flickers in my broken heart...

Stepping on each others' toes
Was the way forward....

twisted, turning, spinning round
vortex, darkness does surround
no light left to find my path
no way forward
no way back...

we didn't know where we were heading
but we knew we'd get there together

Colorful mutated jars
Ones that shape-shift throughout life
Taking unique way forward
Ignoring nature

The path is shady
    the gait, shaky
  Destination known
    elicits a moan

  Tried to turn back
    behind me all black 
  The only way, forward
    to the vast sea, shoreward...

So what happens now.
I am at a loss.
What is expected
Of me and where do
I really belong.

I used to know.
I used to see
My future.
It was precious.

So I move
On. One day
At a time.

I'm lost.
My guide?

Hope....

Therapy is the only way forward. 

Therapy that I am afraid will corrupt my mind. 

Because I am on a glorious path to my fate. 

And before my fate comes, I must be whole. 

Therapy will cause my scars to crack-

And break me into pieces....

Listen to poem:

fulfillment is achieved,
when all is said and done, by the trek not the prize
ill conceived.

as way forward
when it's not a shallow, hollowed
reward

chest task
as memento
mask

fulfillment is achieved
when it's not a shallow, hollowed
mask...

I've made up my mind to find
a vast difference between the
meaning of past, present,future
to let go of the past and find 
a better way forward to vent
my determination for a
good life, with a peaceful mind.
I'm on my way to better days.

Orichalcum on the run;
eternal winters.
Laid to rest
beneath the brow
of shining birch trees;
we sing our praise to thee.

Here yonder shining grave
with tears of sapphire
in the dawn
brightly lighting the beyond
for the incoming travel,
we embark upon tomorrow.

Let us seek our way forward at last....

Hold on to that thought!
It was put there for a reason.

That not-so-good idea?
Might be perfect for next season.

The inkling of a dream
That looks impossibly big

Is perhaps your way forward
To a new innovative gig!

You were put here a creator
Of mind-blowing destinies.

The world to reckon with
An everlasting legacy!...

Sold to be Soul 
When I cry
I continue to try
Then I become tired
There is no help
In the time of toil
Of people that has soil
Darkness with a glitter of light
Glooming in the nearby sun
All alone in the upper walk
Nature takes toll
Upon everyone’s soul
Sold out to the oppressor
Suppress and depress
Press your way forward

i am
a softly glowing spark
looking out of these eyes, driving
this meat machine around,
feeling my way forward

a memory bank holding
my treasures, a library of embers and
shadows, glowing itself, growing
here while bits there fade away

a soft thumping heart, saying
i wish i wish i wish
as the spark sits in the shadow
where you once lived....

Blind from birth believing, seeing
All he needed to see
A bold witness to truth
Undeniable faith, unshaken and piercing
Through darkness overshadowed by night

Blind from birth, both
Eyes open, casting silhouettes
On one who heal
Pressing his way forward

Hear him out
Loud through silence
Speaking in faith
 
Joy exposed
To one

This question of myself is on repeat.
How can I remove this tall mountain before my way?

The days are repeating,
But no one is showing me the way.

And my question is still on the repeat.
I will stand here until when?
What if I die here?

As longest am still standing.
I will never give up searching way forward,
Because I can't die here before I touch my dream....

Into the Ocean I am headed, and quickly forth the tide pulls me;
From my pool I have been raised, and from it I shall be.

I struggle to keep calm, as the fear tries to grip me;
Though it’s not a fear of a darkened horror, but of uncertainty.

I know not whether to push my way forward, or to press my eyes to the sky,
All that I’m really trying to do is avoid that dreadful sigh....

We prefer putting blame on pastor-counseler
For secretly meeting her without him
He, not suspecting, divide & rule strategem

She later explained, I gave Dean my side
In case you blamed me for our "fall"
It was indeed love (of this world) after all

Best way forward, Dear Heart, seek His Will
Our free will always is our freedom, personality
LORD God never canceled The Commandments Ten...

Listen to poem:

i’m a widow
part of me is gone and dead
i’m a widow and always will be
i don’t know how to carry on

i’m a widow
and know that i am not alone
yet their stories are not my own
i must not add them to my burden

i need to walk my solitary journey
and focus on my beacon
there’s a reason out there for me
to be courageous and carry on

Lucid thoughts

From neural streams,

Frequencies of conscious beings,

Vibrating on receptive traces

That defines us not as different races

But as one in unified code,

Sharing one corpus striatum,

Matrix network conjoining one

Connectivity between those who see,

The way forward existentially,

Those who forsee and feel the paradigm shift,

Healing all of humanities rifts....

the two of us being broken and damaged
we've picked up the pieces
dusted ourselves off
stood up and decided
to put up a good front
with what's left of our courage

somewhat recovered from the hurt
we're still fragile
yet parade our determination
not giving up

hand in hand
envisioning a future
where love is soothing
and togetherness the way forward

The truth

Truth is like lava 
Always trying to bust out
Always want to come out 
We humans keep it in 

The Truth Always fights its way out
No matter how hard you want to keep it 
To yourself 
The Truth wants to destroy The lie
The Truth does haunt but teaches a
Leason 

The Truth is The enermy of The lie
The Truth is like god
The lie is The devil 
Make a decision and Truth 
You'll have hope and way forward...

Blurred and broken lines.
The charred stumps of ancient pines.
Receiver of an ordinary life.
A directive of outbound strife.

Lost in a sea of shifting light.
The way forward or back is severely tight.
Crystalline formations of danger.
The battered muse is getting ever stranger.

Hope has ceased in circular motions.
Drowned and swept in infinite oceans.
You write because your mind is broken.
Out of power. Insert more tokens....
