Fit in?

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 ?

Same Shit? Please ??!?!!??

in

Please give them the same over and over;
please shove it down their throat
that’s the way they seem to like it.

Please repeat the same shit all the time,
please stay ordinary and in line
that’s what gets them going.

Are they really only pleased
by the mundane comfort of the known?
Please set them free!
Please let them open their mind!
Please let them appreciate something new!

Lost Love - Love Lost

in

Finding you in this mad world,
let me step into heaven on earth.
You just blew my mind,
until I found myself shackled to the ground

If you love me, leave me
so we can be one freely!
Oh if you love me, leave me;
as I leave you,
free to be with(out) me

Obligations became the order of the day.
and where did our fire go?
Ashes turned to diamond bars
holding my mind caged like an animal.
Or was it just me, blinded by the fury that was your love?

If you love me, leave me
so we can be one freely!
Oh if you love me, leave me;
as I leave you,
free to be with(out) me

You let me, past the gates,
let me into your heaven!
why oh why did I end up behind bars
harder than steel, yet subtle like the wind;
when you knew I long to run freely
right beside you.

If you love me, leave me
so we can be one freely!
Oh if you love me, leave me; as
I leave you, free to be with(out) me

Force of Habit

in

Circling and cycling ideas in my head,
but life confronts me, over and over with the same challenges.
I wonder:
Am I in charge through;
or am I a victim of:

Force of habit,
forced by my habits?
forced liked the sea by the moons gravity;
first I’m pulled in,
and then I push back out

They say a good mule hits the same wall but once!
but what if this time the wall breaks?
Just like me, keeping up my habits coaxed by desire,
going for a different end.

Force of habit,
forced by my habits ?
forced like the leaves blowing in the wind;
first I’m flying,
and then miserably I end

Or is it just my nature?
and what if things turned out different, just this once!
and what if, though unknown to me the only thing to set me free is ….

(true love)

The Freaks

in ,

What freaks we are!
always craving what we cannot have
and when we can, we cannot
even enjoy it.
already craving something else!

Devoured by our desires,
burning from the inside out.
leaving empty shells,
unable to fill these voids.
screams echoing the hollow,
inside of us disconnected freaks.

Disconnected from ourselves
we plug our minds into a machine
(sharing our frivolousness with the rest of the world)
have we become a race of freaks?
or just a joke of ourselves,
that we no longer get ?

the warning

in ,

Broke the heart of everyone i ever loved.
now it's time for darkness to come visit me.
karmic law has to be this way.
as i sit here with tears in my eyes,
realizing i broke them all.
and for that alone i deserve to die.
but the knife on my wrist would be too easy now.
No, i'll take the long way,
and will go with the solitude;
i cast upon myself with every step along my way.
Be safe, and stay away!
and i hope you'll find happiness, still!

The Sparkles' Glow

in ,

The sweet fairy’s
sparkling and glowing
so much stronger,
this goddess is so pure

She’s the one,
the goddess herself,
manifested to rescue me,
such purity, she even cleansed me

not from this world,
she brought me back to life,
the glow, constant flow,
bending time and space

No wondering about,
no wandering about,
know now to give freely,
came undone,
become one!

And all that surrounds
has disappeared!

sparkles

in ,

red sparkles falling
floating in space and time
bending all there is

give all there is to give
freely
floating in this red glow
constant flow
of peace and fire

no wondering about
no wandering about
freely floating
bending time and space

it takes no effort
there are no rules
to this freedom we found
there is nothing to see
only to feel all that is, has been, will be
come undone
become one

and all that surrounds
begins to disappear

CAN BE

in ,

beyond the edges
no more centers appear
and yet,
no vast emptiness, to be felt
as we pass the gates
of our subconscious going with the flow
enter completely
and there is no more going out
free flow! free fall?

floating above the clouds, that are no more
no more than you and I
yet all there is to be
be free, as slaves we remain

as life turns, choices I make
seem to matter, and yet always come back
come back to the path of the flow
asking me to let go

a dance that encompasses
all that is, all that was, all that will be
as our third eye opens
to see all that we can be

freedom can be found in the oddest of places,
and all along my devils’ are chasing me
down to the darkest of places,
up to the brightest of heavens
as I disappear in a crowd

no need for mutiny or revolution,
we need revelations of our subconscious
to stimulate evolution.

S.O.S - See Our Soul?

in ,
can you still see your soul,
when you look in the mirror?
or are you lost in all this make up,
the illusion of yourself
you care for the world to see.

well I see the junkie you are afraid to be
when I look in the mirror,
I see the monster you are afraid to admit
when I stare into the mirror

 
sold my soul to the man in the mirror,
so now, here I stand, see myself for what I am,
the man in the mirror looking out at you.

IN BETWEEN

in ,

the little angel on one shoulder,
the little devil on the other,
forever arguing their case.
when there is no right or wrong,
only consequences

so what is there left to say
for me, sitting in the middle
can only pray
for a little quiet time,
just to calm down.

HUMAN

in ,

Interpreting humans,
could be a never ending science,
cause there is no knowing
why someone does what he does

you’d have to step inside,
to know for sure.

and still no guarantee
you would understand
the reasons or motivations to the wildest of dreams.
