From a Single Mother

I gave my Life to You,
Gave a son to you,
Will never understand,
Why it’s this You Put me Through.

Four years Built from addiction,
Entertaining Individual Affliction,
When He Came into the world,
I had to be the One to remove him from our Horrid Decisions.

I made the changes, I became a Mother,
But it is you who claims to suffer,
While you continue the same path of insanity,
In your presence I crumble, without you We Prosper.

Spare me your rants about what’s been done to you,
Hold on to your words of what I’ve Put you Through,
I’ve done what any Instinctual person would,
When they put ego aside, Let self- will Undo.

This must happen as a Child Enters the World,
My life has become, watching His Unfurl,
I will not feel Guilt for protecting Him,
While you tear me down with each Lie you’ve hurled.

Through each lesson, I continually let you In,
In the hopes that your serious, That it’s Tristan who will Win,
You came into our house, disrespected, betrayed us again,
Showed us once more the stronghold of Your Sin.

Yet again I hold the Guilt,
As you transfer your own Shame,
Thank God he’s still to young,
To understand your Cold Heart’s Game.

Tristan and I will Prosper
Whether or not you chose to Join.
We’ve been blessed with strength and Survival.
For you, we won’t Morn.

I will Continue to Pray,
For you and your best.
If I were to ever see you,
It would be a spiritual test.

One I have clearly not conquered yet,
As my heart still hopes,
for my Son, The best.

‘I pray the world never runs out of dragons . For the dragon is the quintessential paradox , simultaneously embodying our ultimate ally and our greatest of foes . They represent the unconquerable epitome of destruction and the primordial catalyst of creation , producing images of dark grandeur and prismatic possibilities .

They are the manifestations of the brightest and most shrouded parts of our imaginations .

We make the dragons , because somewhere deep in our hearts , we recognize that a world without them is not worth living in .

There are so many people in the land that want an answer , a definite answer , for everything in life , and even for everything after life . They study and they test , and because those few find the answers for some simple questions , they assume that there are answers to be had for every question . What was the world like before there were people ? Was there nothing but darkness before the sun and the stars ? Was there anything at all ? What we we , each of us , before we were born ? And what , most importantly , shall we be after we die ?

Out of compassion , I hope that those inquisitors never find that which they seek .

For what are we left with if there is no mystery ? What hope might we find if we know all the answers ?

What is it within us , then , that so desperately wants to deny magic and unravel mystery ? Fear , I presume , based on the many uncertainties of life and the greatest uncertainty of death . Put those fears aside and live free , I say , and live free of them , for if we just step aside and watch the truth of the world , we will find that there is indeed magic all about us , unexplainable by numbers and formulas .

What is the passion evoked by the stirring speech of the commander before the desperate battle , if not magic ?

What is the peace that an infant might know in it’s mother’s arms , if not magic ?

What is love , if not magic ?

No , I would not want to live in a world without dragons , as I would not want to live in a world without magic , for that is a world without mystery , and that is a world without faith .

And that , for any reasoning , conscious being , would be the cruelest trick of all …’

Through His Eyes

Through His Eyes,

Emotion is language.

Through His Eyes,

There is no distinction between Heaven and Earth.

Through His Eyes,

The world is Eden.

Through His Eyes,

Every sound is a melody.

Through His Eyes,

Everything is a friend.

Through His Eyes,

Each waking moment is as a dream.

Through His Eyes,

Whispering trees surrender secrets.

Through His Eyes,

Every cloud paints a portrait.

Through His Eyes,

Colors stream as hallucinogens,

Through His Eyes,

Every animal speaks his language.

Through His Eyes,

The sun speaks Good Morning and the Moon Whimpers Good Night.

He has not yet forgotten.

He has not yet been blinded.

His eyes are The Eyes of God.

Symphony

My mind turns to glass when I think of you
with a shattered idea of what I thought I knew
your grace chaotic through and through
as you create your symphony
leaving a clear view

I am Weary, Let me Rest

Direct my path in all your ways
sleepless nights leading to challenging days
endless days leave me feeling contrite

swirling thoughts of what i must do
give my life back
remain dependent on you

i see now theres nothing in this world
empty promises, smoke screens, personal gain
lift me above

let me not be effected by cares and concerns
but trust that through time what is meant will be
i am weary let me rest

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Through the Looking Glass

 

 

Finally took the road less traveled
through the looking glass
found whats always mattered

winding paths surrender to talking trees
finally i found the cabin’s keys

I know I’ve sought this road before
free to let my spirit soar

I cannot take credit for this
heart received redemption’s kiss

 

I heard God’s Voice once

I Heard God’s voice Once

In auditory Norm

His voice came through a Muse

Expressing his Freeform

Over come with astonishment

Humanity in his diction

I could not help but say to him

“This is it?! And I’m Not a Christian.”

