The moon’s glow is now the sparkle in my eye
The sun’s rays are now streaks in my hair
The earth walks with me
The universe resides inside me
And I now feel everything.
The moon’s glow is now the sparkle in my eye
The sun’s rays are now streaks in my hair
The earth walks with me
The universe resides inside me
And I now feel everything.
Words elude me-
They rush to my mind all at once
And turn to smoke when I try to speak.
Even when words stay,
Oh they always seem to fall short.
Never quite the right intensity.
Never quite the right label.
The wave of emotions inside me are crashing
Against the walls of my heart,
While drowning the logic in my mind.
Yet satisfying any thirst I can ever have.
Because to “feel” is often called a curse.
To be moved by everything seems weak.
But, oh “to feel” – to feel is to make sense of the rain without trying.
Your senses merge.
Your feet are now with the sand.
Your hands are now with the wind.
These feelings have a home
And its okay if they stay.
Life, set me free from my thoughts because
my mind is racing, and I am losing.
I can’t find the finish line, even worse, I can’t
go back to the start.
Days are starting to blur.
*****************************
The tree grew and we all knew who he would be.
We knew the fruit it would bare.
We Knew it all.
But we didn’t know the faces of those who sought
its shade.
We didnt know the birds that would land on its branches
Or whose initials were carved in a heart.
Wondrous dirt below me, wash me clean.
Because the ways of the caves
have poisoned the innately good
and have made my memories, slaves.
I think that my emotions sometimes carry me to an undesired place.
And the more I fight to leave,
the further my feet sink into the sand.
Once I build enough strength,
I will pull myself out.
Meanwhile?
I am trying to smell a rose I see in the distance.
Blue sky,
Oh blue sky,
find me because I am lost.
Find me because words elude me right now
and the warm sun is but a memory.
And my memories are fleeting.
If you find me, remind me
that I was once a wild flower
dancing through the sky
with the wind as my guide .
Remind me because I need a familiar
place to land my feet.
Try to retain
innocence in something.
Revert back to the initial excitement
of first encounters.
Try not to let everything that was once
breath-taking,
become everyday air.
Refrain from such expiration
on our thoughts and our emotions.
Let these butterflies
roam and flutter
and reach further corners of our heart and mind
Breathe it in once more
And let it consume you.
Get lost in the familiar.
Red lips stain yours,
your eyes meet mine.
My thoughts are yours,
your intentions are mine.
It’s a late hour.
It’s a dark night. A darker room.
But your warmth is felt.
And it’s the clearest
I’ve ever seen you.
Life rooted in peace yields good fruit.
Take kind words with you everywhere you go.
Let love reign your thoughts.
Let the struggle of your neighbors be yours
Show compassion – you will gain from such exchanges.
Because days are to be thoroughly lived.
Maximizing the seconds of every minute
Feeling each tick and tock.
Love is simple.
People are not.
Situations are clear.
Interpretations are not.
The most complicated, studied, abstract
emotions
feelings
words
are rather simple in nature.
Basic.
We are the ones that add external components
clutter
cloudyness
But if we were to simplify- we’d find an “x”
[(x^3 – y^5)^2]/ z^2 – x^y/ y
we multiply issues
add drama
subtract sense
and we divide people from one another
Remove yourself from the equation
