Words are powerful
Remember they are gateways to delusions
And are figments of the imagination
Sometimes used to hurt, sometimes used to heal
See the difference between love and hate,
Right and wrong
Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes
Take this moment to reflect
Forget what has happened
Because what matters is what has not been
What will you do in your life so great?
Be the change you want to see take place
And do not forget time is in a race
You are the victim until you accept it won’t last forever
Your being will die never,
But your body will eventually vanish
Leave the world with a feeling of content,
While others see your life as a time well spent
Most of all remember that you do not have a life
YOU are Life

Unexpected
When the plague hit
The day you fell into my lap
At around 5 p.m.
It was only me and you
And it shows...
Traumatizing everything in its past
As we danced in the rain,
The conclusion came clear that
We had no reasons
What made you strong used itself against you
You are my favorite weakness,
A beautiful weakness
But this spring the butterfly
Does not come out of its cocoon
Instead I picked you up like a little string
We are what no scientist could ever justify
We knocked down buildings with our smiles
We had each other the way it should be
And now your church is burning down
Both divinely and mysteriously
Like all the words that found its way
From no where right into you
Making its way into eternity
We could not explain it to anyone
And why should we?
We found each other
Through what is called the core of one another
And I kept you in my back pocket
Through the times that we
Burned bridges with our charm
We learned what no history book could ever teach
Everything we touched turned to gold
Leaving a little permanence

Sometimes I feel that we should have never crossed
Other times, I feel like you're exactly what I need
It feels like we are always denying each other and looking for each other
Can it be possible that we hurt without one another? I do..
Do you feel the same as me?
Maybe it's just a feeling inside me
Or maybe it hurts because it is what is meant to be
It would not feel this lonely if it never was meant to be something

When you are in my presence
I smile
Because there is no yesterday or tomorrow
And when we meet
Rivers flow joyfully
Waterfalls gently pour
Angels sing
Hate finds love
Universes are born

Then I wonder:
If you could only see
How much I need you near me
How much we are the same
How much I feel your pain
How much I love you
How much I want you
And for you to want me
If only you could see
What is meant to be
What I am trying to reach
What is most important to me
If only you knew
When I need you the most,
Who I want close
Why it's you I chose
If only I knew
Where you are
If only you could feel
Where I keep you
My mind, heart, and soul still yearns for you
Come back home

Dreaming of a new place
Far away from where I reside
Dominated by love
A population of people
Living alongside God,
I see the very essence within us all
The only thing that has ever separated us
Is the suit we wear and we are that space
That is between you from me

People watch the speed of light
And listen to the race of sounds
Self-created pain rests in another dimension
The lands are shared by those who inhabit it

I rest my little body on a flower petal
Sink myself into pollen
Imagining the realization that peace and Heaven are merged in me
The cloud above me patiently lives its life
And will soon let me swallow it when I am thirsty

I am the salt of the earth; preserving my world from putrefaction
Though my failing health deteriorates my body
Imagination emerges and is more real than reality

The bird flew down south from the lonely winter
and whistled life and love just to himself
and only he could hear, but he knew that
faith would take him to his destination

With time and concentration
came a direction in the form of
love, another bird, just like him
said, "Follow me..
We could find a home together"

Two free birds flew side by side,
trusting that the worst had come,
but just as he saw her just as frightened,
he then realized, with tremendous joy,
that he had already found home.

And as she turned to look at him,
He whistled a thank you, and communicated,
"I have found home. We have found a home.
We have found a home in each other."

To think about you, I remind myself of a time when I promised that life was mysterious and full of surprises. That the world is beautiful, and within the depths of life lies a gorgeous secret. My memories seem to fade in and out of the truth I have always known. A truth be known that there is something special, and someone special. A magic that is so undeniably sacred to those who see it. There was a time when I was lost in what seemed like an illusion that was limitless. When you were found, or rather, when you found me, it was as though you were always there waiting to appear at the right time. And what you did was grow with me into a life I have never lived before. I never lose you. We are forever. You are the sun that sets, but also rises again.


I began with a dream that was real only within me. Life was all the dream. Looking at the dark limitless sky, the melody played the moon and stars all around.
