Contradiction that is my soul name,
strong but weak,
good but bad,
can be controlled but out of control,
happy but depressed,

LOST but LOST.
 May 2014 Et cetera
Peter Cullen
Seek those tender moments,
embrace them with your soul.
Remember them for all their truths
before you grow too old.
Before you're lost to reason,
with a shield to hide the light.
Remember them for what they are,
they'll lead you to what's right.
What your vessel carries,
sometimes faulters
sometimes cracks,
but remember once you see the light
there ain't no headng back.
See light is sometimes handy,
when you've been basking in the dark,
but we should try remember,
just to listen to our hearts
If only everyone of us
could listen to our heart.

beware when you fall in love
with an artist
be it a painter, a singer, or poet

for the artist will
paint you
with strokes and hues
in shapes of every kind

sing about you
with heartbreak lyrics
and feelings which rhyme

write about you
with the simplest words
and a secret message she wants to say

beware of the artist,
and her love
one wrong move
and you're an artwork in her display

These bewildering trees,
cold winters,
heavy snow,
and anxiety filled eyes
have taken a piece of me.
Who I was,
or who I thought I was.
I am a shell, in a
vast and open sea.
Waiting for a wave,
to cast me out
into a new current.
I am a hollow being,
waiting for my new soul.

Mr X
He is many...
He is the one who has many souls.

He is the voice of the rain,
The thunder of the clouds.

He is a woman's lament.
The pain which screams so loud.

He is the old man's regret,
He is the heap of his winnings.

He is the blood running through the veins of the youth.
He is the destructive hands of truth.

He is a child's lullaby.
He is her wildest dreams.

He is a song of the birds,
He is the current of the flowing stream.

He is our desire,
He is our anguish.

He is our voice ,
He is the beauty in us.

He is a poet,
He'll always be a part of us.

We all will find someone
With whom we don't have to Pretend.
That one person will love us,
Exactly the way we are.

It makes the hands bleed that uses it. "*

Hate Love
 May 2014 Et cetera
Mr X
I have hated all those
I have silently loved...
 May 2014 Et cetera
Mr X
I have come a long way...
Travelled a long distance...

Away from my own being,
Towards an ideal self.

I have lost my soul
To their cheers and applauds.

They call it success.
I call it my failure.
