The ultimate spiritual person never felt emotional pain.
He endured pain with ease and released into outer atmosphere.

We absorbed negative power from negative experience.
Our goal is activating higher self and controlling the emotional pain....

In my life, all pain has been like appendicitis. 

I decided to avoid Dad when newborn and crib laid; I'd heard 
his authoritative voice as aimed towards my toddler Brother, 
noted the noise ended with smack sounds and crying. By the 
time I was seven,...

this threshold of emotional pain
kept within the upper torso of us 
all,
is like a detonator 
waiting to go off,
waiting to shut us down,
waiting to send us running amok

Only the outline I traced in the halls,
A whisper of denim and shy glances,
A ghost who smiled too politely.

I live life as an emotional sayer,
but should I now reveal each layer
my blood will spill upon this paper.

I have sought to give life tender smiles
while enduring heart wrenching trials.
I have glued events...

In shadowed depths where silence wraps its cloak,
My heart, once strong, now aches in quiet plea,
For love’s lost light, a fading, gentle smoke,
Has left me cold and longing to be free.

You came like dawn, a promise of the spring,
But left me caught in winter’s cruel...

I am that night which is full of darkness,

Neither the moon is my companion, nor the stars have any existence.

Every corner cries a story inside me,

But no one listens, everyone waits for the morning.

I have cold sobs in my lap,

Shadows of broken dreams.

People say I...