That didn’t seem to matter

He spoke clearly his reply

“What did you expect my Love?”

“A man up in the sky?”

Tears streamed down my cheeks

That or my face was leaking

Water from my soul

Which God said he was releasing

He told me it was Me

Who caused my own torment

That he felt each breath of pain I felt

Experienced my Laments

I asked how is it possible

To be released from such travail

God said he would remove the bars

Release me from my cell

From my own Captivity

A prison built from desire

To please the world and myself too

He would set this world on Fire

A contrived view of myself

He said was my affliction

That self defeat, and people pleasing

Had become an addiction

I now don’t hear his Voice

But his message was very clear

Be Bold through iniquities

Don’t give into fear

You may only be courageous

In the midst of dread and anxiety

God told me I was free

To live the way I pleased

He seemed very confident

I’m Living the life he’s given

In exactly the way that’s meant to be

Purposeful and Sufficient

He finally begged and pleaded

I would leave my misinterpretations behind

Let go of extremities

Stop allowing self to be defined

My life is one portrait

A show of what God is

In human fleshly form

Where God lives from within

He experiences through me

all that I endure

For the pain that I have suffered

Acceptance is the cure

The treatment lays in Living

A life passionately

Not questioning every motive

And using my heart to see

I can’t stop from looking
In hopes you will see
Keep looking through you
Do you want to know me?
Want to Love you for all that you are
Are you willing to step out from afar?
Are you able to accept me in the way I’ve accepted you?
Can you take on all of me, knowing that it’s all true?

I’m no longer wondering
I know where I’m supposed to be
Have you found your place?
Do you know that it’s with me?
I know life is demanding
I know it’s filled with stress
I know that I’m the answer
De-tangle-thought mess

Within your heart we are intertwined
Was it within mine first?
Though I failed to see the line?
I know who you are
Do you want to know me?
Will we get there soon?
Will we be set free?

♑☥♑

 

Entwined

My heart is crying out to you
My head no longer pretends
That loneliness was meant for me
With no hopes to mend

A spirit once broken
Contrite and filled with fear
Has been given a breath of life
Releasing bliss’s Tear

I’ve always dreamed about you
Two lights float in the divide
In our secret place we would meet
Where our souls there would bind

My thoughts no longer search
My head no longer in control
My heart has taken over
Entwined with yours forever more

Perfect Creation

I know he’s speaking to you
I know you hear him clear
I know his spirit guides you
I know he holds you near

I feel vibrations from him
He draws me closer through you
I feel the Love surrounding
He calls me to give in
I know he’s speaking to me
I keep my heart open

Just that I may hear
Every word he’s spoken
We cant experience the sound
But we feel the Vibration
He is the essence uniting
Perfect Creation

Though our pasts do not define me
The pictures painted clear
Reflecting where I’ve come from
Redeemed through my fears

Where depression has led
Serenity calls me now
When heartache has followed
Divinity now surrounds

Let me not forget where I’ve come from
But continue to look ahead
hears focused forward
Forged from past’s dread

The picture being painted
The portrait of each life
As diamonds forge from coal
He molds us through past strife

But two who come together
Divinities undying Flame
Two become one
Only Epic love remains

“Saudade was once described as “the love that remains” after someone is gone. Saudade is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again. It can be described as an emptiness, like someone (e.g., one’s children, parents, sibling, grandparents, friends, pets) or something (e.g., places, things one used to do in childhood, or other activities performed in the past) that should be there in a particular moment is missing, and the individual feels this absence. It brings sad and happy feelings all together, sadness for missing and happiness for having experienced the feeling.”

 

Colors of fall leaves radiate

bringing warmth and brilliance

to the autumn air

Green mountains submit to colorful trees

The air brings about a feeling of comfort

in the cool dusky sky

As the sun falls behind the spectrum

Bringing about the nights air

A pungent scent of dew forms

sweet, electric to the senses

Holes poked through the canopy of night

Showing a starry view

Glimmers into ‘Heaven’

 

Are you peaking back at me?

Is this beauty for me to see?

