Suddenly
The heart goes to a place
Where there is
No end.
Suddenly
Unexpectedly
Not only when you think it should
It bends
Dipping low
Pouring out love all aglow.
Suddenly
The heart goes
Where hearts go
And bend.

Let me settle down
My anger now is very, very profound.
You took a life, meant nothing to you
Just something in your way
With a swipe, you took a life away
Didn’t miss a stride nor did your heart skip a beat
You went on like nothing bad marked your soul
Or was there blood on your saintly hands
You smiled, laughed, no trace upon your angelic face
Of the death someone has to face
A death you caused, you alone.
It may have been just a little creature
Living life in the space you called your own
You crushed the breath from that creature’s chest
You ground your shoe in the sand
Leaving no trace of a life
That may have been so grand.
Life is precious
Intertwined with all we see
Combined to grow, prosper alongside one another
Whether we walk, run, leap or crawl
You’re not alone nor can you make it alone
Don’t kill those whose heart sings a different beat
Instead remember
We need one another in this life we been shown.

Much has been said and no one is right
All must bond, sitting together tonight
Saying not a word til dawn’s morning light
Then only if heartfelt last night
More can be said by not saying a thing
A nod, a wave can convey everything.
Follow your soul, your heart and your mind
Say the words slow, let them trickle
Giving time to know what they are
Making sure they’re clearly defined
So one can say
Not much has been said but all is sublime.

Dear sweet spirit take control
Guide my hand, my heart
And please my soul.

Soft and tender my heart waits to remember
Kisses, caresses I’ve lived in my life, seen in my life
Gentle and kind
Making my world one I don’t mind.
The heart is full with it all
Trying to make sense of it all
Because blessed we be
When in the midst of some senseless tragedy
We see a soul soft and tender
That’s when we remember
Remember our heart is full, full of it all
Soft and tender.

When the world is your oyster
And your heart filled with gold
Come tell me your story
And together we’ll build
Something breathtakingly bold.

Bright in the night
The sky illuminates my life
Clouded troubles just float by
No remorse, no cry.
Ground coming up
More so to stop
The heart of my soul
From giving up.
Not and never alone
Standing on earth
In a mist
Of heaven held love.

Deep in your soul
Deep in your heart
A thought stirs
Reaching up.
Change the world
Change what you receive
Change what you’ve got.
No heart weeps alone
No mind holds just one thought
Seek the friend that you had
Be alright with the differences
You’ve got.
Miracles don’t just happen
Or are tragedies sought
Do the best you can
Cause your heart and soul
Are all you’ve got.

Pour my heart out
Pour it out like there will never
Be an end.
Let it out
Let it be full of nothing
But the love I feel for you.
Pouring out
Filling up the world
To all ends.

Poetry
Taken from the pages
Of anarchy
Full in the hearts of subtlety
Showing no malice is
Poetry.
Poetry
Why have you come
To be my destiny?
Nothing matters but
The throes of the heart in
Poetry.
Poetry
Anger, passion, full
Of the vacant sound coming
From that original sin
Even then
Blessed is the heart
That changes history with
Poetry.
Poetry
No one can know what
Could have been
My heart, my love and
All life has been and now
Come be within
Poetry.
