To look into ones eyes
is to look at
their soul
The eyes
are soulpools.
Shimmering and deep
The pupil like a tide
Ebbing and flowing with the tug of
the emotion of the heart
That must make your heart like the moon
Sometimes
Full and shining
Other times
Black and seemingly missing
The body is the temple
Made up of earth, water, and air
Within the temple
resides an emotional being
Where there is always a conflict
between right and wrong
Good and Evil
Head vs. heart
The temple envelopes and nurtures
the...

Stripped down and simplified
To the raw and bleeding core
Tired, immoble
Like an over-fattened mule
And so I find myself stuck
Glued to the same old situation
Stagnated with bored indifference
Between my aimless wandering,
and my endless standing still,
You would think I'd know the way by now
Yet I remain here open-eyed
Without what it takes to see
Spinning like a window pane on a string
Trying to capture
the ghost of a reflection
Of life going on all around me.

Open to the possibility that everyone was born with the natural capacity to love...More than just one lover...To open our hearts and minds and souls to any possible connections that can be made.
Not because we're evil or desperate, or broken on the inside. Not because we misunderstood what our feelings were really meaning.
But to immerse ourselves in one of lifes most divine, warm, complex, spiritual, intensely beautiful experiences that we are capable of having as human beings. In this life, in this body, I want to strive to love as much as possible and give my all, my whole being to...

As I slumber
Restlessly dreaming
Images flash
and a message is screaming
Struggle to block
what it keeps repeating
With all of my energy
I keep pleading
Yet the circumstances that be
are defeating
my heart, and the yearning
I need to have meaning
and it strips at my will
Till I'm nearly conceeding
On and on through the night
As Im dreaming
And dreaming

I think I could learn to like
living with this frustrated restlessness
I wonder, can you see it in me?
It's swimming there in the pools
Deep in my eyes
Maybe I'm wrong, but I swear
I seeit in you too
A subtle shifting of thought....
Maybe we all have another idea
hiding behind our best intentions
Please
Try to understand
I want nothing to change
I will break no one
But I feel more alive in your presence
I'm addicted to your smile
And your absence pains me the most
the more I try to ignore it
Just let me be close to you...
