You see, trust is not just a simple word Without it, belief loses its true worth Without T, it’s just red-brown corrosive rust
I’ve been blessed with this ability to unearth It’s the moment when I was actually re-birthed I became a bit brain-less and somewhat dirt
Intuition guides me to listen to the unsaid words It’s when energy of communication stops matching the hertz It’s when there’re too many doubts under the surface of hurt
This way trust will never rise like a serene surge This way true love within can not be searched One day the inner & outer vibes need to merge
I know it isn’t easy to rebuild trust if it’s broken more than once But just don’t dwell in the stories that mind replays to reverse Try to connect with the nature of action & reaction of verbs
And if it is still crazy difficult to truly trust Then atleast be honest than to keep throwing the curves Coz what’s inside matters more than the sugarcoated-crust
Trust is the foundation of any solid bond in the Universe Family, friends, partner, pets, nature or work Without trust, there can never be respect, openness or love
👉 This is solely my pov…am not trying to define or prove anything…everyone has their reasons to trust or not to trust…and if it’s difficult to trust a person for any reason, at least be honest & vocal about it…gather the courage to say that as it is…coz that person deserves to know it…it will only be fair to both parties…
So here’s a different kind of sharing…it’s related to my younger son, Sofus-Samir…he has been passionate about 2 things…Animals & Fortnite…these days, it’s not so much Fortnite though…the main reason of Balou (the labrador dog) & Zorro (the cat) + some other cats previously joining our family is Sofus…he has always been attached to animals…
Since the past 3 months, he’s been going to Copenhagen Zoo to meet chimpanzees…yeah, chimpanzee family is his passion & love…he’s in the zoo 4-5 times a week…he feels home when he’s over there…one day, he wants to be a chimpanzee care taker…Sofus has been taking videos & photos at the Zoo…we, the parents are doing the same coz we find it interesting as well…the Zoo personnel knows him & the Chimp family recognize him…he communicates with them & observes how they behave…Sofus knows each & every chimp, including their individual personality….we thought why not support his passion & take it to the next level…why not share the pictures & videos with the rest of the world…why not let him grow his passion the way he wants to…why not tell his story…so, we’ve created his own YouTube channel last month…CHIMPANZEE TV—> youtube.com/@chimpanzee-tv
It’s been growing rapidly & we’re happy to see that people from all over the world are taking interest & subscribing to his channel…Just a few days ago, we created Instagram handle as well—> @chimpanzeetv_
If you have a kid in the family, who likes chimps &/or if you like them as well, then please do visit his YouTube Channel…the videos speak for themselves…please support Sofus by subscribing to his channel & whichever other ways you can…please spread the word to your friends & family if possible…it would mean a lot to him & of course, to me & the whole family…every single drop of your effort is highly appreciated 🙏✨❤️💫
The Backstory / Caption
Our younger son, Sous-Samir was diagnosed with Autism in 2019…today he’s 11 year old but when he was younger, he used to have bigger meltdowns…coz we, the parents & the previous preschool and school weren’t able to understand and handle his behaviour…we and the professionals around him didn’t have enough knowledge & guidance back then…later my wife and I found out that he has a PDA profile of autism as we started to observe him more & read about that type…it gave us much better understanding of the kiddo…and why previous autistic pedagogy had failed… luckily today we are in a much better place, but the early years has left its mark on him, making it difficult for him to overcome his fear of demands (PDA), particularly in a school context…
After a year of going to a public school with a small class for autist children and several traumatic experiences of retention, he ended up refusing going to school…and after a year at home, he was offered a special school for autistic children…however, this wasn’t easy for him either, like entering the premises…to be in the class room was close to impossible…the school tried everything they possibly could for more than a year but unfortunately, it didn’t work out well…they didn’t have expertise in PDA…but the municipality still kept forcing us & the school that he must continue…
The tussle with municipality started…several meetings with them, the consultants, psychologists etc…the municipality decided to send the kiddo to another school (chosen by them) with worse setup than the previous school…We did visit the school & talked with the principal & the personnel coz we wanted to give it a chance…even the principal of that school meant, they didn’t have the competence in PDA & it’s not the right choice…but the municipality didn’t care…they were still forcing us…so we lodged a complaint against them around one year back…The Danish Supervisory Board (Ankestyrelsen in danish), who was supposed to take the decision, had forgotten our case & we heard from them after one year…finally the decision came, where they had asked the municipality to reopen the case, check everything properly, take the decision & contact us…But in this back & forth tussle with the municipality, 4 years of Sofus’ potential school life has been lost…He has asked us several times why he simply can’t go to a school just like the other kids…it’s quite a difficult question, you know…he gets sad & angry at times coz the kiddo misses school, especially the school mates part- the companionship…
Last year, we were interviewed by a journalist…a couple of articles were then published in the local newspaper about Sofus…it’s to share Sofus’ story & to share how badly the municipality was handling our & several other cases…perhaps, due to pressure from the management – cost cutting structure…whatever it may be, it has taken away so many years & a lot of energy…and not to forget, this all has given stress…
On 10th June, we were informed that the municipality is still recommending the same school…that school choice was the result, we lodged our first complaint…so nothing new has come out from their side…this is crazy frustrating, disappointing & we’re quite shaken…the kiddo is very sad & angry…he was showing those emotions verbally & as if he were an alpha chimp…the whole 2024 will be gone in this tussle…we’ll be lodging a new complaint…the fight continues…sighs…
However, we strongly believe whatever happens, it happens for a reason…the Universe has its own plan…and while leaning into that trust, we will support his passion for animals as much as we can…and hope you will support him too by subscribing to his YouTube channel and/or following him on Instagram…thank you very much for reading this far and for your love, support & care ✨💜💫
I can clearly recall the night when this poem came to me. The sleepless night & restlessness in me with those memories turned into this poem and my night into morning. Creating spoken word of ‘The Mourn Sky’ is another baby-step forward towards letting go & to see a glimpse of love in pain ✨❤️💫