As A lover showers his bride with gifts,

Have you given me the world,

In all it’s beauty,

Your eternal kiss?

 

Chip Cherps of critters

Cackling of trees

Senses hightened

My eyes play tricks on me

 

Though You see me through the stars

My eyes play tricks on me

Wishing I could feel you

Begging I could see

 

As the seasons change

Sooner does day become night

My eyes may see lights beauty

My souls domain is night

 

As easily as you have given the world

Take these crimson pieces of me

Let fates String Become Unfurled

 

 

 

 

Star Crossed Love

Feelings change as time is sowed
I suppose it’s presidented as a relationship growsConversations of life and past lovers
collide intermingling ones life with another

My deepest desire is to do life with one
My twin flame, burning passion

Never could I settle for complacency
Perhaps I’m not thinking rationally.

Are these things I’m feeling growing into something more?
something I never predicted or opened up for

Floods pouring through my heart
praying for whats right, what won’t be torn apart

Star crossed lovers, born from deathly destruction
do we form an equation? the essential function?

I know now my happiness may only come from within
Spirit inspired, relinquished of Sin

I want to shine a light, run darkness from your world…

Continue this path, let the rest unfurl..


The power of IT

It draws us together,
It tears us apart.
It marks the end of a beginning,
Or does it simply make it start?
Unquestionable and divine
It charts a lineage for big and small
Controlling strings that thus connect us all.

In all our lives it guides us, pushes and controls us.
For purposes and causes relatively unknown.
Inevitable and undeniable, like a statistic,
It runs my life, behind curtains of chaotic turns.
I’ve seen its face, through counting the passing days
It’s neither good nor evil, like a program.
It merely bends and shapes all things,
Into the linearity of life and the development of soul.
It makes my purpose rather clear,
And yet completely unknown if I can change it all.

Would love to release you
instead I give you power
by taking on your pain through resentment

would give anything to let you go
instead you grow stronger

as I remember what was

poison to each other is all we ever were
leaching life or lack there of
dividing up pieces to make the other whole

through addictions and chaos
we would be each others demise
now my eyes are wide open,

you remain blind

placing blame where you can
not recognizing the source
you’ll continue to fall,

rock bottom becoming your foundation

  I hope the best for you
I’m letting you go
release me from your demons
allow my heart to flow

 

I Know Someone Who Does

I don’t know what your purpose is, but i know someone who does.

I don’t know what your meant to do, but i know it’s inspired with love.

I don’t know what he’s saying to you, but i know you should be listening.

I don’t know how to tell you, he’s the piece your missing.

He’s waiting for you to cry out to him, broken on the floor,

You’ll shout at him “why me, why me?” and he’ll show you something more.

That tug you feel it’s on your heart, so give up your false control.

Cry out and say “Father please hear me! it’s with you that i enroll!”

I sense the fear within you, confusion whispering loud.

It’s because your standing on the brink of when glory will abound.

I don’t know what his plans are, but i know they’re better when their his.

Once you let him dwell within you, you’ll receive his graceful kiss.

 

What is it to be Free?

sins forgiven , set apart

bondage broken, from before the start

chosen for light before the foundations of the world

created with gifts, constantly becoming unfurled

this is all great head knowledge

deep within my heart there’s much left to dredge

is there a difference between heart, and soul?

or are the connected? to repair only one hole?

is there a key to make concepts real?

one that unlocks suppressions seal?

there was a time once I lived with no remorse

lived through chaos, let nature take its course

I feel as though I had it more together then

before I bit the apple and dove right down it

I’m finished trying to figure this all out

not giving up faith, just admitting it’s something I know nothing about

In fact at this point I claim to know absolutely nothing

not whats happened, what I’m feeling, or whats coming

I think inevitably it’s better that way

free from expectations is where i will stay

free from delusions of how life’s supposed to be

from what it means to actually be free

I Am.

Whether good or bad hold experience near, let it be guidance through lives paths and it’s fears.

Fear and darkness, blinded to whats ahead, allow yourself strength without the burden of dread.

True love is constant, always unconditional. Without judgment, true friends will reach out when you fall.

It’s up to you to open your heart, let go the unyielding pain you consume from when it was torn apart.

Ridiculous as it seems, life’s highs are the best. More powerful, less destructive than any drug you ingest.

Natural euphoria, bearing no regret. Hold on to nostalgia, incidents you could never forget.Don’t take for granted the positive things you are given. Life without happiness is a life without living.

