  • Better.

    July 3rd, 2019
    Do you remember the promises -
    the ones we made as we lay
    counting the squares on my ceiling?

    Do you remember the words you spoke -
    the ones that were so gentle
    and soft it made my ears tingle?

    Do you remember the tears -
    the ones that we shed because our love
    was too intense for us to handle

    Do you remember the day -
    the one where I left
    in hope of greener pastures

    I remember those moments -
    the ones where I'm happy
    and without worries

    I like me better when I'm with you
    When my heart is close to yours
    and I can feel its rhythm with ease.
  • Daddy’s Princess

    May 7th, 2019


    I heard these words eight years ago in a movie –

    “Whatever you do; wherever you go
    always remember you’re daddy’s princess”

    Whenever the devil tries to guilt me.
    This line is always a reminder that I am,
    and will always be God’s princess.

    No matter how far I go;
    Whenever I return,
    I will always have my place
    secure in my father’s house.

    I am not a stranger.

  • Strains from the inside.

    May 2nd, 2019
    The doctor gave me stronger puffers today
    He says that there's still a strain in my chest
    That strain is from missing you, my love
    missing the sounds of your laughter.
    
    Those random breathless moments are
    from missing your heartwarming hugs 
    the sporadic moments of pain -
    a way of letting me know
    it never fully healed
    
    The doctor gave me steroids
    he doesn't know that all my heart needs is you.
  • F is for Family.

    April 29th, 2019

    I travelled home last week for a celebration. It was an amazing family reunion and to be honest, I’ve only been back a day but I already feel out of place. I miss my family – my safe space. I have felt true happiness this past week; pure joy, security, calmness and peace.

    Maybe I’ll go into more details about my trip when I’m settled in properly but that’s all for now. I just felt the need to share how I’m feeling at the moment.

    Forever,
    B.
  • Top 15 Lessons in the First Three Months of 2019.

    April 2nd, 2019

    Here are the top things I learned in the first three months of the year.

    1. God is interested in every aspect of your life no matter how minute.
    2. Fear will cripple you. Tell the devil to keep his useless gift.
    3. There’s a very thin line between kindness and foolishness.
    4. Love is not only the expression acceptable to show; express your anger and disappointment too.
    5. Not everyone should be allowed see you bare and laid down. Guard your space.
    6. Your eyes disappear and your face is funny when you laugh; but do it anyway.
    (more…)
  • One with you.

    March 27th, 2019
    I became one with you
    the moment I proclaimed You Lord over me 

    I became your heart
    the minute you ran towards me 

    Somewhere along,
    I lost my way; ashamed to find your face

    But your love found me
    your peace, wrapped around me tightly  

    Never in my broken girl's wildest dreams
    did I see such a beautiful redemption happening to me.

    I am one with you;
    because I proclaimed You Lord over me
  • I stand.

    March 26th, 2019
    I stand
    in every word 
    you have said over me

    I stand
    in everything
    that you say I am

    I stand 
    in every truth
    that your word brings

    I stand 
    in your perfect will.
    Under your shadow;
    behind the cross.

    I stand.

  • I found her.

    March 25th, 2019
    I got a word from my heart.
    She whispered,
    'Maybe if you stop searching,
    you'll find me.'

    So I took a break from
    certain faces that made me
    feel uncomfortable
    Certain spaces that made me
    feel inadequate
    Whatever it took, to find me.

    And when I stopped searching -
    I found her
    waiting for her prodigal part
    to return home.
  • Up again.

    March 9th, 2019
    I see you building those walls up again
    The walls we struggled to pull down
    in tears and sweat.

    I know it's hard / I know you're hurting
    I know you're tired / I know you're drained

    But we've come too far / Too damn far to give up.
    Stay strong, fighter / put down the bricks
    Keep those walls / low and flat

    I promise; You, my love
    are stronger than you know.
  • Do you?

    March 6th, 2019
    When you lay your head
    And close your eyes
    Do you dream of me?

    When you wake up
    and see the sunrise
    Do you think of me?

    When you pick up the camera
    and look into the lens
    Do you see my face?

    Do you see my eyes
    Staring into your soul?
    Do you see my smile
    and the wrinkles on my nose?
    Do you notice my dimples
    Dig deep and bore holes?

    Do you smile back at me 
    With your tongue out
    And your eyes in a squint?

    Or do you try to break our glance 
    and realize that I have you locked
    and unable to leave?

    I love you; I really do
    and I'll be damned 
    if I let you go this way.

    To B
