“There is poetry in your shadows.”

You don’t want an apology, you want relief from the pain they caused you – so be the relief they never could be.

Your greatest self lies within the hands of your inner child- the you who used to chase their shadows instead run from them.

I hope you give freely to yourself all the love, that the world told you, you have to fight for.

The magic that lives in being loved for who you are in the shadows, not just for how you appear in the light.

An angel cannot be blind to the fire below – lest she risk becoming it.

Trying to reason with the poem is precisely how you lose it.

I am one part fire and two parts passion. There is not a thing that could put me out.

Even when I’m alone, I am whole.

Aligning with your divine feminine is aligning with your openness to your highest good.

The greatest love your body can know lies within it, not outside it.

What sinks carves path for what’s meant to rise – what is buried gives way to new life.

Love lost itself in a shipwreck of two rocky souls unable to love the oceans in themselves.

I’ll plant roses in my bones as a reminder to continue watering myself.

The act of entering someone’s heart should never lock you outside of your own.

Love used to taste like you- but liberation tastes sweeter. Because it tastes like me.

There’s power in choosing to be loved.

When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images and establishing mental connections.

I don’t even have to read between my own line, the poetry speaks so loud and a little too clear.

I am no poet, but if you think for yourselves, as I proceed, the facts will form a poem in your minds.

A language is something infinitely greater than grammar and philology. It is the poetic testament of the genius of a race and a culture, and the living embodiment of the thoughts and fancies that have moulded them.

Poetry and language are often at the heartbeat of movements for change.

Poetry is interesting because not everyone is going to become a great poet, but anyone can be, and anyone can enjoy poetry, and it’s this openness, this accessibility of poetry that makes it the language of people.

When you are learning through poetry how to speak English, it lends to a great understanding of sound, of pitch, of pronunciation, so I think of my speech impediment not as a weakness or a disability, but as one of my greatest strengths.

I have to interweave my poetry with purpose. For me, that purpose is to help people, and to shed a light on issues that have far too long been in the darkness.
