Poem: Heartbeats
Twist and turn
Fire burning
Foggy mind
Dream away
Intertwine
With me
Together
In a rhythm
Only we know
Heartbeats
Only we hear.Truth is behind
Your hidden smile
Follow me
In my dreams
Wake me up
From myself
Forget yourself
Devote your soul
Let me see
What crawls insidePeace and Love,

Poem: Darkness falls
Floating away in the clouds above
Between the sun and moon
I dream of tomorrow
Where we’re destined to
Exist in the presence of
All of creation
When darkness falls
Universe is no more
Light years from here
You will be at peace
Resting in space.Peace and Love,

Pick up the pen and write
When you’ve stopped writing creatively and haven’t picked up the pen for a while, it can be daunting to start, the expectations creep up on you and you want to perfect a piece so badly. But it’s important in those moments to just stop and take a breath, not overthink your creative process too much even if it’s easier said than done. I have found that the easiest thing and the method that has worked more times than not, is to just sit down with either my laptop or a pen and paper and start writing words that come to me. The words are key words to what is coming through to me in the moment, those words usually spark some sort of thought where I spin off from. Sometimes the words can lead to a whole stanza and sometimes it’s just a row of words. That is fine. The main part is that you’re creating, you’re using your energy to put mind and thoughts into words. One day those words and creativity creates an outcome which is worth putting out there for others to read and be inspired by, other days it doesn’t feel entirely there yet. You just have to keep on doing it, keep showing up for yourself and keep creating and be in tune with inspiration. Because I don’t believe inspiration only strikes us at certain times and that we need to catch those few moments. I believe we can tap into and connect with our creative frequency more often if we try to show up and tap into that sphere of reality. It doesn’t feel like a part of reality when the words just flow out of you, it feels like some sort of force of energy trying to get the words out on paper. To convey a message. Perhaps a message we have long waited to hear. From the universe.

Poem: Peace and Harmony
The invisible pain
Building up inside
The tears flowing
Boiling through
The deepest well
Will we ever be?
Known and free
Will we ever know,
peace and harmony?Flowing back and forth
Two sides of a coin
Tides and flows
Moments in time
Just like the whispers,
I call out carefully
In the moonlit nightPeace and love,

Poem: Memory Lane
It’s hard to be stuck in a moment
In between memory lane
Thoughts and dreams go hand in hand
Come on in and open your heart
I just want to see the smile
One more time.
Years pass us by in an instant
We never look back and question why
Always running forward to the future
Just stop and breathe
Why the rush
We can catch up soon enough
Eventually.
Peace and Love,

The Struggles of Writing a Novel
This journey of writing my novel started way back, I believe it was almost 8 years ago when I got the idea to write a book. I started it off and a year later I changed my mind and didn’t continue with that story. It all went back and forth and I was having inspirational periods of time when I really put all my energy into it, and becoming disappointed at the process a few months later. The struggles of writing was a fact. I had always been writing poems and journaling, so that never really stopped throughout this time – but my book story was halting and was eventually paused for a few years due to lack of inspiration.
I intended to write a story that involves a lot of multicultual aspects to it, and things were by that time happening in my life that made me feel that I didn’t need to write that story anymore, until I went to India a couple of years ago. Something really hit me during that trip and everything came back to me, my desire to write my story. That is what I am doing right now. I am more determined than ever to complete it this time around. The intention is to write almost everyday, or at least sit with it every day and see what comes to me. If I ever find myself doubting or having writer’s block, I now know that I can get through it and move past it. It’s all about how much motivation and desire to write the book you have, because if you don’t have that, the book is never going to write itself.
I have made myself a little soft deadline to follow, which makes it easier for me to follow through. By the end of this year I will have a complete draft version of the entire story. I will edit it several times after that and ask very nicely to one of my dearest friends if he wants to read it, which he’s promised to do. 🙂 I just haven’t finished the book for more than 6 years. Long overdue. The idea is to try to get it published, otherwise I will self-publish it and distribute it myself. For me the importance is to get it out there and have it completed, that is my ambition and goal. I hope that my story can can help someone who’s been in my situation as well.
Stay tuned here for more information on this topic. I know several of you have been cheering on throughout the years and wanting to read it, I am very grateful for having all the support from people all over the world. Writing is our passion but it is just as well a very difficult passion to have. No matter what, you can’t live without it.
Peace and Love,
Kimmi Niroopinder Sandhu
P.S. Some of you might have noticed me using my real names interchangably, and there is no other explanation than an identity crisis. 🙂 Swedish vs Indian. Always struggling, always real.

Poems: No more dreams
Dreams are the window to the inner soul
What we really desire and long for
Appear before our eyes in the full moon night
The truth of our inner secrets come clean
In the dawn of light
Closing my eyes to see clearly
The images flash by in an instant
Holding onto the last moments
Lifetimes of love tear me apart
In two pieces
One more raw than the other
Suffocating when I can’t breathe in
The full spectrum of,
Your oxygen.
There is no answer to what I believe
No matter what is being said
Dreams can only tell, in time.

Poem: Coming Home
My journey started where it will end
Oceans and lands away from here
A place I call my real home
Inner dual voices tell me
How to really feel
Letting go of the imaginary world
Float deeper, and deeper
To another dimension
Looking up at the sky
Wondering where we will go
Do we meet after all of this
When the questions have been answered
I have been waiting for this
All of my lifetimes
To finish what I started
The unfinished story
Of another time and age

Poem: Unfinished business
Running away from here
Looking back in sorrow
Reaching out for tomorrow
Where I would find
The story complete
Now it’s only,
Unfinished business.

Poem: Morning Haze
When we dream of tomorrow
And yearn for yesterday
We see the world through a lens
Of foggy, morning haze
