It Takes Time

September 2, 2017 thecoffeebeanbrain3 Comments

Scared to feel but feeling brave Leaving worries and moving forward TakingĀ  one step at a time Following dreams Dreaming for what's real Hope for the possibilities of beautiful things.

Mind’s Alcove

June 17, 2017 thecoffeebeanbrain13 Comments

She's been there, too She's been through pain She felt lost when her dreams started to fade away When people decided not to stay The sting of rejection The pang of loneliness She fights a lot of feelings inside her Sometimes it seems she puts herself through it She feels deeply That's the thing She… Continue reading Mind’s Alcove

In Between Haiku

May 7, 2017May 7, 2017 thecoffeebeanbrain5 Comments

You are amazing He said in between silence And she falls deeper For so many nights She wanted to say it loud He drifts in her dreams They are caught between A trance and a dance With things left unseen Cornered in between The dynamic of a storm A gale, a blizzard Hearts searching, hoping… Continue reading In Between Haiku

Thoughts from Inside

March 12, 2017March 12, 2017 thecoffeebeanbrain6 Comments

Sometimes we just can't ignore it There's something inside us a buzz, a mutter of the heart Sometimes we choose to ignore it That whispering, that hum that needs attention we set aside That decision to take Issues with trust Fear of commitment Responsibilities in store Sometimes our minds won't let go of it whether… Continue reading Thoughts from Inside

It's easy to dream all your plans, easy to imagine the great and the grand When the road is clear and the mission set, all we need is time then on the road, no regret But then the path gets diverted, the plot futile, the angle averted And what if you saw what was concealed,… Continue reading Unseen

Anticipation

Looking forward to a moment Assuming the best Fearing the worst Drowning out the sound of the world Expecting a call Starting a job Preparing for tomorrow Forecasting the need Contemplating an idea To finish a shift The end of a war A baby's due date The green light To catch that flight To trust… Continue reading Anticipation

To Remember Sid

October 14, 2016October 27, 2016 thecoffeebeanbrain25 Comments

So I cried yesterday I don't know for how long your last breath was a gasp I knew you were gone Death they say, is the end of a new beginning For me, it feels like a bad metaphor for healing. Your heart may have given up on you but I'll always remember how you… Continue reading To Remember Sid

Dear Survivor

October 7, 2016October 27, 2016 thecoffeebeanbrain19 Comments

Your pain does not define you you are not illness, injury or beaten, You are brave Your wounds are not your fault You are NOT bruise, shock or grief You are strong For standing up amidst the hurt for breaking through guilt and shame, You are courage Your anger is valid You are outrage, passion… Continue reading Dear Survivor
