The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.

You are my morning coffee
and my fade into dreams.
Wrote a couple days ago. Just remembered it, conveniently enough, as I was about to go to bed.

You're holding me back,
You're holding me back!
To see the world, I desire
Yet, you control and conspire

Foreshadowing a future full of regret
If I comply with your reasoning;
Instilling doubt and anxiety
Comparing me to society

I'm breaking your grasp,
I'm breaking your grasp!
To hell with you, Fear
I'm moving forward
Abandoning you to my past

Two Strong Wolves
Green and Red.
They Loved me.
I loved them too.  

Then She came.
Liked me but not the wolves.
Especially the Red One.
She was Sad.  

As times passed by
The Wolves were being ignored.
Rarely  she would like them.
Just to make me Stay.  

None of us were happy.
Someone had to leave.
Conveyed  the same to the wolves.
They Refused...

Finally Killed them Both.  

Now at least Shes Happy.

Have you ever seen a sunflower reaching out to the sun, following him wherever he goes?

Or an evening water lily shying away and blushing under her lovely pink at all times when the sun is in the sky?

Have you ever seen a dandelion break herself into countless little pieces and fly away to places unbeknownst, just to make herself full again?

Have you ever seen a rose, apprehensive of what might destroy him, guarding himself with numerous thorns, yet so beautiful that you can’t help but ignore his thorns?

Have you ever seen daisies growing through the cracks in the sidewalk, reminding you to look for beauty even when you can’t?

Have you ever seen flowers? Then you have seen love; for flowers are nothing, but love.
"Flowers are love's truest language"
– Søren Kierkegaard

No.
It is not good to use your
powers for evil.

It is much better to warn them
of their demise.
Reminding them
that flesh is an easy target.

we all wear.

but the Spirit is still.

and sometimes
exists without consequence
being that

You.
Always know your intentions.

But remember.
the Universe has the ultimate
Say

No.
Do not speak with a second tongue.

You could end up believing your crafty
little hell. then forget about alchemy.

Instead be brave and
Go
alone.

Say no to anything that does not resonate with
your being.

Then walk away very slowly with
absolute
clarity.
Be you.
