YOU!

 Never have I felt so powerful
as when I've pointed the finger in the other direction.
Pride and self righteousness
paved my way toward heaven now
you, with your small minded,  crooked stance
you, could never climb to the glorious height which I have reached
until hems begin to unravel,
stains blotted beyond repair
shattered glass
a window on the stair 
how could I become so shallow, so crass
to not see my very own helix path
in time the finger came back 
it was me who was it's target now
small curled up ball
painful insight bled
into my very walls
shivering reflection
I am aware
of my own self deception
the desire of heart felt compassion 
could be cultivated by none other than me
myself, I,
construct
and breathe
pursual of midnight dreams

Wounded Warriors

 
I found myself hiding from life
As an army of false narratives paved the way
I fervently clung to illusions and lies
Now, I quiet my steps, to hear the song of the birds.
slowing my pace, haunted by unforgotten words
Actions driven deep, sharp pains, 
A venemous residue as society clutches ever so tightly
to the trauma of our past
We have all walked upon glass, as our Ancestors burials
were meant to erase injury without pardon
a complex world
and as we evaluate what now lies before us
Unforgiving
but in the deepest recess of our collective memory
we shall come to see that the very nature of humans
can also be, kind and nurturing
and so it must be, for this is 
humanities gargantuan Last Stand.

"please try again"

they've hung up, long before the conversation has ended

conclusions drawn like curtains, hearing only what they believe was said

one sided worlds 

waiting for their turn, to sprawl their garbaje over your lawn

yet this hardcore disconnection, was no fault of their own

long stretches of time

isolation hibernating within their soul 

they had lost all notion of the eloquent endeavor 

of appealing to exterior needs

shades drawn, lights dimmed

their very souls clung fast 

to their safely constructed vision of reality

In spite of all yearning for human closeness, 

twas that very nature,

that harboured a 20 foot high meticulous iron wall 

mystery their shroud

embraced by the warmth, 

of their well known comfort zone.

Today

 
 
 
 hoy, 
siento una gran tristeza
y la tristeza la dejé caer.
Mis entrañas pidiendo limosna,
mordiscos de amor,
por su bienestar.
Acepté esta tristeza
con un entrega completa, con absoluto tranquilidad...
cuidandome,  mimandome.
Reconociendo, este parte de mí
con una aparencia de fragílidad tremenda
pero por debajo vive 
una gran forteleza
por reconocer
todo 
lo que soy

pour toi

 
 

 
Le temps qu'ils disent peut être notre allié ou notre ennemi
Je peux seulement dire que maintenant,
J'aime le prendre en sentant lentement chaque instant qui passe
Cela fait si longtemps que l'inspiration m'a échappé, 
peut-être n'est-ce qu'un changement de marée, un changement de vent
 
Time they say can be our ally or our enemy
I can only say that now,
I like to take it slowly, feeling each passing moment
It's been so long since inspiration has eluded me, 
maybe it's just a change of tide, a change in the wind...

Healing

 

there has been a war inside me
it's raged on far too long
My reaactions to life are tightly engrained
and I see now the battle that lies ahead
I clench my teeth, and stop my breath
yet I know,
there's something more to this 
quite simply it may be, 
that I do things opposite of how they could be done.
This pattern I shall alter...
listening to myself, 
take my time to breathe.
Mustering up my faith 
as I witness it all unwind.
