In order to discern To intentionally hurt that unintentionally hurts
Wrap these spiritual vessel in order to discern
provoked and unearthed
preying on specials
To intentionally hurt that unintentionally hurts
open wounds leak out worth
in drowsy pedals
that determine morals and ethics.
In order to discern
Reflections confirm
Veils harmonize wrestling with the unsettled
To intentionally hurt that unintentionally hurts
Discernment practice and rehearse
To bring balance to level.
In order to discern.
Perhaps it only ever occurred.
Spiritual and emotional wrestles
To intentionally hurt that unintentioanlly hurts. In order to discern.
Many did come and go.
None is left ,it is just I and no You.
Memories leak out.
Truth turning into doubt .
Emptiness is all around .
Walking a thin line between sky and ground.
Eyes are shut .
All words turn into Yes ,But .

words
leak out
my desires
furiously
only my pen holds back The raging flood
Down came the gavel
again and again
Deafening ears
amidst all the cheers
Of course I was guilty
'twas never in doubt
Of far greater import
Would the Truth yet leak out
glad
in crux
near the gloom
that light nudge me
when it gets anxious
concerns that might leak out
my burrows are firmly couched
not a fiend nor a darling star
they thrust as the night sky gained their sight.
yet, both sorts score their way to my shoulder.
My War
Tick tick tick
My brain is always on
My thoughts never quick
Sometimes I wonder if I'm my own pawn
In a game that my very own brain has drawn
My brain has turned on my heart
That I know without a doubt
Every day it has thrown a killing dart
Blood has begun to leak out
I can feel my soul drying up like flowers during a drought
I was once a bright flower
But, like all flowers, I slowly wilt
Through the torturing hours
The body I built,
Started to gradually tilt
I don’t want to fall
I don’t want to stay on the floor
But, I can’t help answering the luring call
Of death singing at my door
He promised me that answering would end my internal war
If one has a patchwork mind in his bonnet,
and the patches are not well
stitched and sewn together,
thoughts , opinions and ideas
leak out easily through the seams
and what is heard in the end
is funny screams
I lived there, listening
In the turmoil of the trailer park
For many years, through tears
Time passed by as I watched people
Move in and out, in and out
Never staying there for too long
I wonder where they’ve all gone
The moments ticked on, moving
Across second hands, along the lines
Of goodbyes and lost ties that leave
The heart feeling like it has a gap
Where the blood might leak out
I drifted to sleep at night
After whispering prayers
Huddled behind my quiet peace
There was a silent scream
Echoing through my soul without control
Not once did I dream
Of the laughter
Laughter that
Would come when
I let go of the past
When you awake without me
Sun shining in you eyes,
Making your tears shine
Let them fall.
When tomorrow starts
And I am not there
I wish you would not cry,
Thinking over things you did not get to say in time.
Feel it all
But without the shimmer
As the feelings leak out
So do I.
Hold on to me,
But don't let me be the anchor.
Heal without my presence
Make yourself feel,
But don't become an ocean.
Let me drown in you,
And never let me escape.
Shed your fears onto me and let them wash away your sins,
The sacrifice of your innocent youth can free your yearning soul,
I am not the contempt that you were warned of,
I am the desire in your heart bound by your bloody veins,
I have felt your thoughts darken to where I reside,
Do not hide them from I that feeds you,
You know the thoughts I talk of,
The blackest ones,
The ones that dismay your very purity,
That scare your very being for fear that they should somehow leak out,
I know those thoughts,
I know them all too well,
Why torment yourself so,
Hiding behind masks of skin and secrets,
None of you speak truth,
Only that which liars deem prove you worthy,
But none of your kind are truly worthy,
How can you be when denial is your greatest strength.
I can ease your shallow burden,
If you will only let me,
I will lift the burden of living from you,
And free your desires from the weight of circumstance,
You will be born again,
Never to know the manacles of your misconstrued life,
A moment with me will be an eternity without inhibition,
Come join with us,
Release yourself,
Be all that you can be.
Dreams leak out of my mannequin head
My twisted plastic limbs are sprawled out on my bed
My expression ever frozen, in a dramatic pose
I'm not biodegradable but I want to decompose
A glue drop on my cheek to emulate a tear
I've been here 10 minutes or maybe 10 years
Of a souls none are whole, all have holes.
Memories untold, lives unheard, Pains undiscovered, and sorrowful tolls.
Hidden and veiled, they persevere their closed hearts
We close the lid, fill it up each day until the glass cracks and our souls leak out.
Patched up fast, and we hide the cracks till we break again.
Endless cycle, permanently broken, and temporarily repaired.
Examples for history that no one learns.
Entrusted to the special, only to be betrayed and judged .
Maybe why no one trusts anymore.
The world fears each other's judgement.
Brother turns on brother, friend on friend.
Why must we judge what we don't understand?
We tear ourselves and everyone else around use apart.
To hate is to love, to love is to hate.
One cannot exist without the other.
A way of life we have created with fear of what we don't know.
Much after the tear had welled up,
Good enough to leak out,
Much before the millisecond it gave up,
This finger had shot out,
The weight of the tear would make you too bleak,
May be that's why you never let it touch my cheek !!
For once I knew this love is indefinite,
For a lifetime I realised peace infinite !!
An angel around me, standing invisible
Or may be it should be invincible ??
All along the roads I traverse,
When everything seems diverse,
Woods become deep, days become dark,
Thoughts are strayed, life seems to warp,
There is a strand of thread,
Strong enough to make me forget the dread,
The thought of you gives me peace,
The flash of you gives me strength !!
Who is this? Why are you here?
Rhetoric questions.. Answer to which is little known !!
For all I know is this friendship is all what I cherish..
I have never and will never understand this untold bond..
All I know is this bond is my monde !!

Abrupt deep snooze
From heavy booze
In a swift pile
Deep slumber styles
Heavy strange snores
Flood noise galore
Slumber can speak
Strange motifs peak
Stupor styles plain
Such ***** refrains
Talk in your sleep
On drowsy trip
Secrets leak out
In cryptic shout
Abrupt sleep train
Words slip in vain
