Heaviness
In my heart and on my mind tonight.
Short solutions instead of
Revolutions
For far too long it seems.

Bitter, lonely, hatred, greed
In so much of humanity.
My Purpose for this life
Is to BE Love.
Tonight, I just weep.

We cannot keep simply masking
When the root of fear and pain
Needs dug out, yet runs deep.
It's not a simple task,
Nor will it be easy.

But with principles like
Mindfulness, Compassion, Vulnerability
We reach the root cause of all this hurt
And bring healing in it's purest form.

Connection is the true craving -
Face to face, heart to heart.
Going within to love all parts,
And then through Love
Extending out.

It can be done,
This dreamer's favorite words.
But I promise to keep healing my hurt,
So I can love you more.

Please agree, say you'll join me
Through kindness and authenticity.
So that a dreamer's words
Will fulfill Root Resolutions.
Hand in Hand,
Heart to Heart.

How strange it is that I leave you behind,
Yet you remain the reason for every dream I chase.
You are a ghost who walks beside me,
Still alive in my memories and hopes.
Your presence echoes in yesterday's stories,
And shimmers in tomorrow's unmapped stars.
You are the footprints to where my heart has led,
And the distant lights glowing from afar.
Your past flows into my future,
To shape me into who I will become.

It blew in off the sea

It went out on a limb

And broke the olive branch

Do you hear the wind through the hair of revolution

--black raven hair--

Bone straight and frayed

The split ends of society forging separate paths

Progression at their tips, regression in their roots

It makes a sound akin to the back of an old haunted house settling

It wandered here in due season

It's about to be cut short

It's about to be swept away

The emigrants there

wear sneakers, they have a dream --


of buying real shoes.

My world is being *****
into
a residential park.
My great-grandfather's land
has been filled with concrete
and the roof
that my grandparents covered
has been torn down.
The swing
that the father built for the daughters
has long been rotting
with dead dogs
in the dung heap
that will soon be a parking lot.
And then there is nothing.
And nobody.

I just want to layout on top of a straight line to mourn over my past life that I left behind. The new beginning has waited for me for so long that I thought pride would have come over me, even though that is not the case, no matter the circumstances of your past life, it will always follow you to your new life. It never escapes your new beginning, no matter how happy you are, the moment you layout on top of a straight line it all comes back to you.

Sitting by the rails
Wondering when my train will come
Cold breeze wandering like a rider in the wind
Feeling the metal bench
rusting with time
Seeing people passing by, covered by a warmth
And me,
Still sitting,
Wondering when my train will arrive
hope may arrive

what do you see while you're building a completely new future
with no trace of me
with her?

do you see lazy college days
and dancing late at night?

do you see a new apartment
and 2 golden retrievers?

do you see proposing in a park
and crying at your wedding?

do you see buying a house
and having children?

do you see parenting
and traveling?

do you see peace
and growing old together?

do you see me
standing in the corner
watching you live the future
that you pinky promised me?

The moon is big and red in the sky tonight,  
And this month, again, your body bleeds from between your thighs.  
Why is it so hard to create a life?  
A silent futile fight.

A baby, a family of three,
A new branch to our family tree.
I wish you to be a mother, and me, our baby’s father.  
But the wait only adds more weight,  
Heaviness and stress.

There is nothing wrong with your body,  
So please do not blame yourself.
If a god exists, then in her time,  
She will give us the gift of a new life,
Blessed with happiness and health.

My love for you will always be strong,  
And I will always be here for you.
With every tear and every cry,  
I believe that one day,  
We will have our time
To bring a beautiful baby into our life.

I’ve always wanted the mountains
The cold, French love, and fresh snow
Rain, writing as my passion, pale and
On my own

You’ve always wanted the warm beach
The rays of sunshine, Spanish romance,
The sand between your toes, with a
Family and God by your side

I’ve imagined a family, as I’ve gotten older
I’ve imagined warmth and people
I’ve learned to be faithful and to love
A romance of a new language, waves
Crashing into me with more force than
I can stand

Your dreams became mine, my dreams became
Your lips on me forever. Rings that
Symbolize more than pride and wealth
Children that look like you
Warmth in the life that has only known the cold
A future with you
