These are some of my favourite poems by Namida. They would be written during 2004 I think, as she grew and matured into a seasoned woman, strong, with scars but yet with some hope. In Janurary 2004 I kicked out my husband after a fight which broke my nose, and a few months later we were divorced. This became a year of freedom and adventure for me, of new beginnings and strength.
Awakening from dream
A lonely night; filled with longing dreams
Of a distant sun, now hidden behind clouds
To feel the caressing touch of the sun
Grazing my skin with its warm soft touch
Upon a gentle breeze fragile fragrances linger
Of flowers beautiful, blooming in the summer
Whistles from the branches, green with leaves
Birds singing in the evening light, of dreams
To see the evening sky turn from pink to indigo
While the night settles over a glade in the forrest
Grasshoppers sitting on straw, greeting the night
A frog in a nearby stream, calling for his love
Soft words spoken in the dusk of a summer night
Of love so dear and tender, forever to be together
Slowly I realize and feel the linens surround me
Awakening to another day, in the Castle of Ice
Of words
Of words never spoken, feelings never felt
Time passes by, a missing piece of friendship
Taken away, torn by the dreams of another
Not to be, a sorrow fills the shining heart
Of words never spoken, feelings never felt
Did such a thing ever happen, to bring joy
Sadness casts shadows over the early morn
To loose what was held dear, in friendship
Of words never spoken, feelings never felt
Time was precious, every moment enjoyed
Spending time, in easy talk and discussion
Building gently in trust, what now cannot be
Of words never spoken, feelings never felt
A friendship held dear, by those with hearts
Following the unspoken wish, of one beloved
Stepping back, accepting how it is, in grief
Dreaming
Breezes in the warm summer night, caresses my skin
Makes it tingle; sensations, shifting like a soft wind
Stars shine high above, casting light over a glade
Whispers in the night, messages of an unknown nature
Shadows move in the eve, barely seen, approaching
Filling the vision with dark forebodings and fears
Shivers of anxiety run down my spine, sending thrills
Of foreign nature through my body, trembling suddenly
Wrapping a blanket closely, trying to keep my warmth
Gazing about, hoping to see the light from the stars
Purging away dark tidings; of dangerous causes awaiting
Fearful of a future to come, will strength mine be enough
Alone on a pillow, hair spreading out like golden water
Unfitful dreams not remembered, sends drops running down
A lonely tear rolling slowly, from an eye closed in sleep
Fine lines of worry, furrow the forehead, worried, alone
Dreaming in the night, of words forbidden and fears unseen
Longing for gentler days, free of worry and questions
Awakening slowly, rising to face what awaits a shining heart
Bracing myself, making ready to do what must now be done
The Battle has not yet begun, against unjust imprisonment
In a dance of shadows, the like never seen outside this home
To take one step at the time, information must be sought
An angel of light rises, to stem the oncoming tide of dark
Of fears unspoken
Of fears unspoken, dreams not dared dreamt
A battle of light and dark, wielding a blade
Love felt so dearly, not to be compared again
Holding so closely, fearing to loose what is
Trembling silently, in lonely nights of cold
Of fears unspoken, dreams not dared dreamt
Shadows fills the night, embracing in fear
Shining brightly, a lonely star standing strong
To surround a heart with love dearly, tender
Sharing words of love, in whispers secret
Of fears unspoken, dreams not dared dreamt
Who are we to battle, against a tide of dark
Bracing readily, filled with strength of love true
An angel of salvation, standing ready to protect
Saving a fallen one, to free a soul from shadows
Of fears unspoken, dreams not dared dreamt
Images of peaceful times, where love is true
Free of shadows, to dance in light ever happy
Standing side by side, ready to embrace a light
Sharing love so dearly, happily ever after
Of fears unspoken, dreams not dared dreamt
Words must be spoken, to prepare in trust
Against what must come, time to break free
Together do we stand, stemming darkened tide
Darkness that must be stopped, in the light of love
Of fears unspoken, dreams not dared dreamt
Love fills us strongly, will be the liberator
To tear free a soul, from the shadows that dance
Golden light from a star shining, will never falter
Filled with love unfaltering, for a dancer so dear
Of friendships dear
Of friendships dear, of shadows deep
To meet, in the freezing night of cold
A warmth, a friend, is a treassure told
Of golden light and shining gems true
Held closely to the beating heart blue
Rarely found is such a light
That can outshine the darkest night
To this, we celebrate the right
Of friendships dear, of shadows deep
To hold so close, friendship so dear
Brings strength and peace to feel no fear
Securely held in friendly love, to rest
This can only be found among those best
Rarely found is such a light
That can outshine the darkest night
To this, we celebrate the right
Of friendships dear, of shadows deep
Slowly darkness of winter nights creep
Making the mountain to climp all to steep
In shadows that threatens to cover us all
Is a friendship that never is seen small
Rarely found is such a light
That can outshine the darkest night
To this, we celebrate the right
