One Choice: Surrender or Struggle

So, as it turns out, life isn’t always easy. Not only that, but it can get so hard that many of us seriously consider giving up. Some of us come to see our lives as a type of prison, feeling caught in a trap of oppressive obligations, fruitless efforts and unsatisfying relationships. But is this really […]

The Child vs The Machine (Poem)

~The Child vs The Machine~ The child in me never died Somehow The Grand Old Patriarchy lost that battle Our forefathers were not so lucky Slaves to the gears Even the most playful souls grow weary Innocence lost To the demands of an archaic machine Heartless lines drawn in the mud of the ages Dubious […]

Forgotten Walls (Poem)

~Forgotten Walls~ The movement of our lives Painting rudimentary patterns on forgotten walls Day to day Repetition is decay Are we living for love? Are we growing into the truth? Barely evolving We pretend to stand so tall And yet Something vital is missing Something the birds know Where is the ease? The flow? The […]

Still We March (Poem)

  ~Still We March~ Steadily towards the blazing horizon We’re well on our way now Away from the childhoods that sent us marching Fervently waving burning flags and makeshift identities Politely shouting our egos into the stifled wilderness The neglected corridors of this naïve society Echo unheard cries This blinded new world of glittering deceptions […]

A Lifelike Dream (Original Poem)

~A Lifelike Dream~ In the beginning there was a light So warm Your heartbeat The rhythm of my world Echoing softly through the ocean that held me My heart spoke You were always there Listening Wrapped in the fleece of your soft voice Cradled by your tender eyes Wheels turn Stars vanish from the sky […]

Benevolent Creatures (Original Poem)

~Benevolent Creatures~ You are loved Dear child There’s nothing I want more Than for you to understand this With all your heart You are not alone All your tears Are precious jewels Glistening a simple truth I smile quietly And sigh At this familiar sorrow These loose threads Lying scattered on the ground By your […]

Love Is Real

As I explore the world of constructed identities and realities, I believe it’s essential that I move forward with the understanding that love is real. Indeed, in this world full of so many lies and delusions, love may be the only thing that is real. As I continue inquiring into the constructed nature of self, […]

Blush and Sigh (Original Poem)

~Blush and Sigh~ Her eyes Luminous jewels  Her skin Warm satin Every time I see her smile My heart is born again Beauty is my salvation Let the past burn She beckons with her naked body A vision before me Come to me She says Into me Quiet jazz We dance Skin against skin We […]

Could You Rise? (Original Poem)

~Could You Rise?~ Every person you meet Has a special gem of wisdom to share with you Every encounter A unique opportunity To learn something vital About your true self A chance to shed the chains That bind you to the past You are more than you have led yourself to believe Every time I […]

A Familiar Guest (Original Poem)

~A Familiar Guest~ Hello old fear Welcome back But you never left Did you? Indeed You’ve made yourself at home Here In the bosom of my being Well I think I’ll join you Are you comfortable in that chair? It’s funny you picked that one It’s very special There’s a lot of history behind it […]
