Poetry - Curly Brown Hair

Hello beautiful souls.

Welcome to my heart.

This is my reading of my poem Curly Brown Hair.

I write poetry to make sense of, express, and capture how I feel, in any given experience, as I make my way through this life.

Some of the things I experience in life can be very hard to logically explain, but poetry doesn't need, and has never needed, to be logical.

What my poetry means to me may be very different to what it means to you. Such is the beauty of art.

I hope it touches you, in the way you need to be touched, in this very moment.

From my heart to yours.

Namaste.

We spoke about you that day.

A you that only exists like the disappearing morning dew.

There,

But not there.

But energy is a funny thing,

For that night you appeared in my dreams.

The unmanifest manifested into form with curly brown hair and arms wrapped around my neck.

So small,

So fragile,

And I wanted to keep you in my arms,

Safe and warm for all of time.
