Forbidden Waters Walking slowly Yet How did I arrive so quickly Forbidden waters Innocently taking a nurturing role Yet Longing for something else Forbidden waters Not knowing Yet It was evident Forbidden waters So young Yet So old Forbidden waters I am here Yet I do not know what to do Forbidden waters Feels so new Yet Feels so comfortable Forbidden waters So confusing Yet Completely understood Forbidden waters

Forbidden waters
From the moment of birth Our instincts of survival Bring us down to earth We dream of the fairy tale world we wish to live Hoping to be happy and learning to give When we reach our peak and buld the person we want to be Something happens to our security of survival and our friends become our rivals Rolling, Rolling, over and over again back to the bottom for another spin Our Minds unclear of the person we built to be Instincts of survival have taken over you see control is lost Survival at any cost Aimlessly we wander Hurting the ones we love Until our thoughts we launder The world again becomes our dove Repeated over and over again Each time the threat of survival blows in the wind. You see we are really just animals with the ability to think but we forget it all until our survival becomes almost extinct Its an understanding We all need to have because survival will dissapate for all mankind Unless we reach for the star we were

Survival
Leaves from the weeping willow tree sway so tenderly in the wind The fingers of mothers engulfing the world offering their protection Turning a blind eye to all the imperfections Grasping on to all that pass by Omnipresent, caressing, reassuring, nurturing Swaying so freely respecting what is worldly The limber limbs seem to smile touching all Saying won’t you put your faith in me Embracing warmly all that is the being Even so the wind becomes still The limber Limbs once flowing so freely fall to the ground Releasing the seeds Some producing beautiful flowers others becoming the darkness Thriving on the imperfections The Willow Tree stands tall and begins to flow freely once again Accepting the impurities and becoming stronger Eager to scoop up the darkness For There is no Perfect World

For There is no Perfect World
The vivid memories of my childhood Go deep within my mind Towering the intense pain to the sky Throwing the sunlight away Seeing the stars jet past me Now I lay in my coffin of sorrow Listening to the whispers of death Telling me what to do I sit and devour all the happiness And sit and enjoy the sadness Smashing my hopes for life into the ground I see the glowing peace of some happiness left The silky touch of my life The smooth touch of death Could this be the end or Is it the beginning

My Childhood
Tiger Eye Searching for that which is lost Once found Now gone Yet always with me The tiger eye pierces my soul Soothing the inner emptiness Feeling warmth and love Gently I stroke the tiger eye My fingertips carassing I see my reflection In the tiger eye...........

Tigers Eye
The air so crisp The sun so bright only nature calling to me smelling the pureness that surrounds me allowing me to breath deeply inhaling all the pains and so forcefully releasing as I sit at the mountain top I hear the winds whispering to me your soul belongs to me the earth the sun the water the air and for a moment I am pure giving me strength to smile wipe away the tears and descend from the Mountain top back into the world refreshed willing and able to love once again The Mountain Top

The Mountain Top
Let this kiss be a lasting one One that burns for eternity As hot as the brightest sun The end of the quest for certainty . Let our bodies touch Our entanglement melts into one existence all time stops for such a lovers trance . Let your pleasure be my pleasure A fire that cant be tamed Lifes treasure The fires flame . Let me be your only desire A special place in your heart The only one to quinch your fire and never to part.
