Shockwaves of the Heart
Landscape around me beautiful
In it’s painful demise
The world crumbling all around me
Saying it’s goodbyes
The pain in this chest too real
To be anything less than
Oh the sorrow I feel
For losing what could have been
Never one to run
Always stand my ground
The same ground that crumbles
Around my feet this moment
Watching you walk away
Knowing it was the right move
As my heart breaks over and over
At the thought of your absence
But when I open my eyes
The scenery is so serene
And love’s melody
Flits...
In it’s painful demise
The world crumbling all around me
Saying it’s goodbyes
The pain in this chest too real
To be anything less than
Oh the sorrow I feel
For losing what could have been
Never one to run
Always stand my ground
The same ground that crumbles
Around my feet this moment
Watching you walk away
Knowing it was the right move
As my heart breaks over and over
At the thought of your absence
But when I open my eyes
The scenery is so serene
And love’s melody
Flits...

Geometric Lessons
We gaze into each other’s eyes
Melding into one
Dancing back and forth flirting with union
Created by the softening of our eyes
A tree expands as DNA strands flit into existence
Those eyes so bright boring into me
As I look upon this Sacred Geometry
Flowers blooming you now such a beautiful hue
The smiling face behind the mask of eternity
Beautiful colors jumping out bring tears to my eyes
Transitioning into your beautiful Spiral
Leading down to my very innermost being
Celebrating all that was and all that is and all that will ever...
Melding into one
Dancing back and forth flirting with union
Created by the softening of our eyes
A tree expands as DNA strands flit into existence
Those eyes so bright boring into me
As I look upon this Sacred Geometry
Flowers blooming you now such a beautiful hue

Beautiful colors jumping out bring tears to my eyes

Soothing Scars
Clouding my mind and filling my soul
Confusing the moment of inception
Strains the first time we spoke
Filled with trepidation and wonder
Yet never wanting to push my luck
Bringing euphoria to this mortal coil
Flapping in the wind so aimlessly
Like a white flag in this beach sand
Until the moment our eyes first met
I had no notion of spiritual bliss
Lyrical melodies of promise
Methodical prodding’s of a future
Enfolding me in complete wonder
Soothing the scars of my soul
Answering the question I have thought
A million...
Confusing the moment of inception
Strains the first time we spoke
Filled with trepidation and wonder
Yet never wanting to push my luck

I had no notion of spiritual bliss
Lyrical melodies of promise
Methodical prodding’s of a future
Enfolding me in complete wonder
Soothing the scars of my soul

From Afar
The kindness you have shown me
Lifts this tattered soul
Like a sail feeling the air for the first time
I feel the breeze when your words reach me
The direction of my sails have forever changed
The possibilities that have formed internally
Of a life where we have a chance to be
Something more than can ever be
Yet creeps into the motion pictures
Of my mind
Scenes of hands held and shared secrets
Running in the rain and laughter raised
Feeling that soft hair on my chest
As we entertain our restless minds
With songs and movies...

Stairway of Illusion
Blocking the path leading to divinity
Lies a woman barring passage
To passersby, this one included
Seemingly flirtatious
Undeniable in appeal
This journey fraught with distraction
As experience has shown
Time and time again
Same story, same journey
Enlightenment barred
By worldly desires
This mortal coil
Ever climbing
Clawing up this barriered path
Leading into eternity
Unforgiving corners at every step
Deciding to find a way past
This stiletto distraction
And continue to ascend
Until this...
Lies a woman barring passage

Battle of the Spark
There is a tingling in this body
One that I am unfamiliar with
The joy of the acceptance that has been
Bestowed upon this unfortunate soul
A faint little sparkle contrasting most decadently
Against the void that surrounds it
Yet it holds its own
This fierce little warrior
Radiating strength
Reshaping the innards of the mortal coil
That so desperately wants to believe
To just believe
That this little spark exists
Yet doesn't want to get his hopes up too high
Unsure of whether there is a shoe just waiting to drop
Like...

