El Garden de Gabriela

I’ve taken up indoor gardening. Reenforcing my bond with Mother Nature. Repotting myself too, in a sense, but that’s for another day. Rootbound and now unwinding, relaxing, stretching my essence. I’ve taken up indoor gardening. It’s become the best part of my mornings. A soft dance. A loving ‘good’ leaving my lips, the “morning” a finished…

At least my lips will never forget

You miss what we had and once loved, but most of all wanted. Our moments in time. Singular in that even when we were together, all that mattered was you. Time travel always bittersweet, every time left with the same feeling, same painful heartache. The conversations play out over and over vivid memories slowly fading…

I can’t fully explain the way I feel yet, but I do know that I never want it to end. Happy Monday! Gabriela Tejada **Follow my Instagram @astronomicalpoet & Twitter @Astropoet22 ** All images were taken by me unless stated otherwise.

5/30

You have this ability of making me feel safe & heard. Like I can let the mask and shield drop from my tired body, and allow myself to stand naked before you without judgment or fear. Together in bed, you interlocked our hands as we kiss and that tender moment has been burned into my…

May 27th

The way that the clouds slowly glide across the warm blue of the late spring sky is what inspires me to continue taking slow deep breaths of self reflection, and curiosity. I’m back.

My shade of Blue

You make me feel in that beautiful shade of soft blue that only shows up on clear nights as the sun is setting. Beautiful. Happy May! Gabriela Tejada **Follow my Instagram @astronomicalpoet & Twitter @Astropoet22 ** All images were taken by me unless stated otherwise.

April, the 8th

What I want most at this moment is to feel you.Your breath on my skin as I slowly close my eyes and allow my other senses a chance to get to know you.The softest of touch from your tongue.The sharp smell of your natural musk.The warm sound of your laugh.The smooth feel of your strong…

Hyperthermia

I’m scared to fall in love again. I’m terrified of free falling into the red abyss of vulnerability and acceptance. The thought of allowing you in while I’m still trying to see through my cracked heart hurts prematurely maybe it will never hurt but the phantom-like waves of drowning wash over me as my body…

Pray

We become so jaded in life so used to being hurt that anything else is terrifying. We write every interaction off because we think everyone is the same without understanding that, that then means we are too. As cliché as it sounds, everything happens for a reason. We meet people for a reason. We live…

Gratitude

As the snow falls and the lights dim the stars hide behind the gray of the cloudy night sky. The moon rests upon a bed of water while the sun warms all of the south. because every year it snows and every year we get older every year we cry and every year gets a…

The Being

Little situations alter it all, the moods the feeling the thoughts the being. from sunrise to moonlight, dimming rays and lessening shades of two-tone emotional extortion on the off railed tracks of the one-way train with the two-way cart to the unknown route. destination? seeping blue sea filled with silence. filled to the brim till…
