Poetry Reflections

Our Love Moves at the Speed of Truth”

Reflection on “To My Forever”

To My Forever is a declaration of true love — to the self. It emerged after deep inner work, shadow facing, and a return to wholeness. I wrote it from a place of radical acceptance, no longer waiting to be chosen, but realizing I already belong to myself.

In a world that asks us to shrink for approval, this poem is a vow of sovereignty. The tone is soft, but the truth is bold: I will not hide to be accepted, nor silence my spirit to be heard.

The “forever” in this poem isn’t someone else. It’s the version of me who remembered who she is — the one who chose herself and came home.

“Saving a Few Pieces”

Reflection on “Frame”

Frame reflects the quiet grief of leaving behind people and versions of ourselves to heal and grow. It isn’t rooted in bitterness, but in gentle remembrance and honouring the journey that followed.

Woven into its lines is the clarity that comes with change—sometimes we outgrow what we thought would last forever. The poem doesn’t dwell in the past, but acknowledges its weight and what it took to move forward.

Through imagery of old photographs and fading memories, Frame explores the emotional distance healing can bring. It’s about choosing what to carry and what to release—a tender act of self-preservation that isn’t cruel, but necessary.

“I Found a Friend in You”

A Reflection on “Smile”

Smile is a tribute to aligned friendship—the kind that isn’t forced or performative, but rooted in ease, care, and deep understanding. It’s a reminder that life feels lighter when we’re seen and supported by those who choose to stay.

This poem was born from the realization that some connections don’t need constant words to be felt. They carry us through grief, celebrate our joy, and offer comfort in the quiet.

Smile is my thank you to those rare souls whose presence soothes, whose laughter lingers, and whose love makes the world feel a little less heavy.
