The basin drains her polluted blood as wine envelopes morose
Every minute is a memory, onset of her blanketed comatose
Vying in a fog of icons and myths, words always fail them
From every misread evil that is disposed of improperly
From every neighbor or friend eternally mute again
From every gilded pattern that leaves a cuff for the eyes
From every fetching barroom, where all such nadir lies

Time flies like a baby fruit fly to a banana
buzzing through a brand new day through the fractal lakes
cleansing my body in peppermint amethyst vibrations
as the gyrations of the water ripple and drip down my back and waist
tickling the skin into submission--
I'm on a love mission feeling the splish-splash nefelibata mind
within my glowing gold-hazel eyes as I realize my potential.
The world isn't simply my oyster
my voice can make a difference
if I wish and believe me I've kissed Aladdin's lamp
but my mind is filled with vagary so I plant the seeds
in my magic garden and watch them grow--
burst through the ground and glowing
some like emerald embers
and others like electric chalcopyrite
as my third-eye shines and pops calico corn
crackling in the back the ideas simmer on the grill
near the chilled ZuZu Juju honeydew wine
while the electric blue hip panther cat croons
away on her guitar in ancient star languages saeng
when we were all just haranguing through the ONE-light
all bright sun's right to shine a vine of fire rays
into our future past selves
now aligned with burning designs of moons, suns and AUMS.
The animal pixie band manipulates the sounds around us--
the cicadas sing a lotus chorus while the tiger-painted rabbits rapidly
strum rainbow hieroglyphs on their magic harps
while the jazz sax racoons all dressed in jasper suede jackets
and backwards newsboy caps
play a theta vibration so meditatively
we dance in digambara dream catcher trance
of enhanced meraki enchanted atoms
and cells boiling in passionate blood.

After all the eating and dancing we play in the clay mud
recreating our animal forms and budding faces blooming
and swooning as our winged auras sling us
into the dusk sky
to sway and zoom in the rain.
later we enter Father Sky's cloud castle
for a peaceful night curled up by the azurite lightning fireplace
roasting marmalade maple marshmallows
with those rasta angel fellows token
on the diviner's sage sippin mugwort tea.
And as we third eye-gaze into and through each other
seeing our past and future time tubes
aligning into a sacred golden flower sphere,
we giggle like silly fox children
we've forgotten hours have left our pockets
cause to us it only seems like seconds have gone by...

The truth from me to you is a four letter word
Living with the O.
Never the i.
Truth from you to me is a four letter word
Living without an O.
Strong I, mis-taken U.
Taken  u.
Taken u.
Never i.

Meraki, I mutter as we gaze
The constellations upon the heavens
Of life, has it been a waste?
To the Gods, of the sailing seven

The soul, creativity
Love placed into something
The essence of yourself
Placed into your eyes

Right now though
Hiraeth takes over
The undeniably sick feeling
Of lonesomeness and one

Deep, wistful longing
Nostalgic sense of longing
A place of hope no longer
Perhaps never was

It all began
when I freely immersed myself
within your captivating soul
upon meeting you

I informed you, however,
in order for you to do the same
you had to dislodge the weeds
and blockades

There was work to be done
and areas to be tended to
Some days were cloudier,
while some were sunnier

I must say
I was quite surprised
by the quickness it took
for you to reach my heart

This task seemed innate to you-
to us-
My heart was yours
instantaneously

You never once
made this task
feel like a task
And I thank you for that

In the darkness I lay,
crossing the threshold bathed in dreams,
I enter the moonless midnight of my mind
Drifting in a sea of melancholy,
its Elysian depths filled with
sublime words beyond black and white.
The meraki tides wash me unto a twilight shore
where a forest of eternal autumn stands.
Deep, dark, and lovely.
Inside, a strange world I must venture,
finding places once forgotten
and seeking secrets hidden within shadows.
The cracks and spiderweb shatters
within my being, fan out like a map.
A guide for the wanderlust;
the essence trapped within my veins.
Upon a soft breeze
carries the whispers of my soul.
Rustling my heartstrings
like wind through chimes and into my bones.
Keeping at bay the demons that lurk
and the ghosts that haunt.
Wandering through these dark woods,
set ablaze, I roam through that ethereal chaos.
Upon that place I stand.
My Midnight Soul.

the times that i hate myself the most
are the times i wish i could be my best

i wish that for you
i could be a better me

the moment it shatters
is when i see how beautiful it was

it wasn’t supposed to happen like this
everything is going so wrong

i am hard to love
and i am broken inside

but all of my pieces are loving you
loving you with all that they are

The eunoian feeling was disrupted by the sardonic entity. Crushing and terrorizing the meraki from my soul. Taking away my will. My will to live.  My will to survive.  My will to do as I please. Because that's what toxic people do. They **** you soul out of your body through their words. Their oh so characterizing language. The dictions of *****. I'm a daydreamer and a night thinker. My soul was bound to be beautiful and spill these numinous words upon the wilted paper in the black and white text.  So you can **** my will but I will always exist in the language of my ancestors, just as they exist within me. Jokes on you depression no one decides my fate but me. So let's keep this rhythm, you'll be the king and I'll be the queen in my little psychosis induced fantasy, pretending that all is well even when society shoves "normal" down my throat. I'll be my own light.

Putting pencil to paper is how I feel.
When I write, it gives me a certain thrill.

It allows me to express all that I know,
and when it comes out it has a steady flow.

My writing is a way into my soul.
So don't pass me by thinking I'm dull.

I'll wake the world with my works.
It will evoke emotions; for better or worse

i try,i pour,
even though all the words dryer than my tongue,
even when my soul is at the edge of crying,
i try,i pour,
every single of words at the end of my lips,
every single tears from my eyes,
every single soul i wish to cry,
every single message i wish to try,
but,
i am the one,
who loves to try,
even when the message is beyond reach.

Times not letting us go
we're just chained to this throne..
why?, When we're so suicide&accidental prone,
is it all for the apple(knowledge) of Eden we were shown?
sad day got a bright uplifting cause it snowed
and renaissance in the words we wrote,
everything happened in an instant after s/he spoke,
so we created time to fix this
with Gabriel the dude with wings God sent,
eye. also know this is quite a bit to process,
so you're an amateur on this land, yes?

all we know is this~>the words to the lyrics,
time capsule needs a quick fix,
to sort out the glitches..
there's no turning back now,
linear to full spheres in cycles, how?
it's only temporary this dungeon..
(time)..

*Psychological wreck,
back against the wall,
water to the neck,
drowning in the winter,
ice cold truth for the sinner,
mind/over matter, reality is false,
rose golden rain again,
conscious as christ blood in væin again,
evolve solo.

ego death, then take a deep "breath" to die and reinstall your ******'
soulmate(it's too late to get off this train),
mom&eye. are quantum physics(like the rain),
she may never understand your name..
(rose golden, btw.)

I Leave
Star BG Jan 2018
I leave a piece of self with smile
and gentle dance inside day

I leave a piece as I move gracefully with soul,
carving a creative moment in life.

I leave a piece of self from music of heart,
allowing love to gift inside my aura.

I leave a piece of me in a moment
as I sing with Meraki voice and gentle heart.
Definition of Meraki:
To do something with soul.
creativity or love,
leaving a piece of oneself into
what they are doing.
