MAE HIRAETH ARNA AMDANOT
( THERE'S LONELINESS ON ME FOR YOU )

Her shadow is
laughing.

Her shadow is
taller than a tree.

She is a key
for which there is

no door

a Polaroid photograph
dying in the sun

( fading into the nothing
from which it comes ).

My mind slashes through time
grasps this memory

of her
clutches it to itself

until once again Death
orders it to

. . .let go.

It...does so.

Her shadow
laughing.

Her shadow
taller than a tree.


Hiraeth, pronounced "here eyeth" is a Welsh word that has no direct English translation. It is defined it as homesickness tinged with grief or sadness over the lost or departed. It is a mix of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness, or an earnest desire...a homesickness for a home you cannot return to, or that never was.

Hiraeth is best buddies with the Portuguese concept of saudade (a key theme in Fado music), Brazilian Portuguese banzo (more related to homesickness), Turkish gurbet, Galician morriña, Romanian dor.

Perfect As you are, your the epitome
Of my existence and the flower that grows from my
Dome invading all my space courageously giving me
The upper hand to be your man in all this filth,
In all this rage,
In this wicked world , your my girl,
You might as well get use to it,
Abusing it,
Like prescription drugs,
Slow and vague as a slug,
Enquiry number of hugs,
I'll give you all the love that you need relentlessly
Claiming that you are mine and shouting to the world
That you're the one that has captured my body , my mind
And my soul,
Inside the space of my arms,
Your the one that I'd hold,
When I don't tell you my secrets then you thinks that it's cold,
She said "what are you afraid of" I said "wouldn't you like to know",
If you wanna feel yourself again just wiggle your toe,
Theres no choices in this life for us to make time go slow,
I have everything to live for , don't need a bone to throw,
If you wanna move to this place or this place then we'll go,
Pulling apart puzzle pieces of being a strong minded human being
Erasing things of the past then end up telling all your frienemies lacking
Discipline  and grace as you try to hold it together but it gets
Hard at times to wonder where you'll end up eventually,
I know no one will ever be into me,
And I've been fine with that since a pre-teen,
I got style and grace and creativity,
You're lacking all of the things that you seem to be.

the ever giving grace

( even as
death approaches )

And it does approach

In oh so may subtle ways

:;:

young lovers !

In this world of grief !


You must be wise

If your love would survive

""


and strong  !

( built into the very fabric
Of

The universe )

::

Solid !

Entrenched !

In all the truths there ever was !

)(

We come

Soft and gentle as Day



We approach

Each other

In the fine true ways

We met !

And LOVE


then the story

Gets Written Down

a story there for all to see & read

The parking lot
Is empty
The ballroom is a mess
There’s an untouched
Cake next to
An unworn dress
Today should have
Dawned a perfect new start
Now the champagne is nursing
A broken heart

Life is an splendid source.
A kiss can hack our heart.
A hug can cure sadness.
A Smiley, move clouds,
For a brighter day.

Look up to the sky
From your heart and your mind
To see what is true
To guide you through
-The only thing far is to exist
You can reminisce but don’t live there
The purpose of all life is learning
Over stand that be aware
Once you know the truth, don’t you go and tell no lie
Every life that’s born
Is also, meant to die
-*There’s only one race, of all Gods mankind
And that’s us the Human,
Full of variety by divine design
Times a straight curve abound
Just like ripples of sound
Be cautious in your actions
Cause what goes around, makes it back around
Pursue inclusion, not Exclusion!
Sincere just love, is the solution
For tomorrows without sorrows
Can you feel it down in your bone marrow
Call it Jai, or Allah, or better generic
G O D
Contained within the universe, inside of us
Is spirituality
LOOK UP TO THE SKY, FROM YOUR HEART & YOUR THIRD EYE
AND SEE WHAT IS TRUE, TO GUIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
LOOK UP TO THE SKY, FROM YOUR HEART & YOUR THIRD EYE
AND SEE WHAT IS TRUE, TO GUIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Now people look around
Work on every single frown
We must find common ground
And we can turn the world around
You gotta Do It Yesterday
Cause tomorrow is too late
This life here is for the living
Its your life you’ve been given
And so the choices that you make
Will either aid us or forsake
Everything the maker built up
Helix DNA, -Space traveler
Third Eye Mantra
As it was told to me, by the Almighty
Open up your third eye
And your heart, so you can see
Ya gotta
LOOK UP TO THE SKY, FROM YOUR HEART & YOUR THIRD EYE
AND SEE WHAT IS TRUE, TO GUIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
LOOK UP TO THE SKY, FROM YOUR HEART & YOUR THIRD EYE
AND SEE WHAT IS TRUE, TO GUIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
To guide what you should do
To see what is true
It’s what God wants for you
It’s what God wants for you
