The Waves of your Volcanic Fireworks

The essence of your volcano, 

burns away

all that you no longer need, 

purifying you 

for

 new lands,

new travels,

new adventures.

It won't burn you, 

unless you resist 

the new life, 

that it wants to give you.

The wind blows it all away,

let it give you fresh air to Breathe.

The ice, and frost, and rain cleanses you,

refreshing your shiny beauty.

The hurricanes and tornadoes bring you

back to you,

to your life. 

Standing in front of the tsunami, 

learn to swim 

to save your own life, 

and 

ride the waves! 

They only serve you...take the lessons they give you.

And pay the price

for a life

of freedom. 

Let the lightning pierce you, 

and the thunder wake you

for action. 

The Heavens,

the oceans,

the land.

the ether

all call your name now. 

See those fireworks?

Those are for you. 

Your celebration calls you!

Feel your beating heart on fire.

Save

For the lost can never be found,
                                               if they don't want to be found.

Everyone's loss is their own,
                                          and we have no right to take their lessons from them.

Just be present,
                       and have love for your own loss.

You cannot Save anyone,
                                      but your-self.

Like sinking ships,
                           we will fall,
                                            and we will excavate our losses.

Reset the Steps you Dance

One step forward.

Two steps back.

Forever and ever;

We stop.

We start.

We reverse.

To let go,

is to leave

the game.

Dance your waltz,

           your tango.

One step forward.

Two steps back.

To your

new

  reset button.

The Saddest Song for the Saddest Day

Your musical note

-struck-

a

low ebb

and all of a sudden,

the tears came

flooding

out of

this dam.

The saddest note 

waited

so long

to be heard,

by 

you and me,

and 

forgotten humanity,

for,

if we cannot 

handle our sadness,

we will not be able to

handle our happiness. 

Slipping through our fingers,

we die

slowly.

Drifting away 

from the music

that is playing

in the ballroom of our lives.

Time for a new ballroom,

a new song,

a new dance.

A high musical note.

The Midnight Hour

Sleep elusive. 

No longer needing

to hide

from me.

No lullaby

and 

I need one 

now.

A song, a lullaby

to sweeten

      my night,

             my soul.

Walk into the night with me.

It's not as dark

as you imagine.

Rush Away Your Broken Time

What would it take
for you,

to slow down
and just be?


Not to rush away
the milliseconds
of your life,

that hasn't been given
to you, yet?


But to exist
in its wholeness.

however imperfect,
however broken,

that is to your mind?

Take me to your holy place
                  your Caledonia.

The Embodiment of Possibility

She said,

that Kofi

was

the Embodiment of Possibility.

A child

who had known some 

of the darkest 

and 

deepest

depths of human slavery. 

For him

to rise 

above it all, 

to overcome

the pain,

is the miracle. 

To forgive
a past,
that tried to break him.

How a child can know that love is stronger,
when adults don't want to know,
is bravery.

Forget your swords.
They are of no use to you,
where you are going. 

The war is over.

See your life with love,
and
have the heart
to see others with love.

No matter what they do or say.

Go beyond the faces,
and
become
the
Embodiment of Possibility.

If love has a price,
is it worth it? 

No bravery for love...

Love unravels me,

constantly. 

To have 

any sense 

of self 

is futile,

when I know

that 

the only thing

that is constant 

in my life,

is that

of cathartic 

experiences. 

Experiences,

that will drive me to tears

break me

and 

shake me, 

leaving me 

naked and defenseless , 

regardless 

of the 

elements involved. 

Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn..

Who cares? 

Rain, snow, sunshine...

Sometimes,

I wish that 

I didn't have to carry so much.

Why does Love trust me so much to carry its message? 

I don't feel that brave, after all.

Give me my wings,
before I fall. 

Peeling The Layers

Peeling back the blue sky, 

all is revealed.

Your losses are mine,

even though I had given up 

a long time ago. 

Paying a debt,

paying with my guilt,

paying with my life. 

Working to peel

away the layers,

that keep me from 

my truest self. 

Like a snake,

we will shed our skin, 

and

never, ever,

be the same again.

Hand-Me-Down World.

We Do Not Inherit the Earth from Our Ancestors; We Borrow It from Our Children

When she asks you,
                             ''Why did you give me a Hand-Me-Down world?''
What will you say?
                              That you had no control,
                               that you were powerless,
                               that it was ''Them'' who made you do it.

When he asks you,
                               ''Why did you give me a Hand-Me-Down world?
What will you say?
                                That you loved your Jeep so much,
                                 that you didn't know how to keep the waters of the earth clean,
                                 that you couldn't live without your laptop.

What will you do,
                              when they feel the sadness and the anger,
of having to live in a world
                               that is falling apart around them?

Our ice is melting,
                               and we just continue on,
as if nothing is happening.

Is that really the gift we wish to leave our children,
                    the example we wish to be for them?

