Beautiful piece by Daya Bhuteshu (via Tumblr)

In my works,

thoughts,

spaces between thoughts

and in lucid,

heart-pounding daydreams,

she radiates 
and 
infiltrates

heart’s windows,

as warm,

sunbeams;

surrounding

and

evaporating

the world’s chills,

having become love’s 
prescription

to my
 loneliness,

while 
sparking

imagination

to dry-up

the cool puddles of rain,

which reality

often

times 
wrings 
and spills.

i ruminate,

walking through

her 
calming fields

to escape

for 
seemingly

endless 
hours,

inhaling the purest scents of love,

imagining her piercing eyes,

wind-tousled hair
 and soft,

gently tanned skin,

as even the sunflowers

turn from their solar namesake,

to bask in my muse’s gaze;

even twisting upon 
their stems

to stay 
within.

Shattered Pieces…

imageSHATTERED PIECES

Shattered pieces

And

Confusion

Is all that remains

In my memories

Of you now…

Forever left

To wonder why

You chose

The path

That you did –

So cold and strange…

I cared

And

Valued

You greatly

But obviously

You didn’t feel the same way…

After years of talking & thinking

We’d built a solid

Bond

Based upon Friendship…

You didn’t even care

Enough

To take the time

To communicate things properly –

One day

Saying

One thing

Then the next day

Nothing…

Our connection

Obliterated…

Leaving just an echo

Of empty silence

To remain forever

In regret…

Sadly

I meant

That little to you

That you couldn’t

Even

Give me that much

Respect…

You just left me hanging

To feel

Foolish

And

Used…

I thought I knew you.

I thought you were a good soul.

I thought you were my friend.

I thought you cared.

How wrong was I…

Searching…

SEARCHING

I’m searching for a

Magical place

Such as this…

So deep

Within my burning soul

I can rest my weary bones

And become Free…

To find a peace

That I need

For healing

This heart and head of mine…

And where I can

Replenish

In it’s essence

Of pure

And

Natural

Wonder

That is Everlasting…

Moving On…

MOVING ON

Left raw

And

Confused

But facing forward is the only way to forget…

The good…

the bad…

and the ugly…

Memories of you!

Back towards

The Future

Where the warmth

Of sunlight flows

To heal this head, heart and soul…

Through moving on

And not looking back

Like a fool…

Book Excerpt: The Portable Henry by Henry Rollins

Excerpt from ‘The Portable Henry’ by Henry Rollins

“It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t come back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain. Damn, there’s nothing like that, is there? I’ve been there and you have too. You’re nodding your head.”

Just like Alice…

JUST LIKE ALICE

Spiralling

Falling

Down I go…

Where

Or When

It will end

No one seems to know…

Into a

Fucking

Rabbit’s Hole

I go…

What a fool

I’ve been…

As the hand of cards

Crash around

Taking me

Into a land

Strange

And unknown –

Just like Alice

In Wonderland

I go….

#PS: Beware of the Cheshire Cat…

For are they Friend or Foe?!?
