The walls
plastered with
photos of 'our time'.

No sudden moves
and a need to sleep,

all *******
in twisted sheets.

There is
some kind of
Voodoo in the air,

yes there is,
and it's got me good.

I smile and say
"I love you"
but you don't care,
no, not like I think you should.

You came to me
without a label,

I pried you open
expecting something sweet,
only to behold a can of worms.

Addicts
swimming
around in the sea,
whispering
                "Hook me, hook me".

Good-bye,
so long,
solo I fly and
when I'm gone,
no need to look back
or ask myself why.

I have more power
than that crazy old Boogie-Man,
you see, I made him up,
he's in my mind.

A figment of my imagination.

As useless
as **** on a bull,
looking
none the worse
for wear and tear.

In the end
it is what you are
that determines
what you will heal,

You have to locate
yourself before
it's really real.

My cursed heart,
Only longs to be loved.
By people worth Loving.

I have left my known path
that is only for mine
where there is my love
there are too many dreams
but I have to go
and I am going,
going towards the new destiny

I am handed over
all my dreams to you,
my love
my undone jobs to you
cause you have dreamed me again
when I have almost forgotten my dreams

Even when I am going,
where there I am bound to go,
going to far away from my dreams
far away from you,
my love

I know it will not create a wall
between my will and my dreams
between you and me
I am tired too tired to think
about those dialectics thoughts

I know you love me more
than as much as I love you
I have left my love for you
and I think you will keep it
as it's yours only for yours

I am going,
where there I am bound to go
going to far away from my dreams
far away from you,
my love

But one day I will return
return as air and will be blown
through your long hair
blown as the murmur of wind
through the fairy Autumn

I will return as the morning robin
and will be playing with you,
beside your window
you will be awaken
with my song of spring
and I will see your eyes,
your lips, your smiles
those will be remain same
as I ever wish to claim
and I will wish to return
my love again from you,
my love--
handed over love forever- I will return

I pulled away from beauty
unworthy

And beauty gently smiled
seeing its own reflection

It's been a while now since,
Whatever we are whenever we are together,
Disappeared, again.
There are no side things this time.
No plan B.
My life is a lot more empty, yes,
indeed.

It's not that complicated,
though my cursed mind must make it so,
It's easy now, being numb, being blank,
Like exhaling after a long deep breath,
at some point it feels like you are drowning underneath
a dry vacuum and still you keep releasing,
'till you don't feel anything
at all.
Tabula Rasa,
baby boo dearest,
how slowly you made me fall.
To a blank slate,
Rising up upon my former fate,
like a black curtain call.
Blissful. No.
Comfortable like,
going back into the womb,
surrounded, worriless,
in a fetal state.
Thank you for everything,
I said.
Not replying,
Was simply your colored place.

i never knew a love like this
to hold you skin to skin
heart to heart

i can feel your breath
against my chest
and feel your warmth

i feel my heart expanding
to love so fully and completely
without expectations

i am so grateful for meeting you
heart to heart
I wrote this while holding my sleeping my daughter against my chest, but also a poem to describe my experience of divine love through loving others.

The universe spoke and with but
A single word
A hundred thousand suns
Went nova in
Madness,
Derangement,
Insanity
Had gripped these beacons
Of light,  
Where there was life abundant
Vaporised,
As this giver took what was given,
From light became frenzied
As it consumed upon its self,
Light,
Darkness,
Nothing ness
Was the awakening from
"This single spoken word"
Where it burned bright
It was a black all consuming
Entity,
Nothing would escape its hunger
For all that was
Was not,
And the universe got darker ,
The universe had spoken
E
T
R
N
I
T
Y
Is over,
What was, is not, and the givers now
Took what was given in rage,
They were the darkness the universe
Kept at bay,
But eternity was dyeing
And the solar systems
Were ripped a sunder,
For the universe had only spoken once
And the big bang came forth,
Its words back then
"Eternity lives"
And life flourished,
But nothing lasts forever
Not even eternity,
So the universe had spoken a truth,
But drove those celestial beings
To madness, for they would
Live,
Die,
Reborn
Was the circle, but now the circle crumbled
Death was awaiting them
In defiance
They
"Extinguished the light"
But this was just the beginning
As the word spread
Darkness,
Blossomed,
Spawning
The truth, this is when eternity dies,
Life was a flame now extinguished,
Now that eternity is dead
And the universe turned cold
  All was as it was before once again waiting for a **word..

You don't see me
"Self
"Harm"
I'm cutting  
"From"
"The"
"Inside"
I don't bleed out,
I bleed within,
Scars never seen
But the pain is always real,
And felt **everyday..

DC raw love
Because of my life
From my feelings within

It's not about thoughts
It's what's in my heart

When I bleed from within
Its from my past

But its not my last journey
So I keep my life real

I will always feel
The feelings I never felt
The feelings that are so real

My love for life
Is no longer surreal

My blessings in life
Are very real

I live to help others
Its what i do best

I've learned these things
From my terrible past

I've learned to hide my depression
so no one will know
learning to hide my agression
I can't let it show
swallow my pride
all to protect
who I am inside
I've got it down to a science
never told a soul
until my heart showed defiance
I fell for you
I let my guard down
but you weren't true
you've hurt me
I gave you everything
but it wasn't meant to be
and as I sit here all alone
I realize the truth really does hurt  
now my cover has been blown

You've taken my soul.
Cut it from the seams.
An empty vessel,
Floating on a stream.
