We start from nothing
And spring from dreams
Reaching through dimensions
And time.
I stand like a rock
Rooted to the earth beneath my feet
Know this place
Own this space
Whilst possessing nothing at all
Still I fly
Pondering reality
Dreaming with clarity
Knowing only
Love survives all.

how can she, an artist,
make him, her own artwork
when the art itself
is an artist himself

she could only stand back and watch
as he sculpted his past
and sketched his present

until he reached out to her
with a paint-stained hand,
gestured to the blank canvas
of the future and said,
"would you like to create
a masterpiece with me?"
to wjh-- a fellow artist whom i love.

We're from two different worlds,
You and I.
I desire to reach out,
To touch you -
But my hand is swallowed
In the galaxies between us.
Your eyes are cobalt planets -
Deep emerald waves
Crashing upon their shores.
The smoke curling from your lips
Is dark, dreary:
The forsaken Milky Way.
I watch you,
And I know -
I will never close that space.
There is too much in the way,
Too much noise,
Too many opinions,
Too many disapproving, shaking heads,
And furrowed brows.
Our asymmetries are miles deep,
Coursing through
Your bloodstream,
Coursing through mine.

Happier

when we kissed there was a spark,
you kept my heart calm,
your smile was my art,
i was happier,

wondered about your scar,
i am broken and in parts,
remember when we watched the stars?
i was happier, way back with you,

ain't nobody hurt me like you do,
but i know nobody could love me like you,
promise i won't fade away, not because of you,
if you do find someone new,

because i was happier with you,
your sweet words echoing my mind,
and i will smile to hide all of my pain,
but you don't know that i was happier with only you,

baby, are you happier without me?
does that someone new kiss you like i did?
but if she leaves you like all the others,
just know i am waiting for you to come home to me.


Do not fight with LOVE
It is futile!
Because no victory is ever achieved
By fighting LOVE
Fighting with LOVE is nothing
But a gradual defeat

Accept LOVE
Joyfully, gratefully, gracefully
All that is LOVE, is good
Because LOVE comes from 'being'
LOVE comes from existence
Accept LOVE, accept yourself
Seek out your liberation
And unravel the mystery of LOVE
The possibility of FREEDOM
Grow the wings to FLY

LOVE is a seed of Godliness
It is also door to your inner-self
YOUR SOUL

Don't worry dear
Your not LOVING is not so bad
Simply understand this & realize that
"NOT LOVING" is simply blocking LOVE
Caging YOU, Walling YOU
Be aware of this fact and
Arm yourself with LOVE
