Affirmations seem popular
attempting to manifest reality
peril being of ego seeking
boon as bane causing fatality
Unless with the conscience
we be in tranquil alignment
ego borne cravings & urgings
bring suffering & discontentment
Such is the divine paradox
that whilst we may co-create
we must do so in loving surrender
detached and in stillness sedate

To care,
A peculiar notion isn’t it?
An envelope of warmth,
A hand ghosting a shoulder
As you mutter the musical lull.
Or spit daggers to the opposing
To care,
To shred your beating heart
Into tiny bloody fragments,
Scattering them like confetti over anyone
Who dares enter the party of your mind.
To care,
To bang your fists against their walls
Until you bleed out from your self-inflicted wounds
As you watch them trample those fragile,
Fluttering fragments under foot.
To care,
To care for self,
To hold those glittering jewels
Like a poker player with cards abreast.
A twisted self-preservation and the path to emptiness,
Alone.
But I’d rather care,
I’d rather love, rather live, rather break.
Because to care is to have purpose
And give meaning to that beating heart.
