Follow Me

Follow me into the cave
In the dark that we both crave
The echoes come back at us
Like haunting cries we mistrust
Follow me into the ocean
Where the water feeds our emotion
So we can show our devotion
Call my name and I will follow
Look at me and I will swallow
Like the heavy mountain air
I get breathless when you stare
Follow me and I will show you
The sky’s hues the different colors
show you all the watercolors
Bring them down, give them to you
each and every deepest blue
Let you sink into me
So you can feel my sincerity
I will follow you anywhere
Because I love the way you care
Twirl my fingers through your hair
In your mind I love to share
Words they follow us around
When you sing I love that sound
Like following the great Devine
For this feeling I can’t define
Follow me all of our days
Stumble over the words I try to say
I’ll show you all I portray
The hidden maze inside myself
The old dust that’s on my shelf
Just hold my hand and I will follow
Sit with me so I won’t feel hollow
I’ll send you a message this way
For the love I want to display
But these words I’m scared to say

Alone You Are Small

Hollow caves sit in my chest 
I shed a tear but you tell me “give it a rest”
I swallow the lump that forms in my throat 
I look around I’m somewhere remote.

With you in the shadows I am not safe 
Shovel in hand you’re digging my grave 
I sit straight up blank stare on my face 
No breaking down I’ll do this with grace 

You circle and circle and spit pure poison
Words trickle out but I don’t let the noise in 
I’m stoic as ever and let out a grin 
You scream in my face as if I have sinned 
Do as I’m told, then I’ll be skinned 

Down to the bone to redesign 
A shell of myself, but I’ll say I’m fine 
It’s a loneliness I can’t define. 
Alone in a castle, chained to a wall 
I want to run but then I stall 
Look at my bruises your words I recall 
“No one will save you, alone you are small.”

Show Us

I wallow and sit
My heart a pit
A seedless thing
What do you bring
Can you change
How life is strange?
Can you show
How life will go?
Will you free
Me from the hatred I see?
Will you bind
And change my mind?
These little glimpses
That good accomplishes
A broken heart
Tore me apart
Love healed me so
Till I let go
Will you show
Me how to glow
To be the best
Leave the rest
Take my hand
Help me withstand
The changing tides
Both sides
With no divide
Inside
Show us now
So we can allow
To let love in
And begin
To be the best
Let go of the rest

The Roughness of the Ocean

How my mind slips away
My words I can’t convey
My time is delayed
I try to meet myself halfway
The trees around me fall
The sounds not sweet at all
The leaves trickle off
That’s when I takeoff
I leave the scene behind me
I cross the deep sea
As I watch the debris
Fall all around me
I feel lost in this strange land
I just want to withstand
The hurricanes and storms
The pain that this forms
And hope that I transform
When the rain comes down to meet me
I blink clearly able to see
Changes guarantee
I’ll find life’s key
The hidden answer lies out there
I can’t find it anywhere
I search and search but life falls around me
I try to swim as I musee
The thoughts are not clear
From life I float in fear
That the debris will take me down
If the answer is not found
I call out to Mother Nature for help and guidance
She says there must be a balance
Of love of hate of fear of being brave
She says I must pave
The way for a new day
I must learn how to say not what to say
I must not be the cliche or disobey
For she watches everyday
I learned that all the debris hitting me
We’re lessons I learned to see
The roughness was for me to foresee
The beauty inside of me 
I am the one who holds the key

The jar

Growing up I was small 
I constantly hit the wall 
I tried to be the best I could 
And always felt misunderstood 
I felt so far away 
And stuck somewhere I shouldn’t stay 
A broken family wildly torn 
Later something I would mourn 

I chased peaks way to high 
And never got to touch the sky 
I fought demons in my sleep 
In my head they would creep 

I punched walls and screamed loud 
Did all the things I wasn’t allowed
In the sea I floated away 
My heart I just couldn’t convey 

My friends watched a darkness take over 
All my anger would spillover 
I tried to put my feelings in my art 
But eventually that fell apart 
Luckily I found a new start 

I am changed from my past 
Nothing ever truly lasts 
So I look towards the sun 
Broke the jar and said “I’m done.”

Letting my smile reply

I look outside my window and stare 
Is it me that feels so unaware?
My head spins lightly moving the pieces 
I move them around make masterpieces 

The world outside glooms so unkind
I want to grieve but it holds my mind 
I shouldn’t be so dramatic 
But I can’t help to admire the cinema-tics

I color and color until the paper is brown 
I climb and climb and don’t look down 
The world goes around as I watch 
The puzzle fits but there’s one wrong notch 
I push them together ignoring what’s wrong 
Try to make them fit but they don’t belong 

Sometimes things move too fast 
I run and run but the past is the past 
It comes like a train howling my name 
Crushing the tracks without shame 

Then I blink it all disappears 
The storms in the background but right here it’s clear 
So I stay in the path that I know 
Watching the flowers grow and grow 

Far from all I’ve left behind 
Even if sometimes it crashes inside 
I let it go and watch it fly 
Watching the madness go on by 
Letting my smile reply

Reiki

It is a feeling, vibrational healing 
Emotion revealing ,pain dealing, karmic concealing 
It is touch, to heal the crutch, that holds one back 
Their skin will crack, Open wide 
To see another side 

Vibration thickens. Love stricken. Body condition 

The heat wave sparks. A quick remark 
You look at me, then you see 

My touch of gold, they told me so 
I am the healer. Chakra feeler

Light Is Here To Stay

I am an ember in the night 
Something dark but seems right 
I am moss upon the tree
Someone soft, beautiful, but inside me 
There’s both dark and light 
Sometimes one will take my sight 

When the darkness takes over 
I am rolling like a boulder 
Courageous, dangerous, everything upon my shoulder 
I let it go but I’m the holder 

When the light shines down on me 
I see the gold inside of me 
I seek it often but it leaves 
When it does I grieve and grieve 

I’ll climb a mountain to find the answers 
But then my will becomes a cancer 
When the light shows my path 
I yell out and show my wrath 

The darkness folds into its cage 
When it opens out comes rage 
Lately light has come to stay
Tells me let go of my ways 
Shows me the beauty around me 
So much light I finally see

Otherside

A moment in time 
No words I’m a mime 
Look all around 
Stare at the ground 
My face how it sinks
Tired eyes slowly blink 
I look down at my hands 
The bruises demand 
To find another fix 
My mind how it conflicts 
I see the train coming now 
The impact I allow 
I don’t see a way out 
Sink in my doubt 
The tears on the faces 
My mind how it races 
All I let go 
Because I know 
The battle was lost 
A bridge I can’t cross 
My problems they cost 
Every way I exhaust 
I curl in a ball 
Sink against a dirty wall
I cry and I call 
A small sliver of hope 
A slippery slope
I feel so far gone 
But there’s always a dawn 
A new day for me 
A new way to be 
Fixing the broken 
Making words not unspoken 
Taking a leap 
Straight down it’s so deep 
I let go and I open my eyes 
Somehow I’m on the other side

Immanent Yet Transcendent

It is a feeling, vibrational healing 
Emotion revealing ,pain dealing, karmic concealing 
It is touch, to heal the crutch, that holds one back 
Their skin will crack, Open wide 
To see another side 

Vibration thickens. Love stricken. Body condition 

The heat wave sparks. A quick remark 
You look at me, then you see 

My touch of gold, they told me so 
I am the healer. Chakra feeler
