Premium MemberI Can't Live Without You


I can't live without the oxygen I breathe
          I would die without this air in my lungs
I can't live without the water I need
          Oh for just one drop on my tongue
How did I make it this

PINK FLOYD SAID

songer.co/song/qejo3vwk1y2cs4pntmnrhg0q

[Verse 1]
Pink Floyd said,
“All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.”
Do you believe it?
How can that be?
A world in which there
Are no dreams,
Where everything
Is only as it seems—
Was Pink kidding me?
If God is dead
And dreams don’t exist,
If love’s a farce
Then I’m set adrift…
It's hard to breathe,
I got to breathe.

[Chorus]
'Cause I

Premium MemberPoetry Soupris

Poetry soupris
Soupris being French for sighs
And we all breathe them
At different times in our lives

We breathe them in relief
And maybe in our sleep
Exhaled after we've railed
Against the nightly thief

Poetry soupris
Potato soupris served cold
Alphabet soupris
Spelled out in the bowl

Sighs of relief
Sighs that matter
Sighs of release
In thoughts that scatter

(Carole Landis
"The sigh heard round the world"
Only Twenty-nine

Roots That Breathe Within My Heartbeat

Roots That Breathe Within My Heartbeat

At every step, 
their shadow guides me,
My father, steady as an oak in the breeze,
my mother, tenderness in all that feeds.

Their hands wove the thread of my fate, 
with patience, love, and a steady gait. 
Though time may rush and the world may spin, 
my heart always flows back to

Passage

If you can breathe through it

You can get through it

If you can get through it

You can rise

 

If you can breathe through it

You can see your way through it

If you can see your way through it

You can fly

 

If you can breathe through it

You can push through it

If you can push through it

You can begin…again

One inhale of the slow breath 
can reduce stress and calm nerves.  
It can help you reach new heights 
of enlightenment, ... try it !
Inner stillness and peace arise 
when one is feather breathing.
Go ahead, Inhale * Exhale !

THE OTHERSIDE

There's always the otherside
of something so beautiful
somehow, it always finds me
Crashing like a storm
Drenching me with sorrow
Slamming me back to the place
I hardly belong
Pull me out
Bring me peace
It's too much chaos here
I cannot breathe...

Premium MemberI Breathe You In: 300

As the ethereal guitar mesmerises
My soul responds
As if I dipped into a melodic bath
Of perfectly curated
Lovingly tempered 
Heart massaging
Candle flickering 
Water 

A fragrant tune invades 
My nostrils 
Flaring as the warm
Moistened air tumbles by
The world merges into
Perfection
Harmony
Stirring

The resonance
Of childhood memory
Percolating through the mist
As sliding strings 
Caress my ears
My mind drifting
Towards that past
Safer place

Yet this mesmerising

Soul Elixir

Gratitude, a mental notion,
The soul’s healing potion
A daily habit, a practice so true
Seeding joy and peace anew.

With thankful heart and focused mind,
A world of blessings our heart to divine.
Every moment, major or minor,
Is a chance to make the practice finer

Sunrise, sunset, or firmament of stars,
Laughter, tears, even healing scars.
The birds that sing and clouds that

Breathe!

I know you have stopped and listened
To the words hurled at you
From both your loved ones and strangers
Lies that when believed became true

Don’t lie and tell me you haven’t
We’ve all been there at least once,
When everyone around you points and whispers
Daggers that go straight for the heart

I know for a fact you’ve felt it
The feeling

Premium MemberMy house is a living organism, with wooden veins and brick hearts that breathe stories

My house is a living organism, with wooden veins and brick hearts that breathe stories,
The cracks in the walls are lifelines, maps of hidden worlds,
The white ceiling is my inner sky, where clouds of thoughts float in silence,
The white paint is a canvas where memories dance in unseen colors,
The dust in the corner is the

Premium MemberLearning to breathe again

When your life is ripped apart by loss,
each minute seems to last a lot longer
and it takes great concentration to do basic
human tasks that should come naturally

learning to breathe again without paying
specific attention to filling your lungs with air
and pushing it out again, takes so much
 out of you when your world tilts on it's
