I care less about you Sometimes I believe, I accept … Continue reading Cold Hands ~ SM
Raising The Bar ~ SM
When the goal seems further than you can see When night drops its curtain at your window sill When the crickets chirp in the distance signaling the silence all about When you think it’s over When you think it’s done That’s when you start afresh with the sun on your mind That’s when you light … Continue reading Raising The Bar ~ SM
