What’s Your Journey
-
Behind the mask, I wore the shame,
A liar, a fake, a cheater’s name.
Empty and blind, I spun through the haze,
Divergent windows, a lost soul’s maze.
I held my scars, too tough to show,
Kept fear inside, let the darkness grow.
I faded away, a shadow thin,
Broken, unsure if I’d ever win.
I put on masks, I lost it all,
Words meant nothing, I’d let them fall.
Talking to the man in the mirror’s glare,
A stranger’s face, a hollow stare.
But from that pain, a seed was sown,
A journey began, and I’ve now outgrown.
The poison’s gone, the water’s clear,
A new path shines, though I still hold fear.
I thank the past, for it taught me well,
Through shadows deep, I rose from hell.
Like a child who grew up fast,
I see the dark, but it cannot last.
Now laughter rings where silence stayed,
True love blooms where doubt once played.
Desire burns, a passionate flame,
Success and joy have learned my name.
The stars I see now own the night,
They guide my soul, they shine so bright.
No heavy thoughts, no burdens to bear,
Just light and peace, floating in the air.
Grateful am I for the lessons learned,
For every scar, for every turn.
The poison’s gone, the water’s pure,
A heart once broken now feels secure.
So here I stand, with strength anew,
A life of light, a clearer view.
The man in the mirror, I now embrace,
A journey of love, of hope, of grace.

Guide me through your silent storms,
Where tears like rain keep us warm.
Paint my sky with starlit dreams,
In your eyes, the universe gleams.
Bring back the lover with whispered grace,
Echoes of stories time can't erase.
Why did your sorrow seep so deep,
Where did it hide when you couldn't sleep?
Trust shattered by chosen gales,
Inward battles, where silence prevails.
Why did you choose to break my heart,
Leaving me empty, torn apart?
Show me it's safe to trust anew,
That time can heal and spirits renew.
Your reality dances in a distant sphere,
In a galaxy untouched, yet near.
I promised you forever, heard the same,
Chasing rainbows, forgiving the rain.
Only truth remains, pure and clear,
Your honesty dispels the lingering fear.
Lost within the prism of your mind,
Desires frozen, yet fiercely entwined.
In love's labyrinth, confusion and lies,
Grateful for moments that defy the skies.
Appreciating the dance from dark to light,
Through time's embrace, stars fade from sight.
Yet love remains eternal and true,
In your galaxy, hidden from view.

Time travels through two woven baskets,
Woven baskets that rest upon a blanket that was once stitched,
Stitches of a love that has no end,
Threads that hold the memories that fly through gardens while they dance in the sun,
The baskets carry the time that was and is to come,
Time is something she has never lost,
Lost for those who don’t know how to love,
When love is pure, her garden grew up on the two,
Two is when she knew,
She knew her dream had come true,
Days of the past created motion on paper,
Now, they create two,
Two is the number of times it took,
Two is the number of hearts,
Two is what was created,
When she became the mother of two!
Two woven baskets that are now her two,
Her two hearts are now the stitches that hold the blanket,
Her two worlds that hold her true,
She is the most beautiful mother of two!!!
TWO is published in Volume One

Let me read your book and dance in your pages,
Pages of unscripted gravity that never lets you come down,
A gravity that brings me to a fiction-like truth,
A truth that leads us to speak with dead voices,
Dead voices of desire knock on locked doors.
Let me run my fingers over your words, finding stuff that you forgot,
Forgetting an understanding of what’s going on,
We don’t have to say a word when the lights go out.
Let me give you a reason to show me your inner sky,
A sky that frames hollow trees blowing in the breeze along a raging sea,
A raging sea that drowns me while saying, please forgive me.
Let me find your pulse before I plant your seed,
A seed so deep that it’s protected by an invisible fence that circles a stained glass house,
A house that holds memories of stuff you should forget,
Forgotten truths of shackled anger found deep in a cavernous jungle.
Let me taste your dream long enough to paint a picture,
A picture of a man who has no shadow on the wall,
A man with a story of seasoned pain.
Let me hold you long enough to spin uncontrollably in a lazy waltz,
A waltz to an underground road of mystery that takes me to you.
Let me be your dreamer tonight so that we can wake up tomorrow,
Some days are blind to who we are,
Some nights are endless with what we know,
Let me read your book so we can dance in your pages!!!

Sitting in silence,
Waiting to breathe,
Gasping without seeing,
Being without feeling,
Living without laughing,
Laughing without expressing!
Who comes to the door with nothing but nothing more?
The key never fits the lock on or around the sandpaper edges,
Dreamers’ smoke slides under the door, trying to mask the unwanted scent,
Cavernous-like screams fill the room, deeper than you know when you see what!
Who is this? Why are you here when you left so long ago,
Who were you when you locked the door?
Do I know your name? Have I shaken your hand?
Did you once say hello with a laughing smile,
Are you what you are or what you pretend to be?
Can you mend days of futures past, like living in a time machining pretending to know what is,
Am I the only one I know?
The only one who walks alone without trying to find a soul!
Excuse me for looking,
Do you know what?
What it is like hoping to be a dreamer tonight.
I haven’t located it yet,
Located the traveler in the night looking for a soul,
I think about your breath dusting in the wind,
Suffocated by fear grabbing the lights of night, but the love of your heart is the one thing that has never shined bright,
Excuse me for looking for the light in the night,
Can you see through my eyes to see my reality?
This is the night
Some days are blind to who we are, or is it what we see, that is really all we know!!!

Gently slide beneath me,
Like the sober days of embrace within,
Holding on to who never was or who might have been.
Open your faith, pull me closer in,
Tell me what heaven looks like before we begin.
Is heaven closer to your balanced memories,
Pushed so far away?
Read my words before the day is gone,
Before the locks fade away.
Lock my thoughts into yours,
Inhale my soul, exhale your desires,
Desires I already know have been.
Taste my forgiveness before you speak again,
Drive my scripture down your empty highway; let’s begin.
Show your world you know who I am!
My light will illuminate the unknown universe within,
Where all angels travel alone again,
Covered in paint-less murals,
Telling stories of my unseen verses,
Verses that now travel to follow my show again.
Follow me while falling from grace,
Deep into your empty space of the unknown within,
Wrapped in dreams of my show again.
Show me yours before I show you your sin,
Holding on to who you wish I am,
Unsure of who you think I am.
Show me who you are, and I’ll show you where to begin,
Trapped in my dreams,
Tied in ropes of memories, twisted in your serpent’s skin,
Sometimes, helping me find you again.
Bite my thirst, lose your keys,
Keys of forgiveness seen only within,
Wandering lost, wondering how,
How to open the locks,
Locks of lost keys that take me away again.
Locks that should have opened,
Doors locked to be opened to know me more.
Share with me what you’ve done,
I’ll share where the clocks have gone,
Clocks of your determined time,
Slowing down your second hand frozen within.
Frozen time travels fast, still wandering lost,
Still looking for your keys,
The keys to God’s sin.
God’s Sin is published in Volume Two.
