Excerps
alone in my loneliness
I breath
cocooned in my aloneness
an amoeba floating
on a galaxy of silence
I breath
cocooned in my aloneness
an amoeba floating
on a galaxy of silence

What I have learned
of Friends or frenemies
depends solely on actions
A friend does not manipulate emotion
to mental detriment
for personal reasons;
nor entertain rumors
or fans discordant flames;
but, listens instead—
offers alternate perspectives
creating space
for peace to breathe
Think about it this way. . .

Did you see what s/he wrote?!
Like, OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just KNOW it was about YOU
or, ME(ALL ABOUT MEEEEE)!
Or US! ...

Where dark lies
Where dark lies
I have gone so far
down at times that
despair has become
my focus and death
has looked like
paradise.
Why am I still
here? Because
I stared death
in its face and
met the challenge
it represented.
Knowing myself
was the challenge
and I realised in
the mirror was
myself looking back.
Overcoming me took
me to realise that
stopping me from
jumping into an
abyss only took
me.

Game of Love
Love is a game
We hold back pieces
To seem a mystery
We play the game
It's not about winning
or losing
It's about getting
Into the Woman's
Heart and Soul!

Phase Shifting
I don't know a lot but I question the universe
Everything between alpha and omega, is it a script, should I rehearse
I ask myself questions that concern I Is Me
I really want to know what is and isn't energy
There is no doubt that lightning and the Aurora borealis are energy sources
Iceland has found ways to use it's thermal forces
All around Holland, they have learned to use the wind
The sun has proven that fossil fuels are never needed again
But what is life, this grabs at our brain
Could it be as simple as energy contained ...

In The Shadows...
I come to you only in whispers,
In shadows,
Once everyone has left the show -
Where chairs lay upon tables.
Only when the moon is glowing,
Am I showing -
Myself to you...
Allowing you in -
Where secrets hide.
In shadows,

Being
What does it mean to be beings that are being?
Can a being be being if it’s not being a being?
What IS a being? What IS being?
Are we all beings being? Or are some not so being?
Are we always being being?
Or are we never being being?
To being? Or not to being?
Is what a being being being would say ✨

knee-jerk forgiveness
brushes angry child aside
shadow, shunned again

A Rose By Any Oher Name Is... Me
A sacred rose laying within Mother Nature’s bed
Coating of its beautiful hues by the blessing of the sun
Let the voice of love speak when given from the nurtured soil of its originality
Sacrosanct roots pampered in solitude within the depth of the universe
Mm.. as a handsome Gardner with his strong robust hands tills its creation into perfection
Cultivating the need to be vased to show the world the wonders to flourish
Enriching minds to adorn in the awaken reality upon being tenderly plucked
My petals of love may I softly spread unto humanity
Coating of its beautiful hues by the blessing of the sun
Let the voice of love speak when given from the nurtured soil of its originality
Sacrosanct roots pampered in solitude within the depth of the universe
Mm.. as a handsome Gardner with his strong robust hands tills its creation into perfection
Cultivating the need to be vased to show the world the wonders to flourish
Enriching minds to adorn in the awaken reality upon being tenderly plucked
My petals of love may I softly spread unto humanity

Shadow Love
Its deep within this dark creature
that I find beauty
Shes always moving about
gracefully yet swiftly
not a care in her world
She is my hero
This dark being holds those close to her
never letting go
she is humble and asks for nothing
if you are lucky to catch this whisper silent creature
her embrace will calm your heart forever
She is my Shadow, and I love her...
that I find beauty
Shes always moving about
gracefully yet swiftly
not a care in her world
She is my hero
This dark being holds those close to her
never letting go
she is humble and asks for nothing
if you are lucky to catch this whisper silent creature
her embrace will calm your heart forever
She is my Shadow, and I love her...

Naked Swallows
Like naked Swallows
this is how I was born
leaves are our only cover
in the lemongrass
and no need for armor
abandoning the heirlooms
and the ignorance of man
now stripped of my veil
nothing else to reveal
for the love of you
and naked kisses
in the lemongrass
this is how I was born

and no need for armor

in the lemongrass
