Upon the word of the law ....     ....    ....

& so

We speak in soft whispers

( everybody must find shelter
                                                     Every child MUST be served )

••

We are the bridesmaids of Wind

The sea nymphs

The holy sword

We are the -- people

--

The cross is broken

We come to heal the promise



We are of one Strength

Pure and Honest

••

                                               Hush !  What shall we do ?

In the middle of this circus

We are the people !

••

In hushed whispers

Come !

Let us to it now !

Let us do what must be done
The soul is but a funny thing
Can it really be forever
And the secrets of this quantum realm
Can it hold this world together

Love and fear exhaust the mind
Bringing us to our knees
Upon our anger we draw strength
For envy, hate and greed

Disturbing are the dreams of this poet
Restless is my flight,
I shed the blood of a hundred demons
Who somehow stand and fight

To come to terms with yesteryear
Is a strength I lack within
Oh how I miss you my dear
And I wish I'd never sinned...
Here I am kneeling down
I can't feel the pain on my knee
How long it may take
I can wait for you
But the pain in my heart
can't be bearable
Sunrises and waking up
I look for your reply
Sun goes down I check
My phone an other time
Nothing went wrong says my mind
Something's wrong says my heart
It's been couple of days you texted me
It became couple of years in my assumption
Didn't know what made you sad
Didn't know what made me a stranger
But still I am waiting for you
Praying for understanding your pain
Which I myself cannot find it
Staying on my knee and trying to
Find what was going on in between us
Sometimes it was hard to find
What wrong you have done
We have...
Questions but no answers
Trying too hard to make it right
when all I do is make the air tight
I try to understand the pain
The more I do the less trust I gain
There is only one me in the world
If I could pay someone to make it happy for me I would.
But unfortunately the karma is too big to risk
Who to trust and who not to
that's always between a rock and a hard place
But maybe that hard place is just made out of cardboard
My life was too big to handle
so I forcefully stuffed it in a bottle
And now I can't get it out, without breaking the bottle
But the thought of broken glass tearing it apart leaves me to stare
For now my life will remain in the bottle.

Thoughts come and go
The body burns, yet soul carries on.
Words engraved on paper,
Tattoos engraved on skin.
Both thoughts of the inner soul
Pleading to be heard, to escape.
To be understood during its short existence.
Papers color in age, get brittle,
Become hard to read.
Tattoos fade through the years,
Become less a statement and harder to understand.
although time on this planet is short,
The soul will carry its message for eternity to come.
Like a perfectly placed tattoo engraved to this world forever.

Come to mountains be my love

Bring your death here bring your child

Come to me and  bring your love

Bring tomorrow and all seasons ... ... ... ...
... ... ... .., ...              ...

We wither in the heat of war and greed

Let us not die

Let us vow

Not to die

••

The winds blow cool and oh so brittle
Are our bodies hearts and souls

Through the wild and living forests

Of these mountains we call - home

/""/

We are here within eternal riddle

Eternal poetry and song

/\/\

Come to me and be my love

My mountain power

My subtle grace

My humble vision my integrity

The holy river

The sacred sea
I wonder, love, if you see
these stars that hang over me
or if you, so far away,
forget to look up?
My first attempt at a Doditsu poem...
