Listening to the Voice

One day 

You discover 

God

Only, not how one 

Might imagine

But simply 

A part of you 

Or rather that you,

In all of your strengths,

Your weaknesses,

Your imperfections,

Your absolute beauty.

You are but one part.

Not all-powerful,

But a piece of the puzzle

The cosmic puzzle, that is.

And that together 

We are United as One.

We are whole.

Lo...

Have Faith

Breathe deeply

It's okay to cry

I know the weight you carry

And the past that haunts you

I love you all the same

You have such a beautiful

And vibrant soul

I know it's hard to be courageous

And that you lack confidence

But be strong

Be strong for yourself

And just breathe

And know that I'm here

Should you ever need me

I love you

And I wish you nothing b...

Eternity

Sit with me a moment 

Just sit

And listen

To the cries of the universe

Souls of the living

Lost among the stars

Trapped inside mortal bodies

Transcending time, space, flesh and bone

And it's all you, and me

We are all one

We were never alone

Don't be afraid

Always remember

We are all with you

Always

And for eternity.

Understand

I found

A spark 

Within me 

And it ignited a fire 

And opened my heart 

My eyes shine bright 

Like high beams in the dark 

I feel warm 

I understand 

I am a vessel 

For this light to shine through 

I'll find you 

And I'll help you find your way 

I have faith in you 

Just hold on 

I'm coming

Signal

Yes 

The universe can be 

A dark place 

But if you shine your light 

Maybe, just naybe

It will signal more of us

To shine our lights as well

And we can guide the way 

For the lost souls 

But be wary

Like yin and yang 

There must be dark and light 

Balance must always be restored 

When the light shines so bright 

Be prepared to face the dark 

Always act ...

Weep Your Tears

Weep your tears

For years to come

No fear, but Sorrow stays

A loyal friend

Who knows no end 

You will see brighter days

You'll feel the pain

The rain will fall

And drain you of your light

But do not dwell

You'll not do well

Unless you stand and fight

Return to love

The skies above

And all that you have known

You'll find your way

The light will stay

Piercing Light

Your kind words 

Are the light 

That shines upon my darkness 

Piercing the storm clouds 

And showering me 

With warmth

Cleansing my very soul 

I can feel your healing touch 

Upon my body 

So gentle 

So sweet 

I close my eyes 

And feel you here 

And share with you 

This moment

Don't Need to be the King

I don't need to be the King

The crown is not my priority

My purpose lies in life's flow

Like the rivers

How they reach so far

And provide so much life

I seek to restore balance

Return harmony

Inspire laughter, joy, happiness,

Love 

Laugh in the face of darkness

Strike with all your might

Slash through the fears

Let go of the hate

Ready, Willing, and Able

The vast

Forgotten reaches

Of the universe

Hold no answers

To the mysteries

That inspire curiosity.

You will not find

What it is that you seek.

The mysteries of life

Shall stay as they are.

Wondrous

How we come so far

Travel for so long

On such epic journeys

To arrive with the same wisdom

Happiness is the closest thing

To an answer

Story Time

I wander in circles 

Lost among the vast reaches 

Of space 

Inside my own head

I search for the answers 

So many times 

Nearly finding a clue 

Some answer

That may point me 

To my next destination 

I fear I'll never find my way 

I know my purpose 

But without guidance 

How am I to know 

How best to serve 

And where I am needed?

I hear the lost souls ...

