In the space between spaces
My love fills the void
And my silent learnings
Make me whole
As I stand
Back to back with
My differences fusing
And healing
My forgotten pain
In the space between spaces
I remember
My soulful pact
Brushing my cheek
Gently moving my hair
He whispers…
Words that we shared
Of all that could be
He whispers…
Stroking my back
Down the length of my spine
He whispers…
Drawing me close
Into the depths of his heart
He whispers…
Reminding me of a time
When the earth did stand still
He whispers…
Memories of deep love
Of our pact made as souls
He whispers…
What was the pact?
Our soulful tie
That brought us both together?
What was the reason?
Our paths converged
If no permanence in forever?
What was the lesson?
The learnings revealed
That required so much pain?
What was the glue?
The cement that set
That cracked when under strain?
What was the purpose?
The divine intent
Of sharing what we shared?
What was the bond?
That couldn’t hold
The views we never aired?
What was the moment?
The shifting gear
That set this course in action?
What was the cause?
The single act
That ceased all further traction?
Take a look around the corner
At the signpost of fear
Remove the pole from the earth
Raise your arms, scream a cheer
Allow the flow of possibility
To be your own crew
Engage your spirit into your body
You are the you, within you
The mathematics of living
Just divides up the whole
Perpetuating inner conflict
Removes the present, from the soul
We’re not heading for oblivion
No, not on my watch!
The world is not for our convenience
So who are we, to botch?
By creating our own problems
Ensuing madness results
And we keep blaming it on others
Only ourselves, we insult…
So stop acting out of impulse
Intuitions really rocks!
The thinking thought is the culprit
It is the hole, in our sock
Let’s let language be collective
Let our word be our wand
It is our blessing and our lesson
Our life’s, karmic bond
With collectively shared meaning
We will go with the flow
So deem to live your life fearlessly
On your marks. Get set. Go!
This is a poem written about the most wonderful, award-winning, no frills vegetarian cafeteria in Brighton.
Situated on Kensington Gardens, North Laine
Lovingly prepared food
What a fantastic Iydea!
A true culinary delight
That deserves a big cheer
The big, breakfast plate
Is a vegetarian dream
Filling the emptiest of tummies
Splitting a tight-fitting seam
If you’re feeling adventurous
Like tastes out of the box
Then the poached egg combinations
Will completely fill your socks
If toast is the foundation
The bedrock of your snack
Their combination of toppings
Mean you’ll keep coming back
If simplicity is your style
They do wonders with fruit
Adding yoghurt and granola
Compote and syrup to boot
Now that’s just for starters
The clock’s not hit twelve
When the hunger pangs return
An appetite you can’t shelve
The lunchtime selection
Home cooked goodness galore
A vast selection of flavours
That guarantee you’ll want more
Salads of all varieties
All seasonal and fresh
And roasted root veggies
Topped with seeds and crème fraiche
Fruity cous-cous filled aubergine
With a beet, chilli slaw
Enchiladas and curries
Hang on, there is more!
There are freshly made juices
Fruit pulped, squashed and poured
To cleanse and invigorate
Your taste buds will applaud
If you’re not into savoury
And you’ve got a small gap
Their home-made cakes and slices
Are a sweet coated slap
Eating in or take away
Your soul and mind will be fed
The whole experience delightful
A Brighton gem to be spread
What am I doing?
Do I not stand tall?
It is me and only me
Responsible for a fall
I trust in my judgement
Grateful for attributes
Washed up emotions
Giving life to my roots
Letting go of everything
I stand naked in pride
Wisdom a knowing
I no longer hide
I am open to change
To be the best I can be
To fulfil my life’s purpose
Releasing beautifully
I bless my body with love
Free it from my mind
Sensuality my bedrock
To my heart I am kind
Trusting my inner voice
I am powerful and wise
I move into alignment
Nothing left to scrutinise
shiny pebbles
