Golden Life
when you stare
into the abyss
Lost your way
hope has fade
remember that
you're not alone
though you may
not feel this yet
You are golden
guided softly by
invisible forces
listen to the sky
the sun & clouds
feel the wind blow
through your hair
know that in the
darkest of times
there are always
tiny silver linings
when you feel lost
abandoned & alone
know your life is golden
into the abyss
Lost your way
hope has fade
remember that
you're not alone
though you may
not feel this yet
You are golden
guided softly by
invisible forces
listen to the sky
the sun & clouds
feel the wind blow
through your hair
know that in the
darkest of times
there are always
tiny silver linings
when you feel lost
abandoned & alone
know your life is golden

Your Shelter
this is your poem
written with love
i see your story
feel your scars
i will start a fire
guide you home
& warm you up
ease your pain
tracing ley lines
of forsaken ink
read your dark
deserted pages
hold your fears
wipe away your
tears & trust me
i won't let you go
let me build you
a forever home
and make it our
own sacral place
if you wish to stay
come hide with me
i promise you are safe
written with love
i see your story
feel your scars
i will start a fire
guide you home
& warm you up
ease your pain
tracing ley lines
of forsaken ink
read your dark
deserted pages
hold your fears
wipe away your
tears & trust me
i won't let you go
let me build you
a forever home
and make it our
own sacral place
if you wish to stay
come hide with me
i promise you are safe

Too Intense
You're empathic
gentle & tender
sweet sensitive
compassionate
and creative yet
fragile vulnerable
eccentric cryptic
& complicated?
critics say you
are too intense
"difficult to love"
your lively being
can't be tamed &
you tried to change
adjust to society, its
crazy expectations
became voiceless
obedient & docile
let me tell you this
you my darling are
a magnificent orchid
precious and gorgeous ...

Sharp View
since the day he
arrived i am in awe
of his sharp view
& super clever
observations
speaking up
radically poetic
about this fucked
up society and this
new generation
its ignorance
and hatred while
switching it up with
a musical break
his knowledge of
artists & bands in his
backstage stories
with lots of humor is
jaw dropping great yet
don't forget how he bares
his soul in reflective ink
so here's an ovation to
our one...

The Master
of epic word play
and assonance
going from dark
personal pieces to
elaborate erotica
such eclectic ink
with karma, zodiac
sanskrit and eye
am truly in awe
of how he paints
sages and visions
in mystical scriptures
visionary prophecies
for us poets to see
eye adore him for
facing his demons
and his shadow side
fighting the serpents
the twilight inside
observational love
erotica or mysterious
ancient and cosmic poetry ...

She Speaks
in warm metaphors
from the heart for it's
what she knows
a way to survive
she's a true fighter
exposing her soul
the agony of her past
shamelessly despite her
fears and insecurities
yet do not ever let
her softness fool you
she is fiercely protective
of the ones she loves
razor sharp in her
smart observance
sensually seductive
in her erotic ink
as she breathes
new life into her fire
worn-out & weary

Guitar Cries
a lonesome night
their guitar cries
cut through my
heart tear me
apart take me
where i need to
be in the core
in that horrible
place where the
demons reside
uncomfortably
they fill the air
taint my space
voices & noises
coming in waves
make me numb
slay me inside
God i am tired
can't even write
i close my eyes
hide in their cries
surrender my body
into the abyss of night
their guitar cries
cut through my
heart tear me
apart take me
where i need to
be in the core
in that horrible
place where the
demons reside
uncomfortably
they fill the air
taint my space
voices & noises
coming in waves
make me numb
slay me inside
God i am tired

hide in their cries

Crescendos
allow me to wipe
off the dust love
slide my fingers
over your keys
play you softly
pour light into
your darkness
ease the black
revive the white
bring back to life
the sound of your
soul & heal your
years old scars
create a private
silent symphony
divine harmony
in delicate notes
& elegant tones
from the depths
of despair to the
peaks of pleasure
in a slow crescendo
until you moan in music
off the dust love
slide my fingers
over your keys
play you softly
pour light into
your darkness
ease the black
revive the white
bring back to life
the sound of your
soul & heal your
years old scars
create a private
silent symphony
divine harmony
in delicate notes

About Love
love is the miracle
that happens when
you least expect it
a gift from above
sublimely unique
love doesn't seek
love is the person
who is there in the
most alone times
to hold you tight
not being a task
love doesn't ask
love should come
easy & organically
grow like a flower
as time goes by
blooming quietly
love doesn't fight
love is giving from
a heart that is pure
caring & empathic
being present for ...

D's Poetry
about the writing
process in here
& how it goes
it usually starts
with music a pic
and concept or
favorite quote
words on paper
left to simmer for
a couple of days
at times weeks
adding pieces &
deleting bits next
is over and over
finetuning lines
it's a nightmare
a perfectionist to
the core the bar
is set high and
the control freak
doesn't make any
concessions to the
content, format & flow

Thirty Five
Thirty five+ years
of fighting an ED
Called bulimia
is far from easy
'cause healing
is not linear it's
setbacks falling
down & crawling
back up starting
over at point 0
the holistic work
i am doing with S
causes changes
slowly over time
going to the gym
and working out is
a mood boost yet
still didn't suffice
added microdoses
Truffles to the mix
it certainly asks for
some heavy artillery
this fucking ED of mine
