Believing

There's no need to be scared
Everything will be all right
Just believe that
And it will be so
That's the trick....in believing.

I know you don't believe me.
That it couldn't possibly be that easy.
Well, it's not easy.
But it works.
Think of how the world could be

Think

If one person at a time
Just believed that the world could be better
Believed that people could heal
and let go of hatred, old wounds
Think of how the world would be

Think

If within yourself you said
I don't hate anyone
I forgive everyone everything
I'm not angry anymore
Think how you would feel

Free

You would feel free
You would become love
And your spirit of love would
TOUCH
others around you
and the world would change

LOVE

It doesn't matter in the end
who is right and who is wrong
who has the last word
If the word
the world
ends in hate

The world can change
Believe. Believe in love

LOVE

Giants

When we were small and young

and fragile

And giants ruled our world
We lived in awe

and fear

of these looming beings
These all knowing Gods
Our Father who art

Adults

Looming large against the sky
in heaven
as we, small, insignificant

innocent

turned our primitive minds and eyes
to gaze up at them
their figures emcased in a golden aura

Halos

from the sun beaming down on them

giving praise to
hallowed be they name
acknowledging the omnipotence of
these glorious dark creatures

of light

These dieties
GIANT giants
MAN gods

in all their glory glory glory

hallelujah

In their greatness
Their power
Thy kingdom come
They lorded over us the little creatures
Thy will be done
forever and ever and ever

amen

Their word like the commandments
On earth as it was
Straight from the heavens
their voices booming like God

GOD

from the highest mountain
Thunderous
Absolute

They were the giants
The monsters in the night
in our closet under the bed
The things we feared obeyed
cowering genuflection

Worshipped

Suffer the little children to come unto me

Until it was our turn
to loom big against the sun
to be the giants
but somehow

some way
forgive me my trespasses

at least for me
Should I forgive those who trespassed

against me?

the magic was gone.

Yes. It Does

It had only been a blink of the eye. a brief moment.
When the world collapsed into itself. At least, according to me.
And really, me is all who ever really matters.

Isn't it?

A quick flash of lightning, a drop of rain hitting the window pane.
And it was all over. The end of life as we know it.
More importantly, as I know it.

Me. Myself. I.

Light became dark and dark lost all meaning.
And the flesh, the flesh lost all form.
The fat had melted off the tired human frames
into a sea of warm blubber.
Bubbling, reveling in it's revolting residue staining what was left
of the solid earth.

Cannibalized by our own nature.

Nadir not nurture.

Anti matter is all that matters. Matter has no weight.
Weight has no mass. Mass has no meaning. Meaning has no value.
Value has no worth. Worth is worthless.

all sense makes no sense which is pure nonsense.

Insense the insensate
Incense the senses.

The being, the creation implodes itself with purpose
Defiling what it worships. Imploring, ignoring what it hates.
Destroying what it cannot create. Creating what cannot exist.
And so falls in upon itself.

Aborted Insecution
Self inflicted Execution.

If pride and folly go before the fall
And noone and nothing is left to see the nothing
Does it still have meaning?

Yes.

Yes it does.

When I Forget

Spirit

Aishitemasu

Do you think of me as I sleep?

For I feel you enter my dreams

Each and every night.

You come to me with the cool night wind.

Your advance is heard in the gentle rustling

Of the leaves in the tree right outside my window.

A window I gaze out of each and every day.

While my mind wanders to the place

Where you sit daydreaming.

For you are a weaver of magic.

A creator of worlds; of universes.

You make me want you. I love you so.

You come to me as a gentle kiss.

A soft caress from the night breeze

That stirs the passion in my breast.

The fire in my heart.

Time has not diminished

The burning flames of my desire.

Instead it grows stronger, more consuming

With each second that passes.

I love you.

Aishitemasu.

Aishitemasu.

Eien ni ai suru.

Ai shite iru kara.

Aishitemasu .

I love you. I just love you.

Between Heaven and Hell

I passed out against my will.
It was one or two hours. Maybe more.
A feverish trance filled with restless dreams.
Somewhere between Heaven and Hell.
Somewhere. Not earth. Somewhere else.

It was a strange place.
Voices everywhere. Light. Sound.
We both stood there.
There, but not there. Earth, but not Earth.
The physical world moving past us.
Normally in the background.
The two of us seemingly motionless.
Timeless but at an inhuman speed.

