Juan Paco Pedro De La Mar
why were you mean to me
i was so ing hot
i lost my sexual power
to your perfect ginger dick
i am not going to be what you want me to be
i am not the lost tortured small woman who gives you power
the scent of my flower self has been washed out
but something new is coming
made of waterfalls, campfires, king size beds
i can feel it on the horizon of my soul
a fresh brightness of joy and rain
a paloma sweetened with honey syrup
you surprise me with a message after all this time
i really appreciate you letting me know you still love me
go ahead and think about me
i want to cry to taylor swifts shake it off
it feels good *******
"The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun”
Dweller of our heart
A sun went out, a silent, sudden night,
and left a shadow where once there was light,
For in our chests, a solar flame still burns,
A borrowed heat that twists and gently turns.
The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun,
And so your light, though gone from sight and sound,
Is now a warmth within this hallowed ground.
You live in me, a dweller in the core,
A part of fire I am now and evermore.
Though earth received what was your final form,
You shine within, and keep my spirit warm.

by Unseeking Seeker
Sun is the center of the universe, the main source of light
Designed by our Heavenly Creator, with all His power and might
For He, our God is the light and in Him, no darkness at all
His Light was made to generate the sun’s life-sustenance role
And dwelt in every soul when He gave life to us, His people
To be good stewards of His creations, so in sins we won’t fall.
Essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun
Missioned to make our life God’s reflection to others…shine!
For He, our God is the light and in Him, no darkness at all
Created in His image, like Him with the sun, we’re so beautiful!
Holy Spirit is God’s dwelling light in us, giving hope like sunrise
Glows at sunset through prayers, tomorrow is a blest surprise!
"The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun.”
Like a gold coin you sit inside me as I transcend
closer than the heart closer than the soul
chakra of old
faint steady light
Helios orb of fire
daystar ...
I journey on and you light my inner path
you shine like a beacon, in the thick of night...
Like the golden sun when it blazes like a yellow diamond
in the middle of a lovely summer afternoon
you are a cut above the rest !
Inside me you radiate and fill me with inner strength
"Manipura"
lustrous gem that you are,
you are the jewel of my solar plexus !
You are the sun that lives in me,
the light that never fades
You give me a strong sense of self and you never abandon me.

Dweller of Our Heart
I can’t hear its crackle or sizzle. What am I?
Swaddled in the all-encompassing wisdom
of light; it burns slow. I develop: a seed to die.
My eyes move as my head spins around the world.
There are only so many spaces my foot will land;
not on the moon; moonbeams in my burnt-orange hair.
Warm-blooded rays reach out and touch; skin to skin.
I illuminate someone else’s countenance with my smile.
My Summer eyes grab hold of theirs; a plum blush.
When Winter comes, I’m far-removed ; housebound.
Still, I will be replaced; it's not me. What are they?
The essence of the sun is deep within my heart and soul.
It brings me warmth when I am cold to brighten up my mood.
To see the sun high in the sky on a cloudless day
Is my therapy, I feel replenished, and surrounded with happiness.
For if I am sun replenished, then I can replenish those around me.
Bringing warmth to others when they may feel down and out.
And by radiating a joyful demeanour and staying positive,
I see the sun rise in them as they begin to shine.
Without the sun, we would wither and fail to thrive.
All creatures on earth would disappear.
Leaving a desolate, cold, shrivelled up, space.
This is not a place I would ever choose to be.
Therefore, the sun must reside within our very being.
Although, at times as it hides behind cloudy skies,
Knowing it will come out again, bringing warmth, to everything.
Continuing our survival, is why I love the sun.
“the essence in us is the same
as the essence of the sun” - Unseeking Seeker
the essential elemental
that holy fire in everyone
sparks the imagination
that enlightenment can come
one day with a little intervention
not unlike solarizing flares, electrifying chairs
and the unlimited power of the Son
some day with a lot of aspiring inspiration
We’ll all spontaneously combust
it's all for one and one for all
seeking the Seeker
that’s in all of us
“The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun”
You’re somewhere in my chest, a fancy place to hide
like that heat creeping in when I’m half asleep, kinda shy
We all got that fire the same one the sun’s rocking
sometimes flickering, sometimes straight up shocking
No not a clean flame, more like stubborn smoke
hangin’ in the ashes, refusing to choke
In all my cracked-up moments, you pop up like a start
raw, real, unpolished, right in my heart
No smooth lines, no perfect art
just you, me, and sun, tangled from the start

