Flesh and Bones


Thoughts, thoughts circulate
Flesh, flesh and bones, strip away
Blood, blood pumps through veins
Heart, heart pounds fast

I am bare, I am naked
I am but a floating soul
I am, in my essence
I am without entity

A stage, it seems, forms beneath me
And spectators, surround me
Honesty in all its rawness
Overcloud the floor

I am, a journal
I am, a pirate chest
I am, a coffin, a garden
I am the yearning of humanity

Vulnerable, enduring
Lost and loving
Harmonious, musical
Pitiful, comical

I am, flesh and bones
Flesh and bones, stripped away
I am, adrenaline
Adrenaline coursing through veins
I am, awareness
Awareness of wise souls
I am, humanity.

The Better View (That's been there all along)


2 July 2011 at 03:57

A heart so cold, it turns to stone
Pitch black like the burnt ashes of fire
But what it fears is fiery heat
To burn beyond cold charcoal stone
Fire flickers like lightning bugs and nightingales 
Escaping from a nest
But nightingales bring different visions
Of happiness and lullabies
For fire may burn and ignite fear
The hatred and loathing of one's desire
And swallows all that stands its path
Igniting also insecurities of uncertainties
Overshadowing the vision of nightingales
Blinding one from peace and acceptance
For mistakes, every human makes
One may not be the best, but certainly is not worst
And time may only allow one to realise, 
the burning, the heat, not only burns desires, hatred and fear
But if dealt right, creates diamonds from black coal and stone
For beauty is happiness, beauty is in acceptance
Beauty is for letting the nightingales sing
when the fire has burnt and worn out
The aftermath of forgiving the fire and moving to the stars.

Lady of Eccentricity


10 October 2010 at 16:50

She's a beautiful lionness
That roars and growls for her territory
Seemingly tough, scary to the normal crowd
But for those above her, seemingly unimportant

She clutches to her heart, like a mother to her nestlings
She wraps her fears, like a spider to its prey
She catches thieves, and consumes them
Like a black widow to her mate.

She's a leopard, fast out of grasp.
She's a bee, pollinating the thirsty flowers.
She's a kitten, purring for comfort.
She's a sea mouse, rare and hidden.

She leaves a mark in her footsteps.
She moves forward with seeming ease.
She turns back to her past, with restlessness
For she fears that history, may become her future

She once felt abandoned and out of place.
She probably still does, but shows it, she does not.
But she knows not, that she bears a crown on her head
That in her world, she is queen not pond.

She's a hydrangea, not the venus that people see
She's soft and delicate, but adopts the armour of an armadillo
And the horns of a bull
Not just to scare, but to feel protected too

She's one in a trillion, she's special
if only she believed it too.
And knows, that there is more love in the few for her
Than the acting many.
