even
destruction, chaos and disorder
have their place in the universe
given
sun’s distant cousins had to die in order
to make way for our birth
but he continues to burn
and continues to love
without asking for anything in return
so what if this life
is empty and meaningless
would that really be ‘bad’
as we’re inclined to think it is?
doesn’t all our pain seem to
result from attaching meaning
to meaningless things?
when we dream, no matter
how ludicrous and looney
things can be we still get
duped by the convincing feel
elephants may fly, dogs may
talk, we can walk on water,
every scientific law may
be broken yet we think it’s real
until that moment
when we wake up….
would it really be
more daunting
then enlightening
if we were to wake up
from this dream
that we call life?
i want to write you
a corny poem
and recite it to you
before the morning comes
because you’re so special
and i’m so blessed to have met you
i know i don’t have to
but i want to impress you
hold you and caress you
love you and protect you
do my best
to never disrespect you
to never neglect you
because my heart
has embraced you
you were a tourist
then you were granted
a passport to be a resident
but now you’ve been elected
to be the vice president
you’re the V.P. of my <3
don’t allow fear to dictate the decisions that you move with
if you feel challenged and it frightens you, you have to DO IT.
widen your awareness to dimensions you’ve never went to before
never settle, when you do, you get less than what you settled for
immerse yourself in your values and invest in the work
who you are, what you want and put yourself first
open your heart, forgive and set a positive example
come to realize that there is nothing that you can’t handle
observe all the ways that your attention is spent
and give whatever you’re doing now your 100%
if you’re not getting results, take a breath and stop
doing what you’ve always done will only give you what you’ve always got
watch your thoughts, feel what you’re needing and reduce the stress
relax into the realization that you are the only person responsible for your happiness
go on an adeventure, challenge yourself and have fun
move on, move forward, and after what you want
stay focused, the results are for you to create
if it’s not working, go about it in a different way
don’t resort to mind games or maintain an ego to protect
cut through the onions and be clear and direct
time is precious even if it appears to be moving slow
stand up to the negativity and say “no”
do what matters the most, the most exclusive
just do it like nike, and don’t make excuses
stop blaming… the victim mentality is destructive
monitor what you put into your brain, negativity can be seductive
bring awareness into the moment, realize you always have the right to choose
allow yourself to live with integrity, decide and do what feels right to you
give yourself room to fail because there’s only learning and growth
failure is merely be feedback if you dress him in different clothes
control is an illusion, allow life to happen as it does
surrender it all your problems and watch the fog clear up
unable to find the light
to battle the confusion
fragments of the mind
long to discover
magical solutions
while blood is drastically cooking
in the boiling waters of tragic delusions
sparks fly aimlessly across the sky
in the dark night lost in spite
feel as if I lost this fight
but won’t walk in fright
attempting to mold this ice
in hopes of coping right
while withstanding explosive strikes
instead just keep on holding tight
locus is not defined so
it’s a battle to keep the focus aligned
maybe i’m in love
with the dark,
maybe i secretly
love the pain
maybe i’ve locked
out my heart,
and maybe i don’t
know the way
trying to numb the sting
only to stumble and skimp
feel crumbled and pinned
just want to jump out of my skin
hold you close
and never let you go
so you know
that i love you so
and that it’s not your fault
it hurts to know
how you see me
broken
and out of control
and that’s my fault
but this labyrinth of gargoyles
has always been
the place that i call home
silence is bliss
I’m on a horse
racing through
the woods chasing
the source of art
heading north
facing new
truths deflating
forces of dark
to come back around
the path I sowed, I can’t
fathom how I’m stuck,
settle to kiss the lips
of the light before the
the night to come
because no matter how
fast I go, I can’t
catch him, but
when I get a glimpse,
I write a poem.
I want to tell you a secret. But I realize some of you probably aren’t prepared for this information. You won’t be ready for it, you won’t understand it. You’ll potentially scoff, or get defensive, or shy away from it, or misunderstand it entirely. I don’t want that. So click through the break if you think you can handle it, and I’ll trust that you’re ready.
look into the mirror
trying to envision:
a better me.
but, see your ghost
reflected next to me
it’s evident that
an earthquake is
just around the corner
threatening to crush
down these walls
that I built around
our memories.
