For a time,
I want to shed my earthly existence
Like the sloughed skin of a snake
To rise high and still higher like a bird
To sail beyond sunset, to fly far, far away
To soar into the seamless skies
To levitate in ether, to feel weightless
To float amid twinkling stars
To collide against constellations
To tour round on a magic carpet
And dive into the oceanic depths of space
There I would build a palace
Amid the clouds to dream in peace
With none to trouble or torment
No laws of gravity should pull me down
Let me rest awhile in that magic kingdom
Not for ever, but for a little while
To look down from that cosmic arena
And pity upon the poor earthlings
Who never realize how insignificant they are
Stuck in a blue luminous speck
Amid the vast enveloping cosmic dark
And keep sucking their habitation dry!
With all ignorance and misconceptions shed
With pearls of new knowledge garnered
With petty strife set aside, in greater humility
Finally to descend down as a better being!

In the depths of silence, my thoughts flow like an unseen river,
I sink and rise, like a bird caught in the flight of night,
each breath becomes a song of time passing by,
an echo of moments lived, purer and clearer, endless.
On the shores of my dreams, the sky stretches infinite and vast,
the cold wind, messenger of forgetfulness, whispers old stories,
and the clouds, like fleeting dreams, weave their fragile shadows
on the window of my soul, ephemeral and dancing in the evening light.
I will not disappear in the longing-filled summer, nor in the rusty autumn,
the snow of winter will not bear the imprint of my silent and cold passage.
Look, my love, how in the corner of the sky, between me and life,
a fragile spider web shines like an unseen bond.
Within me, something struggles like a spider crushed by the passage of time,
running through my blood and slowly fading into silence,
but every gesture, every word remains suspended in the air,
seeking answers between the present moment and the infinity of silence.
Yes, I cry out to time about my journey through this world,
with the voice of a melancholy that sings softly in the background,
yes, I speak to myself about the silent passing of time,
but time answers me only with a deep and cold silence.
Fly, flame of dreams, through the window of my open heart,
trembling on a wick of longing and hope, burned and alive.
Murmur, river of time! Resound over me, my city,
my bell of fire, of memories that never fade.
Above my forgotten grave, under the dark and vast sky,
let young life cry out with an endless and burning fervor.
The weight of the world is on me and I want to hide
Hover in love and feel peace when I glide
I’m so low I cant even see the bottom floor
I need your help to get out so I can soar
Can I borrow your wings so I can fly
Rise like a bird up towards the sky
Leave the world behind that’s full of tears
Let me feel the power so I can beat by fears
I promise to return them to you the next day
But if my pain returns I’ll need them again to be ok
Let me rise above the clouds so I can leave the hate
Please help me to climb before it’s to late
I won’t look back on the sorrow that’s always there
I’ll enjoy the peaceful view it simply doesn’t compare
Can I borrow your wings so I can fly
Rise like a bird up towards the sky
Leave the world behind that’s full of tears
Let me feel the power so I can beat by fears
I promise to return them to you the next day
But if my pain returns I’ll need them again to be ok
If you need me I can dive down and carry you away
So you can leave your misery behind for another day
Forget your troubles be free and have some fun
Dry your eyes and heal your soul with the rays of the sun
Can I borrow your wings so I can fly
Rise like a bird up towards the sky
Leave the world behind that’s full of tears
Let me feel the power so I can beat by fears
I promise to return them to you the next day
But if my pain returns I’ll need them again to be ok
The vision of you is like the sun on the horizon
which light does set upon the brow of thought
the midsummer's buds bring forth the harvest
the treasure of mine heart within are caught
Such a love descends upon a mortal breast
to be exercised in span of shorted life
where hope does soar like a bird aflight
such sails hold the winds of bonded wife
Entwined upon our souls does hold its rope
The chords of Love the spirits promise that you gave
for therein it is braids like upon us hope
to care for each other like humbled slave
It declares your love to those your favors chose
whose intercourse of cares upon all alight
the final numbers of all the called to wed
the seal of your love by a messengers invite
Cast upon us are all the reasons for this course
to trod its path is the faithful map to true
to all our sins and failings which we divorce
and its purity of heart is joined to you
All of its secrets to your beloved you revealed
and saved us by the knowledge of its depth
that it be patterned to the nature unconcealed
gives eternity to true loves life and breath
I will enter the temple with rejoicing
among your judges we will find our place
what we have suffered like an irritation
that we might give you our obeisance and grace
You have looked upon the oppressed and lowly
who have shown the justice of your King
with patience have faced all their afflictions
and know your peace upon the earth will ring