Among Eternity

Laying here

Curled in a ball

In the darkness

And silence

I hear whispers

Somebody calling my name

It is you

I know it is you

I am right here

But you can't hear me

My echo doesn't reach

My cries goes unheard

Passersby momentarily stare

Before moving on

I'll be okay

I'll find my strength one day

And then I'll find you

And if you would have me

Adventure

Adventure awaits us

Down some long dirt road

I could get lost in those eyes

And you'd find me every time

In your heart, one of many places

That I can call home

And I'll share with you 

The warmth of my soul 

Come sit by my fire 

I'll tell you stories through time 

Of the universe

Of its mysteries 

And all the love 

That keeps us connected

My Flame

A gleaming light

A sign of hope

Right when I was reaching

The end of my rope

I found the strength

To climb again

Through the burns and bruises

And the bleeding

With you on my mind

It all gets easier

My heart feels lighter

I feel the fire burning

But it's no torture

This is motivation

Inspiration

This love is my flame

I'll hold it in my heart

Balance Through Darkness

Hold your breath

And submerge yourself in the darkness

Don't let it get a hold of you

Meditate upon on it

Understand it's importance

And where it comes from

Anger is an incredible sword

Put it to good use

May it be used to slash through

All the Sorrow and Fear

And emerge stronger

Fight with the darkness

To bring back the light

And clear up the clouds

Reach

How cruel 

I need to escape

This fate is maddening

Far out of reach

But just enough contact

To grow an artery

A lifeline

A distant bond

Oh, of all the beautiful souls

Speak to Me

Speak to me 

I can feel your heart all over mine 

Climbing through my nerves

Driving me crazy 

You must be

A master in this realm

You've got me aching

Wanting 

Needing you close to me

You lightly tug at my heart strings

Like the softest strumming

Of an acoustic guitar

You've really left a mark

But not a scar

No pain here

More like an inked drawing of a ...

A Moment of Serenity

Oh 

What a feeling 

So 

Serene

Like blades of grass 

With morning dew

Glistening in the rising sun

A few leaves falling 

Tall grass swaying

Like seaweed 

In peaceful reverie

Just simply 

Existing 

Such beauty to behold

Bustling humans 

So busy 

Distracted by their dramas and politics 

Remember to take a moment 

Take a breath 

And sway with l...

Soft

I'd like to trace my fingertips across your back
Find those points of tension
And soften the pain
I'd like to run my fingers up your neck
Through your hair
As I look deep
Into those lovely luminescent eyes
I want you to release your emotions
Like an electrical pulse
Let me feel it through my skin
Right through, into my nerves
I want to feel your heart beat against mine
In absolute euph...

Gravity

You have this
Gravity
About you
And not only
Does it pull me in
But like the Sun
It provides me with Light
Light that guides me
That shows me
Where to find Happiness within
It glows

Do you feel me too?

The Calm

Overburdened with such emotion 

They all seem to spill out through my eyes 

Straight from my heart 

Fear

Sorrow 

Rage 

All of my bodily aches

And yet 

You calm them 

And you call out the joy 

And it alone 

Brings tranquillity 

Order

To all the chaos 

Thank you 

If only I could return the favour 

I send my gratitude 

And all of my love

Overwhelming Light

Such lightness
Unburdened
Like somebody took all of the darkness
And cast it into the Sun
I know I'll have to resume carrying it once again
But for now I rest
This overwhelming joy I feel
Like my light is so bright
It could outshine the darkest darkness
Infectious
At least I hope
If I could only share it
With the world
Or with you
And take away all of your pain
If you would

Electric

Like an electrical storm
You shock me to my core
You rattle my foundations
Make me feel like so much more
I can't describe the sheer
overwhelming feel of joy
Like you're the most amazing woman
And I am but a boy
You cloud my head with thoughts
That makes the darkness disappear
But the spark I feel between us
Makes me numb to all my fears
I could spend my whole life
Or just a minute of...

Breathe me deep into your chest 

I'll let you take me whole 

It seems our spirits do know best 

Take this beating heart of mine 

It's yours to keep, my dear 

I'll share with you my strength 

So you can fight away your fears 

Let's scream into the thunderstorm

Show it all that we can do 

No storm would ever take apart 

This love I hold for you

Arrow

Struck by an arrow
Straight to the heart
By such a gentle soul
With a playful spirit
But there is no site of injury
No blood to be seen
No sign of a wound
But what is this feeling?
The child in me wants to play
I feel so much energy and vitality
Like I'm alive again
What a feeling

Inhale, Exhale

Inhale 

Exhale 

Close your eyes 

Lying down in a forest 

Deep within the mountains 

So tranquil

Birds chirping 

Leaves blowing in a light breeze

You move your hand 

And find another 

Intertwine fingers 

Feel their pulse  

Synchronize in spirit 

Become one 

Tangled in passionate ecstasy 

Senses heightened

Emotions amplified 

Relax the body

Surface

Just below the surface

Not close enough to breach

Running out of oxygen

My arms, they will not reach

I'm dying, and not a soul alive

Can hear me scream

I awake, heart pounding in my chest

My luck, it was a dream

Relax, deep breath in, and out

No need to stress

It was a figment of my wild

Imaginative mind, no more, no less

Reality sets in fast

And all the stru...

Heart to Share

I still feel you

Every now and then

Hard not to

You changed me in so many ways

And in the end

I broke my own heart

To be certain

I would never lose you

Because it was easier

Easier than possibly losing you

But I didn't know

The pain it would cause

The years of torment

I became what I thought to be

Your protector

But that only wore me down

Eventually ...

