My brain, it plays games
Makes me hate everyone
Most of all myself
Tells me people are out to hurt you
So why don’t you just hurt yourself
Has me feel it won’t get better
just don't bother trying

gets me to believe I’m always in danger
but from who?
Others or you?

If I don't feel
safe with myself
How will I ever feel safe
with anyone else?
Wish i could just shut my brain!
Je n’entends pas la pluie mais en regardant sous les lampadaires, je
la vois.
Auprès de moi, Andrea. Où est-ce mon imagination, déjà ? Mon fantasme ?
Comme ce premier et dernier baiser échangé au moment de la quitter dans la rue, hier.
Je ne me suis pas retourné.

Je pense à elle avec tendresse. Déjà avec nostalgie, comme incertain du futur
Je veux la retrouver à son appartement, Ville du Mexique. 2025.
Me enamoré de una mujer.

Andrea, elle semble être la réponse à ces nombreuses récentes interrogations
Qui me torturaient, un peu.
L’Amour n’est certainement pas pragmatique mais transcendant.
Me perdre dans ses bras, j’en rêve.
Qu’elle absorbe mes inquiétudes, me les échange avec un repos digne de la mort.
Quoi de plus ?
Peau contre peau, ses longs cheveux et son rire incontrôlé.
La pluie qui se veut silencieuse face aux lampadaires traîtres.
Suis-je en train de me fabriquer un oasis d’illusions les yeux ouverts ?
M’attend-elle ?

Mon reflet apparaît dans la vitre et j’aperçois une multitude de possibilités.
Auxquelles aucune je ne semble être en mesure de saisir
« Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. »

By itself I was
myself, the souled
body with my name

Mirrors helped me
as a teenager to see myself
my hair, my nose, my shape

A life later
I split my body
off, more and more

I distance myself
from the defects of
old age and illness

to continue to recognise
myself as who I want
to have become

spiritually safe and free
rocking in the wonder
until I am no more
The emergence of dualism, the separation of the body and the (supposedly immaterial) mind

For Maria Godschalk

Collection "Metamorphic body"
The waterfall ...
Falling alone
Falling down is a waste
This is also aware of it
Still the fall is part of it
There is no answer to his loneliness
Falling is his nature.
If it was tied, it had ponds
If you find the right place in the mountain
He turns into a beautiful look...
His, his joy to all
I am jealous of his presence too
There's no option since we're not like that
They have too
Jealously its beauty with those eyes
They have a drink.
What does a waterfall have to do with it?
He falls into free joy
Until then in his life
There are the right places...
The waterfall is not pretty at all.
That's all his job flowing and collapse...
Perfect place to give him beauty..
Gives the right turns...
Happiness is not of a waterfall alone..
Of every turn of it ,
Even of the journey with it
The happiness is equally passionate...
Are you that curve or nah?
This is the real question...!!

This poem talks to your Soul ! Feel it and you will get your meaning... may be the meaning to your life too.
Today my heart is full.
not from desires fulfilled,
not from battles won.

I have wandered,
I have vanished,
I have thrived
in a world that taught me
what no thought had ever touched,
what no dream had ever dared.

I have outgrown the borders
of my own mind,
becoming someone
who believes far greater
than she ever thought
she could become.
Daniel Tucker Jul 30
I know your name
And you sure know mine--
Two hearts together
Forged by the pain of time.

I know many names
But yours is engraved
In my mind
Where all other faces
Fade and you are mine.

She stays the same
Like every morning.
Her name cannot
Change like every night.

And at the slightest
Change at our fingertips
We share the pain
And the loneliness lifts...
She knows my name.

I said, "I do" but you know
I had no heart of gold.
You said, "I do" and you did,
But I left you in the cold.

But now together you & me
And our three other hearts
Sail sweet pains ocean
But let us never drift apart.

Sometimes I don't know
Where I belong--
You know how lonely
I feel.

But life like the seas
Ebb & flow;
The answer's found
Where I kneel.

Where I kneel.

I know your name
And you sure know mine--
Two hearts together
Forged by the pain of time.

I know many names
But yours is engraved
In my mind
Where all other faces
Fade and you are mine.
My neurodivergent mind is overwhelmed with pressure, struggling under the weight of the sea.
Yet, amidst the chaos, God reaches down to pull me from the depths and set my spirit free.

i'm looking for the key to unlock my mind
have you seen it? i don’t know where it is
i have to unlock it, it's urgent
i need to retrieve something

i haven't been there in a while
it's a fascinating place
there is beauty and ugliness
but most importantly, solitude
last time i was there

i vowed never to return
i was done, fatigued, dead
i shut the door and threw away the key
but now i got to find it

i got to open the door once more
got to look inside once again
got to reclaim a vital item
once i lay my hands on it

i will never need to go back
it's the only thing i need
the one thing i can't live without, solitude
Words that rise from heart and mind,
A war within, no peace to find,
Decisions swirl, no clear reply,
Questions hang beneath the sky.


Anxiety within my veins,
A restless storm that still remains,
Sleep is lost, it will not stay,
How long will this not fade away?


How long will I be trapped inside,
This war with nowhere left to hide,
How long will questions haunt the night,
Before this soul can find its light?
when you stay up late and thoughts flow like a river in your head

I skipped a few pages, I’ll have to double back
Sort of got carried away and lost track
I’ll save some words to fill them later
Something that sounds a little greater
Maybe some nice lines, fresh in my mind
Just enough to show you I can be kind
Kind of, sort of, maybe I don’t know
Never can tell which way the words will go
Still working off of my new pad. Notice I had skipped some pages.
