Learning to walk away

Loved and cherished
Learning to trust again

Looking for meaning 
     Too many meaningless things
           Our lives are cluttered
               We must work towards uplifting    
                     Together we will achieve...

Early Morning

The day began with a jolt
As from the bed I did bolt.
I am now recovering,
From what I am discovering,
My legs did instantly revolt....

Hell
             drunk, destitute
          falling, crying, dying

     standing, laughing, recovering,
              sober, serene
                   Heaven...

From dawn until falling dusk
Hoovering like ghosts
Dissolved with the light of true

in this green warm room
they speak unknown 
languages of power
passion bordering
on revenge
complexes of conflict
brilliant minds chained
by the system
slowly recovering
they are speaking
unknown languages of
love passion and deciet...

For MY NON CHRISTIAN FAMILY, RSA:


S source of life, water, rain, cooler weather
I   I'm recovering from sin, my lineage
N No true healing without repenting; like rain in

It’s been a while,
Without her smile,
Which lingers large
In my recovering,
Fallen heart,
As time goes by,
And truth sets in,
The little scars
On my canvas skin
Begin to blend,
Edges fade and I
Become whole again.

The drop she gave,
Pure, like Chanel Beige....

Never watch any comedies
while recovering from surgery
because you can laugh your stitches out literally
which will be not only painful but also very bloody.
This is one of those situations when laughter can be deadly,
as opposed to hightening one's spirits joyfully....

From youngsters to seniors,
Free or behind bars,

Persons traumatise,
By sickness,from wars,

Recovering from drugs,
Healing deep scars,

Or just chilling,
Drinking wine with caviare,

I had a dream,my poems,
Read near,read far,

Even by aliens,
Sipping champaign,
On nameless stars......

Remembering the union of the two souls
Rejoicing for the first time
Revival of expectations  and eagerness
Recovering of the meaning
Reloading of the truthfulness

I’m recovering from an addiction of your passion and desire
Potent like fire
Thrusts of lust
Shaken up 
and intertwined like wires,
Your kisses I so admire
I follow the wind of your breath
Taking me to the depths 
of your passionate grace
The warmth of your body
Becomes my fate...

the silence shatters
in the back alleys of your mind,
a cat springs from a fire escape.
hitting the ground, she stumbles
near imperceptible,
revealing the last vestiges of kittenhood.
recovering herself, 
she slinks unnoticed through a doorway
shimmering, it disappears behind her;
the last way out....

How convoluted love may be
When you are an absentee 
Falling in a pensive state
Only to re-create...
Enchantment from a clear conclusion
Contemplating fiery fusion
Though there they are with love by side
Never really satisfied
Clearly in a pensive mood
Recovering from a feud
Hence my love I do condemn
For I wouldn't wanna be them...

Who owns the child?
    the one who has no place. 

Is it The One Track Minds?
    Who only listen the themselves?

Is it the recovering addict? 
    Who caused all the pain?
 
Is it the uncaring trier?
    Who knows not a thing?

Is it the Loving Light?
    Who gave all he had?

Or.

Is it the trapped memories 
    Torturing her inside?...
