like the river needs
the ocean
like the moon needs
the night
like my soul needs
you…
when it comes
to baring
confronting your own
in naked truth
*
so much more
spoken in
silence

at the crossroads of thought
reflection takes flight within
journey’s through floating seas
held into the depth of night
sing to me this heart of soul
embraces of desires subdue
quenching heating fevers
giving all of myself to you
unite your words of wisdom
shelter the gates of my heart
hold these ardent promises
honoring truth to never be apart
sing to me sweet carnal arrest
infuse this inner fire of love
*
let me kiss these flaming desires
and show you where love begins
***
as time weaves
upon the canvas
of my emotions

If you are unhappy, be unhappy.
Do not judge yourself for being that way.
It is wonderful to be unhappy, it is expressing emotion.
Love your unhappiness. It means you are ready for change.
You are ready to go forward, yet you mourn for the old;
you are not ready to let go.
Allow the unhappiness, there is purposefulness in it.
Remove from your life everything that inhibits you
from being the totality of yourself. That is called “becoming”.
Remove from your thoughts all the have to’s, should’s, must’s.
Remove the images you think you must be and just be.
Embrace your life. Know that you created it.
Love all that you have been, said and done.
Know it was all purposeful.
Never see anything as a failure.
See everything as an accomplishment.
Love the hurt, the pain, the sorrow.
For what an experience! What a wonderment!
What jewels of wisdom are now in your treasure!
Be your own teacher, friend, counsel.
Confide in yourself, speak to yourself.
Seek answers that feel right within your soul.
Your soul knows what the truth is,
and it will tell you through feelings.
Always listen to your feelings. They know … they know.
Live, experience, feel. Do not seek to identify yourself.
You will never have a point of understanding from which you
can say, “This is who I am!”, for in each expanding moment
of consciousness, who you are will have
changed into the next moment of being.
To know who you are is to feel what you feel each moment.
Never do anything, no matter how far you are into it,
if you lose the joy of it and it becomes monotonous and mundane.
Do away with it and do something else that brings happiness.
For perhaps what you needed to learn from it
you have already achieved.
Go wherever you want to go,
Do whatever you want to do,
for as long as you want to.
Create only for the mere joy of creating.
When you create for you, you will soon find yourself living in joy.
