I have been fascinated by words since a young age and the love grows stronger every day. They have power and it is a power I have grown to respect with quite a fondness. I see them turn into ideas - moving, settling, breathing, taking on a life of their own.
who are you?
but a boy grown tall.
who are you?
that can love us all.
who are you?
but a tree that speaks.
who are you?
that offers wise techniques.
who are you?
but a spirit come to life.
who are you?
that senses all world strife.
who are you?
but a small kind word.
who are you?
that stirs the heard.
who are you?
but my dear friend.
who are you?
whose life I must commend.

My soul is a sword.
This life is my fire.
My choices are the hammer.
I will cut through the veil,
I will reveal the truth.

When we have fear in our hearts, apathy is the compass.
The distance traveled is our pain.
When we have faith in our hearts, love is the compass.
The distance traveled is our joy.
Mind follows heart,
painting pictures of the scenery.

When a flower wilts, does it feel pain?
When the Queen bee dies do her workers grieve?
When a tree loses a limb, does it feel sad for its loss?
When the rain drowns the ants does it feel ashamed?
Do the salmon hate the bear?
If all these answers are not so,
and all these things are made up of the same things I am,
then why must I feel these things?

Most cringe at the fringes of reality, mind-splitting dualities
tear apart what's known, but its a start to grow, a seeker, a
keeper of secrets you have grown to be, yearning to be free by
learning what has to be, but you dare not to care, to show the
divine glow, hiding by gliding behind the shadows, and now
twisted wits slit your mental capacity fastening locks that
casually create apathy, now callously you afflict, lifting veils
that trick, gifting secrets by sifting through weakness,
designating your self a genius, resignating your true gist with
lists of accomplishments that compliment your ego, letting go of
your whole creating a hole that needlessly creates your
deviousness of pure meanness that's created quite an inconvenience
to a once great friendship.

Awaken me,
I say.
Painstakingly,
I began to see.
What's this?
This,
this beautiful bliss.
Around me,
surrounding,
bounded...
but free.
Free to grow,
free to give,
free to show,
how to live.
True love,
is around us,
not above,
but bounded.
You and me,
you are me.
you are free,
free to be.

the pendulum swings
I hit the height of it all
and then that pause
the apex of it all
THIS IS THE EVERYTHING
so it seems
just in that pause
everything else fades
blinded by emotion
deaf by thoughts
and then
something moves
a shift
a cosmic slap
everything shatters
and light breaks through
and the colors flood in
wrapping themselves around you as you fall back down
and slowly
every so
slowly
you feel balanced again
you laugh
how ridiculous that ourburst was!
how important it had seemed!
but the laugh stops short
because the shift is still happening
you are still moving
and you groan
because you know that the pendulum is still swinging.

You pillaged my heart
***** my mind
You gorged my soul
stole my innocence
yet
why do you insist on having more?
I gave you my light
I gave you my dark
I let you use my body
for all your sick pleasures
yet
why do you insist on having more?
you conquered me
I have nothing left to give
yet
still you insist on having more.
