Masks and Boundaries

Eighth grade brought a boy, a spark,
A clumsy light in the growing dark.
His gaze would stray, and so would hers,
A quiet game without the words.

Not for hunger, just the role,
A mask to shield a restless soul.
Months entwined until the day
He crossed the line, she turned away.

Faith in hand, the rules were clear,
Church’s voice loud in

Premium MemberThe love

Silently, you gaze and cheekily,
and you pretend,
he doesn't look at you,
from gaze of his corners
and his expression
not momentarily
but too a simple wish,
as you blush head down
so silently,
being lovingly
sparks so fly
&  notices
He wishes,
to feel your tease
and cheeks radiantly,
flushing like car fluids,
Dawn's not hung like heads
of a morning hunt
of the prancing rein-deers
being shot for just action,

Take Care of Yourself

Embrace the incredible responsibility of your own life!
Spread kindness, and do good wherever you can.
If someone mistreats you,
remember to walk away and set boundaries.
May the warmth of these thoughts bless you.
May the stars fill you with wonder,
so your days overflow with peace and abundance,
and may the gentle spirit within you cherish our Earth!

If I Could Choose My
Superpower, “Oh
Genie Of The 1001
Lamps… All Lamp Lights…”

It Would Be
Non-Conformity…
Perspectives Are
Hidden Everywhere,
Many Still Absolutely
Unique.

And Because It’s 
An Actual Power,
Nobody Can Say:
“He's One Of Those, 
Or He's One Of These..
We Know That Kind,
Make Sure It's Fixed…”
Because It Is SUPER!
No Need To Fix.

Premium MemberBoundaries blur

When no division remains
and our soul is free from stains,
everything that is beheld,
is within consciousness held.

The pulse of life in space-time,
echoes chords of love’s bliss chime,
wherein as boundaries blur,
dormant nodes begin to stir.

As both subject and object,
magnetism rises unchecked,
held firm at a stillness point,
where light of Self we anoint.

Ascension by cessation
here in body play station,

If by chance we meet again someday,
If desire brings us close once more,
I’ll breathe deeply again at the foot of the mountain,
Smear your gentle gaze across my soul.
I’ll cross treacherous roads—
carefully, ever so carefully.
On a melancholic evening, I’ll go to Silentville.
That day, I will become the

Premium MemberBoundaries of Humanity

The road that we all follow, in the pursuit of mankind,
    Often leads to more questions, that need to be defined.

It's a journey that we seek, even if it is only to find.
    Allowing us to see clearly, not to remain forever blind.

Along the way it can be deafening,

To Walk Beside You

"To Walk Beside You"


I met you in the silence
Between laughter and retreat,
Where fire met still water
And wild hearts dared to meet.

You saw the storm inside me
And called it too much flame,
But it’s the heat that forged my spirit,
Not a thing I’ll ever tame.

You asked for open softness,
For a love that wraps and mends,
But love is

Cracking Glass

Cracking Glass

Your mind fills like a glass
Always taking never ask
Never asking questions and never drawing lines
Never turning forwards, just staring far behind
You crack and break and bend and press
You chase and burn and scratch but yet
Walls crumble and never stand
They’re built of rubble and pure clear sand

You’re pushing and you’re turning
Clear as shiny day
You’re shoving

Boundaries

The man in front of me is a broken one,
and my fingers are drowning in dripping glue,
in cement,
in something meant to hold things
To hold him
To hold myself and others together.
Yet he binds himself
with puppet strings, scotch tape,
and the wet breath of drugs.
Batting at my outstretched
Hands 
Dodging the warmth of a true touch, 
He flinches.
He bleeds-

Cardboard Castles

Cardboard Castles

You came in like thunder—
wild, loud, and sharp with flame.
Eyes like chaos, smile like fire,
never still, and never tame.

We shared a bed when we were small,
built kingdoms out of pillow forts.
You held my hand in quiet dark,
and we survived in whispered sorts.

But life came fast, and you let go—
chose smoke and speed, the chase,

Boundaries

Stretching the limits,

I have come to admit,

You just grow tired of it.

The exhilaration you get,

Wears thin after a minute,

As you start getting used to it.

No longer feeling lit,

You see the same old skit,

Forming a habit.

Chasing the rabbit,

You just gotta have it,

And go get some more.

Feeling tired and sore,

No more need to explore,

You sit in shame

Premium MemberBoundaries of Possibilities

The boundaries of possibilities 
Show that there are realities 

Beyond which your senses can perceive 
And by which your heart can believe 

Which means your life’s situation 
Can achieve a radical transformation 

If you suspend your fears and doubts 
And allow yourself what it’s about 

Then your thoughts and your feelings 
Will bring satisfaction that
