I’ll see you on the flip side.
My dear friend.
Where you can tell me all the adventures,
Of your ride into the sun.
Parting ways.
As I sway through the galaxies,
Against the gleaming moon.
I’ll see you on the flip side,
My dear friend.
Where amongst the shadows and dreams,
We will meet again.

They come,
They go.
Like the seasons change to and fro.
Learn to hold on dearly,
To those who have stayed.
And when to let go.
Of who no longer serves you,
And of what has walked away.
Take each lesson,
Savour the time.
Infinite memories,
Stashed away in your wild heart.
Open your soul,
To a fresh start.
Guide yourself,
On your path to glory.
And only take in,
What feeds your soul.
And ignites your fire,
For passion, creativity and love.
Burn brightly,
And with no shame.
Celebrate with the people,
who will walk through hell and back with you,
And brighten your day.
Watch me make the world think I’m ok.
Like I have danced all the pain away.
Disguise,
The storm inside.
That rages on.
Barreling waves crashing,
Over and over again.
Drowning.
My heart heavy,
And soul quiet.
Crushed.
But nobody would know,
Nobody would buy it.
From the smile I put on,
A front to keep moving through,
My haunting thoughts.
To find what is still true.
Watch me, I’ve mastered the art.
Of looking like I’m not falling apart.
But inside,
I really have a shattered heart.
The devil wins today.
In his fire my heart strings play.
Songs of sorrow,
Songs of loss.
He’s seen the demons I have crossed.
The mortal sins of paths I have taken.
The scars of pain,
And the mistakes I have welcomed to change.
On a road unknown,
Through the darkest night.
My heavy soul echoes through the wind.
Calling for days lost,
From dawn till dusk.
And into the deepest corners,
Of desire and trust.
In the devils land I play.
A place of no where and nothing.
The edge of reality,
Over into insanity.
On this journey, I may,
Find pain and solace.
And the will to live another day.
Life so cruel,
Tragic.
Taken away to soon.
Is it worth your right?
When its out of control.
Based on a paper,
Racist,
A hundred years ago.
Death of the innocent,
Caught in the fire.
The world mourns,
But nothing is done.
Despite the cries for righteousness and justice,
The guns increase.
And the damage is done.
Monsters in the eyes of others.
No care for human life,
We don’t believe the lies.
The evidence is enough.
How many more will die?
Their blood on your hands.
Fuelling violence with a weapon of destruction,
Giving it to the hands of those that desire to wreak havoc with hate in their heart.
Stop the excuses,
And put the guns to rest.
Choose what is best,
Or there will be nothing and no one left.
– inspired by and dedicated to all the victims of American gun violence due to their lack of enforced and controlled laws to protect human life. May they all rest in peace, so tragic that such talented and beautiful souls are taken away for no reason but hate and despair. America is appalling. And my question is, will it ever change? Because I’ve asked this question way too many times in the last few years and all it looks like is that it is increasing and getting out of hand.
My question to America is, Guns or Human life? Which one is more important to you? Because this very moment America is choosing guns over human life and if they don’t change there will be no human life left to save.
A great documentary on this topic to watch is: Bowling For Columbine by documentary and film director, Michael Moore. Which explores gun laws, the Columbine school shooting events and why America is so different to the rest of the world with guns when they think they are just like the rest of the world.
Little duckling,
Take flight.
Don’t be scared to venture the night.
Fill your day with love and peace.
Take heart in wandering,
Exploring your soul,
And your laughter will increase.
Life has many surprises,
But the light brings grace,
And adventure.
Fly and soar through the wind and rain.
I’ll be there to catch you if you fall.
And together we will rise above it all.
– Dedicated to my best friend, my little duckling, Zachary Duck 💖
Can you save my soul?
Or am I lost forever?
Is it better to wander through it all?
Explore the good, bad and the downright ugly,
Or to hide away?
Come out on top,
With a trail of scars.
The deepest ones piercing my heart.
Fallen on the floor, broken.
Standing tall, stronger.
Life plays its games.
Dodge the bullets,
Embrace the gains.
With learning comes pain,
Truth and love.
Scars on my heart,
Already insane.
Breaking free from all these chains.
I’m crashing.
Rising and falling.
All over the place.
Can’t get it out of my head.
It is all finally set in.
Hit me like a freight train,
On the way to nowhere but the edge.
Moving through the minefields.
Burning.
Love a bittersweet reality,
Of constant change.
Night time,
Heart burning.
Soul churning,
Spinning and transforming.
Darkness,
Pure black.
Comfort in silence.
As inside me rages,
A war of searching.
For a means and an end.
Solace from pain.
Before insanity takes a hold.
Welcome crazy,
A change from the old.
Fear into action.
The night holds all truth.
From love to hate,
And the very essence of you.
Though you’ve walked on,
My door is always open.
My heart,
Always warm,
Always welcome.
Between us distance has no meaning.
Time,
Is healing.
Wishing you well.
And hoping for good luck.
Walk with no fear,
My dear and trust.
For deep down inside,
You have a heart of gold.
March to the beat of your drum,
You must.
Never far, always near.
Always Welcome,
Here,
My Love.
You’ll never loose that uniqueness about you.
The root of your soul.
Your passion.
Your fire.
The erge to inspire,
Create,
Love.
Even when you are drowning in lost seas,
You are infinite.
Find yourself.
Hold on to heart,
Let go of what no longer serves you.
And flow with the waves,
Of desire,
And serenity.
