dry tears on my cheeks

on paper I bleed

in roaming streams
of death’s journey
so much
more poignant
to lose a beloved
to the soundless
laugh of love
the scent of
your absence
with ravenous
desires
on mental shores
of solitude
*
my pain wears
the mask
of a virgin

pendulous
on a string
essence in black
innuendo’s of
nothing to be said
searching for that
magic key to
euphoria
where the sun
sets every night
I aim my bow
against the sky
into the unknown
somewhere
out of sight
beyond the stars
in the black night
the arrows fall
my mind wonders
of what awaits
with frozen emotions
born out of pain
***
the rules of hope
the draw of a card
who can predict
what tomorrow brings?

standing
at the edge
of my muse
adrift in
oceans of tide
lost in pain
where I
find memories
left behind
as I walk
through the
maze in
reflection
of stolen time
where
melange
of illusion
scatters
the mind
in dreams
beguiling
the truth
like echoes
of answers
erased
take me
to that
secret place
through the
darkness
as I still
go on
beneath
silence
and the tears
I weep
*
only time

Impressions of you

silence
as mist drips
in strands
under her shaky
fingertips
drawn on the canvas
of their love
with flaming azure
from her veins
violent red passion
from her heart
in fragile lacuna
between breath
and muse
just listen
***
accept
***
as she bleeds
into the night
with only
impressions
of him

a
hovering balloon
of
empty sounds
inflated
with love
soaring above
ablaze
to get through
empty darkness
with
reverie
patience
acceptance
poise
**
on the wings
of
zephyr
to kill
the dark
nights

shadows
on the wall
solemn darkness
constantly
following
broken only
by screams
of orange
parodies
of naked
truth
behind
painted frowns
as stillness
deepens to
black
every rhythm
playing fate
of its
somber time

SADENESS

covert pain
written across
the pages
of my soul
naked and exposed
where wounds
were bravely born
my inner child
derailed
where I linger
in this space
surrendering
among the puzzles
of reasons why
***
paint me a rainbow
in colours of red
the jewel of
my essence
rising
on wings
of
stone

has no shelter
nor has love

THE ESSENCE OF BEING
Posted in Daily Life, Dreams, Emotions, Family, Friends, Life, Musings, People, Personal, Random, Reflections, Spirituality with tags becoming, being, change, council, embrace, emotions, experience, failure, friend, hurt, learn, pain, purpose, sorrow, soul, teacher, The Essence, treasure, truth, unhappy, Wayne Dyer, wisdom, Your spirit on August 18, 2010 by Mandy
If you are unhappy, be unhappy.
Do not judge yourself for being that way.
It is wonderful to be unhappy, it is expressing emotion.
Love your unhappiness. It means you are ready for change.
You are ready to go forward, yet you mourn for the old;
you are not ready to let go.
Allow the unhappiness, there is purposefulness in it.
Remove from your life everything that inhibits you
from being the totality of yourself. That is called “becoming”.
Remove from your thoughts all the have to’s, should’s, must’s.
Remove the images you think you must be and just be.
Embrace your life. Know that you created it.
Love all that you have been, said and done.
Know it was all purposeful.
Never see anything as a failure.
See everything as an accomplishment.
Love the hurt, the pain, the sorrow.
For what an experience! What a wonderment!
What jewels of wisdom are now in your treasure!
Be your own teacher, friend, counsel.
Confide in yourself, speak to yourself.
Seek answers that feel right within your soul.
Your soul knows what the truth is,
and it will tell you through feelings.
Always listen to your feelings. They know … they know.
Live, experience, feel. Do not seek to identify yourself.
You will never have a point of understanding from which you
can say, “This is who I am!”, for in each expanding moment
of consciousness, who you are will have
changed into the next moment of being.
To know who you are is to feel what you feel each moment.
Never do anything, no matter how far you are into it,
if you lose the joy of it and it becomes monotonous and mundane.
Do away with it and do something else that brings happiness.
For perhaps what you needed to learn from it
you have already achieved.
Go wherever you want to go,
Do whatever you want to do,
for as long as you want to.
Create only for the mere joy of creating.
When you create for you, you will soon find yourself living in joy.
