In the quest for the existential
need of nuturing oneself

we dangle in the jungle
by burning candles

it is a super humane thing
drawing ink from another

Secret leaks from
a writer's pen

for we were blind

even keeping
the true devil in mind

sacred to ourselves
as we trip by default
over our own thin lines.
It is good to acknowledge
in reference
A poet who inspired.
Let it go
Maybe then
everyone else will too
The pain
The injustice
The wrong
The right
The high ground
The low ground
Let it go
Look.somewhere else
To find your grow
Look somewhere else
find your glow
Karma had me on the edge of the cliff,
Self destruction slowly floated on a cloud laughing right in my face,
My pride kept telling me to jump,
As I began to argue with my ego,
Mixed emotions I grabbed my head
Then began to yell
I felt a gust of wind
Life was forcing me to make a decision
The noise became silent as I fell
Darkness surrounded me
Seemed like the only friend I had
Took a deep breath
Opened my eyes to see you
Waiting at the bottom for me
#breath #eyes #life

Words are forged from the fire of the soul,

Brought to life by streams of emotions

bursting from the heart

In harmony they dance, telling the

different pieces of art painted by the

writer.
When you write, different words
Seem ,in one accord, to come together
As though attempting to
fulfill a puzzle of mystery
And when you're done
These words tell tales from
Hidden places with in us,
Saying not a word.
They say
I see why you write
I say no
You see what you understand
So you see
What you don’t understand
Is why I write
I just want you to see that.
