Drift

We are drifters passing through life

With no roots to hold us down grounded to mother earth

In spirit we live knowing you can kill the body not the soul

Voyages sometimes lead us in directions we do not understand

Comprehension comes into clarity once we open our hearts

Stop living from the mind

Where ambiguous emotions confuse and

From conscious sentiments where truth is

Sometimes obscured in hollow laughter

And silent tears

There is no anchor tied to our life

Without that, we drift…

All About the Ring

Beauty that shines like the stars in heaven

Sensual comfort fit

Wrapped neatly around your finger

How many diamonds does it have?

Is the clarity bad?

Does it outshine the moon?

Can it be seen across the vast seas?

Will it bring you contentment?

The larger the more happiness promised

Is your love measured by how massive the stone is?

Is your heart so shallow that the only thing

Conceived is the price tag hanging from it

What happens if it’s lost or stolen?

Will your love suddenly fade away?

How much more do you treasure

The superficial piece of happily ever after

What if there was no ring presented to you

Would your love suddenly get amnesia

Is it more important than the heart that’s

Offering you a spiritual connection

In the end it’s been all about the ring

Not what it should stand for

Images

Horrible images running

 through my head

Gun shots sounding off

in the distance

I see a blood moon setting

 Awaiting a sunrise

that will never come

Tears fill the land

Cries ring forth

The wailing so

Horrid, I close my ears

To the sound

Putrid flesh I smell

Hangs in the night air

Moaning and weeping

Shrill voices sing out

To a God gone and forgotten

Blood flows like a river

Souls carried away

In the torrent

Lifeless, ghost of youth

Pass away

Horrid images running through

My head

Save them, save them

The walking dead

Too many images castrate

Them from my mind

I see the spirits of the

Lost and forgotten

Gehenna is their home

Images to bare, my hell

So alone

So alone
