Lifestyle

Ouch he didn't text me back
I guess I got too excited 
about the sex we had

A funny lifestyle
..Im reminded of the numerous times
I try to hide the loneliness 
that lives inside

But a gentle smile appears 
Can it be my ancestors
commenting on my needs ?

Sending gestures of compassion
Sending me trust I need
to go after lifes attractions

As I sit quitely and breathe in
the hunger and the longing 
I can sense 
this acquired sense of beloning

..Im glad to be here

School

You learn to fit in

not to belong

You calculate to deliver

not to connect the dots

You're good when you score

not when you give a helping hand

You smile when you've been praised

not because you praised somebody else

You wonder why you're hard on yourself ?

You really wonder why pondering about right or wrong, 

puts you in this draining imbalance ?

Maybe it was the school

that you were supposed to be good at 

Maybe it were the teachers, 

that simply didn't know how to connect

Maybe it's this system

that keeps telling us

we didn't arrive yet..

Hearts that thrive

I reach out
cause in my humanity
I can't survive
without reminding myself
that we`re all of the same tribe

I hold my breath
when stories born
out of lovelessness
try to tear me down

But then your attentive eyes
look at me with love
and prove to me
yet another time
that I'm not alone

In our humanity
I want to rest
because your story of resilience
allows me to feel blessed

I remind myself that
the only way to transform
lies in my ability
to make you feel that you belong

You belong to me
I belong to you
We belong to this stream of life
that never stops reminding us
that only through the art of loving
will our hearts thrive

Sail with me

I'm on my way
to the island of warriors
grabbed my wisdom
and your love
and I'm sailing
through holy waters

The wind keeps reminding me
that I am more than
what my intellect pretends to be

And while I'm sailing
I feel alive
I'm so in awe with this life of mine,
in awe with my values and my visions
proving to me that
I'm on the greatest mission

I sail with all of you
I'm so proud of how you all made it through
and equipped with this powerful transparency
I inspire you are all to sail with me

Back to love

When the fear kicks in
and my skin gets thin
There is love to remember

When I can't see through
the pain I'm holding on to
There is love to surrender to

When my mind can't reach
the heart that's underneath
There is love to go back to

When my mouth enraged,
wants to call you out your name
There is love to grow into

Oh how long was I waiting
for this truth to awaken
and with tears in my eyes,
I let it pierce through this heart of mine

Come home

Come home
we've missed you
for too long

Let these tears
tell you
that nothing is ever wrong

Come home
and celebrate
what you've learnt
we never wanted you
to experience that hurt

Come home
you've been gone for too long
we loved you all the way
through books
through songs
through loved ones

Come home
you friend
Come home
you son
Come home
don't run

..let love call this chapter done

Unknown territory

You and me
and this fantasy
now leaking..

You and me
and this rivalry
of thoughts, I'm bleeding

You and me
unknown territory
I'm mourning

..the me I lost in you
the dream that didn't make it through
the promise I put on you
with you wanting me to

...I'm leaving
