Soul

Soul
So light, I am in flight Hands free... roamin' around...Passing through frames of time,What you are to do, I sense it too And you are to say, "Are you okay?"My eyes are closed...That's what it does, in order to see.What I feel... you can't What I think... you do I am you, but you can never be me Until you, just like me...Go through the pain of being set free.

My Words

My Words
Those of us who cannot verbalize the emotions we feel Speak the words in written form.I have so much to say But difficulty comes in speaking the words.When I write my heart speaks the words my lips cannot,It's like a dam giving wayTo all that I feel Comes rushing forth.Sometimes it's light and carefree,Other times it's so deep and painful.So please forgive me when I stumble on the spoken word,If it's true that the eyes are the window to the heart,Then you can see all that I feel And feel all that I love..

Soul Remembered

Soul Remembered
From where I came,This soul of mine,Perhaps forgotten,Lost in time,Yet to dream,of heaven''s door.Only to pray,Lord, I''m searching for more.Trying to remember,Least I forget.Past lives, past loves,memories yet.So, behind every tree,Near every brook.I''ve laid my soul,Like an open book.For all to read,Know how I feel.This life I hold dear,Is this really real.

Do You Ever Look At The Sky

Do You Ever Look At The Sky?
Do you ever look at the sky? What do you see?Do you see the sun rising at the far horizon Filling the sky with intense light and color?Do you feel its warmth, its life giving energy?Do you see the dense clouds covering the blue?Do you see the gray sky and the wet falling rain?Do you see the gloom or its life giving power?Do you see a rainbow in its enchanting colors Encircling the earth in a real aura of glory?Tying us all together in a ring of true love?Do you see the darkness, the blackness of the night?Or the myriads of bright, twinkling little stars?Do you see the infinite immensity of the universe?Do you see your spirit deep, very deep within Filled with energy, power, and infinite love?Do you see in your spirit the meaning of it all?Do you ever look at the sky? What do you see?Do you have a glimpse, just a glimpse of eternity?

The Soul Queen

The Soul Queen

At night

she took me for

a ride in her

royal chariot

illuminating the

darkness of the town

as if awakening

the dream with

the rose of the heart

one hand in the

milk of the arms

and another in

the freedom

of the dream

proclaiming love

to the people

driving the world mad

she guides the

galaxy boasting

of her adventure

surpassing the

guardians of

countries and the

borders of regions.

I was the companion

of the Queen

while bequeathing

the rose of slumber

upon the night.

Naked Soul

Naked Soul

She saw my body

and said:

" Leave your shirt

in the breeze

of the night

reveal wandering

souls

Ascending

with it

the shadow

of the dream

towards the bliss

of interpretation

going naked

away from you

heading

towards me.

Only You

Only You

She stopped me

passionately saying:

" I only appear

at night

and i ascend

to nothing

but a throne

and i stand by

nothing but justice

and i reveal

myself to nobody

but to a lover

as you

and i bear witness

to nothing but

to love

and i go nowhere

but to you

and i read

nothing but

your verse

and i know

no name

but yours

and i dress

for nobody

but you

and i never

undress but

with you

and i do not

rejoice

but for you

and i never

grieve

but on you

and i hear

no voice

but yours

and i write

nothing without

your inspiration

and i understand

nothing

but your text

and i enter

no home

but yours

and lay

in no bed

but yours

and nothing

keeps me warm

but your arms

and nothing

intoxicates me

but your wine

and i drink

nothing but

your nectar

and nobody can

make my butterfly

but you

and not a soul

possesses me

but you

and nobody

acquires me

but only you.
