Life Tapestry

Each glorious day that we awake, There are many choices we all must make. Every choice brings new lessons for you to learn, If you study well, then ascension you will earn. Choices choices which one should I choose? If made with love in your heart, you cannot lose. Free Will is granted to all so make your own Choice, Some lessons are easier when you listen to your inner voice. Ea...

The Flower One Day

The Flower One Day / Michael Kwack

 

 

While I was not out,

The flower bloomed.

 

That will fall,

While I do not look,

 

The flower of love.

 

One day,

Suddenly,

The heart will fall.

Blue Eyes

Blue as the sky above

Your eyes shine so bright like the morning light

I was scared to let you in my heart

I was scared  that this was going to be too hard 

I was scared to fall 

But your blue eyes, that shine so bright 

Gave me hope, gave me a reason to believe, and fight

I look at you with awe

Wondering where you have been and what you have done

And I pray to God

I see tomorrow, born from death

When death steal your tomorrow
leaving you with more questions than sorrows
What is life, so fragile, no time to waste
who am I, where do I belong, where is my space?

Memories painting a picture against the wall
trying to make sense of yesterday’s Fall
Some make you smile, some make you cry
there is nothing of yesterday to deny.

As time tempers the Mind and heals the Heart
the Soul is...

I want to distant you!

 I want to distant you.

It's not because of you but because of me.

I think what's between us is not meant to be.

I don't want our friendship to break into a fight.

So it's better to distant, at least for a while.

It's not easy but I have to,

if not for me then at least for you.

 

what I am is something you'll not understand.

For it, you don't even have to pretend.

I thought, You had a crush!

Remember? the first day when you saw me,

I felt you have a crush.

That was the biggest problem to be,

since I took it for a rush.    

 

Our eyes used to meet,

and you pretended to be sweet.

I used to show you as a creep,

that was my way to prevent being a freak.

 

You used to take a cycle,

I used to take a walk.

Maybe you never felt,

but I tried to have a tal...

Flower in the Stone

Pursue the beauty until the ugliness leaves you alone

and let you bloom
like a flower in the stone

Beauty   heart

listen to her

inside of you,

that constant voice

knows you better 

than anyone else.

 

she’s been there

when no one else was.

she knows she’ll never

steer you wrong.

 

she’ll direct you forward, 

& retract you 

from uncomfortable situations.

no matter if they say otherwise, 

listen to her.

 

friends know a side of you,

your lover knows another,

but she knows...

Coming Home

she'd faded to a cipher

a silhouette on the wall,

I took shelter in dreams

in my sleep I can recall

 

the girl she used to be

afore time did us part,

the question I pose is;

oh where is her heart?

 

no love fills her veins

smile a vague smear

harder than me, she

exploits the old fear

 

that she will leave me

like a thief in the night

my poor spiri...

El CorazΓ³n


He lit mi corazΓ³n like wildfire, 

It ignited something within. 

I feel this burning desire, 

Whenever I’m with him. 

 

Loco con lujuria and now i’m addicted, 

Y yo amo the taste of his skin. 

But we are always restricted thus I’m conflicted, 

Is this actually a grave sin?

LOVE IS A GAMBLE

To love deeply is like wearing your heart on the outside of your body
Uncaged
Uncovered
Protect it like you would a baby
Motherd
Protected not smothered
Be gentle oh fragile one's Hearts
Be careful with the heart of another
If broken I fear that this time this Heart may never recover

Concussion

looming at me she's smiling

swerving to keep her at bay

I crossed double white lines

after that things went grey

 

waking in her brawny arms

she whispers words of love

how we were fated to meet

the way we fit hand in glove

 

concussion raddling my mind

my brain limps in reverse gear

random thoughts flit like fleas

one above all else, naken fear

Spice

regrettable my outburst

but this is just how I feel

on the grid-iron of my fire

scorch marks dont heal

 

bad scrams to your lover

you were always a tart

he'll shortly see through

that hard nutmeg heart

 

my naive sapphire ring

Christmas gift unzipped

in return a Judas-kiss to

a lone moss-lined crypt

 

you callous as quartz

pretending to be fond
