If Loving You Was A Sin
If loving you was a sin,
Then I’ve sinned in silence every day since you left.
And I’d do it again.
Every lifetime. Every breath.
They told me,
“She’s not yours.
This isn’t right.
You’ll ruin everything.”
But they don’t know what it felt like
to hold a world in my hands
and have to let it go
to keep it from burning.
They don’t know what

Falun Dafa Will Prevail, part 1
1992, Master Li Hongzhi’s benevolence shone through
To the public in China his amazing teaching grew
Falun Dafa emerged from prehistoric time
To guide Earth’s people to be true, good and kind
People practiced peacefully in parks each day
Before work, school, and even play
Cleansing their bodies with the five gentle moves
Cultivation of mind and heart was true
Morality and virtue

I tried to cut my toenails, but I couldn't bend
I tried to cut my toenails, but I couldn't bend.
It gets harder and harder the nearer the end.
And there's just no hope for a remedy.
Your body's becomes the enemy ~
and death a yearned for friend.

Phantom Wall
I have so many secrets locked up,
behind yet a phantom wall,
never listened as I crawled
over to the vines hanging tall,
and an artist forever draws
the singular and not a changing
as I toss and itch & sigh
notes illustrating withdrawals
The sketching of a doomed artist
sitting up & was once creative,
cracked eggs spills the flaws
sickness hesitating dying claws
to fill

IN AND OF BOTCHED SOWN UNAWARENESS
IN AND OF BOTCHED SOWN UNAWARENESS
Just unlock your mind,
And let its waves freely flow:
Frothing awareness:-
I thought you needed my help;
Me, loving unaware:
How unfortunate,
My mental awareness botched;
My mind blindsided:
Triumphant love shadowing
Forgiveness being denied:-
We reap what we sow.
To reap love, you must sow it:
Life’s divine wisdom:-
How could I have sown hate?!
Please God, reveal it to me:-
Ready and

Life Is
For the fortunate
Life begins with love and pain
And so it continues
For those who walk a worthy path
Love and pain
Love and pain
Love and pain
Each ever increasing,
Building,
Combining
Through powerful struggle
To form precious art
Like that made from stained glass and fire
We can only hope
That our love
Can burn
So strong and so bright
That something

The Quest For Perfection
Today,
somewhere in this world,
without fuss or a funerary
prayer, a lifeform
has gone extinct.
It probably passed unnoticed,
its last lonely moment spent
bleeding beneath a log
or gasping in a shallow pond
with its gills clogged with silt
or sliding down the gullet
of a predator.
How brutal the path is,
the sheer waste,
the cruel experimentation
whether mindful or mindless
by something

a lad gets a whipping in a shack
each helpless in his own way…
to whom and for what do they pray

What Is Friendship POTD
friendship can be great
looking when will I find you

Storms
There are times when I am just tired of the endless rain.
Walking in the middle of this desert, once again.
No one knows the chaos of the battle I am fighting for my seed.
Faith is a choice, its something you must feed.
The darkness I feel at times, is part of the process I am facing to

It Will Always Rain on Me
It will always rain on me in all seasons.
Seasons jacketing me with dust,
Dust mostly from the dry season to absorb my hope.
Hope fractured in different ways in time,
Time unendingly discoloring my soul.
Soul trying to resist by pleading for light.
Light that kills darkness but dies in startling grief.
Grief that mostly engraves

Pain for Pain
You say your sorry for offending me as if that can heal me as if that makes anything better
Too little to late
You ask for help because you’re scared but being in pain does not absolve you from your sins
You put me through the worst pain of my life so look at me when I
