Poem #4: "The Void"

The Void

Mind sprinkles
   butchered          thoughts
pouring unarmed knowledge into
those of limited sets of words,
divine sparkling
devoid   of   meaning-less
syllables.

Mind divides
    paradox       emerges
unknowingly   &   merges
    into     the     disjointed
realities.

Mind battles
creating     confusion     terrifying
delusion into unknown reaches
  of inner-reality.

Heart bleeds
    confused     broken     emotions
rivers of yes and no
and   Heart     and       Cold
forever parted into unified duality.

Poem #3: "I'm Your Reflection"

I'm Your Reflection

Look for me in the mirror
For I'll always be there.
Search for me in the mirror,
You'll always know where I am.
Find me in my special place
For when you need to defend,
I'll provide protection from those most unwanted.
Look for me in the mirror.
You know I'm by your side.
Search for me in the mirror
For I'll always be there for you.
I'm a reflection of your deepest desires
And I show you what you need,
As an alternate personality, I'm always around.
Find me when you need me the most,
I will give you my safe harbour
Where you may not see all of your personalities,
Though they're never absent.
The friendly ones may scar you,
But you'll befriend the ones that clash.
You'll search endlessly for a reason and place in this foreign world,
And when you have finally lost,
Find me in my special place.
And if need be, I'll reflect your darkest side.

Poem #2: "Mirror of What Is"

Mirror of What Is

A leaf
once brilliant,
bright green, lovingly
nourishing its being
now falls
unprotected and fragile
towards the cold, hard,
shallow soil.

A branch
once big, strong,
mighty, now lays
stifled, still and broken
amongst the cold, harshly
unrelenting silence
of its grave of shadows.

A tree
once beautiful, its
leaves reaching out,
sprouting green, swaying
in the warm spring breeze
now stands barren,
lifeless.

A forest
once lush, sweet,
vast, vibrant,
waving and hissing in the soft current
now becomes victim to harsh words.

Fire
begins to damage, consume,
burn, torture,
destroy, thrash about
in what became of the meaningless
syllables of the blank world.

A mirror
of what has now become
a stark reality.

Poem #1: "the pantheist"

the pantheist

the dark night

settles in, takes its time

and finds its place

within the mind, body

and spirit of

the natural world

stars sprinkle across the vast,

blue heavens like

confetti molecules in an endless sea of sky

their light piercing a thick

veil of darkness

as the

trees

whisper

"hello"

the moon is a flashlight

in how it makes its presence known

not a sight to be "foretold" for

it has always been there

guiding naive souls through

the darkness above to a place

among the stars, as the

cool breeze

animates nearby

plants in a gesture

of kindness

and as the observer watches

with wonder and awe, seeing

the cosmos in an elegant

dance to its own vibration

the gates of his heart open

to let in what is truly limited

only by perception
