In that moment we were perfect.
Infinite.
Soulful.
In that moment we will last forever
As everything else is
Faded.
In that moment,
Gazing at the Ocean blue.

REPLAY
His words replay.
There’s no delay.
Over and over,
Over and over again.His sweet face.
His beautiful soul.
Miles away,
Yet so close.
A place in my heart,
Always.Scars of love we leave,
On each others hearts.
Just breathe.
Memories will never fade,
His words, they always replay. -
Hell: Searching for the Truth
Have mercy on my soul,
For the devil shall rise and swallow me whole.
Could hell be worse than this hell on earth?Or would it be my saviour?
Peace in the fire,
Calm in the flames.
Take me away from life’s cruel games.Life, death.
Where does it begin and end?
Nowadays it is more like life is the enemy,
And death is the friend.
They say that life is a beautiful lie,
And death the painful truth.
Only the ashes left of our time imprinted on this earth,
Souls still searching for the truth. -
Lost. Found. I’m Spirit Bound
It is all going down but I want none of it.
To many times have I been pushed to the front of it.It gets crazy inside my brain, and
I cannot begin to explain,
How it makes me feel insane.Trying to stay grounded,
while being constantly hounded,
by this world.So close to the edge of reality,
Imaginary.
All I want is peace and serenity,
to heal my heart and mind.Lost.
Found.
I’m spirit bound.
Searching for that light,
to keep me safe and sound. -
From her Heart, with Love
She knows in her heart what is true.
Her being gains strength as she pushes through.The world teaches her lessons.
And she grows like a wild flower in wisdom and love,
trusting the universe up above.She sits quietly in the wind.
Sometimes wishing to fly away.
Yet she knows she has to stay,
and work on letting her soul go free.She let’s her mind soar,
with creativity and hunger.
For this world needs a saviour in all of us,
to treasure its beauty with unconditional love.She gently brushes her hair off her face,
And looks towards the horizon.
Gazing at the sunset and hoping for peace.
From deep inside her heart, with love. -
“Being alone a lot of the time makes you wonder and question life. The real questions that swirl deep down in your soul. Evaluating specific moments and exploring the finer points of friendship, love and the abundant life we all wish to have. You hardly ever get to some great conclusion, but little by little you make the progress to get there. Because we will forever be wondering and questioning, exploring and trying to fulfil the holes of desire and need that are nested tight in our beings; in order to grow, love and not only to survive, but to truly live.”

