Death of a Fiend – Part II

Part Two At some point she began to question... Did she have more of a choice than she had realised? And if so... could she get her friend back? She felt like the movement from friend to fiend was something that happened rather than something she had chosen.  Now she could see that, perhaps she …

I Saw You

What sorrow, that it has come to this.  It’s more than I can bear and so far from anything I had imagined. For I had seen my future in your eyes.  A glistening diamond in a distant light.  I tried to run to it.  To immerse myself in its radiant glow.  Yet, I moved ponderously, …

Darkness

She was awake. Awake in the dark. She longed to sleep... yet there she was... wide awake. Eyes open, in the dark black night. She wondered when it had gotten so dark. It seemed to have taken eternity while happening overnight. She rose hauntingly from the bed where she laid and moved toward the mosaic frame on the wall. Dreading …

The Note

The loosely folded note fell from her unzipped hand bag as they walked toward the car.  She didn’t notice him pick it up.  He should have returned it to her, but he put it in his pocket. He wished he hadn’t. His skin turned cold as he read the note. He could never unread those …

Death of a Friend – Part 1

She used to take it everywhere. It wasn't even a thought to leave it behind. It was her friend in her times of need. Her jettison for emergency escapes. Her waterfall under intense heat. Her playmate... always. She couldn't imagine a life without it. Together, anything was possible. They were a fearless duo who didn't understand …

To be free

Nothing else matters. Nothing else has ever mattered. Only the desire to be free. The desire to be she. She longs to abandon the mould that's encased her spirit from the moment she took her first breath. The flimsy, transparent mould that is curiously so stubborn.  Despite the cracks in its brittle shell, she is fully bound in …

Room with a view

The room was ambient during the night, but she had never liked it in the bright light of day.  In the evening, under dimmed lights, the amber reflections made it feel warm and inviting.  But, the brightness of the day revealed bare walls and emptiness.  It was stark and stale.  She hated it, because much …

Love

I’m thinking about love today. I am always thinking about love, to be honest.  But, what do I know about it, really?  Not a lot.  I just know I crave it.  I know I know more than I used to because I’ve been forced to take a different view after a relentless onslaught of heartbreaks …

We are all one…

We are all one... I don't think I really understood the concept of 'oneness' until I went to India to study yoga and I 'felt' it.  It's ironic that I felt it there.  Firstly, because I was terrified of going.  I thought I was going to die. Secondly, because I felt no connection to India …

If only I’d known…

What do you wish you had have known earlier in your life? This is a question that I recently asked as many of my female friends and acquaintances as I could. I was interested in their responses, for a number of reasons, but mainly because I feel like I have been learning the same lesson …
