Trapped In Your Swollen Heart
Damaged.
Someone did you wrong.
Now we pay for it.
Shame to the one that did you wrong.
Shame on you for falling for it.
Over and over again.
You’re circling into your own tail.
A toxic circle of dizziness.
Good at times but can you come back?
Will you be trapped in the past?
The guy who hurt her the most she will forever love.
What did we do to pay this price?
What must be done to get what we deserve?

Wednesday 2024 Lovers Card
Ordinarily it would have significance.
Last year was different why compare?
Life is a full game as learned like truth or dare.
Love comes from within.
Do you love what you are doing currently?
Do you love who you are?
Mirrors point back haunting images of her regret.
Have you loved yourself yet?
Without self love and confidence how do you expect to share anything with anyone?
Entering this card together.
Come to one another whole.
No need to bring your tools.
Worked over the years to become what is seen now.
Mistakes may be...

Hit By Fire
Was I surprised at how tempting it was to get burnt?
Like brushing my hands over a stove of flames.
A short time to feel all the seasons.
Not enough.
Never enough time.
Feels so good to be warm.
Comforted in the unforgiving cold.
Ignoring expectations.
Solace in the feeling of freedom.
Until the right card is drawn.
Capable of creating the perfect deck.
The story doesn’t end with a king being alone.
He just dodges arrows that are red.
Till he catches the one that is green.

New York 2024
As the ball drops there are no expectations.
Your lips are looking lonely.
Placed right there among the crowd.
Even with many people around.
Vision stays focused on your needing embrace.
This isn’t an imagined romantic place.
Hearing you is hard.
With everyone so loud.
Can we disappear and separate from the crowd?
This place remains the same.
This isn’t your real urge.
No need to spell it out.
Act accordingly.
Learning life is impermanence.
Thinking about this moment right now.
Not just the new year.
Reality can...

Family Christmas Car Rides From The Past
Sitting in the back was always my preference.
I couldn’t tell you why I just wanted to vibe.
Vibe alone at the time.
Big headphones blocked my ears.
Visualization at such a young age was really activated.
Back then I wasn't even over stimulated.
Like many today.
Overstimulated.
Who are we to blame them?
If I fell asleep I’d wake up after like I never slept.
Can’t wait to see Grandma and Grandpa.
The home cooked food would be eaten as long as I could handle.
I anticipated some really cool gifts.
I’d make sure my sugar intake...

Angel From The Waves
Parked my car not knowing what to expect.
Two-hour coins were now inserted.
Walking through the rain that day my nerves served an all-time high.
Walked into the door of this place.
I took a right and continued walking in straight.
My eyes became instantly delighted.
There sat an angel.
She put me in a daze.
The good kind that could combust a man in place.
From the time we exchanged words I sensed a spark.
The type that’s not normal.
She delivered her words and beauty with deep depth.
Hours passed without us knowing.
We were...

Stance Standing Or Sitting Still
Absorbing the good things.
Confident in this path I’m placed.
Similar if not worse some have already faced.
Up moving in the direction I’ve known all along.
No longer do I ever ask what It takes .
I know what to do.
Better than what was ever done before.
No need for me to break out of this calmness. Time sits still to remember how I got here. Grateful I remain forever.

Conversations Under The Blue Moon At A Distance
Look at what we see.
Here and there.
You tell me to look.
I notice what was there that I didn’t see.
You found a way for us to connect.
The sky shared that moment with us and the unknowing world.
I see shapes in the moon.
A road map to you.
Tell me what you see from a distance.
Cause I see a future with us.

Cemetery Of Impermanence
Older but forever young.
Chasing dreams till legs feel no pain.
Can’t correlate with the lazy.
I’d rather not suffer the comforting train.
Let a thought sit but don’t allow it to stay.
Good or bad the memories fade away.
Look at your past as if they are now tombstones.
What’s inscribed on their personal rock?
What have we done that holds everlasting meaning?
Was it all just for ourselves or for the betterment of the world?
Most of us have weak legs where do we stand?

How Did I Come Across You?
Was stuck as if it was possible to be frozen in the heat of summer.
Not for too long.
Never ruled out a miracle.
At the time it seemed somewhat impossible.
As things grow you will never see what it is until it’s done growing.
Sitting across from you erased any past bad memory.
Meeting you encompassed all past pain.
It’s possible to get lost talking to you for hours.
After hours even after the restaurant closes.
The look in your eyes tells it all.
The deep gasp of air from the goodness of what’s come of this short time.
Exactly that. ...

Ate Not Full
Universe what does she look like?
The sun of the summer exposes our hearts.
Heat burns right through the skin.
Beautiful outside.
Raw and hollow inside.
Where does all that’s inside hang?
Things hang on the lungs as we remind ourselves to breathe.
A structure worth both my eyes to see.
These days there is a cost and love doesn’t come for free.
Be the best you can be regardless.
Come to me to rest.
Capture the moment and freeze it forever.
Intensify the situation that calls for a kiss.
Bury your lips deeper.
These nights...

Walking Meditation (writer’s block)(road to temple)
The universe wrote songs.
Thrown out to be heard.
A shot in the dark.
A pipe dream.
Yes.
An effortless try to correlate a stranger’s pain.
Walking in calmness like this before.
Then practicing for the oncoming storm.
Fears called for perfection.
So calm at a time that called for ruin.
Further ruin.
Thoughts and words are always consumed with them and the other.
Everything heals from the inside.
Why is the inside forgotten?
Not as appealing just bones and blood.
The soul remains flooding above a puddle of life. ...
