clarity*           ~ in sensing the fall~                             
       
when known, makes        each spiral stop:
                    
You... are still here,           you will         
                                                 ­                            
get up**.

Depression
Living my life,
With my eyes wide open.
I want to see,
Everyone's side spoken.
I don't care who you are,
As long as you're you.
I will except anyone,
As long as they're true.
I don't care if you're gay,
Or black, Asian, or white.
Whoever you are, I will love you,
With every flaw, and all my might.
Why should I judge,
No one gave me that power.
For I too am a sinner,
Above no one do I tower.
My love reaches to everyone,
No one is left out.
My heart is wide open,
Just come to me and shout.
My Love is Not Selective™   by Nadia DeLevea
Afflicted by the pain,
Of this acid rain.
Yet inside of this room,
I'm hidden all to soon.
Exploding from the inside,
From pressure on the out.
A hurricane inside my soul,
And in my heart a burning coal.
The pandemonium of this world,
I'm living in an evil hell.
Blocking out the words of others,
I'm hiding in my own small world.
It does not matter,
Nothing is real.
For pain is all I ever feel.
If you've ever realized,
Love always leads to pain.
To knock that thought,
Into your brain.
Then you'd realize that through love,
We have nothing to gain.
Contemplating™   by Nadia DeLevea
I crave freedom
more than a sun
that craves to touch
the horizon

more than a moon
craving to be flaunted
at the midnight sky

more than a sinner
that craves to see
the seven heavens

and more than a saint
craving to be veiled
from hell's wrath

of   this,
full to burst

~ until known (and shared)~
is felt;

                  Within
                          yet 
                     ­            without.

Angel torches
filter sunlight 
across a vast   
horizon
         of sea foam                    
   petticoats.
Where                         
 topaz  touches         
                    glittering                  
              cyan         
                             &                    
                             spirals                 
                            downwards             
                          through the              
             deepest dark      
                  blues - no body            
             can exist within            
      jewelled sapidity.    

Not an 'I' in sight :)

Pieces of you, I've collected;
Soothingly held - *like pebbles kept in pockets
.
Never once feeling the weight,
only their sparkle
**.
Talking to a friend, reminded me...

Of my curiosity when meeting a  '***** by choice' nomad
(his words, not mine!) - who carried a brick with him.

I asked him, Why?

*"On cold days" he said,"I put the brick in the base of the fire,
so as the night draws in and the fire dies -
I wrap it in a towel to keep my feet warm overnight."*

Smelling Autumn bonfires as our darker nights draw in,
I think of him; With his *choice* of burden.
