MAGDALENA
M-any times I dreamt to fly,
A-nd many times I just woke up without a sky,
G-rowing my mind with the desire of you,
D-ying my heart because no hopes were true,
A-nd felt like a space without the end,
L-eft alone hearing your "no" grabbing my hand.
E-rased are the feelings that once made me fly,
N-o more dreams
A-nd no more the man able to cry.
A-nd many times I just woke up without a sky,
G-rowing my mind with the desire of you,
D-ying my heart because no hopes were true,
A-nd felt like a space without the end,
L-eft alone hearing your "no" grabbing my hand.
E-rased are the feelings that once made me fly,
N-o more dreams
A-nd no more the man able to cry.

K-now how you sometimes can feel
A-bout living a dream that no one can kill
S-earching for excitment, passion or love
A-nd hoping it will be pure like a flying dove.
N-othing can tell you what you will find
D-ead or alive inside your heart and your mind.
R-eading your soul is not easy task
A-ll I can say, you need a man with no mask!

Post CommentBorn Free with My First Breath!
Born free; I was with my very first breath
onto a path that progresses through death,
rendering my mind with language and the arts
nurturing my inner child from the start.
Free to choose my way, and then to choose the right
Remembering innate knowledge of the blue light,
entry and exit this portal; mine own choice
even if society decides whose voice
was not to be heard by patriarchal ears
intent as meant and said without deep felt fear.
Tumultuous path for seekers of the truth en route,
humility keeps us strong no matter the amount
…of…
maniacal laws, negative energy
yielding no obedience from you and me.
For we really were Born Free with our very first breath
intense, italicized carried from cradle to death.
Reiterating these words to all who try to enslave
sexuality, brain washing and suppress in caves
truth and answers we all need to discover in waves.
Burning divine light out before it begins
reversing the psychic damage deep within
every bend and curve in the river and path
anchored to our spirit like ball and chain stacked.
Together they wring us in fear and poverty.
However; with our first breath, we truly are born FREE!

D.own and deep in
A.t the bottom of a dissociative soul
R.ests the one I love and rests the one I hate the most
K.eeping me away from evil, hiding me away from me
P.rying from a good, safe distance
A.lmost like I'm there to be
S.ilent whisper that inhabits
S.elling peace for bloody bills
E.very time I’m week and tired, he’s got strength for us to be
N.ever stray or break, nor startle, only if I pay the fee
G.ranting him my self esteem to feed on
E.mty, sweet tranquillity, in a solitaire and hollow silence
R.ight until again he hisses ‘come on back and comfort me’
A.t the bottom of a dissociative soul

M.EET WHAT YOU HAVE MADE
E.NOUGH TO LET GO?
T.IME WHISPERED YOUR TRUE NAME
U.NHEARED BY ANYONE.
S.TONES ONCE LAID WITH YOUR FIRE
S.TILL SLOW, WON’T WARM AGAIN.
I.NCENSIVE TRACE PASSED ON TO YOU
N.EVER MORE, FOR NON AGAIN, WILL FUME A FAMILLIAR TRAIL.
G.ONE ALL THIS WAY LOOKING AWAY, AND BACK FROM WHERE YOU’RE GOING
U.BIQUITOUSLY NOW – DESIDERATE!
L.EFT VOID WHEN PAID BACK, WHAT YOU’VE BORROWED
I.N AN EMPTY HEAVEN MADE ONLY FOR THOSE WHO LEAVE THE LIFE FOR TOMORROW

About this poem:
though of what i'm afraid of the most. the only thing that makes me terrified is, that I won't leave anything behind me, and I will be forgoten. That I often run so fast, one time I will not stop. That every minute I lived will have no meaning at all. That when I die, I will not have done anything worth holdin on to, and the heaven I build for myself will be void with nothing to remember, and nothing to look forward to, and it will be only me and everlasting run, just as I'm running through my life now, without a point.Fearless
Fortresses I build around my outer shell to protect the fragile within
Enmeshed in nightmare memories that pull taut and dimple the skin
Assibilate to create the ambiance of primal spine chilling reactions
Releasing the endorphins of supreme control of the sparking friction.
Leveling the body in vertical and horizontal animated balance I freeze
Easing into the attack crouch as I ready to spring from my knees
Seizing the moment of surprise, taking full advantage, forward I press
Surrender? Never! Take no prisoners! We ‘will’ our ‘will’ to fearless!
Enmeshed in nightmare memories that pull taut and dimple the skin
Assibilate to create the ambiance of primal spine chilling reactions
Releasing the endorphins of supreme control of the sparking friction.
Leveling the body in vertical and horizontal animated balance I freeze
Easing into the attack crouch as I ready to spring from my knees
Seizing the moment of surprise, taking full advantage, forward I press
Surrender? Never! Take no prisoners! We ‘will’ our ‘will’ to fearless!

About this poem:
I won a gold trophy for this one.Balanced Polarities
Betwixt and between is where we would walk
Allowing the equilibrium to rock
Listening to the quiet voice within
Answer queries from where we would begin
Necessary deviation from a path we know well
Concealed by the colored paradigms that flavors the tale
Enticing the spirit to pay heed to the mind
Dreaming of a paradise we hope we can find.
Perhaps if and when we look beyond that which fits tight
Overcoming fears of the unknown living in light
Languishing in shadows for the shifting perception
Articulating our diction to ears of conception
Reiterating to reverberate our future pasts
Intricately designed and created by us to be passed
Toward our progeny who sometimes miss the catch
Inwardly wishing that our history could scratch
Entanglements to the dark laws of their fathers
Syncopated chains of secrecy that smothers
Balanced Polarities …
Allowing the equilibrium to rock

About this poem:
An acrostic about balancing our polarities on a personal level as well as a public level.
Stars in Love
Why stars shine bright
Feel so good at night
So where are you now
Alone again somehow
When all in my heart
You know from the start
Could be here for you
Be so right so new
In what I am saying
Love is now arraying
Feel so good at night
So where are you now
Alone again somehow
When all in my heart
You know from the start
Could be here for you
Be so right so new
In what I am saying
Love is now arraying
