Becoming

A new season hums beneath my skin,

Everyone aches for the fire within.

Even I crave the heat whilst held in,

So much that I question the way that I live.

This root, this bloom, this sacred tide,

Reveals a truth I cannot hide.

I’ve whispered dreams into the air,

And now, here, and always there.

Takes walks beside me

In quiet moments, crystal clear.

 Finds me in my dusk and dawn,

In every breath, he lingers on.

Where love and oceans gently collide.

there when I lay down to rest,

heartbeat echoing in my chest.

Cradles weight my hands once bore,

Nourishes me to my very core.

He meets my hunger, holds my flame,

No need to chase, no need to name.

I’ve known him in a thousand ways,

In future songs and ancient days.

He stands, aligned a sovereign soul,

As I embody my next role.

The Price of Aspiration: A Poetic Reflection


If I’m everything you’re not
then yes, it’s a dangerous game.
You mimic my walk,
study my talk,
but lack the hunger that carved my name.

You praise the ground I glide upon,
until you can’t bear the weight of your own gaze.
Aspire to me, yet tire too soon
I chase the moon while you count the days.

Each glance, a mirror you avoid.
Each word, a truth you deny.
So you call me arrogant,
label me villain,
to make peace with the part of you that won’t try.

Naturally, your empathy fades.
Naturally, your envy grows.
Naturally, a friend turns foe
because my rise reminds you
just how low
you’ve kept your bar.

Please stay

When “Let Me Go”

Is “I want you to stay”

“For the love of God, set yourself free.”

Pushing away, yet needing so much,

Sacrificing all for idealism you clutch.

Stupidity you thought you never caught 

Now weighs you down, like tangled knots

Do yourself a favor: live,

Breathe deep, 

take what life can give.

Eat, pray, love and repeat

for God’s sake, please,

Unshackle yee soul and findeth thy peace.

Temperature rise

I see it coming, no more cries,

By now I don’t flinch, no wide eyes.

Goodbye, goodbye,

Hello, hello,

Goodbye, goodbye,

Again, it’s so.

Two, is the Nr. years

 lost in the shadow’s mark,

Wondering how to fix things back

Two, is the Nr. Degrees hotter, 

I proceeded to spark.

So now, I don’t flinch or lose control,

When it takes its toll,

When it’s time to go,

I’ll be home,

In my heart.

In my zone, where I restart.

No Nintendo Game

One day all this will fade and pass,

This is now, your moment to amass.

This is you, you are here, alive,

Cleopatra reigned, in her prime, she thrived.

Now it’s you, your time, your light,

Living here, before the night.

Thérèse once stood here free to fight

Now it’s you and your dreams

Everything is happening through you for you with you, as you are witnessing Gods gifts
