American The cake is a lie.
I have all I want I look around and appreciate all I have Most of which given to me It is easy and comfortable to live But I sit here with a dense heart Ready to rid of all this and follow the dreams and fears that are in the back of my head I can't be challenged when I'm comfortable at home I don't have a clue where I will go But any of the roads I see will take me to the place I need to be

A Ship Without a Sail
I miss it All of it The warmth, the touches, and the softening of myself I melt my energy and inner ego Letting myself be transparent in the moment She transitioned me from the sun to the moon But I could not give her the light she needed She needed to find her own illumination But I'll still never forget What is

Softening
Instead of enjoying the simple beauty of nature We fight over who or what made it Instead of loving each other on the ground we live on We fight and **** over territory and resources Instead of holding hands with each other We clench our fists Instead of opening our hearts and minds We strangle and forever hold onto old ideas Instead of living from instinct of the body We live and see by facts and straight lines Instead of thinking about everything you do and always searching for constant stimulation's or distractions Enjoy your feelings for they are and love the world with your senses

How many more thoughts until you make your next move? How many pros and cons? How long should you decide to decide? Let be and stop killing the great spontaneousness of life Only then can you truly understand the good and bad Be great but with many hard times Be unique but with much resentment from others This life is set in such a way where it is better than any dream you could have Only here can you be close to death but feel more alive To lose everything then gain everything To be a the person you think about everyday right now A whole infinite journey... Just for you

A Journey For Only You
Again on my mind Here goes another poem to unwind I can still feel her in my chest We did what hurt but was truly best We grew together But in the end we both needed to be better To grow stronger while being alone It was time to be our own Don't think I forgot that last kiss As if I could even resist And when time has passed Maybe we can give each other a friendship that will last

Alone So I Can Be my Own
Same problems and same complaints Different mouth and different person All wish to get better but won't be better They want joy but never give joy Who want to get by rather than fly over all Unwilling to adapt to the new environment The play is still the same Overcome or become extinct

Same Show Different Stage
The worry and fear in you of going into that empty coffin Do you really believe? Or is it that you ought to believe? You like being you and fear that you will never express yourself again But you take a form of energy Remember in school when they said energy can not be created nor destroyed Why that is you too Afraid of never having another experience How could it be? What did you fear before you were even born? It is the same experience and not that empty black box you imagine A block of ice does not fear of turning into water Nor does the water fear of turning into the mist that is all around you Life and Nature knows nothing of your silly questions Give yourself your own permission to feel and live spontaneously and have a good dance on this life's stage

The Infinite Experience Of You
We grow We are not made We can not be assembled We complex ourselves mentally and physically From seed to tree To leaves and apples Unique with feelings They can't be put into words Only expressed Make the history of mankind a great one More love less hate More expression and less depression I don't know me without you and you can't know you without me I can't see my own eyes without a mirror What lies behind my eyes? I feel myself beat my heart and fall into the feeling of love But never in my mind do I decide to There is nothing to say, only to feel Be love and receive love Know kindness and receive kindness Be true to yourself and receive people who will be true to you For today you possess the people in your life based upon the person you are The better you holds better rewards Never stop growing

From the Universe to the Soul
Find your candle Light it Show everyone how bright it is Some will come to blow out your light They may fail or succeed But you still are holding the candle and the matches Don't hide it under the table or in the corner but where it illuminates the whole room Let it be yours and let others find you from the darkness Then and always will they protect it Light someones world and they will light up yours

Reignite Your Candle
Her face comes up when I replace my negative thoughts All I could need simply fades Distant, but still I know the scent of her where I can almost taste and feel The senses are as real as when we dream I do not suppress myself but allow to express in me that which comes from me For if I retain it would end in eternal pain This is not to obtain or gain but to make amends To my heart for what my mind has done
