Heart-Healing.

When neglect love's trust has riven
heartache wins.

Sad hearts on hope's thread swing
and bleed sorely.

Hurtfully damaged love's core needs
a heart restorer.

Harmony soon re-installed means
heart-healing begins.

Like efflorescence, night pens it's mood.
More blue than a cornflower summer sky.
Thoughts of the daytime too are luminous.
Your presence, though far, creates them so.

Soft textured velvet is my mood today.
It sings me memory-tunes of your word.
Silence is potent when poetry speaks.
I hear and catch music deep in my soul.

It's myopic to claim
we are not all the same.
Distinction will always hold sway
if vanity's call
that our Self controls all
means ambition is chased every day.

This illusion of ' I '
distorts how we try
to see we are separate from all.
With a "we", there's a "them"
that's the Ego again
raising reasons for ultimate fall.

The "I" will remain empty inside,
inflated with pride,
forgiving not another or Self.
Inner growth raises need
to foster the real
perception of far greater wealth.

When Ego holds court
we are easily bought
and relinquish choices for good.
Learning how to let go
will inevitably show
in a freedom at last understood.
Guess karma's getting back at me for being so unkind,
All the times I've broke a heart,
And all the times ive lied.
I had too much fun for too long and now I'm doing time.
All the glass is out of my head, only one broken bone,
But I still feel broken inside.

I keep looking at the sky and thank god I'm alive,
I feel like throb of my heart and try to push it aside,
I remember waking up and not sure of the time,
Or what happened to me on the passenger side.

It's like I'm cursed so much lately,
Like death is in my mind,
Saying why'd you cheat me like that?
You won't defeat me next time.

Even though my heart feels full,
I still feel so empty inside,
The guilt slithers like a serpent in my gut
For almost severing the family ties.

I know it's my fault,
I know I should be fine,
But I guess this is what prison feels like,
Now I'm doing time.
I think this one explains itself.
