Letting Go
Overflowing with anxiety
Concious she needs to settle
Facing a personal crossroad
Her focus, family
Multiple opportunies await
If she unshackles the past
Her reward, eternal memories
Of herself, she must gain control
Putting aside her own ideals
Her opinions locked away
Having faith she's done enough
Anchoring loyalty and trust
She reflects on bygone years
Examining how she behaved
Was she forthright and fair
Or selfish without a care
Tinged with sadness and regret
Ashamed of her...

We’ll Cross That Bridge When We Build It
how do we cross
a burned-out bridge
that’s been washed away
from the middle?
so much water flows beneath,
my feet are wet
so much blood stains the river,
my hands are red
the stacks of wood
stored on both sides
would have made
quick work of small repairs;
but afraid of giving
too much of ourselves,
we refused to share ~
fiercely protecting our pieces
until we fractured,
becoming the sharp...

When I Say Entre Nous
When I say entre nous what I really mean
is, don’t share it with anyone else, I know
it wasn’t the most intimate conversation,
but you and I have been long time friends
but when I heard those same words being fed
back to me from someone else, some two-
hundred miles away, I knew it went through
you, into the ears of person I disliked most
I felt betrayed, how could you break my trust?
Was the gossip too juicy to hold back or too
much for you not to keep on your own, I felt
the weight of my heart ache, but I left it...

New Re-Mix
You know there are teachers out there
Who learn from their students too?
Not many I imagine
But probably a few
I wonder if you have a set routine
When we sit in this lonely room
And how it works for you
And maybe see them bloom
I guess at times it may not always work
Despite your best kept plans and all
How some slip through
No crack too small
But you come back each day
Hang words for them to see
Light from windows seeping in
Minds and hearts – A to Z
And if we ever mix it up
To make...

Dance with me
Dance with me
Drag me to eclipse
Drown in my scent
Drag that tongue across my skin
Screaming the desperation
I’m your everlasting whore
My heartbeat ceased
The end before me
Love the death
Drag me to eclipse
Drown in my scent
Drag that tongue across my skin
Screaming the desperation
I’m your everlasting whore
My heartbeat ceased
The end before me
Love the death

my world/my head
i cannot believe i’ve lost all my senses
darkness covers me i fall underneath
countless broken promises
i tremble i shake i crumble to the floor
from the weight of my mistakes
i hesitate to say i’ve been there before
our future always seemed so bright
living in the dark i feared the light
yet i tried so hard to do her right
the hardest part is not being by her side
she fights the reasons why
she might believe the lies
i always hide and...

THE REAL ENEMIES
DISCOVERY
Some things take longer
than others; this is a truth
that I heard years ago from
my Guru teacher, but now
I have it finally indwelling my soul,
attitude, and behavior. The
realized truth is:
Do not believe there are
enemies outside of your
heart, soul, and spirit.
The real ENEMIES live
deep inside your being.
They ARE:
Jealousy,
Fear,
Anger,
Ego,
Revenge,
Greed,
Hate,
Revenge,
Gossip,
And a failure to love
the unloving and forgive
the offenders.
...

time
i hope you that you could understand
this is not what i had planned
sometimes theres power in pain
and there’s the silence in the rain
i promised you the world again
everything was in my hands
all the love that you could see
it came from me
please don’t worry now
it will all turn around
we now reside on different land
but this much i understand
let’s keep this love alive
we can make it if we try
so say what’s on your mind
cause i don’t know what’s inside
...

Choices
So many choices
So many decisions
So many voices
So many revisions
So many noises
So many opinions
So many rejoices
So many religions
So much heartbreak
So much misery
So much at stake
So much forgotten history
So much more to explore
So much more I implore
So much more to see on this tour
So much more behind the door
So much magic in the air
So much hatred as you stare
So much belief in your prayer
So much love when you care
So many decisions
So many voices
So many revisions
So many noises
So many opinions
So many rejoices
So many religions
So much heartbreak
So much misery
So much at stake
So much forgotten history
So much more to explore
So much more I implore
So much more to see on this tour
So much more behind the door
So much magic in the air
So much hatred as you stare
So much belief in your prayer
So much love when you care

smile
my mind is a battlefield that i surrendered to
because time never healed the wounds
i suppressed and concealed not caused by you
life’s worth of hurt erupting inside of me
i feel my heart corrupting right upon my sleeve thoughts race faster than my own heartbeat
i’ve reached the end of my rope
so i tied it tightly around my throat
closing my eyes and letting go of all my hope
just as everything fades to black
i see you smiling back
the rope it snaps
and i collapse
