Tua – An Ode to Myself

Tua – An Ode to Myself

Those little feet, big hair, Mamma’s princess, Daddy’s only heir. “She’ll become a prodigy” Sharp eyes, tiny ears; see, she picked the pen, Prophecy it seems, Little head burdened with their big dreams. * The little princess fell sick, She wouldn’t move, she couldn’t speak. Sleepless nights spent by Mum, Deranged, frightened and the lovers [...]

My Song

My Song

The momentum - solemn stillness holds, Lifting up my spirits, high, High above the blue sky; in form of rays from the Sun, It shimmers like a thousand fireflies, Up, high above the sky.  I hear the sound of solitude, ringing into my ears; Telling me the tales of love, Almost impossible to recognize my [...]

To The Men I Date

To The Men I Date

Listen to the Spoken Word version of this poem *** “Hi there, beautiful! You’re gorgeous” Thank you, I know! But, can we move past that? Could you please tell me that I have a beautiful smile, I have a mole in my eye. Did you notice that my ears are quite small? “You have an [...]
