Happiness

Happiness is a fleeting thing
At times it can feel like a memory
something that was experienced 
but sadly short lived 

It's like a flower coming into bloom
the dew droplets hanging off the petals
the sweet scent of a rose hanging in the air
Happiness however fleeting should be cherished
like a blind person being able to see the world for the first time.
A father witnessing the birth of his child.

One should remember when sorrow comes your way
and you feel as if everything is crumbling around you
think back to those happy moments 
use it to lighten up those dark days
remember that there is someone out there 
someone that has never had a happy moment to think back on 
someone who is suffering through worse fate than yours
and in every dark cloud there is a silver lining.

A Comforting Strength From a Distance

Baby love, you're always there
when i need you.
A guiding strength
to protect me.
How can i repay you
for everything you've done.
When hard times come my way
and i've seen better days
There you are making a way
pointing and guiding me to the right way.
When one family has forsaken me
and so called friends
have no time for me
At least i know
My God and You
will be there for me
A comforting strength from a distance.

To My Twin Flame

My heart is calling you
As yours is calling me
Our union will be one for the books
However, it has nothing to do with books 

We trigger each other 
Light fires under one another
I pull you to me, you come willingly
The union is divine 
Feels like we've been together,
since the beginning of time.

The connection feels so true
yet, you doubt it to be real
We get closer, and the fire burns hotter.
It feels like we can't stand the fire,
I tell you take my hand 
We can withstand it together

Yet you resist, why do you resist?
You pull away, running from the flames,
that are calling our names.


I dive in willingly,
Holding your space
Within the all-encompassing love, light flames.

1111 is our number
when we combine nothing will bring us asunder
I have realized my blunder 
that one thing that kept pulling us under

The unconditional love I had for thee
I made the mistake of not giving it to me
Once the error was corrected
you noticed and we reconnected
Now the flame has been re-ignited,
with our love completely connected.

We have begun our journey,
to divinely fulfill our destiny.
Where twin souls, combine their love
With all the blessings from above,
we will guide the world from Destruction and Tyranny
and bring it to a world filled with Love and Unity!

Love

Love is the answer 
Love is what we need
Not the infatuation one 
But the unconditional one

The kind of love 
Where despite our differences
we can still respect each other
The love where you will
Stand up with a brother, sister, neighbor, friend, or stranger.

Love that makes us unite,
Filled with compassion
The type of love that
can traverse the universe
Hey, even the multiverse!
The pure love from a child 
before they are trained to hate

Once humanity finds and reclaims that love,
the love buried deep within.
On that day we shall know,
what is true love
The kind of love written in the stars above