I look to the sky for solace
I look to the sky in search of your soul
Praying to see you soar overhead
But seeing a nothingness of grey clouds instead
Then on a clear and starlit night
The Moon she’s at her fullest
Jupiter and Saturn aligned close by
The ISS I do espy ~ a friend ~ I wave goodbye
So full of emotion and joy am I
As I yearn to fly just like a bird
With wings of gold they will unfold
Guiding me upwards
I am free
I can fly
Forever and ever
Like a star in the sky
As our souls become one we soar into Space
Look closer my darling
See the smile on my face
No constraints
Hold us back
Forever we are free
Flying together to eternity
We stop
We gaze in wonder
For we’ve never seen before
Our Universe ~ at close proximity
Then passing by dear Mother Moon
Her exquisite beauty
Her femininity
For many hours I’ve gazed in awe
Naming her ‘Your Majesty’
She truly is a beauty Queen
And now we stop to bow
Then with a smile she sprinkles love
A thousand moonbeams from above
We glisten ~ we gleam ~ we sparkle now
We bid our Queen a fond farewell
Our souls will soar forevermore
With grace and smooth fluidity
Our golden wings for all to see
Fly us into Infinity…

The wind like time
Does not beg permission
It does not pause for longing hands
It moves illusively disappearing
Coming and going
Weaving the strands of tomorrow
into fleeting dreams transcended
From the bones of yesterday
It waits unseen in silent stillness
mummering with mystery
charging into an array
of constant cycles of energy
Touching everything
In its river of drifting sighs and huffing gusts
Its anger devours with
Screeching tempests
Swallowing the lifeless forms
Without discretion
Making alive and moving
All that lies in its wake
At the crossroads of departure
Spinning like a bird in flight
You are taken in its wake
Uplifted into its command
Within the chasms of little choice
Unsurmountable mountains of truth
Lay just ahead in perilous wait
Only to come to rest
Succumbing to the valleys of peace
To witness destiny
Constantly my pen hit on paper
Asking myself
Can a man sink his roots so deep in he's faith
That he knows that it's breaches would shoot out only to be cut of
Like the sound of joy taking flight and filling the streets
You see from birth to bed of no existence
Like a bird in a cage
I cried for freedom,but freedom was an island of cages
We are told that we are free in the pages of a book
Like books in a library our freedom has been confined to the walls we see
You see God guaranteed freedom,but responsibility limits it to choice like a child I thought freedom was for grown ups ,wen I got in the train of adult hood for freedom was an illusion because you are immune with immunity gives no choice for invisibility
Our protectors can't protect us people who are supposed to stop stealing now steal from us
leaders of tomorrow
Who's tomorrow never comes
Like religion monsters who buried lies in the sermons of greener pastures.
Master of lies laying destructive eggs incubated with psychological Vision
With prophesying the unseen Vision
Let this be The Genesis of our evolution
My heart is made of lace held fast by Holy fabric strings
its red like a pomegranate warm like my Father's love
my heart is open like a rose in summer when it sings
and when I meet a stranger,... it chances it thereof
My heart is volatile like a bird through an open door
it beats to pulsed emotions living deep inside my chest
finding favor with my soul loving me with sweet adore,
it pumps blood inside my chambers, never taking rest
This heart of mine is made of love and Holiest of things
I spend my time giving true support to those in need
if I were Angel my heart would own two quill wings
but Angel I am not, although I love to plant the seed,
Its only God that can turn a heart into Holy fabric strings
Its only God that can turn a heart into a heart that sings.
Santa sacked Rudolph and all of his herd
In his new jet pack he flew like a bird
His suit got ignited
And he’s just been sighted
Roasted and naked... then, guess what occurred
He crash landed, coming down hard
His beard and his dangly bits charred
Giving children a gift
Gave his spirits a lift
But after all this he’ll be barred
A passerby gave him a sock
He wore it to save us from shock
But a fluffy manhood
As a look, wasn’t good
So somebody gave him a frock
The next day he called Rudolph early
The reindeer came back but were surly
Still wearing that dress
He failed to impress
And that’s why they now call him Shirley
The pain that i feel is so unreal
The memories of you never seem to fade away from me
The lonely nights
The days, the months the years that pass me by
The life i live is all a lie
The pain i feel is so intense
I start to feel like it isn't making any sense
Where do i go
What do i do
Is there anyone out there i can turn to
I miss you so much you have no idea
I long to hear from you but you don't long to hear from me
What does one do with a one sided love
Is there even a cure?
Why does life bring so many obstacles, with no solutions
It's been 15 years feeling this way, how can i just make it go away
No matter what i do where i go
Our memories just tag along
Like a shadow in the night
Please someone tell me how i can win this fight
Pain pain go away please do not come back any other days
I want to feel free like a bird
With nothing on my mind
No one in my heart
No tears in my eyes
No feeling like i just want to die
But at end the end of the day
No matter what direction i turn the pain
It still remains
