refuse to accept violence as a viable solution to any problem!
refuse to accept hatred as an acceptable response to anything!
refuse to let terror strike fear into my heart!
refuse to let hatred into my heart!
refuse to let my love and compassion be drowned in blood!
refuse to give up any more freedom under the disguise of security!
resist temptation to follow their lead, to follow their ways!
resist to follow the crowd into revenge!
resist temptation to fuel the hate!
resist to follow into violence for it will foster nothing more!
I know I can do better, and I know, so can you!
Should you choose to!

Random Encounters
Just a smile, was where it began,
another random encounter,
unlike the majority, running deeper,
feeling strangely close and comfortable
was it just a figment of my imagination?
a kiss, up high in the night sky,
a million lights, and even the full moon
outshone by your glow, the light in your eyes
shot up high into the sky,
the moment where gravity is unreal;
feeling free with the desert wind,
ephemeral moments in time;
memories to be cherished
so surreal, and strangely real
when time spent is too short,
when there is a million things to say, to ask and take in;
and yet nothing has to be said or done,
random encounters that touch the soul
can they ever last long enough?
and how random are they really?

Flow
And the moon disappears
as the darkness of the night takes a hold.
howling in the distance
humans and animals alike!
can you see the dark side of the moon?
can you feel the absolute flow of love in the air?
Free people floating about as one great spirit!

Like an Ocean
Are you an ocean, the sea at large?
Lost at all times,
always where you are meant to be!
Painting pictures of the sky!
Extreme are your choices!
Extreme are your ways
as you flush away the mess we made,
flush it all away!

Worth remembering?
3:30 am, as the birds start to sing,
madness is still in full swing
letting it out, breathing it in.
what words are worth remembering?
most likely all those that we forget
time and space are crumbling on each other
circles with no ends, and no bridges to get over the gaps
deep black holes, drawing us in
where have we gone, the you and I
we knew
or are they still here with us?
spinning in our graves ?
madness in full swing,
whirling like the wind
already overstimulated, aren’t we ?
pushing to keep habits alive!
there is no more
room for error
cause we already fucked it up so many times!
what words are worth remembering?
probably those that we forget!

Higher
decadence is growing
can you feel it flowing
pushing the envelope
more and more!
keep on going
burn your soul!
let it go up in divine,
cleansing flames
purifying, freely consuming,
burning with and inside your soul
the fire lets you fly so much higher.

Busy?
so busy looking for what we think we need
we forget to see
see all that is around us
for what it is
that is pure magic
so busy looking
for what we seek
we forget to see
all the wonders
that surround us in magic
when we came to be
in this world,
we knew how to see
so, please, let us remember, the energy, the magic.
to see.

faces from the past
faces from the past
resurging around me
some seen with pleasure
some seen in disgust
what they all have in common
is the touch
they left on my soul

Let Go
The chaos of fully letting go
such purity, can you deny the beauty?
can you really force your control,
on such beautiful madness?
infinity in a breath,
it’s all here, right now, such freedom!
In a drop, we’re all that’s left in the dust
of our bones we float freely on the edge,
stare into the sun, on our way to mars,
we burn, become one.

Blood Moon
The blood moon makes me march to war!
not your war, my dear world
not your human war either!
No, my war!
the battlefield of my life!
will you march by my side ?
but into your own battles ?
The war of our souls to create meaning in this life!
We Are! The blood moon on the rise.

Run
Run on down,
remembering;
you have to break lose!
cut all your ties,
every now and then.
Stay in your flow;
stay the one you chose,
find the balance between the two.
it’s not too soon, and not too late.
Come on, run on down,
remembering;
you have to break lose!
let go of all your ego,
go back to when
you still had your glow;
bring it back with you,
here and now in the blue
It’s your choice to remember and move, move as you, run on!

Breathe - Surrender
surrender to your self,
surrender to your subconscious,
your mind doesn't know until it's too late,
so surrender to your subconscious,
let go of what you think you can control,
and you’ll be able to breathe,
your mind already knows before you even register it all,
so breathe,
breathe in the awe of what you’re capable of, without even knowing you are.

the grip
You cast no shadow,
the darkness in you
is not your own.
You have your own,
held captive by someone or something
who’s hiding inside of you
Can you break their grip and
cast your own
shadow and light of only your own
That’s the beauty of your soul
your own yin and yang
complete in your own
Can you break the grip
of whatever is feeding on your soul
cast your own shadow in your own light!

Dream no more?
half asleep, half awake,
we dream no more!
and when we dream no more,
are we no more?
are we free when we dream no more?
are we free if we dream no more?
could we be?
NO WAY!
the only way to stay sane is to dream more!
on and on!

Noise or Sound
speak to me,
but I can’t hear a word of what you say
it’s all drowning in the sounds of eternity
coming and going, flowing all about
absolute abundance
of life
of pain
of loss
of gain
second by second, I live, I die
one moment at a time; it’s alright!
I’ll hear what I have to see
what the noise of life is letting through

Fit in?
Do you want an ordinary life?
Do you envy those that don’t see past what their eyes perceive?
How can you crave so badly just to fit in?
How can you aim to be but an average John Doe?
When there is so much magic in your soul!
Is it the old craving for what you haven’t got?
Don’t you want to push the envelope?
Don’t you want to embrace the magic all the way ?

Progression
madness came from sadness
loneliness is where it began.
acceptance of the madness
brought about peace.

My Madness
is my madness my demise?
or
is my madness my cure?
for sure, it is
the sphere inside the cube.

The new
Can you see it in their faces?
the fear of the new, of the unknown?
taught to forget all curiosity
staying only with what they know!
it is sad madness to see
all this beauty pass them by unnoticed,
unaccepted!
Come on, wake up! And embrace the new!

Divine Smiles
Loosing myself in the music,
the crowd of people and ghosts,
flowing, growing,
out of my self,
get out; go inside to change the outside.
Leave these planes and let the universe take over!
Let go, be free, breathe!
Divine Smiles! Nothing more!
