I am here
I wish to let you in
to let you know
will you do the same?, to let me show
to tell you what’s on my mind
for you to understand my heart overtime
I wish to let you in
to see your smile from within
I am here
With all my flaws and fears
Yes, lets get to know
On this journey of ‘us’ premiere
“When I look into your eyes, I’m curious to know what you see?”

You Smiled – A Poem by Mali X
Your smile
As radiant as the sun hitting your face at dawn
the first thing I hope to see when a new day spawn
Enough to rival the sunrise
chasing away the shadows uncovering the earth’s eyes
revealing its beauty in full size
When you smile my heart capsize
Opening up, revealing what’s inside.
“ Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Karma
“What goes around comes around”
is that the true essence of karma
the energy that flows through time,
fueling life’s drama
Reincarnation of future past
the butterfly effect
cause and effect
Deja Vu
does that mean anything to you?
A memory
reset in time
future forgotten in history
the truth tangled in mystery
wrapped in conspiracy
A web weaved into the inner net
The same mistake broadcasted on the internet.

Slowly
Slowly I’ll open up
Slowly I’ll pour myself into your cup
Filling it with emotions and truth, enough to pick you up
Carefully not to spill our soul
into a world of sinking holes
as I fill out this form, to your heart I enroll
Can I take your hand in mine and go for a stroll?
Down this road of discovery
picking up our pieces along the way of recovery
Mentally
Physically
Perhaps spiritually
As we slowly move along the path that is self-discovery.

Stepping back
Stepping back
Looking at the facts when things are out of whack
I stop to relax
a pause
I listen to a song
my mind now reacts
breathing in I finally act
at face value I made haste
and almost cracked
but as I think it through
The answer I firmly clasp
with it in my grasp
I no longer relapse
free of the mental traps, I breath in peace of mind
The smell of freedom from the night
Clear thoughts, now I can share with you piece of mine
Stepping back the heart steps into focus
all its feeling now out on the surface.
This poem was written with A Word from Lash, please do check out her page, amazing articles, amazing insight. Thank you for writing this with me (Hope you are ok with me posting it)…oh also I ended up adding more to it after all.

No Games
Games are played on devices
not with emotions, psychology advises
I don’t see you as a toy
not a thought I have employed
I wouldn’t imagine It
I have hesitated
I have backtracked
I have stepped back
to check if my emotions were real
an overthinker ordeal
I almost gave up, my mind appeal
But my heart said no, the thought sealed
So here I am, to make another attempt
Not in vain, no regret
so I’ll let God and “live in the moment”
Road to Thrice Unspoken begins.

The Imposter
The limit you place on yourself is unwarranted
It paints a picture to those that say you are incapable
Why put yourself in the light of the low-spirited?
But I am without experience and without knowledge
Did you make the attempt? How can say you are incapable?
The limit you place on yourself is unwarranted
What of your mindset? Has it been challenged?
Has it shown you the voices that impedes your confidence are breakable
Why put yourself in the light of the low-spirited?
Reminding you of the fact this not something you created
The feeling of doubt overtakes, now it is driver, gratitude unattainable
The limit you place on yourself is unwarranted
Now the imposter is born, it’s not good enough, everything you created is ill-fated
It’s bad in your eyes, it’s not desirable, no one will desire it
Why put yourself in the light of the low-spirited
Face to face with the imposter, you are the awaited
“You are the one you are waiting for”, you are flavourable
The limit you place on yourself is unwarranted
Why put yourself in the light of the low-spirited
[image error]Take hold, you are not an imposter, you are real…your work is yours and it is beautiful.

A little too Deep
Went a little deep
in thoughts thinking
what’s my next step
in the endless cycle of what if
staring on at what the future could of
Went a little deep
I am tired
I am ready to move
I am ready to create
to get the world’s heart beating
To awaken it from its darkest slumber.
I went a little too deep.
Now I can’t escape it’s reach.

Creativity
Creativity
Think divinity
Where thoughts submerge into the deep
to seep, into the void
Creating light from the abyss
to piece together something that was a miss
from the psycho script
images, art, dances, poetry
evoking serenity or awakening negativity
capturing the beauty of earth and darkness of the world
Unveiling the shell revealing a pearl
Oh, how could I forget music
Putting notes together into harmonic convergence
Musical message
A tune that traverse the air wave
energizing the neurons, stimulating our brainwave
bringing peace to mind
giving the heart something to think about
to remember
A memory relived, an emotional link
What is creativity?
Taking your knowledge forming a concept
that intercept with the topic
stimulating the imagination
What do you feel?
Brainstorming the mental reel
What will this artwork reveal
a story hidden in the stroke of the brush
painting the secrets within colors
Giving line arts life and meaning.
“Creativity is… seeing something that doesn’t exist already. You need to find out how you can bring it into being and that way be a playmate with God.”

Mental health
Protect your psycho script
Be careful of your switch,
the wrong hands can cause it to flip
A battle ensues
internal spew
external clues
Mental flu
You, yourself and the world
a three-way dead lock
Beware of your running stock
keeping your life on the clock
It crashes you fall
A market melt down
Causing an overcharge on the mental neurons
igniting a mental thunderstorm
take a breather
Smell the roses
Chill on being life appeaser
Remember your mental health is…
That’s up to you.
May is mental health awareness month, remember to breathe and take a break.
