#fulfilment
Some days the world is just a place
inside your head
Your voice
Your breath
So still
So dead
Breathe in
Breathe out
Feel the life within each cell
You’ve earnt the piece where peace
should dwell
Your place
Your space
Your pace
Own your steps
Your story awaits

So far away from me
Having no rest to be at home
you want to go out into the world
and your work is the cloak
in which you travel
Everywhere, too little with me
you have a home for a while
and less and less a place
where you want to stay
even though everything
you need is there, here
with me, together with me
not somewhere far away
where you have a pleasant time
and success in prosperous cities
a happy life
but not the dream that
you can fulfil with me

I will take this moment
Clutch it between my teeth
Bite down into its seams
And even though
The burn is bittersweet
Nothing else
Will ever matter more to me
Than loving this moment,
This life,
As violently as I need

Happy: not wanting,
solely letting go of what --
I no longer want.

Time used to breathe, like us.
But then we turned it into sand
we turned it into a commodity,
something that can be spent, wasted, served
We shackle our wrists with it.
I wish sometimes that we can go back
to a time where time just is
where you can 'waste' a day
doing whatever makes you happy
and not feel ashamed.

Less manual work,
more machines, does that make us --
more and more happy?

Returning nests to their trees
Raking the wind for the leaves
You’re too busy to miss me
Creating shadows behind a screen
Stitching seasons at their seams
You’re too busy to miss me
Gathering the stars and their gleam
Scattering fears and their screams
You’re too busy to miss me
Washing winter in it’s stream
Painting the world a brighter green
You’re too busy to miss me
Missing me would mean
taking away your dream
…so please, don’t miss me

7 Harsh truths
(Advice for my kids, and anyone who struggles to let go)
1/ Stop showing up, where you're not wanted and hoping to be needed by someone you really like.
2/ Be brave and let go of the people who are not ready to reciprocate your love, or show little interest in you or your company.
(If they didn't see you coming, then they didn't see you at all!)
3/ Stop struggling with people who are not yet ready to change, you have a yearning to be understood, don't invest your energy's into troubled souls, or be fooled by the appreciation of the sycophants.
4/ Don't be sorry to let people go! set them free, and in time they may find their own calling
5/ There are billions of opportunities in life without the need for modification;
"Like finds like" so be true; and just get on with being you.
6/ A good job well done is where the beauty lies, and there's plenty of work to be done.
Find something you really enjoy, and do it for the rest of your life; time is short, so get on with it, and have fun with the destiny you deserve.
7/ Be both bold and polite; be that guy.

As the crescent moon
Awaits fulfilment again
We, too, wax and wane

A masquerade of perpetual fear,
for all steps were in unison.
For who would misstep with
unkept flames catching
each indiscretion.
Hollow melodies capture the soul,
bounding it with this dance
of the dead, neither a choreography
but a chain of resonance
where bones scrunch in fatigue.
The hell fire ball, where all burn eventually,
Singed gowns, and suits charred.
But the devil is in the details,
and we shall dance till we bleed of die.
Perfection is a demon of fulfilment...

as a child, you can't wait to grow up.
as an adult, you either suppress or fulfill
your childly needs.
some of us do both; but it's the balance that counts.

To take that step
You bare your soul
Ready for rejection
Vulnerability taking hold
To take that step
You steel yourself
Ready for acceptance
Love thyself
To take that step
You make a transition
Acceptance, rejection
What’s the decision
But to not to take that step
To not be vulnerable
Keeps you safe
Leaves you comfortable
To not take the step
A life stagnates
Lack of fulfilment

Well I guess this is me,
They say once you’ve hit rock bottom you can only go upwards,
Well I hit the rock and pushed up into my mind,
Revealed the sky and shot up into the night.
Though all the scars and torture I’ve trodden those that are tattooed on my skin,
The mud might have weighed down my boots but I’m stronger now than I ever have been.
A somewhat sober somebody, turning my life into something instead of melting into another nothing.

You set my mind,
Alight.
Mesmerized;
Every time,
I see your smile.
You're a treasure.
The one I cherish.
You're a beauty.
A sight to always relish.
You are precious.
Rare. Priceless.
A standout of no equal.
Peerless.
You're a treat.
Sweet as berry.
You're everything and more.
The cherry on top.
You're a prize.
The biggest catch any man could find.
Every other thing is benign,
So long as you're mine.

