Into the arms of fire
Running into the arms of fire
Without a way to stop
I watch my flesh melting
I can smell my hair burn
But instead of running away
I go deeper into the burning wood.
It’s a paralyzing fear
It’s the petrifying peace
while all this fire
controls everything inside me.
I fight the thoughts and feelings
as I burn inside this fire
is it all true? Is it all a lie?
will I lose everything at once?
While my mind and my body
get consumed
can’t stop but wonder
If I’ll live this dream
or reality will doom.
Black Knight
Why are you showing up for battle?
Why now?
Why not earlier? Why not later?
You gallop into this war
attempting to be a hero
of an already lost battle.
Oh brave black knight!
Long rainy nights are ahead
If you could only understand
If you could only see.
Take a peek inside the castle
You will see,
there are no survivors,
you will not make it alive!
Oh brave black knight!
I wish you had a fighting chance!
To see you at the top of the mountain
proclaiming the victory.
Will you make it brave black knight?
Will you surrender before starting the fight?
Will you go home and not even start the journey?
Or will you die in the field fighting the good fight?
Silent drops
a drop of pain inside the heart
is tended by the hand that feeds
words so sour, sharp and tart
cause the heart to endlessly bleed
told it can never be more than nothing
told that its progress is lost in meaninglessness
told that its existence was all for wasting
told that its being was never meant for this
a drop of pain inside the heart
planted by careless and selfish ones
a lifetime spent trying to put it apart
from a small hope that from the Creator comes
believes that everything it trusted was delusion
believes that care was just caprice
believes that discarding is the conclusion
of this life’s final puzzle piece
a drop of pain inside my heart
will never leave even with all my strength
trying to find my brand new start
seems like phantoms only gained
crying at the hopelessness
crying at the emptiness
crying for anything but this
crying unheard in this silence
a drop of pain inside the heart
is protected by the love that lives
reaching for my brand new start
within the hope that the Creator gives

Silence
You are the mirror where I see all my blemishes
You are the obscurity that brings out the real me
You are the most sacred and the scariest
You are the place where I can connect with all divine
You are the place where I can’t hide
You are one of the most desired pleasures
You are where I can find the peace to my soul

Love
Love
the ethereal, vibrant wind that sweeps us into the bright color land
a place with neither time nor gravity
only us as one
Pain
the thick, sickening sludge that sucks us into a dark pool of unceasing torment
a place of weighted moments and days
We endure them alone.
You are my dove and I have seen your heart dragged
By the swinging pendulum of events
through love, through pain, through love and through pain.
You are in pain and I see you there, beyond the reach of my words, my affection
My whispers muted by the roar of your inner collapse.
I see your tears, so clear, like crystal jewels
Behind them is the abyss that knows no beauty.
You are imprisoned, burned and beaten, consumed
All I can do is look at you, you are so beautiful.
The mire does not taint you; the torment does not maim you
The affliction does not hide you; the wounds do not harm you.
This is what I see.
I won’t lose sight of you, dove.
I can’t forget the golden bliss, the tender delight
the soft, warm peace that promises to free you
and keep us in love’s comfort.

Gray
Today I’m grateful
that I am not where I was yesterday,
and that I’m just a step away
from where I will be tomorrow.
Today may look gray,
but remember that gray
It’s just a mixture of black and white,
just like we all are,
the dark in us,
the light in us.
So if the day has been gloomy and gray,
look for the ray of sunshine between the clouds,
It’s the sun peaking out trying to reach out to you.
May the sun shine through the clouds in your life today!
