Poet Introduction
Ella Neftali, Lifes a beautiful struggle.
A Soul Mate Waits
The clock hands on my watch grow tired
Tired of waiting for you.
I guess it has to be another reason
Why the black and blue abuse take over my heart.
One more reason to add to why I fall apart.
Because I sit here holding a delicate flower
That wants to wither away in the wind.
With sin resting on my chest
I can't help, but feel inadequate.
With self doubts weighing in my head like lead.
I feel every ounce of the dread set in.
Its been said to consume a soul with the boldest of lights.
So dark, the night feels the fright.
And my...

Blessings in the Forms of f**k You's.
Mistakes
are blessings in disguised.
Make them
And you will grow from them.
Plant them
And you will have fruits
For thoughts.

Hold Me, the Tree Said.
b]Hold me,
The tree said to the wind.
Show me what I have been missing.
Caress me until the warmth of the sunset ends.
And I can no longer see past my autumn leaves.
Kiss me with a gentle breeze.
While I stand fixated under the indigo sky
Bleeding a thousand generations.
Give me meaning
Because I have watched as flowers have rised and withered away
Under the passing moon.
Whispering to me their secrets.
Sharing with me their past.
Showing how fragile a soul can be.
I have been centered on this earth
Infatuated with life and...

Green Eyed Goddess (Canyon City Green)
Intro
You are the one
Who sets I soul on fire.
You are the one
Who lights I desire.
Verse 1
I miss the days we use to tip toe
At night
With the twilight
Hanging above our heads.
The way your eyes lit up
With the sky
I was mesmerized
By the summer's delight.
The might of your words
Sent my spine tingling.
You were really
that serene
Green goddess (everybody yells it) ****
You make me realize
The simple things in life
Are truly Free.
Green goddess ****

Romance Died with the Romantic
I am hopeless
When I should be realistic.
I am cold
When I should be warm.
I am distant
When I should be close.
But this was how I was made.
To hide.
To defend.
To chase the parts of me that bleed
with enduring feats.
I am bold at times.
Taking risk that come with gaining
Bruises on my chest.
I am lost at times.
Kissing confusion on her forehead
With self doubts being whispered in my ears.
I am determined always.

Green Goddess (I guess I'm in a band now)
Intro
Yo, I need some desire in my life.
I gotta make her my wife.
I have to beat the strife.
So Ignite her, I pack her in my bowl.
I come to understand why I pay the toll

Religion or No Religion We Are One In the Same
I have no religion.
But in my heart I hold faith
That somewhere in the depth of our souls
We harbour humanity.
We harbour the ability to remind ourselves
That we are all one in the same.
I believe we are connected
In some Cosmic way.
Our lives are tangled
Through universal webs.
We have met in previous life's
Where you and I shared
A smile; A hug; A laugh; A conversation.
Our children ran under clouded skies
With laughter in their bellies.
We stared out into the openness
Of an orange and pink sun set. ...

Lovers Dreams
I'm in love with a dream; a woman who reads, hikes and writes poetry.
I'm in love with a dream; a woman who dwells in the delusional crevices of my imagination.
Tugging at my brain stem she pulls my wakeful eyes shut, to sleep.
Hopping into the driver seat of my soul, she stirs me into an emotional wreck.
Signals shoot to my limbic system, I begin to crave her touch, her scent, her words.
I can feel the heaviness of her breath against the linning of my jaw.
I'm anxious as she dances on my amygdala.
Its as if logic has been put on pause.
I am...

To Say Something Worth While
To say you love me is to accept me at my worst.
It is to hold me from behind and remind myself that life is what you make of it.
Share a smile with me and I will nourish your soul with my words.
I will clasp my arms around your fragile body, whispering fruits into your ears.
Protecting you from the parts of your egos that chase with enduring feats.
I will be there for every heart shattering moment where you feel weak like an old weeping willow.
Shivering in the wind, swaying side to side with sinful fruits weighing your branches down .

Weaves Weren't Made for Rough Play
I hope you do not wear fake hair
Because I like it rough.
The way lions pounce on each other
In the wild.
The way they tug at the back of their manes, their necks.
I can't help but want to nibble on the contour of your doodle.
From your chin down to your breast.
I'd kiss the sunshine out of your skin.
I would trace the outline of your hips with seductive fingertips.
Painting you the color of lost desire.
You could taste the next 60 years of life on my lips.
Whisper me into sunsets
And I will show you how much of an animal I can be. ...

I Was Born Awkward. I Will Die Awkward.
Growing up
I was awkward.
Growing old
I am awkward.
Looking at you
I feel awkward.
Thinking about it
You are awkward
Enough with the trivial shit.
Why dont we just
Make an awkward mess
Together?
I was awkward.

At 7:38pm on December 4th I was given great advice.
Awkwardly staring at me.
With a Face full of hair.
And Eyes pouring wisdom
A beautiful man shared with me
His fruit from the tree of knowledge.
Standing in the door way.
One hand on the handle
The other on his chin.
He stared at me and said:
Its simple, really.
It's a case of incapability.
See, you may think
you have everything in common with this girl
but apparently there is something
You both do not share.
And In the pit of her stomach
She knows this
She can feel it.
At times you come across people...
