Soul Of Dignity


With a sense of self reliance and poise, the self assured woman
moves effortlessly through humanity with a
sense of confidence and strength.
Her once careless spirit is now overflowing
with insightfulness and grace.
With a sense of confidence and beauty,               
she quietly, yet firmly proceeds through time.    
She now understands what it means to exist
with a liberated heart and a soul of dignity.
She has a resilient yet charitable heart,
and the inner beauty that she emanates
truly sets her apart from others
 like a character from a mythical fairytale.
She has now has come to the realization
of how much she needs for herself,
and how much to bestow upon society.
She has risen from the vestiges of despair
and soared to a new place of existence,
unfettered by things that once posed such resistance.
She feels the smoothness of her hands
and ponders at the energy they possess.
She has learned to convey her wants and requests.
She has triumphed over adversity, and overcome hardship
without hesitation or misgiving.
She now lives a life filled with self-esteem.
The one thing she never understood
she now knows to be true.
It all begins and ends with you.

Gemini

Two souls live in me, twins so divine,
walking among the stars
in gloomy darkness, and dazzling light.
You think that you know me,
but you can’t possibly see
past the murky waters of my mind.
Standing in the shadows, watching and waiting,
conscious of all the voices I can hear.

Living inside of my being, wrestling, and jolting me
as if there were electric currents thrusting me
into two worlds of precision and imperfection.

While living precariously on the edge
we follow our natural flow of existence, while
our imagination is unlimited, and often leads our minds astray.
Loving the intrigue and excitement of the chase,
running and bolting until we catch our prey.

Our versatility makes us adaptable to situations,
although, there is a struggle about who will ultimately triumph.
For all my imperfections, I am mere human and flawed.
I smile and swallow a tear as my mind goes numb,                                                
delving into the icy side of change.
Watching the heavenly twins walking among the stars, knowing
we are the yin and the yang, the true
chameleons of the zodiac.

My Reflection In The Mirror




You are my conscience, you are my actuality.
I can’t escape from you since you are my
friend, and simultaneously my enemy.
At times you suffocate and smother me.             

You are my courage and my genuine fear.
It is inescapable and inevitable
that you have the intensity and energy to observe it all.

You are my beauty and my viciousness.
You won’t allow me to hide
or scamper away to my secure place of darkness.

You are my true devotion
and also my misfortune.
Feeling it too, you realize there is no error
or room for judgment.

My deep thoughts penetrate
through my strong voice.
And with the higher power’s guidance
I am able to make the honest choice.

My face presents itself as an imposter,
and from time to time it presents itself
as my authentic one.
The mirror performs its amazing tricks  
since you are me, and I am you.

A Serene Life



When your brain becomes mobile
and the luminous eyes of the serene mind
look down into the hidden depths of your spirit,
you will see the energy vibrant and flourishing
into the tenderness of real love.
As you experience this untainted love,
beams of light will begin to radiate from your center,
for in eternity there is ecstasy.
If you can liberate this glow of love
and allow it to surge through you,
your heart will become light.
The strength will get released into the air
and then, from a place of internal silence,
you will know what its like to be a bird
and to soar into the twilight skies.
Most of all, you’ll understand
what it would be like to be absolutely sane.

Used And Abused


So used and abused she fell to the sidewalk.
Her spirit so defeated, her self esteem washed away with her tears.
No shoes, clothes in tatters, only morsels to eat.
So many walking by, pretending she doesn’t exist.
Dejected, she looks up at me with beseeching eyes.
I see the blood oozing from her arms.
She cuts herself not to feel pain but to feel life.

Jealousy



Jealousy has shrewdness to its face.
It stains the mind, and eats away at your heart and soul.
It consumes you with its slyness, petrifying eyes,
and teeth that will crush your sanity.

It can survive without intelligence and
without compassion.
It eats into the very depths of your moral fiber.

Resentment is like cutting yourself
and waiting for the other person to perish.
It interrupts ones survival, so    
run away from its loathing and harmful ways.

As the monster surfaces,
It will erupt like a volcano,
annihilating everything in its way.
Nothing and no one will be left unscathed.
                                     
Bitterness will never calm your mind until    
it takes you, shakes you, and ultimately gets what it wants.
Rage interrupts ones survival
until it’s able to demolish
and swallow you whole.

His Sinister Twin



His slumber transforms his pain as
he dreams this life actually belongs to him.
His time draws closer as he
awakens from his delusion; but realizes that
wretchedness still surrounds him once again.
He is motionless as he grasps the fact,   
that his brain however is still split in two.
When will he be whole, enclosed within his own awareness?
This terror he realizes, must be brought to a close.
Out of necessity, his wicked twin needs to be slaughtered,
and only then will he have a persona to call his own.

Impressions of Life




Impressions of waves drink voraciously on the shore
The heavens and raging sunset ask intensely for more

Women gyrating their substantial hips
Blood red lipstick smeared over their lips

Men sit in clusters inhaling cigarettes
Whistling at the provocative aggressive brunettes

The prostitutes entice them with their smoldering eyes
Their faces and bodies furtively in disguise

Precocious children cavort in the streets
Treading over each other with their filthy black feet

Buoyancy dances in this familiar ambiance
While this common place image tugs at ones essence

Instinct Promotes Fear






We are born into this world with no fears or feelings of unease.
As we mature we realize how life can obliterate the authentic us.
Our apprehension becomes tangible and real
 as the fear and restlessness overwhelms us.

As we hide our primal desires in the shadows of our existence
we then become resistant to this overpowering
perseverance in letting our intuition become us.
As we age it seems as though we are
embarrassed to use that which protects us from abuse.

However, as the beast of our internalized passion
become more powerful,
the vitality of human nature is revealed;
and only by following our deepest instinct
will our lives  flourish with passion.

If we let our fear of consequence
prevent us from following our genuine gut feeling
it will then take us an eternity  until we can once again
become emotionally resilient.

Consequently after an extended period of time,
we will then become conscious of the fact that in life
our instinct is the authentic pathway to follow.

Mournful Cry Of The Loon





Today is one of those unspoken days and
it feels as though it’s tearing away at the seams of my heart
My senses are totally out of sync with the rest of the world
I have no idea of what I’m thinking and
nothing is in its appropriate setting
Things are slightly off and shifted out of place
Everything feels scorched
along the boundaries of this day
Fire rages within the center of my tormented body
where everything seems off kilter
A day to meander off and in reality to vanish
Something is pulling at me deep inside
towards a bottomless pit
A persistent howl
which instantly reminds me
of the mournful cry of the loon
Today is one of those days which should never have transpired

Envy




Your eyes glower devoid of fluster
I see your greed enclosed within your mind
All and sundry recognize your thoughts
prior to your malicious comments
and cutting deception
Your erratic temperament familiar
is obscured, and lingers
for the right time to strike  
down to the sewer
of unjustified gossip
Achievements of others
delves under your skin
with such devious intent  
 It pilfers the contentment you long to unearth
Incarcerated in a cage of steel   
you shove people away
with a critical eye    
and unpleasant drollness
Perturbing thoughts about all others
keeps you in a place of obscurity
unable to change and develop
into a civilized upright individual
Your liberty, just an intangible dream

A Frenzied World



We have multiplied our possessions
But condensed our morals
We talk too much and hate too often 
We have produced a frenzied world
Where enough will never be enough
We are dismayed with the chase of material wealth
While our restless souls are stifled 
In the parched wilderness of spiritual withdrawal
When will we ever learn that possessions
have destroyed the very essence of our hardened spirits
We are possessed with our possessions
