Growing to Love
I am an old soul, but young at heart. I'm wise, but my wisdom comes from pain, grief, and mistakes I have made.
I have, no doubt, broken the hearts to those who I could have shown more mercy, but I've wounded my own heart too and sometimes I've wondered if it was even beyond repair.
I'm constantly working on myself but I'm a far cry from perfect. I am soft yet strong.
I may not have many on my side but for those I do, I carry the things they told me in confidence, to my grave.
I still hide the parts of me that I'm growing to love, but I'm growing to love more parts of...

Love Breathing
A gnat attracted to the light. A sweet song perishing into the night. A breath of life. Breath is the sweetest perfume. Oh blessed is the fly in the room. A beautiful breathe for me, a beautiful breath you. Love you. Love you. Inhale a a twisting swirling dancing love together. I would love too. I would love too. Kisses in the night teeth softy lightly bites into loves heated neck.
Creating the passion of life. The pleasure of breath. Love is breathing. Don't we love breathing no treasure discovered is more a value of...

This is your life
When such days begin as this,
The mind flits to the night I slept and wonders,
What did I miss?
Alas,
Dreaming is where such stirring starts,
And waking,
Is the chance to act.
That life holds such splendor,
Such wonder,
As when the sun does rise.
It wakes,
As does the thought which stirs us on,
To travel deeper.
Into this endless song.
Look on in wonder,
At how far you've climbed,
At how far you've come,
And take heart,
That living life is art.
And life,
Life is a canvas you can't live over. ...
The mind flits to the night I slept and wonders,
What did I miss?
Alas,
Dreaming is where such stirring starts,
And waking,
Is the chance to act.
That life holds such splendor,
Such wonder,
As when the sun does rise.
It wakes,
As does the thought which stirs us on,
To travel deeper.
Into this endless song.
Look on in wonder,
At how far you've climbed,
At how far you've come,
And take heart,
That living life is art.
And life,
Life is a canvas you can't live over. ...

A New Day
A New Day
I have seen flies shake wings on top of a cistern’s lid
I have broken gossamer looking like an angelic mist
and millions of costly pearls glittering in the field
I have seen delicate green bushes spun by clouds
greeting the dawn, when my dog overawed by this
beauty was silent.
Life has many changes and surprises I look out of
the window in a high-rise flat, I see early morning
cars float on diesel-shining asphalt, killing rainbows
The sun, still beyond the horizon, but lit up the sky

Our Storm
Our love so strong
like two storm's that collide....
our love will take us on a wild ride...
My heart beats so fast
to the beat of the thunder...
I can't escape this spell I'm under...
My love so strong
Like the winds that cry...
Our love will carry far beyond this sky...
Your love so hot
Like lightening that burns...
For your heart I'll always yearn...
Your hold so tight
Like tree roots in the ground...
In my heart you're always found...
I one storm..
And you the other..
All we...
like two storm's that collide....
our love will take us on a wild ride...
My heart beats so fast
to the beat of the thunder...
I can't escape this spell I'm under...
My love so strong
Like the winds that cry...
Our love will carry far beyond this sky...
Your love so hot
Like lightening that burns...
For your heart I'll always yearn...
Your hold so tight
Like tree roots in the ground...
In my heart you're always found...
I one storm..
And you the other..

Sale Never Pending (Loving Thy Neighbor As Thyself)
Its funny isn't it?
Laughing at the helpless, poking bears because you rest assured in the continual response of their sugar glider hearts. So you line the pockets of the rich while people are made to feel helpless and miserable.
You have stolen everything, and you sit in your corner laughing as if they are stupid fools.
A freak show you never want to rise.
But in truth, she and others know the truth.
And the truth is, softness is an undesired response that you hate. Thresholds of your torture are only extended by those totured because truly,...

Tree Grown Crooked
Marked from the swing of an axes blade
Saplings wound bleeds
Dancing with the wind
This maimed and scarred root
The Oak o'r top her children
Under the darkness of the forest
Strong mothers fibers
Courageous the seed
Reaching toward the promise
A tree grown crooked
Leaves birthed green
Saplings wound bleeds
Dancing with the wind
This maimed and scarred root
The Oak o'r top her children
Under the darkness of the forest
Strong mothers fibers
Courageous the seed
Reaching toward the promise
A tree grown crooked
Leaves birthed green

Travail Bebe.
he may contain he,
he contains ME,
2 B he,
Is 2 B ME,
When he,looks inside.
he see's ME,smiling @ he,
But ME,
he see's,
Looking @ he,
ME,won't leave,his mind.
You see ME,
he appears 2 see,
Even as ME,
See's ME,
In time,
he may contain he,
Really ME,
If he,looks inside.
he'll see ME,
Veil of Light,
Hidden in plain sight,
4 he,needs ME,
2 see he,even he,
Cannot deny ME,
my influence,on his mind.

Around The Future
i spent the morning on the mountain, roaming like a drifter searching a new way to chase away my stress, and spill out the bitter spleen in my heart, striding along passing every stone, climbing each rock, hearing every bird sending his complains, filling the dead void with a thousand sighs..
the pine forest lies quite on the steep rocky plain, anchored firmly to a childhood earth, as some joyous robins and goldfinsh broke my thoughts with a twiteer and a gentle birdie scream,
Seemingly, Spring has sped some happy harbingers to hail his coming before due times:locusts...

Seven Times
Their are some that will say
We are heading in a very bad direction
Time for me to pack up
Need to be moving on
Close my eyes
The sun warms my face with reflection
This anger inside
I've got to get it gone
I'm down again
Like the other times before
Little slower, little grayer
With age there's no cure
I'm gonna put an application on the other side of that gate
I've been down seven times
And I'll get up eight
Our Little girl
She got sick...
