Mine became a life of chaos
Lived on the edge of a knife
Balanced for eternity
Caught between death and life

In the end the fear of living
Burned me to the very core
Without my anaesthetic
I knew I could take no more

There was no fight left in me
I had no heart that I could give
I had no way of surviving
It cost me too much to live

Into a well of silence
I breathed a desperate prayer
Uncertain of an answer
Or who might be out there

As I listened in confusion
The solution came to me
Live a life of honesty
The truth could set me free

So I stepped in the future
I discovered my true worth
And after the death of winter
Came spring my season of rebirth
Last of the seasonal quartet about life; depression and addiction

there are times when you

work mechanically.

you don't feel like

a human.

you don't feel

life.

all you focus is

a rat race.

*Even if you won the race you would be a big rat.
Big rat.. took from a book

Gusto kong umiyak -- gusto kong ipasalo Sayo ang bawat luha, bawat luhang matagala nang gustong bumaha -- gustong bumaha at magpatangay Sayo.

Sa bawat pagkakataong ibinubuhos Mo ang Iying presensya -- mga pagkakataong lumayo ako Sayo -- lumayo ako sa kabila ng pag-ibig **** pang-walang hanggan. Oo, oo at sigurado akong patuloy akong kakapit Sayo gaya noon -- noong unang beses kong pinanghawakan ang bawat pangako **** kailanma'y hindi pumalya. Mga pangakong akala ko noo'y hindi na mangyayari -- pagkat noo'y nagpatalo ako sa sarili kong panahon at binalewala ang oras **** mas mahalaga.

Mahal Kita at walang katapusan ang alay Mo. Ni hindi ko kayang palitan o mapantayan o higitan ang pag-ibig Mo.

Kailan Ka ba sumuko? Wala akong matandaan kahit ang tanda ko na -- kahit ang tanda ng orasan sa tabi ko. Napapagod ako, nanghihina ako at bumibigay ako pero kahit kailan, Ika'y patas -- patas ang pag-ibig Mo.

Kanina ko pa gustong ituntong ang mga paa ko sa hagdan -- sa hagdang patungo Sayo. Na kahit di Kita masilayan ngayo'y aabangan Kita at hihintayin Kita. Gusto kong iluhod ang lahat, ilatag sa paanan Mo ang bawat sakit kasi hindi ko kayang mag-isa. At kung pupwede lang na bumaba Ka ngayon, kung pwede lang -- ay yayakapin Kita.

Ama, kung ganito man ang tamang pagsambit ng Ngalan Mo; yakapin Mo ang anak **** lantang-lanta na't uhaw sa presensya Mo. Kung ganito ang paghihintay na kailangan kong maramdamang may mga bagay na hindi kayang ayusin, hihintayin pa rin Kita.

Wala, wala na akong masasambit pa. Tinig Mo pa lang, kahit simpleng bulong lang, ako'y napaluluhod sa galak. Iiyak na naman ako at mismong sa harapan Mo, ibibigay ko ang lahat -- Sayo ang lahat, Ama. Sayo, oo Sayo.

Good and bad days are
Results of your actions

So, Don't complain

Just enjoy the moment

*Remember in many cases

You are just an observer

Rather than an active participant
Just a thought

Don't look for God,
He is always with you.

Instead, show his Love to others
With your Kindness.

*You Smile and the World will Smile

After All We All made of same Star Dust

Her shoulder rose like the moon
above the black velvet of bolero jacket
She took his arm, his eyes--
An apogee
She took the room
in reverence

So slowly
shed the mountains
shed the light
hand to touch their wonder
Gazing after
her noiseless ascent
which never happened
while they watched....

Pearls—
roll against warmth
luxuriating offspring
cool encircling
contents iridesce
their energies’ warning:
Nothing quite that simple
Nothing quite that still

Nothing like the opulence
on the Proud Eve of catastrophe

Pearls—
caught in the lining
of what never happens the first time....

She heard them before she saw them
rip their orbits!
fission her universe!
in the mezzanine of the symphony hall
Pin ball in the Fun House
Bingo bounce
off—
the hardwoods of space....

Universal Theory of Scatter?
Even now I can still hear the clatter
of their round smooth souls
in the doorways of distant relatives

How could I know?
You would condemn me
to find them all?
I think it is possible to know the high water mark of your life.

Somes mistakes cost you a lot
You really don't have enough
Time or strength to focus
On the damages it made

You take a sedative
You try to cover the scar
That it has left

Deep inside
How busy you might be

They haunt you like a
Dark figure
That you dreamt about
When you are all alone
In your childhood

All your nerve connections
Try to fetch the same old memory
And you have no option
But, stick to the same channel

I wonder how I am surviving
This ever lasting darkness

I know hope is a very dangerous word

Which always lets you stay
While you actually want to leave

That one hope
Helping me to fight back
With all the strength I had

In the world that completely
Busy with her improvements

No time for me to wait
But, just to catch up
And reach
Before the train left my station
Just a thought, to motivate myself.. I hope my hope will help me .. whatever I do..

Your believes
Doesn't have to be someone's

You are being made to believe
Things which are not real

When you close your eyes
You know the exact truth

Blind trust only leads to danger

A trust can hurt you
If you fail to judge it's nature
In reality
Just a thought
Even when things hurt me beyond measures here.
Then you are there holding me through my sorrows.
Even when I am so lonely, Feeling the emptiness inside.
Feeling so useless, feeling so worthless  here too.
Through these times, you are holding me speaking love...
Into my soul, holding me up speaking life into my life.
For its through the trials that you are strengthening us.
For its your People that you work within us building us.
For you are Raising , strengthening your People.
Through our times of Pain, Struggles and Sorrows.

You stand on

Busy street corner

And imagine,

That you are not here

That you do not exist.

People are walking,

Cars beeping,

Shops are getting open.

World continues to live without you.

It is painful to understand that.

But necessary...

There is not one person
that isn't afraid
of the dark.
The fear
of the
deep
dark
abyss,


A fear of the unknown.

dance fire in the wind
turn consume the ash flicker
disappear reignite above where you were
ignite the breeze spark
fall then flutter more
blue orange red green
your tails appear
then vanish
as warmth
as energy
as life
