blue peonies
the dragonfly swifts in
pink lilies
landing behind the windowsill
green orchids
piercing screams the creature exhales
one last glance around the empty room
the dragonfly flies out
a pin drops

full leather brown circles, his
irises lightly lined black
a gaze so sharp, bliss
none from years of strife
a calm of pain held back, with
a smile that dripped honey

all so effortlessly.

oh how i miss those eyes.

is it just me
or is there a splash of magic in
sipping hot coffee
feeling the chill under my skin

distant voices see
the slightest burn to my tongue
cross legged I be
alone to hear melodious words sung

There is a time between us, when the pebbles of the sea
and the darkness of the moon will seem one.
Where the lilies and the starlight falls,
and my hands and bones will sleep.

See in our sleep, the world can be one, and
the flowing waters will be like Chardonnay.
Our memories will sing so wild and free.

Under the moonlight, before your lips,
I give you my breath and the secret beneath
my soul, where my soul falls underneath.

Awestruck and charmed by the precious jewels,
in your eyes. You are my beloved,
Leaving my breath to you, my very life,
I lift you up like a rose stretching for the sea.

•
For so long feeling every little thing
Day by day thoughts fading until
Now experience all as numb
No, feeling nothing at all.
•

The astronaut wonders why
His heart still beats in time,
When there's no one left to love.

He grips his chest and cries,
Tears dripping from his sorry eyes,
Mourning the ones he lost.

He glances off into the galaxy,
Hoping anyone could see
Him trapped;

Stuck in space.

Gotta keep telling myself
Over and over again
I can do this
I don't need anyone
I can be strong

God's making me realize
I've been sacrificing so much
For all the wrong people
Giving away parts of me I'm left with nothing
Thinking like an investment they'll be there
But always proven wrong

You may all leave,
I may cry for now but you
Can never break me down
I can do this
I can do this
I can be strong.

you are all but poison flowing through my veins
cripplingly sweet, oh honey is brought to shame
a needle gleefully I stab myself with daily
a agonizing slow demise a choice I take greatly  
over a bleak existence without you.

I would be blessed to live a life
Gratefully face many years of strife
Just to be able to hold your tender face
Kiss your supple, sweet lips
Stroke your fine brown hair
spend every day in existence to
tell you in every way I can
what a beautiful universe it is
to be able to love you

I danced to the tune of your heartbeat
I love to the memory of your touch
I'll bleed just to see your smile for one more fleeting moment
I'll give up my soul just to hear your Angelic voice calling my name

In the bitter end
The truth decaying my numbing mind
Words like daggers through a fragile heart
These words floating in a river of hatred
The honesty of your love undefined

You moving forward in life
leaving me broken and blind
Truthfully, love and hate both have four letters
This time your love was unkind.

When love only flows one way
no matter how hard you try
When every part of you is craving their touch
when they say that they love you
Yet it's the kind of love that's never enough

It's a love that hurts,
It's a love that lost all the smoothness of being gentle
a love that wholeheartedly rough.

what a beautiful thing it is
to find someone who you
want to spend a lifetime in laughter
and someone who desires
to laugh with you forever
nothing more
nothing less
will I ever be so lucky
I truly wonder.

I whispered to the dead of the night
Can you see me
Silence filled the sound of spite
I whispered once more without fright
Can you hear me
A chuckle echoed veiled in slight

love that flows without expectations
love that gives without taking
love that doesn’t see if it receives
love that listens, caresses and holds

how thankful I am to experience
a flow of unending care
never disappointing
forever present

gratitude to the universe
for letting the negative
Slip off my shoulders
letting the heaviness go

allowing me to experience
a true state of peace, of joy
only by making space
and foregoing attachment

so much I learn from you
dear universe, thank you
soft hands caressing my soul
feeling what love can really be

for that to happen I had to
Jump in the dark, feel pain
Let go of what disappointed
Always, caused pain, let me down

Empty promises had to be let go
Attachment to the beliefs that
That’s all I somehow deserved
To feel the beautiful love I do now

Gosh, if I had only known
How letting go could free me
The joy it pours into my being
How beautifully our lives now
Simply intertwine

I don’t need to ask
As you love me perfectly
I only pray
I do the same.

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
