17/2017: My True Love

January 17, 2017 My Poetic Heart

I have missed your warm embrace, How far we have been apart is a disgrace, the softness in you let me drop my head, made me think, thankful words can be left unsaid, Oh dear pillow, I can't wait to kiss your face! © Manivillie Kanagasabapathy

The thing that makes love so special is that we give those we love the knowledge and power to hurt us. We open our deepest vulnerabilities, share our traumas and fears in the hopes that they will never use them against us - with the deliberate intention to maim and hurt.
Thank you to the @torontowritersc for the feature. Posted @withregram • @torontowritersc Meet Manivillie. She is a Toronto-based poet and writer.

Today is Pink Shirt Day!
No words of wisdom- just missing the summer vibes and calling the sun. Taken on a rare picnic in 2020 before one of many lockdowns.
Healing is messy, painful and breaks you in so many ways. Yet- every time you heal parts of yourself, you own more of the things that make you amazing. Can’t wait to see your light.
One of my favourite pictures of 2020, @sathyatk , took it during a birthday trip to the cottage.
