roasting asphalt oven
sweat and petroleum pungent
a festival in the truest sense
diversity beyond societal bland
tolerance arches over rainbow
colored heads banging to the beat
the great goddess smiles as we dance
she knows true love when she sees it

sing to the dying sun
draping white shoulders afire
above lahar fields green again
successions of ash and germination
evidence of universal rotation
barren to blessed
sway to the eternal rhythm
bass heartbeat in our chests
Warped Tour 2016 with my daughter!

Mt. Rainier is very near the venue.  On this hot and sunny day, she was out in all her glory, watching over the festivities.

Summer has swallowed me!  My apologies for not responding to comments and reading your work consistently.  Love and Peace to you all!

22!
1994- ..

2nd day, August of 1994
Around pm, at four
A girl was born

The sun smiled
Her parents cried
Then, laughters can't be hide

Innocent
Content

And for a little girl
The world is big
And it’s easy to be lost in it

But soon she will grow
Soon she will glow
Soon she will know

About peace, about fight
About wrong, about right
About love, about life

School, work, friend
Learn how to bend
Explore what’s on the other end

Surely, time always knocks on the door
She, a little girl no more
And now, on the way to the life she longed for

And finally she found her own place
In this world full of maze
Today, I decided to walk away.. Walk away from all the negative thoughts, people and things that surrounds me.. Cheers to change!
You stood behind me, as we watched,
Hands cupping my face
As if they were holding something
So precious.

Your soft touch enveloped me and you leaned in,
Head nestled in my hair,
Kisses decorated my face,
My smiling face.

Your laughter filled my heart,
And all of a sudden I realised that my happiness
was from not the video we were watching but
The person I was watching it with.
Nothing overly ground breaking but a moment I don't ever want to forget.
As we grow up outside the world,
We would know each other as we always were,
We know each other's hearts,
We share our sorrows and joys,
Am blessed to be a little SISTER...!!!

Look for the light
in every soul
that walks
upon this earth
extend your hand
in friendship
and show compassion
for the poor
stand tall
for what you
believe in
and don't let
people dictate
how your story
is going to end
reach for the heavens
and be glad
for every breath
rejoice in knowing
that nature
will continue
long after
you are gone
teach the young
how to cleanse
the mighty earth
and heal each other
with undying love
express yourself
in a kind manner
and help the man
that falls to his
own personal demons
we are but fragile
dysfunctional beings
that need the human touch
the one that heals
the sick and injured
be righteous
and courageous
and most of all
forgive yourself
for all shortcomings
and be grateful
for all that you have

Shoutout the people up here
beautiful beings and creatures
its a long time since i haven't shown appreciation to the value all of you guys hold for me
you people are a blessing as much as this site is
we are because of this site
and the site is what it is because of us
everyone great in what they put out here
too much of talent and am always in awe of you guys
we all share this existential space of experience & thoughts
we are so impactful into each others brain wiring
by whatsoever kinda poem posted on here by us
we can literally visualize the works out here
that is a great thing one could make other do what by just penning down words
although we don't chat and socialize much here
i would like more of it
i think at times about we all meeting each other
knowing everyone ...in person
roam around in the city each one is
if ever granted a wish by a genie
i would be in one of your cities hanging out with you  
~
sorry guys i could only pen down so much ..... but all of you are more than this

He is

my heart's refuge....

blessed beyond what we could ask or think

Gazing at the sunset, I’m thinking about you
The thought of us together, someday soon
Hoping I’m enough, when it comes to us
The last thing I want, is to lose your trust
Words can’t describe the way I feel, it’s a mess
Nothing compares to the love we have, I’m blessed

I want you to know, my heart will forever be yours
Just promise to never hurt me or treat me unkind
I’ll be completely respectful and honest to you
If you promise in return to be the same with me
I’ll give you my love, my respect.. this, I guarantee
My heart will belong to you, and nobody else

Know that from this day on, I’m here by your side
Never will I stray away, or doubt you a single day
I just want to kiss and hold you, and never let go
Fall in love with you all over again, as I lose control
You make me feel things, that I haven’t felt in years
When I see you hurting, it brings me to tears

Being there for you is my one and only desire
I’ll never forget the night, we met by the campfire
Your beautiful laugh and your gorgeous smile
It captured my heart from that point on
You were the only one I wanted to spend time with
I know it sounds crazy, but I feel I have it all with you
