Fighter in Another Life
I’ve got bruises on my knuckles,
The bandages I wrapped my hands with is stained with blood.
My muscles are straining,
My hair is sticking to my head from the sweat.
I’m swaying in exhaustion,
There is music blasting in my ears.
I can feel my bones creak and my heart is pounding,
It’s going 145 and I’m lightheaded.
I’m not the picture of health,
Not the picture of happiness.
I wheeze out a breath,
It clings to my heaving chest.
I drip sweat onto the floor,
My face is hot to the touch.

Skinny Dipping (Part 2)
She comes up, out of the waters.
Dripping dry....even then giving back to the waters.
Her body rises like an aberration.
The moon, her breasts, equal counterparts.
Condensation rests, in the small of her back;
Those droplets still wanting her sway.
Her calves, her hips, they stand firm,
As muscular testaments.
Her lines, her creases, each fold,
She gives of herself;
The naivé, the risqué.
She'll give again,
Of blue lips,
To these wild seas.
A profession of her inner countenance.
A profession to the endless sea. ...

The pursuit of Happiness!
By Stanley Collymore
The road to personal happiness
can sometimes be undeniably
and evidently very perilously
unexpectedly long, irrefutably arduous,
discernibly unpredictable, and actually
rather distinctively accursedly plagued
with numerous difficulties. But clearly
with patience the benefits crucially of
such a journey, literally obviously and
also very irritatingly pockmarked with
numerous, unquestionably obviously
and distinctly, actually unpredictable
difficulties although evidently simply
long,...

Hope
Hope is a beautiful thing
It helps us through the hardest times
It helps to ease the pain
It gives us life
It brings the light
It's what gives us the strength to survive
But than you gave me hope...
Hope is a terrible thing
It can be crushed with just a few words
There is no way to describe how badly hope being crushed hurts
It's like a knife twisting inside of you
the hope spills out with your blood
You try to pull the knife out but the damage is already done
...

If I had it my way
If I had it my way
Certain thoughts would fade
I’d live in a world full of color
I wouldn’t feel under the weather
I’d only taste happiness
No such thing as sadness or emptiness
I wouldn’t dwell on the past
Our mind and body would last
If I had it my way
You would fade
I can’t have it my way
I have to have darkness among the world of color
To taste fear, sadness and anger
Is to feel
I can’t peel my memories away bit by bit
Nor will this pit heal fast
Ay the past hurts
The memories burn ...

Heart once shattered
I talked to you again
For the first time in months
I asked you how you've been
I enjoyed catching up
You told me you're glad I'm happy
You said that's all that matters
I so badly wanted to tell you how much I miss you
But I couldn't
I want to tell you I love you
But I shouldn't
You said that my happiness is all that matters
If you truly felt that way
why is my heart shattered?
I'm trying to understand why suddenly I matter
When you didn't even flinch as my heart shattered
How am I...

Body Work
the scent of sage
leaves enchant
my room while
shamanic beats
& sound bowls
calm my body
feels like i'm in
a tibetan temple
She works her
magic energy
transmissions
chakras open
vibrations flow
crown to pelvis
deeply feels like
i'm coming home ...

The Promise
You always hide your scars
You feel ugly inside
Within the smile on your lips
There's a sadness that's belied
What's beneath the surface
You keep hidden away
Always wearing a mask
As you go throughout your day
The person that others know
It isn't you at all
Nothing but a big display
When in truth you feel small
The more people around you
The more alone you feel
They can't understand
That this you isn't real
Inside of your silence
Is where you find peace...
You feel ugly inside
Within the smile on your lips
There's a sadness that's belied
What's beneath the surface
You keep hidden away
Always wearing a mask
As you go throughout your day
The person that others know
It isn't you at all
Nothing but a big display
When in truth you feel small
The more people around you
The more alone you feel
They can't understand
That this you isn't real
Inside of your silence
Is where you find peace...

Falling for you is like a zip line over Niagara
It was fucking pouring
when I stepped up
to the Niagara Falls zipline,
200 feet in the air.
But there was no lighting
so the ride was open
with a short,
short line
and I felt
like flying
The kid in braces
locked my carabiners
to the doo-hickey that would
hopefully hold my wet ass
in the air for the
next 60 seconds
and he told me to lean back
into the harness
and starfish
Fuck? What? Say what?

I Wish
I wish
I could into a deep blue sea dive
Have the flowing flood of tears subside
Let my smile surface and revive
And my woes would ever cease to survive..
I wish
I could the highest of mountains mount
And from its very summit
I would see with no doubt
How tiny my tribulations and vain to wane about..
I wish
I could widely fly
Reach the heart of the sky
And how light I am I would realise
Having dropped the heaviest of burdens so far..
I wish
I...

What is
Eternity
But the
Disruption
Of all
I’ve worked
So long
In vain
For?