I Am

Repression falls, reaping redemption bliss,

worlds collide, dark receiving lights kiss.

Two become one, in the eternal matrimony,

singing sweet hymns of his righteous harmony.

 

I Am with a face

I Am within your dreams

I Am all your thoughts

I Am the unseen

Relax your mind.

Rebuke your eyes

As I Am prepares the great reprise.

 

Barriers rise, bringing deceptions clear,

Interconnected, Leaving sheep no fear.

Collect your passions, refine your mind,

What once was dust, will soon be left behind.

 

Stay your course, holding the truth close,

Listen sharply, for the voice of his holy ghost.

Loving – kindness, where received grace may abound,

We receive the lesson, bearing a thorny crown.

 

 

“When I say I am a Christian, I’m not shouting I’m Clean living,

I’m whispering ‘I was lost’, Now I’m found and forgiven.

When I say I am a Christian, I don’t speak of this with pride,

I’m confessing that I Stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say I am a Christian, I’m not trying to be strong,

I’m professing that I’m weak, and need his strength to carry on.

When I say I am a Christian, I’m not bragging of success,

I’m admitting I have failed, and need God to clean my mess.

When I say I am a Christian, I’m not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are far to visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say I am a Christian, I still feel the sting of pain,

I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon his name.

When I say I am a Christian, I’m not holier than thou,

I’m just a simple sinner who recieved God’s grace somehow”

-Maya Angelou

Caught between the cross hairs

In this race I’m trying to lose

Other runners act as though

It’s the other lane I choose

I run with directive

purpose in my stride

My eyes fixed on the finish

Jesus at my side

His blood shed on the cross

while I was on his mind

He’s paid my ransom for me

No sin left behind

He lifts me when I falter

Loves me when I fight

His grace is in abundance

His wisdom brings me light

I run with directive

Purpose in my stride

My eyes fixed on you God

You’ve conquered this divide

 

 

 

You think you know me

You think you know me?

you have no idea

the picture you’ve painted it isn’t clear

jaded by fears from a haunted past

holding relevence other memories last

suppose i should have known from the very beginning…

when it comes to the heart there is no winning

highs and lows tension to release

always shadowed by what the past keeps

suppose it’s my fault timing all wrong

remembering to except there’s a portrait being drawn

when two lives intertwine always an exchange

neither know in the beginning what will remain

said i accepted you for all that are

being candid myself hasn’t gone well so far

i can accept this isn’t whats for you

i can respect that with bullshit you’re through

where my problem lies is even when given the truth

still so quick to just move on through

not normally one to dwell on these things

for some reason now can’t get rid of the sting

gave myself to you in a way you can’t see

too caught up holding hearts key

 

Divinity Abounds

Everything manifesting
Divinity abounds
Brings light to what seemed darkness
Showing no darkness surrounds
Intention in everything
Does not belong to me
Purpose through the senseless
Through an all encompassing key
Keep perspectives focused
on Truth and Heart
Out of these flows purity
From there we break apart
From lives we’ve believed
False blinds cast out

 

For you My Love, I will come through,
let my hear rest only with you.
This sleepless nights’ led to a brighter day,
as my earnest words lead from dismay.

For you My Love, my heart is yours,
the gates drawn up you’ve broke down doors.
Tainted lusts drawn from a prideful mind,
I need you love, false motives left behind.

For you My Love, my fears’ cast out,
as loves’ perfected without dread from doubt.
My heart cries out for ever questioning this,
still you draw me back with your unmerited kiss.

For you My Love, I will wait,
faithful hands have drawn out fate.
He’s drawing masterful art from me and you,
knowing in time he’ll carry us through.

For you My Love, my hearts’ made gold,
while this fire simmers my story unfolds.
All perfection is made with a cost,
as the two become one you relinquish what was lost

 

Acceptance

My heart beats heightened

Eyes shed no tear

My outward appearance reveals terror

True self defeat

Gives birth to faith

Faith in myself, not some haughty face

Been searching a lifetime

trying to fill my Void

This epic quest transpires universally

A twisted lesson

‘I Am’ describes as love

As we all feel suffering, and cry out up above

 

Our power lies within individuality

Acceptance of ourselves, will set us free

Your deepest desires are what will come to pass,  whether they seem attainable is irreverent.  Follow your bliss.

 

Though I feel you always

Void seems to find me in absence

Surrounded by provision

Connection is what I crave

Individuals we may be

Our souls conjoined set us free

Until the day we may physically touch

I allow memories as a crutch
