No more loading The future With yesterdays past. As I carry my pain From shoulder to shoulder Hooked to an Unresolved past. I am imprisoned By my own balance and scales. Some grand devine plan As my wounded ego screams IT'S NOT FAIR A ruthless world Full of coldness That looks conteptious In one single cutting moment Shrugs its sholders Without remorse Is there no salvation No judge no jury This silence Can turn into despair While i run out of time I watch and cling To Each desperate plan As they crumble Whimper I watch them fall Down the drain Tormentened by an invisible clock Clicks like gunshots over head Like enemies tanks I feel thecrelentless Rolling forward of time My inflated ego broken By my own hand A projected past With a muddled mind I lose all hope of redemption and replace it with my pain Like the stripped king Why like job Did God abandone And forsake me There i go again I am part of some giant orchestrated plan Better that than to admit I can fall short and be human Eat humble pie My soul chokes I cant get it down This illuision too heavy The oxygen too thin As what goes up Must come down This plane can no longer carry my pain Hitting the runway of reality A detented world My Visions Explode Like gasaline And the worst of all Theres no going back But finally Maybe There will be no more loading the future With yesterdays pain

YESTERDAYS PAST
I reiterate my right to a slow repair. As disregard can leave footprints in someone's sole. As they step on flowers that they had once planted. Like Telling someone That you know is insecure. After making a promice. Maybe a misplaced promice And telling them "If you have to make a deal to get *** Your not going to get much in life are you" "I guess your right" I silent whisper repeats and repeats. Like a wicked mantra. Seeded by some demon or devil Dripping with in a smouldering disdain It circles and circles Like dogs around a wounded victim This might not be the saddest story ever told But its a momoent of consequence That shaped me In a little way That was not good Because somethings Do Matter.

Do Matter
What if they’re actually wrong. If you work on yourself meditate you will find someone's love and happiness. What if people connect through their darkness and not their lightness. What if the more light you bring the more they want to run. What if ease is just boring. And coherence just nothing. That every stress dissolved is another opportunity gone. Every issue handled well, somewhere less for them to hold on. What if the more you love, like hot potato, the more it’s a burden. What if a polished heart is just too bright, holds a perfect mirror. They all fear like Medusa. What if the deeper I carve out spaces, the further away they become. And the higher spaces I reach, the less that can follow. Some say contracts are made before we are born, but what if I have none. What if being chosen feels a lot more like Lonely exile. What if our job is not to find love but transmute pain. Am I to drift from pain to pain Like the 80s series Highway to Heaven Hobo the dog That kept just moving on And never finding home. Because actually they’re wrong.

What If They’re Actually Wrong
I pray that these words reach you, caught and cradled softly in your heart. Feathers all around. May these silent words be spread like nature’s busy bees. As they reach you on a breeze, within a humble scarlet bird’s song floating delicately on a leaf. Passed along a hedgerow, rabbit or shrew, hand by invisible hand, may a secret fairy whisper To the barefoot princess, An elfling That YOU ARE LOVED You are safe And You are free Sometimes that’s the only way my love can LAND Slipping through an invisible loop, as I transition through, and climbing up to some hidden higher dimension, cliff top, as we let emotions transmute softly in a transcendental flow. Let it travel through Shivas stillness along pathways of pure silence. As we sing with nature's chorus. Pathway to the divine, helter-skelter, Jacob’s Ladder. Let the love of Lord Shiva be your earth. As the Gods illuminate your path, and your mother Kaali guides you on your way. As I pray that these words Reach you Whether you read them or not.

Whether you read them or not
Don’t spout this new age self-congratulatory celebration of be happy alone. I lived with the unnoticed, far deeper in a desert unknown. Where those who were loved, accepted, embraced can never know. Where sensitivity is a fault, And care is just a mush That can’t survive The dry harsh landscape of desire. Not next to an oasis, supported by love and indulgent flesh, but deep in the dry desert where few hearts are left, where self-congratulation is bitten with sharp teeth and poison. When hope becomes like holding molten lead, as every meeting is a reminder of what you can’t have. As you find you’re too small, too short, too weak, too poor, too feminine, As your over-emotional. And just care Too much. As failure seeps into every cell, it would be easier to empty the ocean than to move freely into action. As there’s no surprise — yes. Of course she won’t validate. You’re just not a man. And yes, I guess I kind of already knew, right from the beginning. You’re just not enough. As in this unknown desert where my exposed ego burns by day while the abandoned soul freezes at night. As you’re asked that question why, like the movies, do the thirsty in the desert always spill their drink?

