Powerful women attract me.
Not because of how they look,
But because of the fire in their eyes.
Because they stand up for what's right.
Powerful women are what the world needs.

Capable, willful, fearless
In the eyes of the immorality, they contest.

Beautiful, these women stand strong.
Not for doing no wrong.
Not for pretty eyes or silky hair, flowing long.

Beautiful are they because they stay.
Unwavered by society's foul array
Of misdeeds and Man's greed.

If only the world, their beauty could see.

As I see.

Those graceful gladiators.
Fighting, with subtle pride, with unsurpassed bravery.
Fighting to save what's left of humanity.
The other day, I watched a goddess at work, strong as any force of nature, maybe even stronger.
This is an ode to all those beautiful goddesses who have the power to save the world.

Tonight, as the clouds cry,
The thunder cracks,
And lightning lights up the sky.

A little writer begins to write.
He writes for peace of mind.
He writes a piece of his mind.

This, a feeling so pure.
Parting with a part of his soul.
Strewn, shards on a piece of paper.
So alone, at ease, he's compelled to compose.
Compose the ideas of life
And all of life's lies.
To tell the world,
Not to abide.
To tell the world,
Look that ***** straight in her eye.
Say **** it, and give her a smirk and

*Fly.
A night when creativity visits a writer is a day when a piece of his work feels complete in its own terms. This was one of those days. When the flow did not hesitate, when I was unable to suppress, I just went on. I wanted to tell the world that the things that stop you from achieving and striving for greatness, they do not necessarily have to dictate your life. The only hard part is beginning.

Cotton clouds,
Chariots of the moon.

Carry with them my love.
From me

*to you.

The echoes carry on.
Voices blaring into the night.
Ricocheting into the depths of an open mind.
Stark, the silence.
Memories rush. So violent.
Echoes, all that remain.
The echoes shall never fade.
Memories bright as day.

Heavy heart, loose smile.
We carry on, pave our way through life.
Echoes reverberate through space and time.
Of friendships lasting a lifetime.
There's a marked and undeniably somber fog that's crawled over our home in the last few days. This fog might clear quickly for some, it might linger longer for a few, but it shall fade with time. And as most memories in life, the good shall be etched into the halls of our minds. A reminder of a home we all once shared.
I'm glad to have known each and every one of you and cherish the bonds we've made.


Whānau.

M
Passionate as a poet's lines
Resilient as the sea, her tides.
Strong as a mountain's side.
As Athena's owl, you're wise.
You take life in your stride.


Graceful as rhythm in time.
Beautiful as any given sunrise.

You are,

*The personification of sunshine.
Words are a mere confinement to all that you are.

Free, strong, smart, independent, playful, gentle, graceful, fun, beautiful.
I could go on, but all I would like you to know is that I'm glad I know you, and I'm thankful for the experiences we've shared.
