There are some things I just know
When I meet people there is a feeling I get
A storm stirs inside me
My mind flashes sending me within
I see birth
I see death
All in one breath
Arms wrap around me
Flooding me with empathy
Why me? I ask
I know, I know sounds crazy
An ******* soul shimmering
Being torn, tickled and reborn
My spirit fills with love I become one with the universe
Dancing with stars existing in all dimensions
Evolving questions to answers
Spiritual being immersed in the river of life's flow!
Enlightened emerging dripping with knowledge
As long as blood fills my heart
Imagination elevates my being
Overflowing my earthly shell spilling these words
Mind's eye theater better than any TV show
If life is a question
Living provides the answers
Coming from within not from an ancient scroll
Reaping from failures seeds we sow
To live is to love even if we fail
Our destiny to live our own life's tale..

Phoenix Heart

My heart is like a Phoenix It dies everyday
Reborn to give love in its own special way
Ignition from within my vessel catches aflame
Incinerating all my worries and emotional stains
Memories smoke swirling in the summer breeze
A corpse crumbling down on hands and knees
Ashes and bone litter the ground
In a moment of silence no soul can be found
Emerging from the ashes a flaming soul
A fire illuminating eternities black hole
Through loss and despair what is gained?
People don't grow without feeling life's pain
Love is a gamble from the very start
A risk I'm willing to take with my Phoenix Heart...

Lifted

Dreary days of black and white
Monotony for many is way of life
Moving but stuck caught in a slow pace
Frustration sets in affecting our outer space
Finding in life what fills our holes
Stirring our emotions expressing our souls
In return what do most of us get?
A heart full of pain a mind full of regret
Moments are special we must soak them in
Good or bad every day we can begin again
Finding ones path through loneliness and despair
Emotions felt deep as if anyone cared
Through the darkness finding what little light
Life is a struggle in which we fight
To persevere and become one great human being
A battle of Evil and Good in the mind not seen
We are all fragments trying to reconnect
A big puzzle creating our future, our destiny set
Fitting together our connections grow tight
Bonds so solid telling us it is right
Growing is life and life is full of pain
Living each day calculating the gain
Through all my living and actions I have sifted
Creating who I am.... A spirit who is Lifted.....

Love So True

How can love be so true?
Its in my every atom and everything I do
Love to me never had a real meaning
My hearts on fire, my body is steaming
Emotion given birth from deep within
I feel as if I'm committing my greatest sin
Life is fast we have to find our moments in time
We must explore the treasures that we find
Eloquence, beauty a soul so unique
An illusion of thought mental hide and seek
We burst in flames from our passion and desire
Fantasies fulfilled satisfying inner fire
For in this big world there is only one me and you
Whatever it takes for a love so true...

8-2-13 M.A.N I wrote 2 versions of this poem the other is more of me asking questions this one is more realizing I struggle on doing a edit until I post then I find multiple flaws which I try to correct on the spot I've already done about 5 edits since post I think that should be it for now..

Rebirth

I'm wandering aimlessly in a poetic scene
No longer do I sleep no longer do I dream
Walking in a world filled with holes
I slip and fall, oh there I go
Falling fast with no end in sight
Darkness overtakes me, not talking about night
Demons released from deep within
Each one an acknowledgment of all my sins
Monster's put together with thread and twine
Like a ball of yarn they begin to unwind
Falling through clouds made of my emotions and desire
I explode upward as I recoup my fire
Mind refreshed with the knowledge I have gained
Evolving isnt easy it is filled with pain
In the darkness appears a guiding light
My eyes which were blind regain sight
Emerging anew from that rabbit hole
A brand new being with a stronger soul
A Butterfly reborn not a minute to soon
With a capacity to grow there is still room
Understanding the differences between right and wrong
The weak always need the strength of the strong
A beacon hope, can you feel the good?
Passion so strong never truly understood
We all question why we walk this earth
Answers for me come through my rebirth....

The Fool

Once again I play the fool
But that is OK it is what I do
Build a fantasy world in my mind
My heart exposed the whole time
Silly me filling up with pain
At least I get stronger from what I gain
Playing Mr. Know It All
Rising up fast just to fall
I find myself to be my greatest foe
It is so unfair yes I know
My inner battle between evil and good
I know who I am and what I should
Be grateful for the treasures that I find
Store the good memories in my mind
I am a living machine fueled by hope
Choking on all my mental smoke
Maybe in some other place or time
Our souls in passing will become entwine
Doesn't matter nor do I care
For if you need me I will be there..

Old Soul

What is a soul?
Is it ever seen?
Is there a soul making machine?
Where do they go when released?
Does it rest in everlasting peace?
All these questions we do ask
As we set upon a wanderers path
Seeking answers where do they lie
No one knows but we still try
To understand what's not understood
To take the bad and make it good
To have no regrets only what we've learned
Every war scar we wear we have earned
New days come and continue to pass
Never slowing down moving too fast
Putting it all together emotions living as one
This of course is not easily done
Answered questions that were never asked
Brings peace but peace does not last
Overcoming life's every struggle
In the process we learn to juggle
We are the questions and life is the answer
Our souls become our private dancer
When you leave where will you go?
That is something we will never know
Its OK you'll find your place
In another body with a brand new face
Together we helped each other grow
Becoming one with this old soul.

7-18-13 M.A.N I flubbed the ending I'm awful with ending and titling poems my mind will just ramble if I don't wrap it up I have retitled poems in the past and it made a big difference for some strange reason. I adjusted ending I hope it flows better....
