Love glows in my chest
Composes my very nature
Tests my every limit
Leaves me sleepless
Restless

To want
and to be wanted
is an all too human condition-
or is it a flaw?
Either way,
it is nothing to
feel shame for.

I am full of disappointment
Existential dread
That every breath I take
Is corrosive to my mind
Gnawing away at my essence
Dulling its shine

You

You made me feel, again..
You made me hope, again...

Y O U

It was all..
Y O U

I've fallen for you.
Please. Don't drop me...

I trust you.

I see a lion
through the rose petals
in the bushes
his mane forms and rests
The wind blows
and I can hear
his roar
revealing a pink tongue
The gold of his body
blends into the gold of the grass
It glistens and it shines
I see his power
It is mine.

I'm bound by thin shackles, thick ones too,
My mind is held hostage and how I try to escape,
My body may move, yet the Chains of History keep me bottled, I can't forget the ghosts of my past; the traps I so blindly walked into,
How they love to linger,
As a painful reminder of my regrets and remorse,
They speak to me, like every rose to its thorn,
They bind tighter,
I smile.
For with them,
I am Complete.

I'm a big fish in a small pond
I dream big
I see strong
I dig deep
To find what's wrong

Bring it to the surface
Where it belongs
To be processed
and addressed;

Reclassified
To bring me closer to success.

Love is simple
Yet complex
Miscommunication
Can cause wrecks
Of the emotional kind
Leave us confused
Wondering, why?
Make us so mad
We want to cry
Sometimes so hurt
We want to die
Yet in the midst
We search for it
Crave it
Because we know deep inside
It's what most makes us feel alive
What powers our essence
The Divine Spiritual vibe
Which connects us all
On this wild ride.
