so no one told me it would feel this way unexplainable in so many beautiful ways my mind is trying to make sense how this is my heart is celebrating “it’s wonderful” it says
so no one told me it’s magical beyond magic unknowable, impossible even through logic my senses are feasting over delightful sight of you beside me as i see the first ray of sunlight
so no one told me how it would feel this way just you beside me is breathtaking i swear i say i could trade anything in the world for you to be where you are anywhere my boo
so no one told me it would feel this way but thanks to you i knew it now anyway

As I continue to explore writing issues and topics that are mostly taboo; like “miscarriage” I opted to write an affirmation poem for mothers who have silently lost thier babies during the course of pregnancy.
Positive affirmation will hopefully help them heal.
Miscarriage is a traumatic event which affects every woman differently, but can lead to grief, anxiety, depression, and even symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Some women chose to speak up and share. Some opted to keep silent and continue with their lives. And it might surprise us, but some have actually become a highly functional empowered woman. And some believed (even the mother herself) that she moved on with the trauma. Little do we know that they are actually the ones agonizing the most. When the lights, the glamour, the demands of work are over their world will fall apart. And the cycle just continues for them.
have you seen the butterflies dancing? how their brightly unique colored wings create a perfect hue to accompany the aromatic spring air? as colors blending, and swirling and the playful flower garden waits in great anticipation? I haven’t. But I, sure have seen your eyes dance in harmony with nature, glowing as brightly as the sun on a hot summer day I’ ve seen that. I’ve seen that dance in your eyes, that blissful afternoon, you looked at me with great admiration perhaps, that was love perhaps love
have you felt the feel of a snowflake trickle down your nose? how it melts and turns into water as soon as it touches your skin? its cool light and dry powdered feel? I haven’t. But I sure felt, that same cool touch when you by chance, touched me by the face as we were exiting a full packed crowded place I’ve felt that. I felt your palm, so cold, so freezzing cold perhaps, that was love perhaps love
have you smelled the scent of a hyacinth flower? with its intense green spring scent developing, buidling stronger as the flower blooms? as a tight bud, with its scent lightly, ethereally floral, then opening up a gracious potent and intoxicating smell I haven’t. But I sure smelled that kind of scent in you everytime you reach for my hand in a group everytime you call my name for an afternoon chat, or a quick bench nap I smelled that. I smelled your intoxicating smell perhaps, that was love perhaps love
have you seen the butterflies dancing? have you felt the feel of a snowflake trickle down your nose? have you smelled the scent of a hyacinth flower?
yes I did my memories of you my memories of love perhaps love
i don’t know how New Year would be without striking display of fireworks to see loud noise signaling a welcome celebration endless list of what to be’s and what not to be’s new year’s resolution i don’t know how New Year would be without singing “Auld Lang Syne” with glee eating black eyed peas for goodluck or a mignight kiss honoring a year ahead full of love but i don’t know how my new year would be without you baby

it felt like I should do something to stop the flow of time and pause cos i’m afraid time would be unkind to me, to you and to us ’twas the best year i swear, both unprecedented and little ironic a year that left us speechless, but made us dauntless in panic but i don’t know how my new year would be without you baby
