The Truth

I have heard it is built with absolutes. I beg to differ, why not? There is past and there is future. Though the future may be indistinct, it is something tangible and inevitable. The past is what is in the history books, tales of all manner of creatures of course. And, lest we forget, living visionaries. Each tale revealing its own salient truths, for all men and women alike. So what is the truth? Can we not just rest in the present, the now? Believe that now, is the culmination of everything that happened in the past. No matter what history books we read. Believe that the future will be a culmination of everything past and now, more importantly now, for we have the great power to change ‘the now’. The reality we know will certainly be close to truth, if not the truth itself.
We dote on our past accomplishments and strive toward future endeavors. But when we have a cathartic moment in ‘the now’; do we, my friend, appreciate it? When a moment arises for us to recognize our very essence and that of something greater, do we appreciate it? Will you taste it and find relief? I will. Yes, the glory in our current victory. I say, will you indulge these thoughts? Granted time is too short to ruminate and this is by no means ‘wise’, but will you retain suspended disbelief and indulge what I impart?
My truth is an abstract and a construct of my own mind, it will not be changed nor will I be pressured by forces around me. I see the future as surely as I have experienced the past, shaping my perspective and giving me the ability to be bold.
Our ‘truths’ are merely what we as individuals see them to be. Some may say our truth is an ‘opinion’ but I wager to say no, it can be harsh and not always congruent with what we feel. My truth is more.
I see it in the blue of a clear summer’s day and I taste in the salty water of the ocean. No question, I experience it as I walk over drops of dew at dawn on freshly cut grass.
You too will hear yours in the chirping of crickets at the dead of night, as if they sing out in reverence to what is your truth. Believe it as surely as you can touch the soil beneath your feet and know you are on solid ground.
Close your eyes now, take that all away, open up to every physical sense that you have and accept your truth. For that indeed is wisdom. You are insightful and aware to the nth degree. Do not be overcome by doubt which abounds in depths of your subconscious and what we are told to be facts. You and I should not be swayed so easily.

The Fear - Threat of Doom

I have conjured you into existence and now, you are a raging tempest in my mind’s eye. I shudder at the mere thought of you and your embrace... Will you lay waste to my whimsical heart’s content?

Though I wonder in and out of states of dazed confusion… I still keep reaching through the violent winds of change that knocks me to and fro. My soul is the left shaken by your swift flooding of my being… How can I overcome that which is not seen with my rose tinted vision? For my stricken eyes are not as they once were, instead I envision and feel your figure close to mine and it is blinding and binding.

What say you, beautiful melancholic creature of my own making? I wish to have respite from you… I will be free… I want to be set free from these furious shackles around which I am bound

Somebody To You

There are moments… when I cannot escape the thought of you.

You have invaded my peaceful state of being and I am found wanting as try to evade you. We could be but another story that was not told, no one remembering us; however I want to remember you, so I have created this time capsule for us. Remembering induces injury to my being because all I want to be, all I have ever wanted to be... is somebody to you. I wonder whether you will let me.

I would rather be somebody to you than the great love of someone else’s life. You have become somewhat of the expression of quizzical in my mind, never ending questions and I have no answers… except this… This deep affection has no boundaries or limitations. If it were so, it would all be for nothing. 

I am here… waiting… to be somebody to you.

Senses

She pervades and unveils all that I have kept hidden for so long
I do not know her but I hear her voice in and around my mind
It is weightless and I know she wills it in sound with ease
She is harmony, a beauty I would be so favoured to find

The friendly nudge at my side when I need it most
I do not know her but I feel her on my skin magically without touch
She engenders love innocently in all she does 
It is a glow around her that is infectious and unrivalled by much

Her soul is saved for me and her gaze meets mine softly as does the sun at dusk
I do not know her but I see her eyes piercing mine 
Without force nor resistance there is a wild and untainted kinship forged
She is a reflection that light overrides darkness, a sign

Her essence is the burst of aromas that fill the air around me 
I do not know her but I taste the very air she breathes so tangibly
It is crisp and light without a hint or trace of impurity
A fresh tonic to heal, to restore and to strengthen vigorously 

As if I wonder and follow her, unaware yet willingly
I do not know her but I smell her presence in rooms she has visited
A remnant I could not mistake for any other if I tried
There is something to be said for peace so beautiful and unlimited 

Have you ever tasted the air in such a way as to be swept away by it?
I dare to say I have and yet quietly here I sit 
How strange are these things that unequivocally bind me to her? 
I dare not think on it, for rationality will not explain what is and what will occur
In spite of total darkness between our paths and the questions I have  
I sense I will know her because once paths cross, we will reach out half and half

An Eternal Vow

Give me something I that I can hold on to
If I am to lose you now
My heart will implode from desperate sorrow
We promised to be there though to the end, it was an eternal vow

Can you stay? We know we need each other more than ever
I would have you close to protect and always keep you
But you’re slipping away and changing, that hurts the most
You’re not mine however, so what am I to do

It breaks my spirit to have you not know my heart
I should have told you how I still feel it all
You need to know how this wrecks me endlessly
I put up my guard yet over and over in love, I continue to fall

All the shoulds, coulds and woulds
And the past that I can’t change, that is what I would in a second trade
I trust you most and I think of you incessantly
But I find you fading away, what a mistake I have made

You drift closer to the end of your days to leave me behind
Sadness fills me because I cannot follow and time was wasted
Why was I afraid to put my heart in your hands?
Now I cannot be with you and my despair at that cannot be overstated

You look right through me as you lay resting in your bed
It is you I need the most and you know
You have been all I wanted all this while
And today I cling to your hand, as my love continues to grow

When you are gone, I will remember your smile
I will crave your bright glow
Your aura that is irreplaceable and I will find it in no other
I will think of you forever and for all my days it will show

Confessional At Midnight

They say our youth is fulminantly dysfunctional yet we thrive and celebrate as one
The air teaming with spontaneous, burgeoning laughter;
A sign of uncompromising resolve to be unique yet together as we drink.
Perplexed, they ask, what is it that we are all after?

