Priceless Discovery!
Barely conscious
Or hardly caring which way
I face the World,
I took a border step,
Traveling steadily
Against the furious wind
That was sometimes too strong
And so cold it mumbled my senses
Until I felt myself
Completely turned inside out...
I tried to keep the direction
That I have set for
So that somehow,
I will arrive somewhere
Knowing that this path
I have followed faithfully
Has brought me to a state of mind
Where I have proudly
Become myself...

In The Name Of Love
A river of ice is melting
Deep down- I stir again
I am moved as a stone removed
From a frozen winter bed....
I have seen the light returning
Sparkles from the other side
Make a pavement out of crystal
Drops- to walk across-I would try...
Taking a step-precarious
My feet feel not the way
Yet-I think-If I were worthy...
I could become-as light- a ray...
And blur improbability
Calumny-all the rest
Would sink-except
Faith and our love
Believing-
Miracles possessed...

Often
Often I feel best being
Mostly by myself
Ignoring what I have already seen...
Hiding within my own shell
Like a child playing on a swing
Swaying back and forth
In the natural momentum
Of my own energy,
With a clear mind and a bigger spectrum
Occasionally needing a push-
Or playing with the grass deeply in the bush,
Living within a world of fantasy...
No worrying about what is in the mind of the clergy...
Just enjoying the moment with great ecstasy,
Leaving behind all my nostalgy..

Like A Branded Note
Selflessness is best
But insanity is contagious...
Where friendship disembarks
A whole ship of fools...
Better to jump overboard
Than to cast your lot
Among those whom evil has caught
In dirty pool...
My bay be solitude
Cast off without fortitude
The night remains my harbor friend
Where daytime ceases not to pain...
Wings without feathers cease to flap
Lacking impetus-they waxen flat
A conscience inside a bottle afloat
And my life rolled up
Like a branded note...

A Taste Of Emptiness
Idle within emptiness
Disappointment fills the air
A chilling wind of harshness
Sweeping seasons of despair...
Fingernails bitter purple
A tousle of shredded hair
Weakened limbs and fragile nerves
Dreams strangled to disrepair...
How long 'till the sun comes out?
Forever must still be there
Without the light all things fade
Darkness makes them disappear....
A burning torch within me
Faith, the everlasting flair
Scorching both sense and reason
Too blind to show heaven near...

A Distorted Mirror
The clocks, suddenly have stopped,
My alarm goes off all day,
The world has passed- who could last
With angels for company?
Something's wrong-I don't belong
Does everyone feel this way?
Why people do as I think
And act out all I say?
Is beyond reality
And I am not sure if they're real
Or if I am still in the world
Or ever was-has it changed?
Am I just beginning
To see beyond ignorance?
I think it was meant to be
The impossible-destiny,
A proof of omnipresence...

I Learned Through You
I learned through you,
That in faltering, being caught
By a steady hand
One is fastened, more fixed
To a personal goal.
In choosing to be corrected,
Deferring to superior intellect
One gains the wisdom
After one has learned the lesson.
In humility, consciously
Subordinating the ego
One gains sensitivity
To reception.
Then, in perfection, is
Creativity empowered
A spirit true and unique to itself
Declaring an internal and external

Feeling Hollowed
Idle within emptiness
Disappointment fills the air
A chilling wind of harshness
Sweeping seasons of despair...
Fingernails bitter purple
A tousle of shredded hair
Weakened limbs and fragile nerves

How long 'till the sun comes out?
Forever must still be there
Without the light all things fade
Darkness makes them disappear....
A burning torch within me

Whose Blame Is It?
'Something that you perpetrated,
you blame me for'
'Who says I accept it? it is not pleasant,
We have spoken before..'
With a kiss would you deny me? black and blue
I mend the wounds
How many cuts will convince you
Flesh is not immune?
Has anyone the right to ridicule?
What claim can you make?
Are you invested with power of judgment
That error forsake? ...
Polarities exist between two forces,
Love is but one,
It is not the strain of opposition
But light from the sun...
