life always comes full circle
sometimes it will be good, other times hard
when it gets too much, just stop
close your eyes and go inside
ask yourself
what really matters
who am I
is this real?

why am I experiencing this emotion
your thoughts are created from your mind
are you the mind?

if you are not the mind
then you have the ability to handle this mind
and those thoughts
most of the time we get intertwined and lost
in the thoughts that create more thoughts
then we get lost in the games of our mind

but when we realise that
we are not this mind
we are a spirit
you are not your thoughts
you are not your mind

Shiva is the real you, stillness
Omnipresent spirit within you  
Is watching everything

the mind never stops, it
needs action
always
to do something
to feel anything?

your real purpose, true potential
it is a tool given to you
but now the tool has overtaken you
Oh how it turns into anxiety
As it has spiraled out of control
Like a wild horse broken free

It is all simple logic
we are just caught and overwhelmed
Shackled by our environment, held
you think you need to fight for it
so everything becomes a battle
but the moment you feel like you own it, you already have it
see how everything flows
you are in a prepared state
to receive

have faith and trust
that everything will come to you
nature has given us this body
to live a joyful life
we always have a choice
either to carry it and cry pain
or drop it and say
I don't want this

no matter what it is
just stop
this is not you.
meditate
clear your head
you choose your battles

be more forgiving to
yourself especially
don't be so ******* yourself
you, me, we are the creators

we hold the magic to create beauty art,
paintings, poetry, romance, all in vain
thinking we can control, inflict pain
running into shells like a shy turtle
this is the thought, the mind from which we suffer

life always comes full circle

Peace, a simple yet meaningful symbol
To some it is calm through a storm
For others it is a ray of hope
To a few, a hippie stereotype
To us, it meant forever, or
At least it did

Those three lines enclosed by a circle
Such an odd little symbol, isn’t it
I often wondered how it came to be
And mean so much, to so many
I guess it’s just funny

Its been so long, I almost forgot the story
About how we promised forever no matter
What came between us, pain, loves, glory
Solace, we’d have each other when it got cloudy
You committed to it, so it seems
But only with your words and body
I might not of done the same but my
Heart was in it all the same

I wonder if it ever hurts when you look at that
Symbol, even the one burned into your body
Or is it just me, who sees it in everything
Even though I did not do as we promised
Maybe if I did, it would mean a little less to me

Funny thing, memory
It seems to serve you well
Maybe if I burn some light
Into me, it will try as well
Maybe I’ll forget all that I want to
Just like you already do

Maybe you’ve made up another story
To cover up that little symbol of joy
One that you’ve somehow believed
I’ll take comfort in knowing that we
Once knew, that peace was ours to be

I’ll take comfort in knowing there’s
A little piece of the old you in there
the little peace symbol you swear
An undying place where you care

Even if it only exists in a few inches
Of skin that’s been burned in
I’ll take refuge in there
I think my friend’s still in there.

And there it is, ah yes, red
The illusion’s been shattered
Broken pieces of glass all over
Painted generously with my blood

You cut yourself open
Then pass the knife around
Waiting for that piercing sound
I’m only human after all, aren’t I?
Maybe it’s a futile belief that I’m  
Not already six feet underground

Do you really believe this lie
Where you’re waiting to be found?
No one’s gonna come looking
My dear sweet little one
It’s time you forget that song

I’m here for you, I always have been
I’m tired now, yes I know
But I won’t give up on you
Even if the world ignores you
Even if it’s just us here again
We’ll sit and watch the rain
And one day, just one day
Maybe we’ll smile from
The heart again.

Until then, my dear little one
We’ll sing a song, play along
Hoping that it’s enough to carry on
And if its not, we’ll know we tried

Even if we are, aimlessly, futilely

Already six feet underground.

Maybe, someone will hear a sound.
Maybe, we’ll be found.

Till then, I take shelter in the ground.

Crying, but these are empty tears
Trying, but only wasted efforts
Believing, but we are hiding fears
Living, but not of the dreaming sorts

Dying, maybe this one hits the spot.
Or maybe, just maybe, trying
Flying, so we finally soar
Who are we kidding,
Lying, there you are.

I'm trying to find the right metaphor for the storm
but I ended up mumbling your name.
I can hear your bones break like thunder.
I can hear your cries against my windowpane,
thousands of miles from where you are.

You never thought I would stop running but I did.
I still remember the day when you beg my heart to settle down.
I still remember our little dance in the terrace,
two young people in the night,
experiencing forever in twelve hours.

You were the reason why I feel sad over the sound
of singing crickets and heartbeats.
You were the reason why I stop leaving things unfinished.

A friend called and told me how you're doing.
I wonder if your scars still hurt when it rains.
I want to cover your shoulder with words and moonlight until it softens.
Until you stop putting your hand on your chest at 2AM to keep it from howling.

I don't remember what type of storm you are anymore,
But I still remember you when it rains.

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.

I’m trying to hold on
I really am
So much effort into it
But where is it all going
I’m tired, so tired

It’s funny how easily
I can fake a smile that
Everyone believes
Funny, a word I
Like to use instead
Of sad

Once again, well aware
That all of this makes no sense
So much to be thankful for
Others, hell I, envied being here
So tell me why is this unending
Darkness consuming me

I’m fighting it, I truly am
But I am tired, so tired
Of feeling this empty
Can I just let the night
Wash over me, till I
Cease to be

A cowardices crutch they say
The urge to flee, run away
Another venue, the same sorrow
This rabbit is tired of her burrow

Dear lord Please
Let me know
When its finally
Time to go.

Maybe then I’ll get to see
You again in heaven
Or maybe I won’t
Who knows

I want to believe that
You’re right here with me
That you’ve always been
You just feel a little distant lately

Maybe I’m just holding on to you
Because maybe you’re the only one
Who could ever love a broken soul like me
Is it so wrong that I want to give up
Just so that I can be with you again?

I need you
I miss you so much
I feel so alone in this world
I’m losing my mind
I need you
I’m not as strong as you said I was
I need you

To everyone else I am just a stranger.
To you, I am your daughter.
