The secret
 Mar 2015 sajjad ali
Dawn
I know the secret the grass whispered to the stems who told the leaves who told the flowers, that told the bees.
The bees then whispered it to the trees who told the wind who told the sky that told the sun and later that night the moon.
The moon then whispered to the stars that twinkled in unison, as I looked at the night sky,  I whispered, "What is the secret of life, dear Universe."
And then I heard, with my heart, "I am you." <3
Which I whispered to the rich earth.

The water calls to her
like a sailor to the sea
The water calls to her like a seal who swims free

The waves crash upon her
and she releases all her worries and fears
to the deep blue sea

As she pushes on the ocean floor
She rises above and looks at the starlit sky
Smiling and breathing in the salty air
Bowing her head to the full moon

Laughing, knowing she is not alone
Splashing and playing like a child
Hearing soft whispers
Telling her she is a Goddess of the Sea

She sinks deeper, letting the water cleanse her
For her soul was made of sea foam
Here her heart will always lie
Knowing she was born a mermaid long ago

Naked

Here I am in front of you, exposing all my truths
And I don't know why
You're not that special or important
But when I see you I feel so naked
And I just can't figure out why
Why is it you?
Like you can see me, really see me
See me more then I have ever been seen before
And that makes me uncomfortable
So I ramble on and on, about this and that
Trying to fabricate a wall of lies between us
But I still feel naked, so naked
Like you can see right through the *******- to my core
And I just can't figure out why
Why is it you?
So, here I am naked, right in front of you
Feeling so revealed and unprotected
Raw and exposed
But I still want to be around you
Maybe even need
Because I've never felt so naked before...
I'll give credit where credit is due this came about because I had the tune Torn by Natalie Imbruglia inside my head, but the feelings are from my heart. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

The simple truth is, there are no truths
There are just opinions in our minds
The simple truth is, what we think matters
Our thoughts form our "truths", that become our lives
Have you ever wished what you thought would come true
Well, here's the simple truth, your wishes have all come true
Take a gander at your life and try to remember what you've thought
The simple truth will be revealed that you thought your entire life

That other half, so dark and deep
The shadow that often creeps
Filled with laughter and promiscuity
It slithers and it scorns
Often holding judgments and lies
It is the shady part of the tree
The sky without a moon or a foggy night
That other half
Dare not speak it's name
For it'll venture out
Perhaps it will put hot red lipstick on
And dance among those who have lost their hearts
Practically naked with lusting eyes
Tempting all the darker sides
That oth half, that desperately scares
Painted red and staring
Often tempting me throughout the night
Have another drink it whispers so sweetly
Sip, drink, chug
And I'm lost among the clouds
It feels so good to be consumed

Indigo colors
Fluttering about but never joined with other
Crystals sparkle bright
But what does it mean
Bring forth the light
That is our density
How can it be
That we are the ones to make it seen
Love that is hidden so perfectly
With only our Indigo colors

Words do not escape like warm honey
They gather up like black molasses
Entrapped for all of time

Dare not speak them
Too prideful
To name would be to admit
To confess
Love fallen and no regret
To love without promise of  love
To fall in the infinite
Knowing not if one will be caught
Or bathed in pure bliss

Unspoken words are bottle up deep inside
Causing pain, anguish and sadness
An unfathomable hole of darkness
Awaiting recognition of it's true nature  

So lost in the illusion of what once was or could have happened
Too busy avoiding and hiding to pause and let the darkness unveil
To let it name itself for what it is
Only moving day through day with the undeniable need to unleash the madness

With the vial pulled over
The search for unknowable answers persist
Falling victim to loving others who do not love themselves
Lost in delusions
Constantly trying to escape truth
That will only be revealed when paused and left to be undefined