Why do I love you?
A million reasons, a million things.
More that what you could imagine.
Where do I even begin?
Is it your smile that lights up any room?
Your smile that eases whatever I'm going through.
A smile like no other.
A gift from God. A treasure, a wonder.
Could it be the sound of your voice?
The melody in your words?
It could be the sweetness in your whisper.
The one that melts my heart, makes me tender.
Perhaps, its the way you overlook my faults.
Maybe it's in the rhythm to your walk?
The pump in your strut?
Always focused, filled with guts.
Or is it the way you calm the storms within?
Or the way your touch feels without?
Is it the beauty from inside?
Or the shape, the curves on the outside?
Let's not even get into the food.
Every stir, every sprinkle.
Poetry in motion. Masterful.
Happiness, in every mouthful.
I could go on forever.
It's not one thing exactly or the other.
All I know is I will never tire;
Of reasons, why I love you.

Let’s go to places we’ve never been.
Let’s go see things we’ve never seen.
Let me show you a world beyond your dreams.
Cause together, me and you, we’re a team.
I don’t wanna take you on a thrill.
I want to show you my love is real.
Show you that a man could make all your doubts, seem so little.
That a man could ease your life, no troubles.
That a man could fill you, with so much mettle.
Make all your worries, fickle.
Your problems, dwindle.
Your trials, nimble.
A man that will tell no fables.
That will make your body, his temple.
That will make your heart, settled.
And your place in his heart, nestled
Place You, on a pedestal.
On the very highest, of levels.

Step into the light.
With that smile,
You have no reason to shy;
Away. Sway,
With the tide.
Beam with pride.
Put your fears aside.
Soar to new heights.
Set fire, burn bright.
Show the world its your time,
To shine. . .

Life is costly, With all the time we take.
We spend our lives worrying about what we’ll make.
But when it’s all said and done it’s all about the total spend.
We have a finite amount, And none to lend.
As sad as it is, time kills us all in the end.
So spend it wisely and create no waste.
Enjoy what you have and forgo the haste.

*My heart
Feels like a frostbitten cave nobody should ever go in.
My soul
Feels exhausted, drained and spread really thin.
My mind
Feels like its fighting battles it can never win.*
I find my thoughts
Consumed with anger and despair,
Evil feelings who have created a lair –
A base of operations within my mind,
Staring at the world with a terrifying glare.
And yet, despite all this,
Nothing kills me more than being alone.
This need to experience humanity
Is not simply an act of vanity,
Or a call for attention,
But an attempt at reclaiming sanity.
We are the loneliest generation of all time;
Previous overlords used force to rule,
And whoever didn’t follow was lambasted,
Marked as a traitor and a base fool.
Now, force is merely a tool,
One in many of a lethal arsenal.
Social hierarchies are fake, sometimes downright farcical –
Now, we are divided and conquered.
Our communities have collided,
Our love for each other is drained and flustered.
We are armed with shields of prejudice,
Careening towards a perilous precipice
Of watching out only for ourselves,
With no room in our hearts for anyone else.
I just wish I could let go –
I wish I was an atom of boiling water,
About to break free and become steam,
I wish to taste of true freedom,
To at least get one, tiny gleam.
Yet,
I find myself weary, tired and trapped,
A torturous routine so well-travelled
That, at this point, I could say my brain has it mapped.
I close my eyes
And see visions of you I wish I could forget.
I wish I’d looked before I leapt,
Rather than live with this pain and regret.
I close my eyes, and see
Years of seeking somewhere I belong,
Brothers and sisters with whom I can stand strong.
Yet,
All I seem to find
Is people struggling with their daily grind,
Souls that are just as tired as mine, if not more.
*And so, I find myself
Dealing with this constant craving,
Ranting and raving,
Hoping that this frosty cave is still open to reclaiming,
Hoping that my soul is still worth saving,
And that my mind still finds this battlefield worth braving.*

Nonentity to Fulfilment!
Obscurity to Clarity
Aimless to purposefulness!
Hopelessness to Dreaming….
I walked from there to here!
In a journey that you walked also before we meet!
Walked slowly… in fear…with pain…hand in hand with despair…
Walked of the road… lost and in silence…
Angry from everything and everyone…
Angry of myself!
Walked in noises and my heart not around!
walked in….
and
I have faith in that we all fall and we all recover…
And
I saw Ego died in R1 and “All/we” reborn.
And
I felt dreams came true in life…
And
I sensed authenticity shining in those faces I love… shining in eyes without words!!!
And
That is the faith that keep us Unique!
I am A hippo!
I am HAP…. Hippo And Proud!