When the little girl and the little boy ask you,
                                                                  ''Why did you give me a Hand-Me-Down world?
What will you say?
                                                                    What will you do? Now?
                                     

Sunday Daze-Moon Love

My Sunday daze,

making me float away. 

Sun and moon 

joining together.

Holding hands

for the first time. 

I am lost in You.

On a Monday,

they take me away.

Because they have not seen

what I have

seen.

Fill my cracks 

with 

gold and silver. 

When something is broken,

make it your beauty again.

Make it whole again. 

A Breakdown for a Breakthrough

For my beautiful friend, Sile.

Thank you for your friendship and inspiration. 

Living the Dream!

The potential

for a breakdown

is just

 as strong 

as 

the potential

for a breakthrough. 

In that fog of flow,

you will lose your way, 

yet 

it is only in getting lost,

do you find

the treasure that you really sought. 

Become a space-holder

for you. 

For the internal 

matters

as much

as the

external

that breaks you. 

And 

I hope you see

that your vulnerability 

is your strength. 

And like a tree,

you can bend and flow with the storm,

rather than 

staying rigid and breaking.

Even when

no-one sees the storms that you weather,

let them see

the vulnerability,

that opens you up 

to the depth of growth. 

For life was not meant to be this superficial loneliness. 

Take it to the Limit!

Breathless 

to the limit

Just go,

you can always fly back

to me. 

I have never left you

and,

I could never leave you.

Ever.

Fly.

There are so many miles 

to travel.

 Are you counting?

Go explore

the heights and depths,

and sacred spaces. 

Anima and animus

are calling

for balance.

For love. 

A New Language

Move in a way

that opens you.

Sit.

Walk. 

Run. 

Feel the lost parts

of you

speak their own language,

of 

sadness,

of

being forgotten,

of

feeling lonely in your own skin.

Move

through it all

to your light,

at the end

of the tunnel. 

And 

when you wonder

how on earth you made it this far,

and

never gave up, 

remember,

you moved through it all, 

like a child

willing to feel their pain,

and 

letting it all go 

for the next best thing. 

Learn the language that your body speaks. 

Vulnerable in You

Vulnerable

in your space,

I break, 

 for good or bad. 

You tear me down.

You wear me down. 

Why do I let you make me feel like this? 

In my psyche 

somewhere,

I must not trust

ME. 

And that is the worst heart-break of all. 

Losing my space,

        my life,

in your name. 

For the Love of Me, 

I must die again,

to my karma. 

To Die For

How much can you die for?

When you broke in,

you never said goodbye. 

How much will you take

in the name of You? 

Because,

it was only ever about 

You. 

Why should anyone else matter? 

Where the waters meet...

Where the waters meet,

is 

where 

you find your direction. 

Follow

the currents;

the ebb and flow,

of your feeling. 

If 

you cannot trust yourself,

ask yourself;

''What would someone who loved themselves Do? ''

If 

you cannot trust yourself,

If 

you cannot love yourself, 

then who can you trust and love? 

The Dreams of Two Fishes

Dreamland 

is calling

to the never-ending heart

of Pisces. 

Dwell 

in my

golden sands

and 

the deepest blue oceans

of Neptune. 

The Sandman comes 

to mind your dreams 

as

you let go. 

Just let go. 

Let Neptune 

release you from all

the delusions

and 

open your magic heart. 

You never needed anything or anyone else

to make you

who you are. 

No Cage for our Freedom

She held your hand,

tighter than tight. 

Clenching hearts 

are not able 

for 

this uncertainty. 

Detach

for my freedom. 

In my heart of hearts, 

I can only fly,

when 

I am free to love.  

And when,

I am free to fly. 

Be only you 

in your world. 

Your love is 

and can never be,

a bird in captivity.

All Over Now

All over now.

One man's love

is

another man's pain. 

Which is mine

and 

 which is yours?

Loving your soul 

but 

 losing mine.

It's a long day,

and

I am so tired.

The song that inspired this piece. Enjoy. :)

Falling

Pulling me in

there is no safety net,

in the places

that you bring me to. 

No lock on my door

to keep you from entering,

you hold a key

that I don't even have. 

Even when my mind

only sees an obstacle,

it no longer exists

in your time. 

Why do I struggle

with 

all of this?

Just take it.

Drop me from the sky
into
your vacuum,
your soul. 

Chiron the Centaur

Exposing the wound,

Chiron,

my wounded healer,

stirs inside me. 

Sunlight

shining

on

my skin.

Oh,

to be loved,

for all of who I am.

Keep smiling,

my sweet child. 

Softly now,

run for your joy. 

I Hope You Dance

You still have everything.

Open your eyes.

I know you can't see it right now.

But,

I beg you.

Please, please,

open your eyes,

open the magic crystal

inside your heart. 

She cries for you.

Please,

don't break a heart. 

Everything I know is breaking.

A helpless witness

to your

heartbreak.

And I just cannot keep picking up the pieces. 

