Eyes wide shut ~ June 26, 2016

You love, but you are running on empty

New eyes that see with disappointment 

Running on empty

Seeing the reality; the ugly truth

Running on empty 

Overvaluing situations 

Running on empty 

Discovering new truths

Running on empty 

Questioning why something you thought was so beautiful no longer is.

Running on empty 

Eyes wide open 

Running on empty

Waking up from a dream that never was.

Running on empty 

And yet with all the emptiness, there’s still hope that the touch of your love left some color in the emptiness.

Sunkissed – June 16, 2016

I’ll meet you in that seldomly occuring space  between the sun and the moon,

Where my breath escapes me.

A rare meeting of lovers located at two different ends of the world,

The North and South poles anxious to live the splendor of their union,

From the East he awakens in all his grandeur;

An eternity of oceans and worlds away, he waits.

Casting her glow from the West she starts ascending towards him.

Floating, beaming with an air of mystery and seduction she smiles her devilish smile.

Such a beautiful finale to the day’s end,

Passion oozing into the sky, as when heat waves evaporate into the air,

Culminating in an explosion of love caused by their long awaited kiss goodbye.

Free Thinkers – June 14, 2016

Who are Free Thinkers.jpg

“Let’s change the world,” he said.

“How?” she asked.

“Start with love, and go back to the beginning,” he responded, “everything you were taught as a child needs some re-visiting.”

“What do you mean?” She looked at him in awe.

“Whatever feels natural, whatever feels good, that’s what you must follow…” he replied, continuing on in a very gentle and loving voice, “Look around you, and then look inside yourself, and then after that, ask yourself what makes sense, and what doesn’t? “

He leaned in closer and whispered with passion, “the more truthful you are with yourself about your life it will start having an impact on everything around you.  But, in order to do so, you must be brave.  Don’t let fear cloud your judgment.  Follow through, always acting out of love. That alone will give you clarity, and change your reality.  We are free thinkers, and we are here to change the world….”

A Letter to Guarded Hearts – June 9, 2016

Beatles

We are not supposed to say what we feel.

We fear that in doing so,

We will expose ourselves too much;

That we might lose in the very same game that we ourselves choose to play.

We long for connection, but deny it to ourselves.

We prefer superficiality to guard ourselves from any pain.

We choose emptiness, at the slightest idea of missing someone.

But, I ask you this, do you really feel alive?

Enjoy the Ride – June 7, 2016

A ladder leading to the skies.

Mobs of souls waiting to ascend to the heavens.

Reviewing lessons, and reminiscing about joyful moments now in the past.

We wait.

We look around the sea of people, anxiously excited to get to the top.

We take several steps.

We speak and dream of the excitement that awaits.

We continue moving upwards in an orderly fashion for our turn.

We have been here so many times, yet we always yearn for more.

The sky above us glitters.

We move upwards, and finally it’s our turn.

Our team of souls now entering the rocket seats, side by side, hand in hand.

We shoot straight vertically upwards in a 90 degree angle to the skies.

And enjoy the twists and turns, dips and circles, of this ride,

Called life.

The Power to Freeze Time – June 2, 2016

Mesmerizing eyes drawing her out of the crowd.

Bold and overpowering, she held off just for a moment, denying the over reaching call of his stare.

She waited. 

Intense and alluring, she playfully swayed as he intensely commanded her attention. She could sense his presence from behind.

She waited.

Like an eagle about to fetch his prey, his bold eyes beckoned at her.

She turned.

Eyes colliding like starts collapsing into each other in an atomic reaction of never ending love.

Time had stopped.

 Together they had the power to freeze time.