The Unknown Desert
There’s no grace here Just unfulfilled dreams and missed chances Please don’t try and crow bar Another happy ending Another mirage, not oasis Into an impossible escape Lest I project another goddess As her holiness Onto my surrounding High above On a mountain Somewhere out of reach As I beacon her With Gods above I hear the sound of trumpets playing Doorway to heaven And angels by her side But I just see brutal strangers **** her from behind It's not just another Netflix disappointing It's my devastation As I have waited My whole life By this bus stop In the rain Hoping it’s just late But really I know It’s not coming Because there’s really No grace here

No Grace Here
Don't be frightened Of my pet wound Please Don't Back off Or shy away I love him so deeply Despite all his pain As he loyally Follows me Every Single Day You see, He is A rescue case. Somewhere in a Forgotten past Something painful Something often Too painful To talk about But he tries so very hard To do it all right. We are companions Who traverse this Tricky land. And we Would both Very much love To share Our time If you would have us. With our tender edges. I promise, He means no harm— He is just looking For a missing part. Looking into his eyes You will see something soft Not scary Just insecure. I know he has his hackles up, Is a little bit yappy, Even nippy... But he means no harm. Underneath all those prickles Are feelings So very sweet And deep. But honestly, I understand— If you need to walk, No need to even talk, It’s not your pain. Because he feels A little bit sore— But he means no harm. Though you stretch my heart In ways so very profound, I feel my essence Spilling. So I gently Ask— Please don't be frightened Of my Pet Wound.

My Pet Wound
Why can’t you look at me That is all I ask Not to fix Not to save After all my crying And all my trying All I ask Is please look Are you even listening When I say I have tried absolutely everything Hold me in your heart Please don’t turn around Please Just look Let no empty promises Platitude, and platitudes Like raindrops fall Into empty hollow As we all know This uncertain world Listen Please Listen When I say I am broken Because all you do Is gaslight And pretend That there’s No problem Please don’t tell me It can be fixed When you haven’t Got A clue When I describe A problem Next time Please stick with me And hold on Carry me in a gaze Because it’s just my Little way of saying I just need Someone’s Loving

Someone's Loving
Be careful who you trust Nothing more deadly Than good intentions Dipped in blindness Nothing more dangerous than Care without wisdom The evil intent hides within the platitudes of the unaware It hides like lions Secretly in long grass The archetypal wolf In sheep’s clothing They prey on your weakness Their favourite victims Are the young The silent assassin Predators creeping through the night They Stealthily stalk your soul The thief slowly strangling you whole They seek to carve your soul With knives like butchers Hidden in friendly gestures With the soft threads Of a spider’s lair They build a sticky prison Laced with poetic thorn The worst of all They ask Abandoned self And we will love you more As weak men Love to shepherd The strong To quench their unconscious jealous As some people wish to steer your choices Because you trigger their own As sme people wish to crush your ambition Because they buried their own A conqueror's hidden fear But let your inner guide shine Let the Lord God guide us home To a promised land Where there's no Guilt, fear, or shame As I push back Not to hate But to love Love for self As my soul whispers With a silent growl NO A deadly stare That can see into night I pierce falsehood with soft glare Not to fright But to say I am here Like a leopards spots The more they rub The more I shine As I stand in truth My real Authentic self

Authentic self
Dear Mother Kali Thank you For blessing me With your loving child For however long And however short And let me love her How she needs Not how I want Be the guileless guide The sail that meets her sea For I am a missing piece But to a different puzzle Let me understand I do not need to be Congruent or aligned There's a beauty in The authentic blind And though I do not fit Let me meet life Where it touches And love from where I stand As I meet life Where it needs me Not by ego design For I am the Cathedral That never got quite finished Like they say A work in progress But just because there's Gaps in the roof It does not mean On this sunny day My Heart cant sing.