Soldier On
Carry your soul through the winds.
Fight for what you believe in.Stand strong and conquer your fears,
You have come so far along the years.
Don’t let anything stand in your way.
You have the golden armour to love another day.Use your talents as weapons for your cause.
Remember you are beautiful, don’t worry about flaws.
Society judges,
Its time to go to war.
To fight the battle of controlling minds,
Be free and leave all that behind.Let everything go and get everything out.
Release yourself and rise again.If you fall, get back up,
And soldier on.
The battle may not be over,
But you are sure to win,
By the will of the moon and the sun. -
Forever Waiting.
Forever waiting,
my heart skips a beat.
Forever waiting,
for happiness and I to meet.All alone in the desert,
under the twinkling night sky.
I dream a dream and,
I wonder why?Why is this world so chaotic and cruel?
Why do we place such high fame on such fools?
We play silly games with our lives and nature.
Inventing, masking, disguising what real happiness is to paint a pretty picture.In a world gone crazy,
I am forever waiting.
Is it getting hazy?
Or am I still dreaming?All I know is that,
I’ll be forever waiting. -
Finding Peace.
My mind is constant.
Constant thinking.
How do I shut it off for a while?
Please.The world keeps turning,
while I keep burning,
trying to find all moments of peace.Is there a heaven on earth?
Is it you? Is it love?
The world it gets so dark.
We all wait for some kind of spark.
Be the light of your life.
Don’t stand back and watch life go by.
All you have to do is try.Sometimes its a constant war on my mind.
Peace is all I try to find.
But strength do I always hold,
while I watch my life events infold.Do the same and be at peace.
Take life as it comes,
and don’t waver in your stand,
for the wonders of this beautiful land. -
To Love Again.
I thought I knew what love was,
but I was wrong.
Until I met you.
And you showed me what real love is.I was blinded by a corrupt love.
When its your first fall you will believe everything that person tells you, because you’re so in love you look past all the bad and all the wrong.
But when its over, you see with full clarity,
how trapped you were in a viscious cycle of being played around.
That broke my heart into a million pieces.
And I promised myself I wouldn’t love again until I knew all truth.Then you opened up like a flower in full bloom, taking my hand and treating me like your queen.
You showed me the right way to be loved.
To love myself and be comfortable again.
To trust and believe with no fear of corruption.
And lastly to hold onto love again without pain. -
Alone Again.
I had a good run,
but now I’m alone again.I had a good run,
but now I am alone again.People have come and gone.
There is the loyal ones who have stayed,
they are always not too far away.
And always in my heart to stay.I had a good run,
but now I am alone again.All my life I go up and down.
Change.
Alone, alive, lost and found.
Social and spiritual connection,
for a time.
Then independence calls my name.I had a good run,
but now I am alone again. -
Childhood: In a Blink of an Eye.
One moment you’re five years old, you open your eyes and the next thing you know you’re ten years old. Still Blissfully unaware and innocent to the world around you.
You close your eyes and open them again and you’re suddenly sixteen. Amidst the rush of growing up, teenage struggle and teenage fun. You think you know what the world is like and how it works. You build friendships and eagerly plan for the future.
Once again you open your eyes and you are freshly eighteen, old enough to legally drink and party. Adulthood has opened its doors. You are slightly aware of the reality of the crazy world around you. Freshly out of school and planning your next move towards a big career, exploration and adventure.
Once again you close your eyes and open them. You are a few days away from turning twenty-one and becoming a fully fledged, responsible adult. You are fully aware of how cruel the world can be, but at the same time you are aware of the opportunities you can take to better yourself and enjoy life. But crazy always gets in the way. You look back and wonder where childhood went? and why did it slip away so fast? Why were you so eager to grow up? You are awakened to the fact that you were wrong at sixteen, when you thought all twenty plus year olds had their shit together.
You realize real life has just begun. The hardships, the good times and the unbelievably great times, the experiences and the life lessons, the friends that have come and gone and the loyal ones who have stayed, falling in love and heartbreak and falling in love all over again. You cherish the peaceful moments and wish the world wasn’t so crazy as you watch it get madder and madder as the years go by.
You realize your blissful innocence and ignorance you once held many years ago and you long for it, sometimes quiet painfully too. Especially when things get chaotic and seem to be falling apart. You wish to go back to that younger self of yours and tell them to shut up about growing up so fast and to just enjoy your youthful moments. Because once you reach twenty-one and realize this, there is no turning back. Only forward, navigating the sea of adulthood, while trying to stay sane.
Knowing all this, take a page out of your childhood lessons and realize if we live in the now, enjoy the moment, go with the flow, roll with the punches and come out on top, we can embrace the child-like thinking of mystery and wonder, adventure and play. Don’t let the cruelty of the world taint your life with struggle when you can embrace spontaneity, strength and the power to push through everything and anything. Our childhood has seemed to flash by us in a blink of an eye but we can still maintain that child-like nature of peace, comfort, wonder and courageous bravery to keep us going strong.
If you are reading this and you are still in the throws of childhood, don’t let it waste and slip by. Embrace every moment, be a kid as long as you can and don’t worry or bother about wanting to grow up so fast. You only get one childhood, live it up.
With adulthood, now have no fear! Conquer every day, work hard, play hard and always keep that inner child within the love of your heart and mind to embrace the world with love, mystery and adventure.

Finding your way through the murky waters of life
What do you do?
What do you do when the water gets murky and cloudy?
When it gets hazy and you feel like you’re in a daze?
Are we Stuck? Are we Searching? Pushing through searching for an end?A meaningful end? A way out? A new horizon?
All these questions run through my head and there is a million different excuses to come up with, to shove the answers away. To hide from what we fear, the truth, harsh bittersweet reality.
We hold out for clarity to fall into our hands but truth is we have to get gritty and dirty. Hands down work for it. Hope will bring us comfort and peace will give us strength. And with such guidance we find our way, slowly but surely.
