Memories of You
Marisa Jan 2010
Anger taints
The memories I have of you
And I don’t want that anymore

It’s not your fault I’m left so bitter
All you did was love me
And wait endlessly for me

I’m bitter because life tore us apart
And I was not ready to let you go

If you ever see my words
And wonder what you did wrong,
The answer is nothing

I pray that I find the meaning to life’s ways
And learn the lessons I have to learn
To move on

Crooked sight
Marisa Dec 2009
Under the left side
Over the right side view,
Walk faster and faster
Down the avenue

But I can’t hide
From the demons inside
That haunt my mind

Crooked sight, the world seems obscure
So how the hell can I find the cure?
Marisa Jan 2010
I look across
And see the beauty,
Currents of the Universal Ocean

My current of life moves
And flows in harmony
With the Universal Ocean
The creator dwells in me
There is no right, no wrong move
I go, free
The dark moments are but illusions
Part of the journey
One moment of many
Pushing me forward
Setting motion to my winding current
That slows just as it quickens

Many currents meet
Very few merge
To become one eternal body

When our currents merged
A feverously violent whirlwind formed
Quick, forceful, exhilarating, until
You realize you’re stuck
In the same spot
Circling
Around and around
And what seems like movement
Is not

With all our might we part
This is why you’re on that side of the ocean
And I’m here.
I don’t know our fate
I don’t know where the current is going
I just know where I’ve been
And if destruction is formed
When our currents are together
Apart we are peace.
Marisa Jan 2010
Your memory still lingers in my mind
It’s been a handful of years
And they say time heals all wounds,
But the one you created is still here.
Fear is my excuse not to move forward.
But a wise person once told me to face my fears.
I’ve nurtured them for so long,
They’ve become my inner demons
That keep me chained to a figure of you.

a prayer
Marisa Jan 2010
all this time
i though i wandered
into the abyss
i though i lost you
but your bigger than i am
and your plan is bigger than i can conceive
i didnt have to find you again
because you were with me
always
and the moments i think im lost
is only bringing me closer to you
thank you
for your wonderful blessed ways
thank you for letting me know
you are always with me
make me into your vessel
so i may always do your will
and your will
is what i live to do


(my intention is not to be religious, but spiritual, which is very different)

the path
Marisa Jan 2010
i had a dream
to share with all
the narrow path
of which we've heard

they say
show me the way

open your heart
and open your mind
listen to the wind
and watch the birds fly

from your inner self
the outer world reflects
a coincidence
is never just a coincidence

and there lays the path
I say

i cannot hold your hand
and walk with you
your path is yours to discover
but know, the universe is your friend

im not saying it'll be easy
because i know it will not
but everything you need
has been with you from the start

No Middle Earth
Marisa Dec 2009
There’s a world
I once knew
Where all you had to do
Was believe,
Be pure, be true
To yourself and others
And the world
Will return the favour.
It will reveal
All its beauty,
Innocence,
And majestic light.
This world has a name
And it’s called Naive.

I opened my eyes
To find a world that is
Polluted with garbage,
Foul smelling
Toxic.
Give the world love and kindness
And it will give you hate and spite.
Be pure, be true
And the world will be corrupt,
It will use you
Until you have nothing left to give
And you become
Just as tainted as them.

lost in dreams
Marisa Jan 2010
memories of a dream land
forever in my heat
a dream of simplicity

i can walk the paved paths of the city
but they lead me nowhere
lost in the dream of somebody else

Pieces of Ourselves
Marisa Mar 2010
As a part of my heart
I will take a piece of you
With me all my life
I want you to see that
All over the world
Are pieces of ourselves
And as we go along
We pick up the pieces
To become whole
You have given me
A piece of myself
And I hope you find
The piece i left for you
Even though
We are not together anymore
We will always be connected
We became a bit more whole
By knowing each other

You're In My Heart
Marisa Jan 2010
Gentle as you are
With my heart in you hands
True to your word
With my trust in you plans

I know that things
Can get a little hard
But if we stay together
We can reach the stars

You miss me
And I miss you too
So whats keeping us apart
I need to be with you

I'll give you your space
If that's what you need
I'll wait till you come back
my soul you feed

Till I know
what you really want
I want you to know
That you're in my heart

— The End —
