Unravel hidden memories…
Disentangle your frustration.
Write down your hopes
as an unencumbered song.
Weave the thoughts
Make them flow nicely
notions will fall into place,
by your magical wand.
The sweetest of words,
the harshest of tones
is what makes us unique,
what makes us all Gods.

Undress me from reality.
Untie me from the boundaries;
the expectations of society.
Unwind me from the pain,
the memories of a broken past.
Mend me with your lips
Hold me close;
until I can feel the beating
of your heart…
Pulsing faster, as your teeth
sink into my neck.

A speedboat.
A bazuka.
Two Somalis.
A yacht.
A holiday.
Two Brits.
Money.
Luxury.
Kidnapping.
That’s all it takes
For two Somalis
To capture our people.
And yet,
We take them in.
We give them comfort.
Food. Water. Beds.
And money to live with.
//By Steffi
//Inspired after reading a story about a British couple who were currently kidnapped by Somali.
If I had to let you go
I’d be hollow
like a tree;
destroyed –
by a chainsaw
eroded
by wind and rain.
If I had to let you go
I’d be incomplete
Life needs water,
and I need you.
If I had to let you go
I’d be alone
Not only physically,
but my heart would bleed
for you and your everlasting
love.
//By Steffi ~ 2010
I’m in a big black hole
digging my own grave.
Suffocating in my reality.
Shame crawls in
as my heart is breaking with disbelieve.
What once was,
where has it gone?

Tear Gas.
Fighting.
Explosions.
Tortures.
The symptoms of war,
Our soldiers endure.
Orders –
Followed;
Enemies –
Destroyed;
Like sheep they behave
They kill and never let live.
Wounds –
Physical;
Psychological;
Trauma
The guilt they burden,
The nightmares they pass through.
Reason?
Peace.
Unity.
Patriotism.
The lie we are led to believe.
Affecting us. Our life, perspective.
How fitting it is
To die for ones country?
When if you survive,
You’ll regret it for all your life.
Knowing that you were just
an insignificant number;
And you will be forgotten
there after.
//By Steffi
Hell is just a feeling
Keeping you from reasoning.
Open up your eyes
Make a step, for your sake.
No more secrets and mysteries
No more fights and lies.
Open up your heart
Everything will heal.
Take away the dead black roses
The thorns and pains.
Open up your mind
Life is full of colours.
//By Steffi
I gave you my heart
You tore it apart.
You split it in two
because you, love you.

This is an old poem, but I thought I’d publish some of my work from time to time.
What lies inside,
is what matters
Or so they say…
Our beauty fades,
but who we are stays. Continue reading Thump, Thump
In front of my mirror, naked
A reflection of pictures on my wall
hanging there
staring at me, smiling at me.
