Beautiful is what you are
Unbelievable how you seem
The taste of your skin delightful
The taste of your lips a dream
The sight of you undescribable
The reality of you unreal
You are like a manifested dream
A desire achieved
A blessing in misfortune
A blessing in curses
You are like a crystal in a ton of coal
A dove in an army of lions
Rain in the draught
A feast in starvation
Riches in poverty
Light in the dark
The moon in the many stars
The sun in the forest fires
And an ocean among seas
...

Life In This Bitter Land
In a place we call home
A place we find ourselves in residence of
A place dark but light
A place, woke but dead
It's a test
A test of weakness and bravery
To survive an illusion that sounds and feels real
Which is it we fight?
Truth or falsehood, if both we need plan
A plan to survive in this bitter land
A land that continues a legacy of deception
Deception that which leads away from a truth we originate
But this defines us not
For we are spirits with souls
Souls that realise our truth
Truth in a sense of reality ...

A Life Numb
I haven't been myself lately
Numbing myself of pain maybe
I'm young and it's still early
But the world's not as young sadly
It's cold and like a maze
Warm and like the rain
It comforts and it ruins
Sometimes stays or slowly fates
Like memories of a melody
Delights but it ends
You hold on you lose
You snooze you lose
There's no right doing or wrong
But a journey to be strong
It's an ongoing battle
With a quest to settle
And it gives no medals
You just continue to paddle
With the hopes to win ...

Two Soul I Call My Love Story
An emotion I caught at 16
A feeling I want not to come back if not with he
A love that never quiet escapes my mind
How nolstagic my reality has become
Reminiscing on times we once were
The dreams and promises we shared
A memory that forever marks its once was joy in a heart I gave away
To him, and once a woman I fell helplessly for
One who marked her residence in my lovesick heart
And provoked a depth of love I never knew existed in me
A memory that brings a smile on my blur face still
Two souls I call my lovestory
A tale I proudly...

Nikola
Never did I live to meet nor see a soul like he
How I wish to see the world through his eyes
Experience and feel just as he did
He saw the world for the energy and personality it truly is
He felt and saw intensely what I long to see
An angel from earth he is in my eyes
And in my dreams I wish he comes to visit
Tell tales of his life on this very earth I live
Tales of a love he drowned in
One far from man but closest to the high living creatures
The pigeon was what he lived to love, for he believed and saw himself in it
He flew as high as...

A Love Spoken: Peter
I loved him like the sun loves the skies
Needed him just as the stars need the moon
And in the stormy weather, I loved him like the lightning to the surface earth
I felt myself floating and sailing on his love waves
Breathing and feeling the winds of mount Kili in the presence of he
I waited and waited,
In my past lives and somehow this one
Wounded and scorned by my not meant to bes
And for the first I felt warm, safe, invincible and free
I've been in love before,
Two times too many
But in all my loving, I loved him
And like...
Needed him just as the stars need the moon

And for the first I felt warm, safe, invincible and free

Two times too many
But in all my loving, I loved him

Unforeseen Love: The Swae Poem
For a while I thought of love's never existence in me
I thought of its genesis being the first and last for me
But now I feel like I'm at a retake of a love undying and a new thought addiction
Somehow it feels like an addiction deja vu
The thoughts and dreams I had with a man I never knew
I feel like a feast of him in my forever word filled life
It's in how he fills the blanks of my love's desire
The way he fills the blanks of my unwritten poems
It's in the little movements and expressions he seems to put to action when with me
I remember how he...

An Old Man's Story
It's a story of an old man
One with a broken heart just before age 30
It's about a man with dreams,
A man with hopes of a love undying
He craves love and lives for the day it finally comes
But his heart can not hold - hold a love and keep
It's all the stabbing from his last attempts, so he leaks
He's a man beautiful with a smile to make one feel like a bird in the heavens
He has wrinkles from all the bottles he sipped empty,
Swollen eyes from all the sorrowful sleepless nights
He's old and paralysed down to the low of a wheelchair - ...

In My Illusion
Am I sane to a point of insanity
Or am I caught up in my own reality?
I'm unreal to the unreal world
Seen as crazy by the most delusional
Wake me up and shake me up
Up, from my world of dreams
My fantasies of a world peaceful and unseparated
Bring me back to your common paradigm
For I've become spiritual and free
Floating and vibrating in frequencies of the wind
And as it blows on the surface of my brown skin,
I connect to the roots which I come
I wish to make you see
But,
I remember
I live in a lie
Or am I caught up in my own reality?
I'm unreal to the unreal world
Seen as crazy by the most delusional
Wake me up and shake me up
Up, from my world of dreams
My fantasies of a world peaceful and unseparated
Bring me back to your common paradigm
For I've become spiritual and free
Floating and vibrating in frequencies of the wind
And as it blows on the surface of my brown skin,
I connect to the roots which I come
I wish to make you see
But,
I remember
I live in a lie

Another Love Gone
Pierced through a demon's heart with a spear of love
Watched it resist the love I was giving
Held it hostage till the day it finally fell
I held it with care
Like a newly born baby, I nurtured it
So much for the sweat and tears
It broke me
A forever type of broke
It loved and left me
Me, its keeper
I had hoped it would choose home to stay forever
But off it went
Will we meet again
Or were you too much of a prisoner than you were a someone?
Did I hold on too much that I let you slip?
Did I cage you too much you craved...
Watched it resist the love I was giving

Another Sad Story
Been holding on to what kills me
Cause of desperation to be loved
Been breathing air from a dragon
One that burned my soul to ash
Loved the aura of a young evil
I'm now in the presence of Luci
Living in blazing fire
Looking up the heavens
How regret caves in mind time to time
A feeling I wished I never lived to wear
I fake a smile just so you never know I'm at my low
I see right through you now
The prey you see when you look at me
What happened to the you I knew?
Is it dead or somewhere in you hidden?
You used to be...

If Only
You got me heartlocked,
Down on my knees and out.
Got me loving life even more,
Showing the side I've longed for.
You're on my mind thoughts infinite,
Singing I love you.
Catching A flight to heaven,
Tell God all about you
Or,
A flame to hell,
Tell Lucy how my demons led to you.
You's a star,
One beyond the seen skies.
Rain,
to the desert fields.
You shine beyond the earth,
And more out the galaxy.
Only,
If only you knew the beauty you possess.
Down on my knees and out.
Got me loving life even more,
Showing the side I've longed for.
You're on my mind thoughts infinite,
Singing I love you.
Catching A flight to heaven,
Tell God all about you
Or,
A flame to hell,
Tell Lucy how my demons led to you.
You's a star,
One beyond the seen skies.
Rain,
to the desert fields.
You shine beyond the earth,
And more out the galaxy.
Only,
If only you knew the beauty you possess.