I need to close my eyes now,

and

cry myself to sleep. 

I only hope that you can dance. 

Tears in the Womb of Life

I feel my Tears.

And they love me so.

Surrender to loss.

And Love falls for me.

Fragile weakness

only becomes

my strength.

Adulthood makes no sense

to the child who always learns

Life.

Time for the Phoenix

Your day has only just started. 

All of these seconds are yours. 

Watching the clock

moving,

waiting for the death of that 

you no longer want,

in your life. 

While you are waiting,

close your dreamy hazel eyes, 

and 

use your magic,

use your words,

use your imagination,

and

use your feeling,

for the new world.

Like the phoenix,

we die,

and 

are re-born. 

We are never the same

at any moment 

in time. 

Choices

Dancing in the shadows.

Finding our feet,

our way forward. 

How do we want to live our lives? 

Treasure the choices you have,

and those you have yet

to discover. 

For many never knew, 

and still don't know,

that they, too,

have choices. 

How do we enslave ourselves? 

How do we limit ourselves?

How can we love ourselves more? 

A Mountain Inside

I am ready now. 

I opened the door

and 

climbed those stairs.

A Mount Everest

in my dying heart. 

Now,

it doesn't hurt

so much.

Anymore. 

Feeling freedom.

On top of my world. 

These peaks are mine.

I have conquered all of them. 

Ice

My Ice is melting.

When the Winter came, 

everything Froze.

Within.

I tried to Break the Ice.

Failed.

Again.

A New Year is Coming

to help me now.

It's all melting;

as if by Magic.

I can smile again.

A Child's Burden

Placing the burden on my shoulders,

when you know

that cross was not mine

to carry,

to bear,

was not an option.

Yet,

that is what you did.

To still impose that

on my soul,

on a child,

is a crime.

To do this

more than once,

is no longer an option.

What belongs to you

is yours.

Not mine.

Time for my wings to open up and fly.

Surrender

Out of my depth, 

I know

in my soul,

the things I cannot hide from,

the knowledge I cannot deny. 

And there comes a time,

when learning how to swim 

is the only option. 

The drill reached the depths,

to see beneath the surface,

exposing my heart

to all my pain. 

Be like a waterfall. 

Dive in and surrender. 

You can never hide 

your true nature.

Into the Light

Rest in my darkness.

Because,

it is the only thing 

that holds us together. 

An open wound 

allowed

the light to come in. 

Before my mind

even comprehended

the invasion. 

Now, I have no choice,

except 

to keep walking forward.

Into the light,

guiding my steps,

He holds my hands. 

A Life Worth Living

Light dancing, 

holding the space

for your heart,

for your existence,

to feel its soul,

the reason it came into

this being. 

Fill me up with all you know,

all that I am

loving to know,

and yet,

so very afraid of. 

Because, 

I know,

I will never be able to come back to this place again

once I know. 

Change and transformation

are the only promises,

and there is no net,

to catch me,

when I fall...if I fall. 

Only love to hold me,

as I climb my mountain. 

Hopeful and afraid,

living in two places

at once. 

What scares me more

is not to live at all... 

Cold and Broken

As you slept, you never saw my fear.

You never even saw me look. 

Awake, yet 

on another planet. 

And I don't exist 

on this planet.

Irrelevant 

in your world,

until you decide 

when it's convenient 

for me, 

to be relevant,

to you. 

A cold heart,

sapping me.

Just go back to your world. 

Now. 

Moon Child

Head spinning,

energy 

running around

my being. 

Out of focus.

The moon

shows

me

my deepest secrets. 

''Come up, come up,''

she says,

enticing me 

 into 

her bosom. 

''Release

all that pains you,

child.'' 

Let the rain,

let the thunder,

let the lightning,

clear

all of you, 

all you cry about,

all that makes you want to die. 

''Soon, child,''

she says. 

Feel my stillness,

feel my light,

feel my love 

for you.

Because

you are my only. 

My heart beats only for you. 

Even if it breaks

every night

in my dreams. 

Almost Precious

What makes your world go around?

You can love

and

you can laugh.

When push comes to shove,

what really makes your world

go around?

Name your precious, like a snowflake that is unique, but melts and falls in love with itself all over again. 

The Tree of Life

Just know that when she held your hand,

she gave you all

she ever had. 

Here,

in this moment,

You are the One. 

It all matters,

what you do now. 

Are you willing?

Are you able? 

Are you present for your gift?

She is waiting with her wings.

And yours...

And Trust is all it ever takes to fly. 

Understand Life

The music played. 

Took a step back in time. 

''Do the waltz with me'', he said. 

 She touched his hand. 

And fell,

into the void,

into a world,

beyond what

minds 

can conceive of.

The rain fell

into

the hearts of all.

The little seed

started

to grow. 

Touch deep inside. 

Will you?

Standing on the cliff,
are you ready to fall?

When it's your chance to fall for yourself,
will you do it?

Will you fall in love with yourself?
