O Brian,
Why are you in despair?
The sun still shines behind the clouds
And you still inhale air.

O Brian,
Your life is in strife;
Despair your partner,
Exhaustion your wife.

O Brian,
What can you do?
Your efforts are empty,
The old still vanquishes the new.

O Brian, Brian,
Where’s your support?
Do you have friends?
Someone to court?

O Brian,
Your thoughts are confused;
One idea opposes another,
You are being used.

O Brian, Brian,
Take a breath;
Before you wear out
And collapse in death.

O Brian, Brian,
If anything is a guide,
Let it be unbounding
Until on true freedom you glide!
At least this is a third-person self portrayal lol.

Floating kites are for none to keep,
they sail with a subtle grace
and forsake the biblical goth
who regrets to let go of his kite.
Slanting forces try to slay its flight,
but end up launching it high,
high enough  for it to never retreat
to the land blotted with ***** feet.
Born to fly like a lost feather,
to crash or to fly away into space
is for the Gods to decide
and not the wind or the tide.

As I walked this earth to find you
I also found myself.
On my way to you, I understood that
this path is so long, though,
it could never unflame my heart
for my steps, toward you,
were never bootless;
beneath the act of loving you
I also learned to love myself.
Beyond the search of you, yet I never sought,
I also learned the now of my present
for in you, I am bondless
yet boundless at the time.

never once
have (You) been
alone when the stars
exist to guide You
(hOMe) when
oceans
roar
to
help
You know
(the) storm in
You is welcome
too, there's nothing
wrong inside of You
i see a (Light)
alive in
You
oh
tell
me that
You feel it too-
this boundless
Love (inside)
of You

You hOMe the Light inside
A single word translates to every language
For it speaks not to the mind but to the heart
Not understood but felt

Through time man has tried to convey its meaning
But a net of ink yields empty

How does one describe a word that has new meaning with every utterance
and with ever person to whom it is uttered

A word that evokes feelings as  perilous as the sea
As boundless and as unfathomable

Perilous as it my be
There exist moments
When even the sea can fall still
Its waters so tame that even the deepest point may look shallow

If one was to take the plunge
They would gleam the subtle yet stunning beauty
Of the word that shakes man to his soul  

Once you have taken the plunge
You must open your eyes
Finding yourself in a new world
It is deep at times it is terrifying
So vast it can make you feel small


Under water, beams of light dance through the shadows
Their rays cutting through it

For the true meaning of the word is not pure joy
But something of such depth is scares you
Conquering fear so you can bask in the light
Embracing the shadows knowing they will pass

Let it be
Light and dark
Cold and warm
Just let it be, there
The word is love

I love you more than life itself
My time's been spent slowly expiring on the shelf
I've found reason to go on again
Reason to be
A place where I belong
Another verse to continue my song
No longer a solo performer
Now a duet, we take the stage
Nothing can match your beauty
Illuminated by a bold, yet setting moon
As I look at you, you look at me
And in your eyes, I see it
The boundless love you feel for me
And in your eyes, I see it
The future I've been lacking
Eternity to be spent by your side
And with you...
With you my heart will always reside

Please I beg of you

That no matter how hard it gets

Or how misunderstood your heart becomes,

Do not let this chaotic world turn
You cold.
Please don't allow yourself to become as hard as ice.

Let yourself forgive and forgive and forgive.

Don't fight love,
Let it in.
Keep your fire.

Holding back just slowly makes you like the rest of them.


What kind of world would we live in
If we didn't have people strong enough to show people
That love and only love
Is what keeps the rest of this freezing world, warm?
Love is life. Love is warmth.
He walks all the way
On busy and lonely roads to reach her
As he passes by her house
He looks up once
wishing he could see her through the window sill
at least her silhouette formed behind the window curtain
and she pulls her tender hair strands falling in front of her lovely deep eyes
where lay secrets deeper and darker than the mysterious sea
and tucks them behind her ears

but in real life, the illusions are shattered
The Young Man, he sees nothing but a closed window
he goes back walking home silently in dismay

but the yearning desire to see her for one more time never dies within
So, he looks back once again.

There is always hope that lies inside of him
burning like a fire that never goes out, the eternal flame
such is the kind of love he has towards her
which makes him walk all over again to her
every single day, longing to see her for one last time.
Love is abstract ,so it attracts.
One feeling  , universal  to all living beings.

Plants ,loved and nurtured ,swing and sway to the music played .
Holding roots, withstanding storms ,Going lush green when truly loved .
Bearing nuts and berries or flowers in bloom .
What a sight to behold .

Animals , you feed them ,pets or non pets ,they follow you everywhere ,
Wanting to have more and giving back even more ,Love that is .

Humans , blessed of all the beings,
We can express  ourselves through thoughts and words .
Love we receive from and reciprocate to
parents siblings spouse children friends and all fellow beings .

It's true that some barren fields do not yield
Should it stop one from looking beyond,
There are greener pastures waiting to be found.
God's ways and love is profound.

If I could , I would be a floating pontoon to the many lost souls ,
Bridging their path and holding them together,
Till eternity !!
Coz love in abundance I have found.
Once more , sharing it here  :)
Thanks
