From afar
Can I love you, without you being near? Without feeling pain or fear? I think I can, let’s try and see. Always fighting for your attention, I never seemed to learn my lesson. Staying close filled with pain, left me with nothing to show, no gain. So I stepped back and took a bow. Thinking Continue reading

Why, I survived
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder why, I do these things, and let you get by. Under my skin, buried within, where the torment will never end. I gave you my heart and your tore it asunder, making sure I knew I’d made a grievous blunder. Leaving me broken, I could not help but wonder. Continue reading

Meditate
“Only a joyful, open mind and attitude, always sustaining you.” – Atisha I’ve settled down to a still place, trying to make my heart not race. I need some peace and quiet here. Cities hustle I cannot hear. I close my eyes and take a breath. What I find makes me perplexed. Calmness spreads as Continue reading

Art
Some see beauty in canvas art, paintings that speak from the heart. Others see it in marble or stone. Carving it until wonders are shone. Still others see it a different way, in how the written word on paper plays. Dancing through times unknown, keeping records of great renown. Stories and songs, poems and tales. Continue reading

I know more than I see. I see more than I show. Don’t lie to me, for I will always know. You set yourself up for failure, when you try to hide the truth. For the secrets in your eyes, I can read like a book. All I have to do, is take a little Continue reading

Alone
I lay here in the dark. Loneliness deep within my heart. I’ve tried to make it through the day. I’ve tried to laugh and play. No matter what I do, I have to be just fine. I cannot make a sound, I cannot speak my mind. I have bills to pay. Things to do. Responsibilities Continue reading

Drift away
Close your eyes and drift away, unto the places where the stars play. All the darkness is held at bay, in the high places for the day. Fly up high among the stars, see them come so very far. Watch them go on their journey, wishing one could tag along. Skate along the milky way, Continue reading

Lost freedom
On this day we joyfully play. We laugh, we sing, we shout hooray. But the way we do thing in this time, the ones who gave us freedom, would see a crime. They fought against unfair the unfair things. Said we need not listen to kings. They bravely sought to fly with eagles wings. No Continue reading

Tired
I’m tired of the daily struggle the way, the way life tries to burst my bubble. That I feel all these things, my trying torment brings. Of promises made yet broken quickly, of the truths I’ve shared, and how little others cared. As they spread my secrets far and wide. Leaving nowhere for me to Continue reading