Is it the mutual understanding that madness is sanity?
That there are no limiting factors?
That we cannot compromise on our freedoms?
Surely... they sense this and know it matters.

For these hours we forget the ruin resulting from the crass way of the world.
Purposefully 'mistaking' friendship for flattery.
Dis-inhibition, at its brilliant best,
dances between heavy eyes and bright melancholy.

There are mixed emotions, along with the notion of forgotten trysts.  
Our bodies scream out heavy infidelities.
Yes... the best deceptions are won when staring into 'innocent' eyes. 
Why pretend to recall forgotten memories?

Dear heart, be whole; dear mind, be quiet.
Let me not be ruined to win the 'good fight'.
Let us not pretend to be saints, when we are sailors?
Oh... the false stories borne from premature judgement, right? 

As the clocks reflect the twilight hours,
Let us not hide in the places we have come to fear the most.
Break convention;
Be free and boast!

Serendipitous Memories

There is a special place for you 
ever in my mind.
Though you consume it all, in that place 
you have fashioned an impregnable fortress.
A quarter filled with lasting 
and sacred notions of you.
It is charged with endless depth of emotion and your grace.
A unique realm, it is fit for you alone and at that I regress.

I search the world over to find another you; 
someone to capture me in the self-same way.
I am, in that regard, silent and try not to confess 
that you are like the wind that relentlessly blows.
My efforts to rearrange 
those pervading memories are futile.
Stubborn, I try not succumb. I am pressed to dress 
that which is indelible and unmistakably shows.

I find my will defying me; 
it wrestles me to no end for you. 
Why, mind of mine, do to cling 
to one that did not stay?
For you came in my yesteryears, 
thus possibly a fantasy that remains.
Yet in reverie, I dote and sing 
wishing for you never to grey.

It is an incongruous mystery 
that shatters my beliefs to the core.
Contradictory to nature, I am chased true 
to find a visage of you.
My thirst for which can singularly 
be met by your presence.
Serendipitous memories will be your legacy; this I always knew.
They are akin to white light of sun rays that remains after night's dark hue.

The Wait In Every Vowel

A Angel, I’ve spent every waking day without you thinking about a day that
we will never be apart, a time, when these days will be but forgotten
memories. The moon will wax and wane as we draw breathes, everyday
building up to that one day, when you my love will be mine.

E Eventually, you’ll know me and I will you. When you look at me, you will
see me for me. There will be no erring of your thoughts. You will not ask
why we have met because you have seen me in your mind’s eye and
know that in this you cannot falter. This is no error.

I I will love you till I dance at deaths door and beyond. You will hear the
clouds as they roll by and feel the wind on your cheek and know that it is
me. There is no time and no matter that could ever separate me from
you. For I have waited for you and you waited, unwaveringly, for me.

O Overjoyed is how I feel when I think of you, yet you ruin for the world.
You pervade my every thought, stealing me from the now, and one day
you will know it give me your crimson smile. Unrivaled by any other.

U Undoubtedly, I will find you and I will not forget. I have the fervor to
continue and though your love and light seem to evade me, I can feel you
drawing near. So I will not be disheartened, no I will find other ways to
pass the time.

My hope is that someday you will see this work and revel in it, and know it was meant to find you. That it is still meant for you.

Friendship Insecure

First, we believe in the each other,
but odds are that misconstrued whispers would play tricks... 
Taunt
Dawn breaks as we flounder in the misery of our thoughts 
Letting go of reality, struggling to reclaim it from the sun... 
Gaunt 

Sleeping and waking 
Dreaming of expressions blank on faces
Missing the point of conversations 
Insecure, we are haunted in our respective places  

Forget not the days of innocence 
before we questioned such a beautiful concept 
The idea of unbreakable bonds
Now seems so overtly insane to have kept

Fly away dear companion
Jump the clouds 
Find freedom from me 
Touch down on distant dust mounds 

Forget if you must
be absent in body, spirit and mind
Trust only these things 
I still believe, am present and leave no friend behind

Stuck

Living in the revolving continuum 
We watch life with open eyes 
Everything means something if you embrace it?
How can we abide by these irresponsible lies? 

The truth… we are all afraid 
Afraid to sing to the ones we love
Love the ones we hate
And hate the way we try to rise above

But life shows no signs of stopping 
It will mess with our forever
We will buckle and bend 
Call me somber now and ever 

Being hit side on by something irrepressible 
Screaming and shouting without voice 
However, belief is yours to have and to hold 
That is what you have... no choice
