WHAT LIES BENEATH

What am I?
Am I the person I present to the world?
Am I something else?

I have so many faces.
I don't know which one is real anymore.
Who is the real me?

I have become such an adept performer in my life
I think I lost me.
Which one is my true my face?
Who is the real me?
And how do I find her?

WHAT IS REAL?

There are so many dimensions of reality.
Do we really know what is real?
Is reality only what our senses pick up?
Or is what we feel in our heart?

Are perceptions reality?
Are feelings and emotions reality?
Is our reality with in our touch?
Or could it be beyond that?
What is it?

LOST

I feel so lost at times.
I try to find the right path.
There are so many,
How do you know which is the right one?
There are so many twists and turns
It's impossible.

How do you find this path if you are
blind,deaf and mute?
Is there an inner guide that knows?
Does the universe provide you with a guide.
Are you Her?

WORDS

WORDS HURT.
ONE CARELESS WORD CAN UNDO A LIFETIMES WORK.
SO PAY SPECIAL HEED WHAT YOU SAY TO ME MY FRIEND.
PLEASE DO NOT HURT ME BY A THOUGHTLESS PHRASE.

WORDS STAB
WOUNDS UNSEEN.
PAIN AND LONELINESS BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE
BY ONE SLIP OF THE TONGUE
A THOUGHT THAT SHOWS ALL MY WEAKNESS.

WORD ARMOUR IS WHAT I NEED
TO FIGHT OFF THE ATTACK OF AN UNSEEN ENEMY
WORDS.

TRUST


CAN I TRUST PEOPLE WITH MY HEART?
CAN I SHOW SUCH WEAKNESS

MY MIND SAYS LOUDLY NO!!!!
MY HEART CRIES AND BEGS YES!!!!!!!!!
MY SOUL IS SIMPLY NOT SPEAKING
IT REMAINS SILENT NO MATTER HOW OFTEN I ASK

WHAT DO I DO?
WHERE CAN I TURN?
WHO CAN I ASK?
HELP.
LEAD ME TO A TRUSTING HEART.
I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT MY FEAR

UNTOLD LOVE

OUR LOVE IS UNSTATED BUT IT IS THERE.
WE FEEL IT.
IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED.

WE MOVE THROUGH A PATH OF LEARNING;
LEARNING ABOUT EACH OTHER;
LEARNING OUR WAY;
CARING, UNDERSTANDING, SHARING, LOVING.

WILL WE ACCOMPLISH OUR TASK?
OF COURSE NO ONE KNOWS.
WILL WE KNOW OUR LOVE?
OUR HEARTS KNOW.

TOGETHER WE ARE ONE

WE ARE SO DIFFERENT.
WE ARE SO ALIKE.
WE SEARCH FOR THE SAME THINGS.
WE NEED THE SAME THINGS.
WE SEEK IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
WE ARE TWO PARTS OF ONE SOUL.
TOGETHER WE ARE ONE.

YOU ARE THE LIGHT.
I AM THE DARKNESS.
WE ATTRACT EACH OTHER.
WE NEED EACH OTHER.
TOGETHER WE ARE ONE.

DARK WARRIOR

SHE HEARS THE STING OF A BEE
AND THE FLAP OF A BUTTERFLIES
WING

SHE KNOWS ALL AND SEES ALL
AND YET SHE IS STILL SEEKING

SHE HAD A DARK PAST BUT SHE
SEES A BRIGHT FUTURE. SHE IS
GUIDED BY A GIFTED FORCE A
POSITVE TO HER NEGATIVE.
THEY ARE SEEKING TOGETHER

THEY KNOW THEIR PATH, THEIR
WAY. THEY MAY FAIL BUT THEY
SEEK IT, TOGETHER