I’m sharing the second poem that was published in Adelaide Literary Magazine’s No.61 issue, October 2023…l hope you’d enjoy reading – The Mourn Sky ✨🌕💫☀️
The Mourn Sky
I haven’t slept a minute the whole night Coz I’m stuck with me in this lost fight The restlessness in me is like a landslide Reminiscing the scenes with my wet eyes
I know the reality, it’s so black-white I still dream if the things were otherwise The longing to kiss the lips at times The feeling to simply melt when I hold tight
It takes me to this place with warm light I can’t even speak this moment coz I’ve no voice So I touch buttons on my screen to flow rhymes To dissolve the feelings while I see the mourn sky
I know my reality, it’s my own choice Coz the purpose of me is to give life To live from the deep is to keep dying The love grows in me like a beautiful child
I haven’t closed my lids this whole time But it’s time to wake up is the inner calling To shed my skin made of wants & desires But I’m just a human, I too bleed & sigh

It’s a single take recording of a piece that I wrote in October 2019…this is the longest poem, that I’ve ever written…it’s more of a storytelling – a story of joy, happiness, courage, family pressure, sadness, pain, sacrifice, suffering & trauma and it has come from the seabed of my heart…
Please bear with me as this spoken word is almost 9 min 30 sec long…I know, it’s crazy long; it’s also my very first time…do know that I’m not seeking anything…it’s simply a pure sharing in this open space…
Back in October 2022, Gabriela Marie Milton asked me if I would be interested in submitting a poem for her very first project under her own publishing house, Literary Revelations…I said Yes coz of 2 reasons, even though I had stopped participating in anthologies…I’ve known Gabriela (through WordPress) almost from the very beginning of my poetry journey…she’s a kind hearted person, a very talented writer, a dedicated professional & I have deep respect for her…Secondly, the theme of the anthology – Hidden in Childhood…I felt this poem has found its place…Gabriela was exceptionally kind coz she accepted my poem even though it’s llllonggg…it’s an honour to be published along with several other amazing & talented poets…Hidden in Childhood: A Poetry Anthology is available on Amazon
I hope you’d give your precious time & listen to this spoken word…thank you very much ✨❤️💫

I’ve been punched on the face with guilt several times I’ve been wronged with fingers, lips & those questioning eyes I even believed what I was told coz I was weak, I won’t deny But I’ve learnt with time to stand tall & true in low & high tides
It seems everyone’s life has turned pale coz of my dirty screen As if I’m the only reason of the suffering, pain & the screams As if it’s me who’s injecting anger with that pointy syringe As if I’m the one grilling the skin with my charcoaly heat
I was once asked ‘howcome I haven’t learnt anything when I was about to die?’ And why I was still snapping even when my wires were twisted & dire At that time I felt as if I was the witness of my own bloody trial Today that picture has changed & I think, I’m able to breathe the inner silence
If people haven’t confronted you before, then everything has its first time Try to take off those ego-lenses & look closely in the eco-iris, is my advice Several answers you might find floating freely in that liquid shine The rest you’d discover gradually when the self will see the very I
I am neither a RoboCop, who arrests nor a Terminator, who shreds And I accept that I commit mistakes coz I too have a human shade But I am constantly upgrading me with the only constant while I defrag But if you still wanna point finger at me, then be my middle finger guest
Note: “you” in this poem doesn’t mean you – the reader

Don’t walk like this in your silky skin infront of me Incredible My craving for you is crawling up a mountain frenzy Irresistible You’re looking red hot & my eyes are burning destiny Inflammable
Gaining your trust while I throw you with my rawness on that turf Animal Messing with your mind & body while I pull your messy hair Animal Tearing your peace in pieces while I look deep into your big eyes Animal
Whispering my twisted words in your ears to reach your red crystal Sensitive Sketching on you with my sharp nails to make you whisper pain with your deep vocals Sensual Shaking you intensely to awaken your senses to make a connection with your crying soul Spectacle
Biting your tender flesh slowly to calm my hunger with my hungry teeth Oh, I feel like an animal My lips are sticky & shaded as I taste the thick red that you’re bleeding I think, I’m an animal Even the wind under dark heavens of hell is howling crazy Yeah, I’m an animal
I see you in my mirror & my lens is bleeding red visuals Ahh, I’m so bloodthirsty animal I see you in my shadow & I look like that fiery dragon Wo, I’m so scary animal I see you shattered & scattered all over my dark ground Rahh, I’m so brutal animal I disappear in darkness after killing your dying soul to be one with the new you & eternity Yeah, I am that tainted & untamed animal