Contest: Dweller of our heart
Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker
Within the dark, before the day,
A golden spark will find its way;
Not borrowed light, nor fleeting flame,
But one with which the sun’s the same.
It warms the marrow, stirs the soul,
It makes the broken pieces whole;
Through weary hours, through every start,
It dwells within our beating heart.
When shadows press, it will not fade,
It stands where deepest love is laid;
For just as morning crowns the sky,
It rises here, and so do I.
We burn not just to see, but give,
To make the colder world live;
This flame, unchanged, will never part
The sun itself
Dwells in our heart.
(Line of inquiry: “the essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun”)
Sunrays warm my blushed cheeks--
calmness of daybreak dream's sweet adieu,
daylight spills through the meadow,
raising closed buds into bloom.
There, in sereneness before the world wakes,
the golden light whispers with gentle grace,
not just light, but presence—
ancient, not in sight yet felt,
it speaks not in words but in warmth.
There is no outcast, no distant star.
only brightened the wanderer's path,
This is the dweller of our heart.
Shining through flesh and fragile thought.
I remember when I listened:
I know my heart is not in flames,
But forged in stillness.
I'm not broken,
I'm not alone.
Born among stars, for a star, too, am I
A scion of the Earth and the star-filled sky
Helios, my name, called by ancient ones
Stardust clings as I am now among suns
My essence is of sea waves at high tide
or, as they gently kiss shore, then collide
The hills share portions of the mystery
as they often bend down and kiss the sea
The wind whispers as it calls my real name
It scatters ice crystals where snow lays claim
The gardens of flowers, fruits and leafed trees
Mix with scent of honey, carried by bees
I know night and day under lilac skies
Dawn to Sunset I am Time as it flies
All are my essence, born of older time
I am dweller in human heart divine

We are as the sun,
for in us is a light.
It’s the light of One
omnipotent and bright.
This essence – this glow -
we should appreciate.
We must let it grow
to burn all hate away.
Imagine if we all,
with our love lights showing,
could create a ball
like the sun’s and glowing.
Heaven on this earth -
it's possible to be
when we realize worth
in everyone we see.
We can be victorious
when kindness we impart,
mindful of the glorious
Dweller of our Heart.

Dweller of Our Heart
Light dwells in my core
Through ambivalent nights
Light and solar fire,
The incorruptible first breath of Aurora’s blush.
Born in the same chrysalis of the refiner’s flame,
Before the birth of light,
Crafted in birthright,
We rise together
And draw breath from the morning star
We are consecrated in the Eternal’s dawn
My soul knows your light as you know mine.
In everlasting dawn
We live and move
Oblivious to frost and ice
Mesmerized by the rapture of grace
And like sunflowers,
Blooming in a never-ending summer,
We turn in the same breath
To dance a unison
With our Creator’s face.
We, reflections of hallowed perfection,
Know harmony
Yoked by caritas
I feel your marrow
As a soulmate
As we compose one fire song,
Given to us,
In harmony,
By the Spirit ~ dweller in our hearts.
Contemplate the sun, that celestial jewel
who happily burns hydrogen for fuel,
and shines away the night,
so then, before our earthly eyes,
we see vast and glorious blue skies -
and plants that photosynthesis
from its warmth and light.
The greens we eat will then provide
the sun's vitality, which we have inside,
causing us to shine -
and, like the sun, we can share
the energy we have to spare.
So, I propose a toast or prayer
to the universe divine.
In the cave of our heart, God Himself dwells,
as the light that lights all lights in this world.
God’s language is love, which ego misspells,
hoping we’ll be in winds of desires twirled.
So dark lust or love, which one do we choose,
determines either descent or ascent
and by sidestepping each ego spawned ruse,
our aura glows on granting joy consent.
Look not at form but at God’s light within
the heart of every living thing there is,
the sinless intent with which we begin,
breath by breath, we radiate a bliss fizz.
We’ve said to the ego our last farewells ~
In the cave of our heart, God Himself dwells
