The wind of change that blows us
Like ash that fills the air
We all gaze at it in amazement
But do we really care
It moulds us and it bends us
But does it change us for the good
We cannot get to hold it
Or catch it in a box
That wind of change that blows us

For change were told is better
As long as your a go getter
So the wind just blow you quicker
To that certain end
For you will not stop it
My beleaguered friend
It moulds you and it shapes you
Then blows away your ashes
The wind that does the changes
Changes not a jot
The only thing that we can say is we have had our lot

Six sides
Closed in walls
Gray barran
Graffiti lurks cold to breath
Lights flicker
Senses void
Hightened pain
Ears closed
Shouts of pain
From others closed
Senses hightened to the cold
Investment breath heavy
Damp one sits and dwells on past without future
One is bound
Feelings gone
One is void one is lost

Her Eyes

WRITTEN BY Jennifer M. Muller

(Began August 25, 2003 at Monday 4:37 a.m.)

In the beginning he was so good.
He held her tight while making plans for a better tomorrow.
His rounded peach lips kissed her so passionately.
He loved her, adored her, and made her happy.
Her heart pounded and pounded for the anticipation of his arrival.
It “SEEMED” perfect.
But… Wait….STOP… right there!
I say this now because, that did not last long.
NO …. It did not last long at all.
Within months, her “Knight in Shinning Armor” turned into an unrecognizable monster.
He dragged her through the dirt; made her heart bleed.
“Her Eyes” were NOW blackened by her lover’s RAGE.
Her captor, made her beg for more pain and it was all she knew.
Indeed, she was made to believe that.
Sad girl she was; so sad, so lonely.
This flower; this princess was so unaware
That her TRUE soul mate was waiting patiently for her in the rafters.
This man she still knew or should I say this “sick little boy”.
Was making sure her self-esteem was next to nothing.
After, degrading her and breaking down her spirit,
He would utter pointless words that meant nothing to her now.
“I am sorry! Forgive me! I did not mean to do it!
She cringed when he touched her in “passion” for there was none left in her heart.
Love was replaced by disgust and hate, regret and pain, sadness and anger,
And yes in a way, there was fear.
She feared for her life, yet could not for some unforeseen reason let go.
She was unable to escape his torment.
But on ONE glorious day, her spirit awoke.
This was a part of her she did not even recognize, for it lay dormant.
Yet, it felt good to meet “HER” again.
A part of her “real” self came out to fight HIM,
She clenched her fists in his direction and with a grin on her face she screamed,
“You are NOT what I need!”
“You are not what I want!”
“You are NOT for me!”
“I have had enough!”
On that day he was rendered powerless.
He was thrown from the top of the hill into his own pit of sorrow and sadness.
He no longer had HER to abuse, mistreat, confuse, and defeat.
HE was now DEFEATED and she was… well… How shall I say this?
Her Eyes were finally opened and she was NOW FINALLY FREE!

Road to Nowhere

I scan your face, your soul reflected in piercing eyes
I place my hand on your heaving chest to feel your heart’s musical beat,
Your Life’s colourful drummed rhythm
Dancing on the soles of your earthbound feet

But the glimpse of the real you is quickly masked
Insecurities leave you distrustful and feeling abandoned
Ever questioning whether the person before you is sincere
Never accepting that betrayal is random

No one can heal that broken heart
Nor replace what you once lost
This is a futile exercise of a road going nowhere
Until you forgive and build a highway of trust

And that takes time ....

Look down
You'll see a criminal
Look up
You'll see a god
Look right at me
You'll see yourself

Thunder and Lightning … Bang Bang
Your words sharper than a two-edged sword
Slice with precision and Ricochet around the sunlit room
Piercing my beating heart with each word

Whiplashing all sense of reasoning out of my brain
Trust and respect retrace their steps, slink away
Exploding memories crystallise into a million unimaginable colours
I turn to run and yet too stunned … I stay

Once unbridled joy now just an after thought
Flesh, blood, sweat and tears hurtle into darkest space
My mind’s eye stares … but cannot see …
My emotions cascading … but I cannot scream

You have decimated my very being …
And all because … you could

I need some Synchronicity
To have the possibility
Of finding out how I can see the light
The ones I want to talk to most
Are the father son and Holy Ghost
I need to know where I should be tonight.


So Christine take us by the hand
and lead us to the promised land
Of milk and honey love and light
So Nancy, Gina, Darren and Paul
Come with me I need you all
I need your energy to feed my sight.

But if you take my sanity
I'l be not where I want to be
I don't want anxiety and strife,
I want you all to take me there
I need you all, I know you care
And that's the bare necessities of life.

I woke up one morning strapped face down to a bed, and how I got there I couldn't figure out in my head, I tried to think but nothing was clear, so I screamed and screamed but no one could hear my tormented cries for over an hour, as the tears rolled down the noise on my face, I still can't remember how I got to this place that was dark and damp and smelled of waste, please be a dream I kept saying to myself, but the pain in my side told me I'm really awake, I felt something rolling down my side, I was hoping it was sweet, but the pain told me otherwise, plus the room was cold as my heart beat faster in my chest cause I start to remember I was on a first date with a girl called Sandra that I met on a site, she seemed a nice lady and had a very kind face, the last thing I remember we were in a bar drinking and laughing and all was going well, so how come I woke up to this hell, can't recollect us leaving or anything else, just then the door was kicked in and I got such a fright as the light came through and I saw all the blood on the bed, as the fireman came to me I screamed out for help then I fainted and woke up in a hospital bed, and the doctor told me I was a victim of theft, that they stole my kidney for the black market organs they sell on the dark web, and if they can't cure this infection I'll soon be dead and would I sign a form to donate the rest, I prayed to the universe please don't do me like this I've so much to live for I don't deserve this, five weeks after that I was back on my feet, and now on the dark web trying the find my kidney and the people who did this to me, so don't be fooled by a really kind face or you just might end up in the very same place.

Society says this is the way and so I play
Over and over again always losing the game
From the rules I just can’t or won’t stray
In the end I find somewhere to lay the blame
For the pain, the feelings of failure, the hole
That opens even wider in my damaged soul

Society says this is the way and I listen keenly
Maybe I did something wrong; one more attempt
This time I will make a few changes like the scenery
Yet again defeat looks me in the eye with contempt
As it pours salt on the wounds of my soul
And anguish ravishes my Spirit and hold on to its control.

Society says this is the way; so I hide my tears
Hug my depression close like a secret lover
The world must not know I have fears
Must not learn just how much my smiles cover
Even as the light in my soul recedes by the hour
My smiles must never ever once cower

Society says this is the way; so I become a lie
Held together by more lies and a little deceit
Secrets, hurt, pain and a glowing smile my alibi
Living my life has never been an easy feat
My soul suffers most because it is never seen
Torn and worn it will soon be a “has been”

Society says this is the way; so suffer I must
Silently but reverently cause that is the dictate
My head and heart may be about to combust
But my smile is force to sparkle and compensate
For the weakening of my soul every day
Because Society says that is the best way.
