POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Amber
These mysteries greet me with envy
Maybe I'm not doing what I could
It's bittersweet upon entry
But maybe it's not what I should
All I can do is keep searching
For options that seem good
If only they wouldn't greet me
In ways so misunderstood
Yellow tape and bee's knees
I shrug it off if I please
I tempt myself and see these
Warnings I always heed
Just gotta put it to a pen
So I can stay zen
So I can think back and instead
Be proud of back then
Whether it's love that you feel
Or need at your heels
One...

Onefold
Bleak and dry
High and mighty
Wishful thinking
Fighting blindly
Hope at best
Love at worst
What a test
Broken words
Biggest goal
Smallest feelings
Open soul
Godless dealings
Unsettled scores
Unfinished business
On the floor
Openly hidden
Unread books
Unseen poems
Sundered looks
Never lower
High as the sky
Low as the dirt
My, oh my
Familiar hurt
High and mighty
Wishful thinking
Fighting blindly
Hope at best
Love at worst
What a test
Broken words
Biggest goal
Smallest feelings
Open soul
Godless dealings
Unsettled scores
Unfinished business
On the floor
Openly hidden
Unread books
Unseen poems
Sundered looks
Never lower
High as the sky
Low as the dirt
My, oh my

Being
I've had the strength to question my views
So it's safe to say we've all been in your shoes
Follow the signs, grasp the clues
Thy always seek the better news
A leaf on the ground is much like a soul
It's fallen from the tree but it is still part of the whole
Never alone, never to be sold
To a world that may seem so cold
Living within your personal truth
Rather than seeing it from a distance
Is not as easy as living your youth
But the feelings it brings will dismiss this
All as One, One as all
For goals we all have in sight...

Reflections Pt 2
Expression, brings me out of my troubled times
Impression, is what I make with a Rhyme
Intention, is what sets it all in motion
Regression, is what leaves it all behind
Accept reality for what it is rather than what it is not
Perception can change with the spark of a thought

Cycles
Where is my mind?
Don't tell me it's fine.
I'm sick of all the trying.
Sick of the lying.
There's no sense in hiding
This feeling of being left behind.
Never will I find
Understanding of this kind.
Feeling high
Is clearly not my reason
Or my rhyme
For being here at this time.
Simple things are all I ask for.
My heartfelt words
Are on the floor,
And my Love is out the door.
Don't tell me it's fine.
I'm sick of all the trying.

There's no sense in hiding
This feeling of being left behind.
Never will I find

A Perfect Circle
Holy Light
Shed on me at this time
I'm feeling lost without a reason
Thoughts are filled with treason
Hoping sometime soon I will find
My solace, my peace of mind.
My reason for trying.
Obstacles come and they go south
Usually leaving behind
A sour taste in your mouth
Unless you see the signs
Shed on me at this time

Thoughts are filled with treason
Hoping sometime soon I will find
My solace, my peace of mind.
My reason for trying.

A sour taste in your mouth

The Big Picture
Bound at the ankles by the Flow of the Soul
It must be fate
Cause youd never wish this upon yourself
Every waking day is a reminder that we dont know who we are
With your ears open and your heart on your sleeve
Wishing and hoping for a better understanding
Hold your head up high, sister, cuz youre not alone
and the answers lie at the end of the path, on the stone
Overanalyzing this fucked up situation
The only way to stop the madness and confusion
is to defeat the illusion of separation
Of the mind and of the self you know and love
...

Maya Neptune
Hub of everything we do
They call it Hunah-pu
It goes beyond our past or roots,
The Fruit of Life and Forgotten Truths
Speculation and Questions alike
pile high atop the "point of Life"
Why are we here? Why aren't we there?
A Sacred Tree? A Source of Matter?
Space and Time? Ascended Masters?
Information is grand and Life is too
but still Humanity sits wondering who
or what could have possibly compelled us
to comprehend the Stars and their Novas

Cloud Journey
The winding pathway continues
As my personal doors of perception
Crack open and reveal their news.
They show me patterns of inception,
Fractals of my Self that I choose.
New chapters of life unfold-
They greet me humbly
Misunderstood by most
But they are so sundry
These mysterious stories untold
This time of rising tides
and shifting paradigms
bring along a curious ride
Come along, dont be shy
Its only the Sky
As my personal doors of perception
Crack open and reveal their news.

Fractals of my Self that I choose.

Come along, dont be shy

Reflections
Who do we talk to
When there's no one around to listen?
Who do we hug
When there's no one around to care?
Who do we cry to
When there's no one around to console you?
Who do we see
When we look in the mirror?
When there's no one around to listen?
Who do we hug
When there's no one around to care?
Who do we cry to
When there's no one around to console you?
Who do we see

Crystal Ball
Let's take a trip to a land where nothing matters at all,
I know exactly where it is, and it wont take long
First we'll take a seat upon my flying carpet
We'll soar up to a cloud and even try to touch it!
Upon descending into a wondrous enchanted forest
You'll notice that the trees are unusually enormous,
They are like towers with hundreds of floors!
Smiling happily with branches extended towards us
We'll sit and hear their stories built on ancient lores
Continuing the adventure unfolding before our eyes
We gaze upon the dragons...

Love is Blind
I miss the way she looks at me.. with Unconditional Love in her eyes
I miss the way she floats to sea.. on her beauty and grace, the Flow of her life
The only thing worse than leaving Love behind
is knowing that someday it could have all been fine
But mistakes of ones Ego and hope for new life
Are all thats left of me, All thats left for me
because True Love is blind.
I miss the way we used to smile when we saw each other
It was always so easy when you know theyll be there tomarrow
I miss the way we could be so content ...