Connection

I can see you, even from so far away
I feel your presence in my heart
You keep me warm at night, with all of your love
And you hold me together when I'm falling apart
I only hope you feel me, and I truly mean this
I hope you know that I'm sending you all of my thoughts
It's a deep understanding, this wisdom we've gained
Has come from the countless battles we've fought

The Battles We Face

A constant battle with my emotions
Winning, losing, trying to find myself
All of the ups and downs have beaten me, broken me
Living in a dark place, my own personal hell
Yet, I nurture my spirit- I've given so much time
Working toward rebuilding this broken home
And I know in my heart that we all face these battles
And I understand deeply, that we are never truly alone

Passion

To me, the most beautiful sight

Is when I see the spark within you 

Burst into a wildfire, igniting your light

A spiritual dance of passion and virtue

In these precious moments when you come alive

I truly see you for all the good you can be

I believe with all my heart that you have the drive

Just open your heart, and then you will see

Grace

Falling upwards, yes, up to the stars

A feeling almost like resurfacing for air

So close I could almost reach out and touch 

The heavens above that tease me, so unfair

Just out of reach, I dwell in this space

In a euphoric state of acceptance and grace

Alone on my path, I choose my own destiny

I carry my burdens and walk at my own chosen pace

One Light, Many Lamps

I caught a glimpse of the sun's light 

And it was incredible 

It blinded me with its wisdom 

I just wish it was edible

For the truth I have laid my eyes upon

I may never unsee

Though only one lights our world

There are countless suns in the galaxy

One light, many lamps

Scattered across the universe

One journey, many paths

And so many possible trails to traverse

Empty Room

I'm here, in this dark room
I've locked the door so that I can be alone
And dwell on my past, and soak in the misery
I'm here so that I can scream
and nobody will hear me
Because I need to release
But I am far too independent
To ask for an ear
And so I wait for a moment
When I can blow off some steam
And calm the thoughts
That fill me with anxiety

Self Harm

Do not bring any more harm to yourself
I'm here, I've come to ease the discomfort
No more unnecessary pain
I'll hold you close, and bring an end to the hurt
I can see this has gone on for quite some time
And I ask you- why must you suffer alone?
But you push me away, unwilling to love
With your blood cold as ice, and your heart made of stone

Words to Share

If I have any wisdom to share
Based on my experiences
I would say to spend more time being happy
It's no use being angry all the time
Put down those grudges, let them go
There is absolutely no purpose
In carrying weight that does not make you any stronger
Make somebody laugh
Brighten their day
Maybe you'll find that, in doing so,
Your day also gets a little brighter

Lost Puppy

You are such a lost puppy

You keep attaching to every little bit of affection you receive

How pathetic 

It's no wonder why they think so little of you

Have a little self respect

You could be so much more than this

If only you could see past your own mistakes

It seems you didn't learn anything

Stuck in the same cycle

Bound to repeat this pattern for eternity

Work Ethic

The screaming of silent voices
That do not reach my lips
While the tears that I try so hard to hide
Well up, and pour out
Not unlike a small stream of water
What a pittance
Is this all I am worth?
My heart screams at me to go easy
But my conscious mind tells me to ignore
I'm stuck, bound by chains
To the ethic I have built myself upon
This altar

Words of Wisdom

I made a promise once, long ago
That I'd always stand by your side
Protect you 'til death, wherever you go
But this life has been one hell of a ride
Once seen as Gods, Creators, and Kings
So determined we were to show them the Truth
But all that they wanted was to grow their own wings
Unfortunate, this trait that we've had since our youth
We may not share the gifts we were given, I explain...

Oh my goodness

How the depression sets in

As I lay here

Curled up in bed sheets

Crying

Trying to find my way back

But the anxiety taunts me

Teases me

Tears me apart from the inside

Please make it stop

I don't want to hurt anymore

I just miss my friends

I just miss

Just miss everything

Pain, suffering, and blood-red tears
God knows why I'm in such pain
I can't bear to face my fears
My skin, discoloured from the bloodstains
I hurt, I beg you, end this madness
The misery, I can't take it anymore
The lost love, heartbreak, and sadness

Release me, I swear, I'll find my way back

Creation

A blank piece of paper
For anything to be created
And on it, my life was written
But what if I'm the one he hated?
Had he cursed me with my birth
To forever bring pain where I go
Or am I just overthinking
It's impossible for even my heart to know

Not knowing what my true purpose may be
But one day I'll find a reason

That you blind me with your light

But don't run
