looking out my bedroom window
heart ablaze and unrefined
the tingle of my numbness
slowly flees and frees my mind

the golden hues of your love
stained the clouds of my demise
i wash them clean with fervor
as they flood across the skies

glowing embers of salvation
steal through the bank of fog
that has settled on my heart
to veil the endless stars

let the flowing darkness swallow
poisoned feelings i hold dear
purify my inner world
i know there's none to fear

and when I rise tomorrow
the lighter I will be
with you no longer dragging
behind my eager heels

Carnations are red
Violets are blue
I’m a rainbow kid
Hope you are one too.

Beware Of Snakes (Redo)

Beware Of Snakes (Redo)

FEAR is a species of poisonous snake
One bite and you lose connection to trust.

Antidote:  Deep breath to connect to heart.

**
DOUBT it is like a venomous snake.
its poison spreads quickly.

Antidote: Affirmations of self love everyday.

*
EGO is a snake that lies deep within
One bite and you spiral into endless chatter.

Antidote:  connecting to move inside heart.

*
HATE is a deadly snake that bites with fake news rhetoric
One bite and one is left with separation of fellow man

Antidote: spread the love in deeds and voice.

***

JUDGEMENT is a snake virulent with venom that burns.
One bite and it travels deep attacking good thoughts.

Antidote  Reprograming of mind to connect to God within.

inspired by Aprillia Many thanks

Venomous snake is
fear, doubt, Ego, Hate, judgments,
Antidote...the heart

People and Religion

all religions share similar values:

piety
a stable family
prosperity

why, then, are many believers hostile to followers of other religions?

Today is a good day.
God bless you.

SPIRIT OF THE FIGHTER

SPIRIT OF THE FIGHTER

don't care about jealousy
don't care about envy
don't scare if they attack you
don't attack others without a reason

listen to your inner voice
listen to your needs:
follow your longing
(don't) think about gender
sweetie / my man:

get what you need

that's the true spirit of a fighter:

to accept yourself
to fulfill your wants

THEY are going to help every addict:

God loves every-body. This higher power is there for all of us. Not against us.

Today is a good day.

January 11th, 2020

many of us know this date
many of us probably dislike it because...

good words, likes and hearts were deleted.
so i disliked january 11th until i figured that
god (others tend to call it "karma", "fate"
or "the cosm") is testing me.

every trial strengthens the
spirit of a fighter.

I do thank you God.
Today is a good day.

blue

that girl with blue eyes
ice-cold rays of rising flames
how gentle they seemed

those darkened clouds cried
and im a fool
for thinking the tears were real

Life and Poetry

Poems can have rules
Theres a system to writing
But life is messy

                                             It will happen
                          anywhere
.be opposite of the expected linE
mAkEnOSEnsE

But you know what...
Its growing on me

I enjoyed this one alot. Life is so hard, but its how an action can have 7 diffrent meanings to 7 diffrent people the depth of just the most basic things. How It can be so hard to say whats wrong whats right, how you can feel so conflicted. Hate someone but understand where there coming from. Its life. And i see that all this chaos, its why its soooo spectacularly beautiful when you see and feel love. Enjoy the company of a friend, the love of couples, of family. When people forgive. Idk you probably get it. This worlds insane,dark,horrible,cruel. but i can see now that, even while these may be true... its still beautiful.
