Poem #2

I can't stop thinking of you 

I think of the deepness of your voice and the way it resonates in my heart when you call my name 

I think of your arms, your hands and the way I melt at the touch of your skin 

I think of the way your eyes fixate on the book you read right before you go to bed 

And of the way when you turn to look at me those same eyes fill with tenderness and care

I think of your lips and of the sweetness I taste when you kiss me 

I think of the mornings we've shared and the scent of our sleep lingering in the air for days

I think of the days after you've gone when I would bury my nose in the pillows you've used, just to feel close to you 

And even though you may be far 

I still feel your warmth 

I remember the evenings I spent wrapped up in your arms

And how it felt like home

My taste in clothing

A blend of a hippie endlessly celebrating the summer of love, where time transcends into 70s rock 'n' roll. Think of Stevie Nicks' "Rhiannon". The soft melancholic "Baker Street". And the powerful "The Court of the Crimson King". 

Picture a woman with long wavy hair flowing in the wind. She wears silver bangles, silver earrings and silver rings set with an array of coloured stones: lapis lazuli, tiger's eye, jasper, onyx. She is loud yet delicate against the sunshine. Her clothes scream beauty as she effortlessly dances to the rustle of distant leaves. 

As spring turns to summer, she sits on a patch of grass with a book in hand. Frida Kahlo's biography. Immersed in the colourful landscapes of Mexico, she finds herself painting within The Casa Azul. Like Frida, her pain and sexuality permeates her artwork. She embodies inspiration, the power to assert oneself in a world run by men. An embrace of creativity and femininity. 

Then comes the 21st century, she stays dormant and silent. The world is polluted by consumerism. Fast fashion and poor taste. Here, individuality erodes. 

How to discover oneself in a world where banality is normalised and applauded? 

Future me

I have an innate feeling that I'll end my life married with two children, living deep within the Scottish countryside. I'll have a farm teeming with animals: cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, dogs, and more. I'll also have a greenhouse where I'll cultivate my own fruits and vegetables. Life will be simple and carefree. I'll spend my days frolicking through the highland meadows, and when the rain and wind howl outside, I'll be cozied up by the warm fireplace.
