I exist for more

I exist for more...

Eyes dim over time
Frosted over from disillusion and disappointments.

Ears lessen over time
Dampened by distrust and disbelief.

Limbs lock over time
Gnarled by labor and tension

Hope swells over time
Encouraged by rebuilding and receiving

Love heals over time
Increased by relation and release.

Faith builds over time
Strengthened by retention and remembrances.

Abnormal energy swirls. It floods this physical plane with a tangible, uneasy vibe that rests heavily upon the spirits of this realm.

Thoughts and feelings are commandeered. They are hijacked by entites whose influence seeps unwanted in spheres previously inaccessible.

Ethereal light shines brightly yet is hindered by a fog of contamination and chaos cloaking this orb.

Truly, we find ourselves wandering aimlessly, groping blindly in the ever growing dark; searching for humanity and locating only humans.

Armed only with our courage to exist, we shuffle along this life.  Harming and healing, loving and judging, including and isolating, we try to find a way through this world to a place of belonging.

Disillusioned by the fantasy of control over others, we neglect self-discipline. We solidify a recurring process to search outside of ourselves for a validation only obtained by searching within.

Dare to share

Emotions are something that we are taught to hide, to be ashamed of, to fear. Emotions are highly useful tools designed to help us communicate and connect. Human connection is one of our most powerful and under utilized resources. Without emotion, those connections become thin and easily frayed. Sometimes fellowship is all that we need to make it through the storm. Dare to share how you feel. 

Random rants and chants

Life is love
Love is truth
Truth is cruel
Cruelty is pain
Pain is alive
------------------------------------------------
If life is the flame of a candle
Then laughter is the flicker
Desire is the heat
Love is the dance
-------------------------------------------------
Silken kisses on silver wings
Powder blue sins in canary dreams
Caramel love on chocolate skin
Vanilla sobs on strawberry winds
Sage disappointment and olive lies
Bourbon secrets and maroon cries
Indigo fears and turquoise tears
All are housed within our years
-----------------------------------------------
Can you feel in the void of thought?
Can you hear the silence of reflections?
Can you touch the absence of light?
Can you smell the bittersweet of experience?
Can you breathe in the toxic of truth?
Can you see the reincarnation of energy?
Can you taste the expiration of time?

Proper culprits

Stop blaming love.

When we are heartbroken, we aren't hurting because of love. We are hurting due to being rejected, abused, unappreciated, betrayed, etc. Give credit to the proper culprits...Love has shouldered the blame for far too long.