Sun's Mirror
The Sun was beating down on me
As fierce as ever black as the night
Creating a void inside of my soul
I look down and see the shadow
Of the person that I once was
Trying to escape those black rays
Beating down so mercilessly
Onto the back of this xenophobe
As people smile and wave in my direction
I can see the distrust in their eyes
Knowing that I am other that I don't belong
With my mask painted firmly in place I wave
And let them meet know that I mean no harm
What is this life when you have seen death so many times
First...
As fierce as ever black as the night
Creating a void inside of my soul
I look down and see the shadow
Of the person that I once was
Trying to escape those black rays
Beating down so mercilessly
Onto the back of this xenophobe
As people smile and wave in my direction
I can see the distrust in their eyes
Knowing that I am other that I don't belong
With my mask painted firmly in place I wave
And let them meet know that I mean no harm
What is this life when you have seen death so many times
First...

Oil Spill
These voices nitpick at every action I take
Noticing all the imperfections
Noticing all the slights
All the foe paus that I commit on a daily basis
Knowing that I will never be good enough
Words sliding down my cerebral membrane
Clogging any goodness that I have previously seen in myself
Oily in texture filling the gaps of my understanding of why
It’s black as night I see everything and know that
Everyone would be more comfortable were I not there
I don't value the pity that spits in my face
Like a jealous lover that has caught me...
Noticing all the imperfections

All the foe paus that I commit on a daily basis

Voice of The Ash
Dung is more worthwhile than this soul
That after it is buried will produce fallow soil
The bugs won’t eat because I have no taste
The ground won’t accept what doesn’t belong
Interred as it were, I will not rest at all
Tormented by my unjust existence
Each beat of this heart fills me with pain
I can’t stand another round
This blood is not meant for living
It is meant to spill on the ground
To be mopped up and washed away
Like it never existed at all
Burn me and burn it all
May I ever cease to exist
To offend those around me...
That after it is buried will produce fallow soil
The bugs won’t eat because I have no taste
The ground won’t accept what doesn’t belong
Interred as it were, I will not rest at all
Tormented by my unjust existence
Each beat of this heart fills me with pain
I can’t stand another round
This blood is not meant for living
It is meant to spill on the ground
To be mopped up and washed away
Like it never existed at all
Burn me and burn it all
May I ever cease to exist

Void Gazing
I stare off into the void
It always seems to find me
As I stand at the edge
And wonder if this will be
The last time I see this side
Of the world that hates me so
I put on my mask, and smile a bit
Assuring people that I am okay
I smile and it hurts my soul
To know that I don’t want to be here
These people are so kind to me
I don’t deserve this, I’m not okay
My confusion is deafening
As I listen to the voice telling me
That they will never love me
They will never accept me
That all of this is just an illusion ...
It always seems to find me
As I stand at the edge
And wonder if this will be
The last time I see this side
Of the world that hates me so
I put on my mask, and smile a bit
Assuring people that I am okay
I smile and it hurts my soul
To know that I don’t want to be here
These people are so kind to me
I don’t deserve this, I’m not okay
My confusion is deafening
As I listen to the voice telling me
That they will never love me
They will never accept me
That all of this is just an illusion ...

Do I Make A Sound?
There must have been 100 times that I wanted to call
Yet only sat here silently looking at my phone
There must have been 1000 times that I wanted to talk
Only to have pride take its full stock
But I'm standing right here, and you never see me
And I'm speaking these words and you never hear me
Is it any wonder that I don't see me?
Is there any wonder that I don't hear me?
Looking back in anger only makes me raw
Looking back in sadness I start to cry
Looking back in happiness feels like a lie
Looking back in sorrow until part of...
Yet only sat here silently looking at my phone
There must have been 1000 times that I wanted to talk
Only to have pride take its full stock
But I'm standing right here, and you never see me
And I'm speaking these words and you never hear me
Is it any wonder that I don't see me?
Is there any wonder that I don't hear me?
Looking back in anger only makes me raw
Looking back in sadness I start to cry
Looking back in happiness feels like a lie
Looking back in sorrow until part of...

Realizing Self
What can be more powerful than realizing self
is it more powerful to be pulled from a shelf
or to pull yourself out by your own means
and two understand what this book cleans
As I pull myself out and dust myself off
dust mingles with mucus as I begin to cough
my eyes start watering as I opened the book
just a little peek just a little look
I don't quite understand what I am trying to say
as I continue to read every single day
There is no warmth except from my hand
As my mind travels to distant land
Maybe I'll understand in the next...
