      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

    EXPERIENCE

    My mother was the epitome of grace.

    She had skin the colour of rain-washed sand and thick boisterous hair the colour of the night. It was long and hefty and wrapped itself around her tender frame like rich twine. Her smile could kill a thousand hurricanes and change the course of the wind. Her eyes, tiny hazel almonds that shone more than the brightest star in the sky, told stories of an era she had left behind. ‘But my heart knows of no colour’, her gaze always said. My heart knows of no colour. And tonight, I look at my face, her face, and I ask myself,

    So, why does yours?

    Fall,

    Fall as many times as you can

    but remember –

    you will rise again.

    It took me quite

    a while to

    figure out that

    the other side of

    truth isn’t as

    beautiful

    as it seems.

    Yes, you are the product of your experiences, of everything that life has thrown your way. Of every rise and every fall. But you are also the product of the choices that you make. Of blaming the world or choosing to take responsibility, of losing hope or choosing to give yourself another chance, of remaining broken or choosing to rise again.

    The whole world

    and here I am

    thinking that it was

    just me.

    Change is what

    we all seek

    yet it is

    a door that

    nobody wants

    to open.

    She didn’t belong on earth. She belonged on a throne that rested on a silver-lined cloud overhead, where self-love and affection were taught and people were respected, where greed was nowhere to be found and love was all that they ever
