What do you fear?
Deep down in the part of you that you never show
That slithers, seeking through your dreams
Leaving you moaning softly in your sleep trapped shroud
Grasping your heart with sharp ended talons
Running bony fingers up and down your spine
in those moments of unconscious reality
What do you fear?
That you bury deep and deny without knowing
That whispers unheard in your conscious thought
Thrilling your scraped bare nerves in the small quiet hours
Returning to scatter your comfort to the jaws of bone cold dread
Taking pieces of your certainty back to its lair to gnaw upon
Look in the mirror...

Ah, but I do see
I glimpse what you allow
My veils are of your making
My blindness built by you
I cannot see what you cannot bear to show

You think that you are safe
That I can't tear and devour your heart
Spitting it back to you
Piece by ****** piece
Leaving you groping in your perfectly blinded sight
for the why
Too late for questions

I know you don't see
Me here in the shadow
You have never seen me at all
Know this -
I am waiting
Watching

Its not the grand gestures
the media storms
the heroic deeds
that define a life
It's the everyday
the unnoticed
the ordinary commonplace
that play the part
Your stubborn temper
your quick laugh
your love of family
and how much you enjoyed shopping in discount stores
All the things that drove us crazy when you were here
We smile about
and miss now you are gone

I don't know how to say this
So I'll let the words fall out
I'm unhappy and I'm scared
Never thought I'd have this doubt
I feel we've disconnected
That we are parting ways
I want to share the same path
Not make my own to a different place
I feel that you don't notice me
Don't know me anymore
We don't have conversations
I'm met with silence when I talk
I know for sure you love me
But don't know if that's enough
I don't know if you are happy
With our lives; your life; with us
I want to share me with you
Need to know you want that too
Don't want to carry on like this
Treading water; me and you
I'm so afraid to have this talk
I'm so scared that we'll find
That our paths are now too far apart
No longer intertwined
How the hell did did we get here? ..........

My dog has written a poem
She penned it with her paws
She sends emails and closes documents
By licking my laptop with her big slobbery tongue!

What secrets do your dreams try to speak?
What do you know when you are asleep
that you can't remember when you are awake?
How do you know the difference?
Wake up......

You seek enlightenment?
You yearn to be at peace
Feel purpose, passion and intent
that goes beyond the you that you display
You want to stop the constant searching
Feel contentment and be able to accept and rest
knowing that all is as it should be and that this is enough
Oneness with all
Be warned. Enlightenment promises all of this and more
Presenting the illusion for you to understand and adapt
But if you seek a restful destination, then stop.
Before you cross the threshold know this:
You cannot unknow
You cannot return to blissful distortion
You cannot go back and disconnect from the boundless connection you have found
You will replace 'this shouldn't be' with 'this is' and all the rapture and agony that brings is yours to hold
You will share and feel the joy and pain of everything in the universe
You will love all
Including yourself
You will glimpse the mystery and it will stop your breath in awe and depthless knowing that it is yours to own and always has been
You will be infinitely connected in your moments of awareness
infinitely alone in your moments of illusion
No one without the other
Non-duality

I do not care for him
I do not lose my breath
When he speaks
My heart does not stop
When I meet his gaze
I do not ache for his touch
I do not care for him
Much
