Fantastical burning


Upon moment of contact
crackles into existence this
fantastical burning within

Reminiscers of lust
and fresh blooming desire
Torch my insides
til I must outwardly express

Patience, patience...
wait for the opportune moment...
Finally!
So suddenly played out beautifully
Flames licking at our skin
climbing higher and higher
Confusion
bliss
fantasies
fear
excitement
generosity of spirit
Breathe!
Remember myself in all this
I must still exist to my utmost genuineness

Eve Anew



Tendrils twisting
this swirling haze
What lays beneath that curling fog
Relaxed
i presume the position
Eased
and effortlessly focusing on whatever comes to mind
What do i seek
Above or beneath this soothing cloud?
Sense of calm
or worse-
numbness
I do not feel numb though
I just feel more at ease with
what I please...
Why worry right?
Though i could quickly plunge
down that road...
Let's choose a warm breeze,
a crisp autumn afternoon,
a surroundingly silent snowstorm,
a sizzling summer shore...

Musement


Patterns
Feelings
Desires
Goals
Plans
Seeking out meaningful connections and conversations
real experiences
no superficial rituals and roles
Mind wandering this way and that
where will it rest?
Rest
Up and down
left and right
every which way
which one to stay
for a while
Adventuresome
yet attached to comfortable familiarity
some sort of conglomeration
Gotta piece together a path in the "right" direction

Paradoxum

Am I on the verge of a breakdown?
I feel so crazy-
almost like the flip of a switch
from sad,
angry,
happy...
I struggle to feel okay
I speak of balance
are my actions reflecting this?
Stretched thin
across my life
like a tanner's hide
Teetering on the cusp of a damaging r-r-rip!
Am I experiencing "normally"?
I recognize my general dilemmas as common to others
but does everyone have such a roller coaster ride of emotions?
I hold within
then eventually vent
and yet
I need to stand up
Tall and Strong
Allow myself to fully stretch
into this phase of life
the burn could just be a life lesson
"growing pain"
it will pass right?
I feel so shaky,
u n s e t t l e d
O V E R W H E L M E D
The multitude of situations, decisions,
consequences, outcomes,
possibilities, joys, distractions,
passions, pains, challenges,
duties, guilt, selfish desires,
selfish wishes,
loneliness, longing,
ALL JUMBLED!
Whirling, swirling,
as we watch the gaseous orb burn across the sky
as the planets make their revolutions around the sun
I can feel any and all of these...
Just breathe
Take some time to breathe
Stop shutting down to the self and loved ones
Look how far I have made it through this journey
My heart still aches
with indecision
paralyzed by fear
Mind gripped in anxiety!
Relax
Release
Walk into this World
With Your Head Up High
