A Poet's Journey by Manivillie Kanagasabapathy
You taught me how to get over you. My heart stopped racing with every text, no longer hurting when they weren't yours. I stopped expecting to be your first or last thought, making peace with being an afterthought. I learned not to listen for your concern no longer replaying words for hidden messages. My tongue… Continue reading Your Greatest Lesson
I can see them try to break you, this other, a thing that exists outside the comfort of what they think they know too scared to see you and their face reflected in your eyes. To look those powerful eyes, that allow no lies, and ask them to stare at the hate that they made… Continue reading 30/2017: Break
A journey started with trepidation, the weight of so much expectation. How could I have said yes to this year, was I drunk?! It's a bit unclear!

Cast in the silvery ray of the moon, I see the silver threads of power in my skin, the light of the universe reflected… Continue reading Day 358: The Moon’s Awakening
Weaving those family ties to keep connections strong she won't stand for lies, and turn a blind eye to wrongs. A fierce protector in a sari she guards those who are hers for her heart see the beauty of each of our true colours. She is the calm in the storm who willingly scarifies her… Continue reading Day 357: Sisters by Love (Dharshi/Anni)
I don't get it, no matter the angle from which I consider the question, that blind faith by which you connect the future to an unknown element, another heart. © Manivillie Kanagasabapathy AN: The Cynic... So just two poems came to me, one right after the other - Yesterday's post on love (romantic view) and… Continue reading Day 356: The Reason I am Probably Still Single
"I don't know the future," I gently tell him, his face cradled between the hands, he had just warmed from his touch. "But the me, that exist in this here and now, cannot envision a life where you are not holding me at night." © Manivillie Kanagasabapathy AN: My Romantic side....
