Who Am I
Who am I?
I am human with emotions and feelings
Frail, imperfect, flawed and vulnerable
I am a pendulum swaying constantly from one emotional state to another
But most of the time I am calm like a still water
I have a curious mind that led me to discover things on my own
As a child I grew up protected and loved
Never had a wide circle of friends
The most number of friends I had was two
And even then I experienced being misunderstood but that did not stop me from reaching out.

The Concept of the Sunset
How do we define the self?
Think of it as a sunset.
The sunset has a definition. Most words do.
‘sunset’ has three definitions. We’ll be discussing the third one.
“The time in the evening at which the sun begins to fall below the horizon.”
There is a past, present and future within this sentence.
What do you think of when you think of the sunset?
That! is the concept of the self.
There are millions of sunsets
Every day
For millions of years.
There is a sunset at noon at one locale and it is three in the morning another...

Single Me
I am SINGLE me just I not we
How could it be, that the 2 of us together…day in day out… you know extremely close at night, wake to the dawn to always say
I AM SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE
When I am out to dinner with that man, the one I wish was more than a friend… the bill comes and the conversation ends…. DAMN
I AM REALLY SINGLE JUST I NOT WE
It never fails when I walk in the club, like it needs to be announced “I Yell”
I AM SINGLE ME JUST I NOT WE
Then I meet that man through the smoke and dark thinking I am seeing...

about everything
He was lying on the door in front of me
You know when you're impossible
to leave
I remember a child in the water, I
remember the world on fire
I came out of it, it was hot all summer
I have reached this point
I had reached this point
Hurricane, the black, the quiet sea
They ran away from me and fled
We have friends in cute houses, we
have kids in the woods
Right now I have nothing but the sun ...

Where Souls Suffer Heartbreak
Come, Soul of mine, again to me,
Remain close and stir not from my embrace,
Not all Darkness is for us to love,
Though it hurts to release it,
It can only hurt worse to love it longer.
In time you will see this Darkness loves its own,
And has chosen so many others, time and again,
It is not healing it comes seeking,
It is not love it is truly needing,
Simply occupation by something it has found fascinating.
Be still, gentle beloved, now with me,
In this, you must trust that I know best,
There is good reason you and I are...
Remain close and stir not from my embrace,
Not all Darkness is for us to love,
Though it hurts to release it,
It can only hurt worse to love it longer.
In time you will see this Darkness loves its own,
And has chosen so many others, time and again,
It is not healing it comes seeking,
It is not love it is truly needing,
Simply occupation by something it has found fascinating.
Be still, gentle beloved, now with me,
In this, you must trust that I know best,
There is good reason you and I are...

TREADING LIGHTLY UPON THE EARTH
I tread most lightly on the Earth
when, naked as on day of birth,
I walk on the sands of a beach
that is to clothed folk out of reach.
The sand is soft beneath my feet,
and hot where tide has yet to meet.
The sun shines agreeably warm
upon my full bare bodied form.
Battles of life I leave behind,
a peace with the Earth I do find.
Like arms and armour I have laid
down my kit (in bag in the shade)
to proclaim that I come in peace.
Contest with elements I cease;
to nature's hands I give myself,
thankful for my...

A Hug ~
A hug.
Firstly,
It is a foolish thing,
Like the residue of youthful dreams.
The polaroids you’ve seemed to keep,
Of friends with you on the swings.
That family, whom every week,
Brought your favourite,
Blueberry ice cream.
These childish little,
Pieces of bliss.
These broken, long-lost
Promises.
*
*
But,
Foolish things,
Never seem to leave us,
I believe.

Like a lone castaway,
The child will become afraid,
