This magnificent power of love
This bond so solid
This coming together
This oneness.
No matter what we did
We’re beyond the things we said
There’s a deep, unshakable connection
Held together by more than thread.
Rooted in our core,
The way we feel,
Everything else is truly trivial
We transcend all physical boundaries.
How can I even begin to explain?
What the wisest of sages can’t fathom
You and I – the inseparable ‘we’
Are a force with which they reckon.

(**PROFANITY ALERT**)
All of you heroes
You wannabe knights in shining armor
Think you can rescue a damsel in distress…
I have 2 words for you –
1. Fuck
2. Off.
This stupid game of pretend you play
Is my daily reality.
Fully convinced only you have the secret code to remove the spell,
Only you hold the magic key to release the curse,
Your kiss alone, shall rescue the princess!
Breaking news for you,
It can’t and it won’t.
Fool yourself, but I see through.
This is not from your heart –
Not even good intent
So spare me your illusion
The speech of unshakable love.
It’s your lame man ego is all –
The hunter that rules the house;
The one in the drivers seat that needs no directions;
The one that can fix everything, never needing to ask for a hand.
Keep running around your own house
With your super hero cape and mask.
Wash your dirty hands.
Rinse that filthy mouth.
I’ll say it again –
I see right through you
No. You cannot fix me.
I’m not a fucking experiment
I’m not a fucking toy
I’m not an exciting riddle to crack.
Don’t wanna be your muse either
To be tossed on a whim, into the trash.
See unlike your inner coward
I actually do invest
I traverse all my millions of fears
Believing in your best.
But this cold blooded creature now,
Has built an unrecognisably hard shell,
Retracting within a second
Cuz your ‘commitments’ fail the smallest test.
So I say this yet again,
With much respect
Fuck Off you heroes
You ain’t got a chance in hell.

Once Upon A Time.
When I was young.
When I was fit.
When I felt pretty.
When I was loved.
When I was proud of the real me.
When I knew faith.
When promises weren’t cheap.
When I was capable of loving.
The world – and myself too.
And I would live happily ever after.

Slow.
Only Finger Tips.
A deep breath cut short.
Slow.
Mmmh. Yes.
Just like that.
Grab.
Fiercely.
Regain control. Gently.
Only lips.
Slow.
Meditation. In the moment.
Senses on high alert.
Everything. Sensitive.
Bliss.
Hands.
Invitation to slurp.
Locks of hair.
Weave between fingers.
Clasp. Squeeze.
Passionate.
Deep.
Shudders. Smile.
Face gripped.
Unmistakable. Knowledge.
Eye contact.
Exchanges.
Slow.
Mmmmh.
You know me well. Intimate.
Gorge. Burst.
Flushed.
Ignite.

I was built for bigger things
Than loving some man,
Taking care of him,
Living, sharing, traveling, creating together…
Well. That’s what they all say.
But they don’t know that you’re not just ‘some’ guy.
That I don’t need bigger things.
That I have no direction to follow, if you aren’t my home.
That ambition, achievement are repulsive & futile,
Never a compromise, nor option when it comes to us, to our love.
-Ramona Arena 2016.
The sun shines,
Through all shades of clouds.
Lights up the moon,
Remaining ever faithful
With infinite sunrises
And eternal sunsets.
And so we are the brightest light
That burns and blinds
The ignorant.
For from within us shines,
The beauty
Of the infinite power
Of divine love.

There is a place
Where you and I will soon meet again.
Eyes fixed upon each other,
Relieved with gratitude.
For we have found with and within ourselves,
The divinity of eternity
The sanctity of commitment
The answered prayer of love.
And so, we stand intoxicated.
Deep in the familiar embrace,
Of a hundred thousand lifetimes,
Where we are safely back home at last.
This, is our blessing called abundance!

Nevermind what you said
Nevermind what you did
Honey, I choose love.
Nevermind what happened
Nevermind what we had to go through
My love, I choose us.
Here and now
I stand with faith.
For You and I,
A path illuminates.
All is forgiven
For there is only love.
All is forgotten
For we are intoxicated with love.
We’ll get through all the moments
Of nail biting anxiety,
As the action movie of our lives
Will bring more challenges, I guarantee.
So flow into me, my darling
Together life has begun
We’re alright, we’re alive
We’ve survived, we’re eternal love.
-Ramona Arena 2015.
27th December.
People do things.
Stupid things.
Destructive things.
But everything can be forgiven –
Perhaps not forgotten.
Everything can be worked upon.
And healed.
Before you know it,
You’ve gotten through another hurdle.
Together, emerges stronger than ever.
– Ramona Arena, 21st December 2015.
What’s done is done.
What’s said is said.
What was felt was felt.
All in the moment.
The moment that was.
Right now is another moment.
A new one to live.
With an opportunity to create.
To be. To seize.
Head high. Chin up.
Walking tall.
Walking ahead.
Dignity. Strength. Grace.
Reasons are a plenty
But never one good enough
To look back, to contemplate.
Make the ‘what if’ happen now
Instead of entertaining wallow.
What’s gone is gone.
What’s happened is over.
What’s behind is irrelevant.
Head high. Chin up.
March on ahead, tall.
Sashay forth.
Dignity. Strength. Grace.
