The centre of the world
the sun in the centre of a bright blue sky
soar up into the clouds
gliding on the wind so high
the light is nigh.
To continue
moving forward step by step
if you manage nothing on this day
but everything as well
remember to breathe
eventually I may tell
but for now i button luscious lips
and sway my hips
as I strut into the night
away and out of sight
up and away with the wind
graceful as a kite.
Keep hold of the string
keep hold with all your might.
Deep down low
Surrounded by Black
Swirling thoughts on overdrive
Falling fast
Graceful Swan dive
Into the darkest ocean insomnia
Energy I can’t harness
Takes on the darkness
Anger ties my stomach in knots
Rock the crying baby
In the swinging cot
Still sleep so far away from me
To much internal fire
And the dreaded dark energy
Sky silent
No birds, no wind
No sun,
No moon
Nada estrellas
The silent night
La noche
Silencio
No gente
Calle muerto
Nobody cares
Nobody cares
Tu vida
Pero no
I don’t care……
Just a silly slut
one word
through her heart it cut
down her cheeks fell
a river of tears
turning into an ocean
after so many years
you stupid slut
it hurt so bad
her wrists she cut…
she was so much more
but she couldn’t see
couldnt get past that word
and now dead she be…
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me – If only that was true….
Poor Sue….
Do not act
Nor respond
wait
And Make waiting an end unto itself
Dive into the ocean
And the ocean and you become one
Not long in this life
And then we are gone
I feel so low
Days rolling out
Time passing so slow
Pack a bag
And just go…
No destination
Cabin fever stuck in this present situation
I need the road
Its calls echo around the empty walls
If I had no legs
Still I would crawl
Towards the door
To not be here
anymore…..
False nations, fake response….Or would that be reaction?
For the sky is true
the moon and the stars
flower filled fields and trees of the brightest green hue
authentic in their beauty
their light
this is true….
So how are you? Como estas?
I’m ok, you say, fake smiles yet eyes brimming with tears?
No lies, be true
Bien, Y tu?
No! No muy fatale!
Say this, if this be true…
Drop the mantra
no need to cling
to false positivity
embrace the entire spectrum of emotions
this is not bipolar
simply what it is to be….
Human…..
If we are finite
what are we
simply existence
existential beings
energy
Feeling everything
and yet feeling nothing at all
pull in close
curl up into a ball
The light shines into the night
the sky in pure darkness
but the stars shine bright
we are limitless
yet imprisoned within our self made cages
spread your wings
and reach
the butterfly soars high
carried by the wind
away
disappearing into the clear nights sky
And then the rain began to fall
heavy and loud
with the wind a whisper
a call
it was the yin to the suns yang
bringing a cool breeze
a gray haze
the perfect end to this particular Saturday..
I lay and I listened
eyes half open
breathing in the cigarette smoke
not regretting a thing
still laughing at the private in jokes
another toke
as i philosophize
life is
no longer willing to generalise…
We are told to tell the truth
for to lie we are despised
there is proof…
But the truth one does not wish to hear
so we are forced to lie
through fear…
Speak the truth
even if I do not like what I hear
I will always be happy
because it is the lies
which I fear……
As a parent, the most valuable wisdom I can pass onto my child, is that to speak the truth is the most important, and not my truth, not my ideals, not what I want to hear, but the actual truth as it is to my child…
