LIES
Lie to me
or don’t lie to me
It doesn’t shake me
To my core
It doesn’t shatter
My view of the world
I’ll learn the lesson
Continue to soar
Lie to me
Or don’t lie to me
You have no power anymore
Your lies are an expression
Of a truth you ignore
Lie to me
Or don’t lie to me
It matters no more
I am thankful for the chance
To witness myself
As I continue to believe
In love, trust and respect
In the face of those
Who lie, deceive and deflect
Go in peace
I forgive you
I don’t condone
The things you do
There is peace in my heart
That comes with
Releasing you.

MEDIOCRE
Rage and anger stir inside me
Starting with the thoughts in my head
Falling rapidly
Growing like an avalanche
Into a mass of darkness
Heading towards my chest.
As the devil sits on my shoulder
Pulling at my earlobe:
“Eye for an eye,” he says
“Why turn the other cheek?
When you would be justified
In bringing them to their knees
Don’t you want to see your reflection
In tears in their eyes?
Don’t you want to release your anger
By bringing forth their demise?
It’s not like they don’t deserve it
They caused you so much pain
Release it
Crush them
I promise you
The pain will go away!”
My heart is pure
The darkness surrounding it
Will not compromise the light
I stand for what’s right
The best revenge is to rise
Above the desires of the flesh
This rage can be used as fuel
To become the best version of myself
While they continue to be
Mediocre.

fake bars
My Heart stands behind bars
Made out of thoughts.
She pulls at the chains of restraint
And searches for a glimmer of light
To shine through the darkness of shame and doubt.
Eager she stands, waiting
Desperate to be seen
Hopeful and patient
Passionate, deserving and desiring!
My Heart could swim with the sharks
She could howl with the wolves
And hang with the lions.
Instead, here she is…
Trapped and hidden,
“Safe” and “protected”
Behind a fortress of caution and regrets!
We use the bricks life throws at us
To build walls around us.
We build on a foundation of “what if’s?”
Instead of learning a lesson,
We pick up false beliefs.
Instead of owning a mistake,
We find someone to blame.
Instead of expressing our love,
We hold it in!
But her strength is revealed in her perseverance.
My heart is still standing,
looking beyond what’s behind these bars.
She still pulls at the chains
That seem to hold her back.
She still searches for hope.
She dares to dream
That the day will come
When she will be released.

Together apart
When I lay with you
All my troubles fade away
We talk
And for a moment
Its just you and me.
You kiss me
And I’m completely present
In this moment.
I would come to you
Hungry for more and more
Insatiable,thirsty and determined
Until the lack of space
Drains our desires.
And the intensity fades
Like fireworks
Into little specks
Of light and smoke.
In an attempt to build and preserve
Our connection
I will sit in my loneliness
And my pain
You deserve to be more
Than just an escape:
A tool to cope with
All the troubles in my world.
I commit to being consistent
In all my dealings with you.
I will lay with you
When your heart desires
When you reach out to me
When your soul needs an instrument
To gently play on
Like a feather
Floating on a soft breeze.
I am here
Whenever you need peace.

Unbound
There’s a flood of understanding
A symphony of compatibility
That delivers us from this moment
But, paradoxically,
Binds us to each other
For infinity.
It rises within us
Just like a tide
And falls just to gather
The strength to rise.
Free from judgement
Unchained from pride
When the waters are still
Danger is lurking inside.
There is no room for Fear
In this sacred place
In order to steer clear of her deadly embrace
We must master the courage
To look her in the face.
And after the sea
Gets dark and angry
And its strength has been unveiled
There is beauty
In the wake of this affair
And safety
In the calm that prevailed.
So raw and uninhibited
Bound but unbound
This surge is unyielding
Found but unfound.
And so…
We rest in the realization
We knew this from the start
Free in the moment
Trapped in your heart.
