The shrill and unsettling cacophony of coyotes Split the dawn sky and shattered the fragile moonbeams Moonbeams of illusion shining softly through the dewdrops That lie dreaming on the skylight of my mind This is not a gentle world There is a disintegration or a tearing apart Of everything that exists In this mad and excruciatingly [...]
I dare tell no one, it will confirm their fears that I am crazy or at least hopelessly odd, melancholy and stricken senseless with grief. But long ago you ignited my heart with the fire of bliss and then took possession of it. You locked it away and threw the key into the deepest part [...]
Why does my heart feel like the graveyard of my dreams? Cold and dead to the warmth and comfort of Your love Void of hope and the simple joy of being In the karma storm of my own creation The walls of my life are caving in around me Threatening to extinquish the flickering Light [...]
