MEANT TO BE
DARK EYES, FAIR GOLDEN HAIR,
I saw her shyly standing there.
Ignored by all around,
Bewildered by the disco’s sound.
LIKE ME, NOT OUR PLEASURE.
Quieter ways to spend our leisure.
Nervously caught her eye
And then got talking by and by.
CHAT DELIGHT, EACH FELT GOOD,
Exactly as I’d known we would.
Talked non-stop until late
And pencilled in another date.
JUST KNEW; LONG MARRIED NOW,
Always

Never meant to depart
For weeks, my hands searched your side of the bed,
Yet emptiness mocked the warmth I desired.
Our love now lives in a distant, closed past,
Where memories refuse to fade or dim.
That morning you spoke your final good-bye
Turned my whole world to a mourning ground.
I lost the knowing of what love feels like,
For your absence drove me

Vows Ain’t Meant to be Hollow
She stood there in her white dress, boots dusty from the ride,
With a heart as wide as Heaven and her cowboy by her side.
She gave her word before the Lord, with every ounce she had —
To love him through the bitter, and the good, and all the bad.
But storms rolled in like thunder, as they

I Wasn't Meant For Heaven
The truth is I lie about the statue if anything
if ever remembered, of the most controversial,
I once had that vision and my mind was black
like coffee no milk or sugar of empty sacks.
You can't imagine as I was told to be next,
as my brother's head was cracked in.
I was frozen to the worse of humanity
I

Your Soul is meant for more
Your Soul is meant for more
By Michelle Morris
24/07/2025
I held a mirror up to your Soul
The very Soul you said you didn't have
And there you saw all your Demons
The very Demons you denied throughout your Life
Alas, it must be torture for you
To realise you've always been wrong
To have the Truth slam

Meant To Be
We were meant to be
Like a Queen and her honey bee
One can not live without the other
We were born to be with each other
Nothing could separate us like the seas
Even if they rip you away from me
If that were the case I would never shudder
I will always find you my lover

If I was never meant to shine
If I was never meant to shine like stars,
But walk through dark with dust stuck to my shoes,
Then please forgive me, God, for all my scars,
For finding hope in pain I didn’t choose.
My voice was small, too soft for most to hear,
A quiet sound that faded in the night.
But still I spoke, though no one

meant to be, but couldn't stay
We were right—
God, we were right for each other.
Same dreams,
same broken pieces
that fit like a puzzle no one believed in but us.
You knew how to calm my storms.
I knew how to catch your silence.
We built a fire that could’ve lasted forever—
if forever wasn’t so damn fragile.
But love isn’t always enough.
Not when timing cuts like glass.
Not

I only wish she hadn’t cried the tears meant for me while she burned under a merciless sun
I only wish she hadn’t cried the tears meant for me while she burned under a merciless sun,
hadn’t been the sheltering forest while her own bark turned to ash,
hadn’t stood like an unmoving mountain to lift me on her shoulders toward the blue skies,
hadn’t taken upon herself the dark clouds meant to cover me like

What Marriage Meant For
What is the meaning of marriage
Marriage is about two people
Who are in love irrespective of health,
Of wealth will not abandon each other
But mutually support each other
Irregardless of any circumstances
Will not back out the marital promise
Whether pain or gain will face head on
Facing any storm in life with courage
Never give up but in control willfully

What If Forever Was Never Meant to Be
What if forever was never meant to be?
Just a story we told ourselves to sleep at night,
A myth we wrapped around broken promises
So they wouldn’t hurt as much in the morning.
I loved you like a secret —
One I couldn't tell myself out loud.
You were my friend,
But I whispered prayers hoping you’d look at me
With the

How We Are Meant To Learn From Each Other
Our memories will be the roots
In our strong yet delicate foundation.
Our talks will be our parachutes
As we slowly fall into infatuation.
Our fall outs will be rationalized away
As we become each other's voices of reason.
Our voices will soothe us without sway
In our soft-spoken tones, without confusion.
Our individual strengths will shine through
Each and every time we speak

MEANT TO BE
PANDA MAZEE,
It was a warm starry night,
The moon was full and bright,
I was working late,
Too sizzling hot to be indoors,
That made me think of you,
KOOKLA MOU
I reached for the phone,
My heart missed a beat,
I could sense you were alone,
KOOKLA MOU
THELO NA EEMASTE,
PANDA MAZEE
AS MEANT TO BE.
For years we have been apart,
KORITSI MOU,

ONLY MEANT FOR TWO
Verse 1
I’ll strum you a tune in the glow of the moon,
Sing a melody made for a heart like you.
Soft-spoken stories that dance through the air,
Taking you places like we haven’t a care.
We’ll daydream in colors that don’t have a name,
Like jasmine and sunsets and warm summer rain.
Wrap me in you, let the stars realign,
Just

Was she meant to be broken?
As far as ethereal creatures are concerned,
she fell somewhere in between
a wood nymph—
fragile and belligerent—
and a centaur—
untamable and resilient
she is a living, breathing juxtaposition;
far from flawless,
yet infinitely beyond perfect.
She was flawed,
but as an ornate kintsugi vase
cracked to pieces
and sutured back together with gold
Like the
