Love Island

Have you ever broken a bone?

Happy Sunday everyone! I’ve never broken a bone yet thank God, I’d like it to remain that way even though I am indeed very clumsy.

Love Island Malta is starting today and I am so excited for the tea. I hope some drama actually happens, it’s only the second year it’s happening, so last year was the first time.

~two weeks till exams, but after that, SUMMER. Three whole months to forget about university and all its stress. I’m a summer girlie through and through, I am happier in summer, but I love traveling to places where it snows because it does not snow in Malta.

I keep trying to make new tiktok accounts to go viral but they always flop 😩. I get so mad but oh well.

Thank you for reading this far, I appreciate you all!

Lego with boyfriend

💌

I built this with my boyfriend today. He did most of the work whilst I searched for a movie to watch on netflix. But I think it looks awesome. We still have another one to build for next time it is a ford. I love spending the weekend at my boyfriend’s cause we always find something fun to do together and he has lots of cute pets which make me so happy even though they love eating too much.

My Person

🥰

The sky looked like it was painted
With soot from a chimney
And the wind was trying to blow
It away
With all its might.
My mood felt the opposite of bright.
Just when I was doubting the point
Of our bleak existence,
The doom was met with
A sudden resistance
For you greeted me with such excitement,
A golden retriever was no match
For your wide smile and joyful eyes.
You are the patch
That was needed to fix my smile
Right back into the place
It hadn’t been in for a while.

Blood Rain

🌧

Blood rain splattered

From the heavens this morning,

The smell of summer shattered

But as I inhaled the smell

Of rain on the ground

Nothing else mattered

For I felt blessed by

The bountiful river

Falling from the sky

And I did not shiver

Though my summer clothes were thin

For I had waited for the heavens

To speak to me for so long

And now they were raining

Down upon me

Endowing me with the very essence

That touched their breath,

Was in their presence

And now by my meek body felt.

(PS blood rain is horrible cause the cars always become dirty after it and it is ALWAYS blood rain in Malta 😭)

Dear Friend

💫

As I glided onto the seat next to yours, I wanted to ask you what it was in her that made her better, I wanted to tell you I will be funnier, kinder, more amusing, if you were to prefer me again. I wanted to ask you why myself was not enough when you had endured years of it, I wanted to ask whether it was the excitement of new friendship which tugged you away, only to bring you back when the magic moved away. I wanted to tell you that your friendship meant more than my jealousy and I would stay as the second option, only for the taste of what was before.

But I knew the chasm was now too wide to be mended

So I smiled and walked.

Across the Prarie

Oh how I yearn to be
A weightless bird
With wings spread out
Gliding across the prairie
Rather than a human
Stumbling around in gravity
With oh so heavy a heart
Pulling me down.
A bird is free from worry
And that is why he flies so effortlessly
Because he has no heavy heart
Pulling him down ruthlessly.

Awaken

💭

My chords only awaken

In complete silence

But the moment focus is on me

This awakens the sirens

Until my words jumble

My thoughts fumble

I rethink each first

Jumping to the worst

So if my ability to speak is flawed

All I have is the written ghost

Each thought of mine

Riddled in each post.

I am reduced to erraric insanity

Without the power of prose,

All I have is my poetry.

Handle it gently

For though you may

Read it with tea,

It is truly everything I am

Essentially all of me.

Good Morning from a dark room at uni

Daily writing prompt

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

View all responses

Good morning my dear readers,

Well at least it’s morning here, it might be night for you. It’s too early to be thinking about this question. I’m not sure if it was my watch or my shirt which I bought first. It might be my pony tail rubber band to be honest because its elastic is all broken and it looks like it has seen better days.

I am in university right now, I’m hoping to get some studying done before my lecture starts. I found a quiet room to study in but I haven’t figured out how to switch on the light so I am sitting in the dark today. At least light is filtering in through the window.

Oh never mind, a lady came to switch on the light because she saw me in the darkness. It didn’t work, I guess the power went out or something in this room, I am still sitting in darkness.

Well it was nice talking to you, and I hope to post some poems today if I have the time. I will definitely have time, because I always make time for poetry I love it too much.

Thank you for listening, I appreciate you.

Gaby.

Was I a Flower

A Flower

Was I a flower laced
With juicy pollen,
With a sweet smell encased
I would love my friends the bees
For they would help me
Create my offspring
But I am no lovely flower
And although honey is a lovely thing
Which I will forever praise the bees for,
I will always run away
As soon as I spot a bee with a stinger
For I may be in overwhelming pain
If I linger.