Time closed in.
I could feel the slow, steady hummmmm.
Vibrating, steady, insistent.
The world faded away.
Nothing but the sound of a howling wind filled my ears.
Except....
Except....
To hear what was true

The voice of dissent could not be heard.
Nor could the voice of reason.
Just The Voice. Your voice.
There was a mere hint of the sun.
The world had fallen completely away.
We were somewhere between Heaven and Hell.
Never and Forever. Creation and Never To Be.
Never even thought of.

We looked into each other's eyes.
The realization, the recognition, the awareness.
The world came flooding back just as quickly as it had gone.
And you were no longer there with me.
Just as I was no longer there with you.
The earth moved.
And time moved a little faster.

Hell's Eternity

Even before I knew you I loved you.
I loved you. I loved you until it hurt.
Mind numbing, excruciating pain.
I still love you.
And the pain is still there.
But I love you anyway.

I love you.
I love you while all the while I die a bit more.
Each moment takes a little bit more of me.
But I love you.
And still I feel myself withering.
But it would be worse if I didn't love you.
So.....

I'll love you.
I'll love you even when there is no more time.
Even as the universe ceases to expand.
Even when God says No More! and shuts off the lights.
Even as my soul cries out in eternal pain for the choice I make
I will love you.Through Hell's eternity. I will love you.

But You Know

Things change. It's true.

People change. Time alters life.

That can't be helped. I understand.

I want to say it doesn't bother me.

But it does. You have to know that.

Just because I haven't said anything,

Doesn't mean I've already stopped caring.

I just had to let you go.

Sort of. In a way. Not really.

I don't want to stand in your way.

Make you feel like a prisoner.

Like you can't get out from under me.

I love you too much for that.

I just love you. It's always been that way.

No matter what happens.

No matter who else you love. I know.

I know in my heart that you think of me.

Kind of. In passing. Maybe not.

I always knew my love was impossible.

But it has always been real for you.

I've always loved you. Unconditionally.

I loved you before I knew you existed.

I'll love you when you are a faint whisper in my ear.

The faltering beat of my heart.

I'll love you in spite of everything.

Even as I write and say I'm over it. I'm not.

Because you know. I'll always love you.

Ghosts

The beauty of your words sing to me. So gently they call me.Speak my name.

A name that only a knowing soul could know.So softly the words rustle in my ears, settling finally in a saved place,The sacred spot in my heart, reserved for you only.

Your words hold a wisdom so timeless. They have traveled through eternity to

light the pathway that leads from you to me. Star crossed through time, how many times have we lightly touched finger tips onlyto be seperated by the cruel fates?

Your spirit is so strong and pure. I feel it embracing me, enfolding me.I am immersed in your glow, your energy infusing mine, coursing ,flowing through my veins. And I, in turn, flowing through yours. A moment of unmatched being. Like creation itself.

You quelch the darkness with the brilliance of your soul. It beckons me with rays of love's light. Mysterious and weary, but ever vigilant. As my soul makes it's way, once again, back to yours. Two parts, independent, but never truly whole until joined. The bonds of eternity can never be broken.

Together, our darkness is light. Together we are infinity.

Corridors

There was noise all around me. People drunk and yelling. Slamming doors, blaring car horns. Anonymous laughter bouncing through the night air. Still I dreamt of you.

I walked with you down endless corridors. Immense. gothic,
overwhelming. I looked up and they seem to spin around me.
So many eyes watching from above.

I walked with you slowly. Our every move observed without intent. Your every word echoing through the vast open hallways.Rising from a steady low whisper to a resounding boom.

But to me you spoke softly, gently in a steady monotone thatbecame a chant. A beautiful, flowing psalm of which I had neverheard the likes of before. It spoke to my soul.

You spoke in a language that my ears did not understand. But
my mind and heart took in every word. Delicate and full of pure
grace. You spoke of the divinity of love.

I was not tired but sleep pulled me to you. We walked together those endless corridors in my dream. You spoke to me in a language not earthly. And I understood.

We turned and looked at each other. It seemed like an eternity. We
looked at each other. The eyes from above watched in silence without judgement. Everything shifted. We understood.
