Caged Love

I was a caged bird, born with wings of questions....
my feathers hurts and stitched with silences...
I was born too afraid of mirrors
too bruised by words...

but, i found you...
while i hovered with no directions.....
you called me babe,
like i belong.....
with one glance and one words... you crack open my cage....

I dove toward you
like a bird chasing spring,
your voice the wind beneath
my desperate be..... 

you are the sun i longed to....

but just when you are hungered....

Each word from your lips was a bait,

a breadcrumbs for my hopelessness,

i was the gull who never dock...

circling over the ships,

only summoned when you need feeding.

When I begged to the sky for clarity, for truth,

you offered fog, changed the subject, tightened the leash.

And one day...I fell.

not to earth... but to the deep dark blue sea..

A silent, choking ocean where my wings were useless,

and your love was a weight tied to my ankles.

I did not know how deeply a bird could drown.

But even in that deep, my breath returned

I remembered the sky.

I remembered me.

So I kicked through your depths, clawed my way past the tide of your wanting,

rose dripping and torn but alive.

hollow.... but Alive..

Now I fly again,

not for you, not for everyone but for me.

My wings are tired, but mine.

cut through clouds with grace.

The deep ocean is now behind me.
The sky did not ask me to shrink again.
No more love shaped like a chain.
No more tides disguise.
Only flight, Only breath, Only me
soaring high in the sky free from the guilt of love.....
free from you.

MOURNING PRIDE

JUNE IS A MONTH OF HAPPINESS.....

Well that's what people always says anyway

JUNE IS A MONTH OF THE RAINBOW.....

Well that's what people always celebrate

but here in these land I stand...

nothings changed...…..

from kids being afraid of being one

to adults hiding themselves among the crowd

NOTHING IS DIFFERENT

NOTHING IS CHANGED

WE STILL HURT

WE STILL KILLED

WE STILL HUNTED

and there you are celebrating your pride forgetting that we here are also dying to feel a lived, free and happy

without the judgment of society

without the eyes of people lurking behind our back waiting to stab us on the right moment

now, that you hear our voices...

now, that you see us...

please mourn the pride and fight for us.

 

A Letter to Remember

 My Dear Disciples, My cherished souls,

In my sincere words, this letter unfolds,

In the depth of me, the emotions reside,

My mind travels and remind, remind me of how our journeys collide,

From the first time, when god put our paths aligned

A teacher's role, a privillege so kind,

In each of all your heart, I strive to ignite,

A Love to learn, A radiant of Light,

But beyond all, a mission emerged,

Trying to solace, The Wounds who are submerged,

Trying to Provide a Safe Space for you to present,

Where fears wane, and dreams are redefine,

In a bigoted world, full of judgements and unkind,

I try to created a refuge, where acceptance are bind,

To Honor the voices and the unique tales,

Protecting the beauty that the world damages,

You, with dreams yet untold,

In tears and laugh, the story start to unfold,

I watched you thrive, your spirit be free,

Embracing reality, becoming who you meant to be,

As the time has arrive, the graduation in sight,

My hearts swell in pride, emotions fly

For you've become a resilient and strong warrior,

Ready to save the world, where you truly belong,

But, Remember my dear, as you travel afar,

You carry within you the light of every star,

The safe space we shared, let it be the guide,

Becoming a beacons of compassions, illuminating thy,

Embracing plurality, for it enrich the soul,

Cherishing empathy, as we see the world unfolds,

Know that i'll always be here, though the path may now be part,

Forever Bound in our memorabilia, engraved in my heart,

Thank you, for the joy that you bring,

for the lessons that we shared, like a song no one sing,

In this letter I extend,

Thank you for the honor of being your friends,

With Love and admirations, will always be your side

Your friends, your guide, in you, I confide,

May Your dream take flight, Like the bird flying freely in the sky,

Farewell, My dear, as the new horizons lie
