friendship love, heaven,
At first, remember how we were
skeptical strangers?
Then, by mystical magic, we
melted into close friends!
I hope we meet in the golden streets
of heaven!
Where our friendship never ends!

innocence, introspection, love, pain,
in bondage to social etiquette, our heart paused
spontaneity was stifled, innocence was lost
we wandered earth like a soulless ghost
love betrayal came at a heavy cost
glorifying body cage we live in
truth of our Self remaining unknown
accustomed to trauma bonding with pain
we denied God’s light even after we were shown

Two Sedoka's on addiction.
I think we all know someone who suffers from addiction, be it alcohol, drugs, pills or gambling.. Sadly too many judge from the action and do not see the reason behind many fall into it.
fighting addiction
chains of control solder hold
held captive to corrupt brain
unhealed trauma screams
judgement offers no respite
soul hopes to escape prison
warfare addiction
mind battles intense craving
brain hellbent to find next fix
without compassion
do not judge - support through love
save a soul that's still alive

Presence is a life lesson to keep; parental pasts made one weep
Assisting others was a joyful leap but full of frustration’s trauma
Natural temples answered prayers unheard in organized religion
'All life deserves kindness!' but greed clawed a ‘me-first’ agenda
Conditioned to succeed, a schooled brain became a ‘love-lunatic’
Emotional pains wrestled mental ones through the long embrace
And when unbound, found, love’s road led the less travelled saga ~

desire, love, spiritual,
Come
close dear,
trauma bond
with dark desire,
that no dull moments
may slow down pace of life,
though the side effect is pain,
which will cause endless suffering,
till we reach the point of exhaustion,
wasting this gift of life bestowed by God.
Thus spake the devil, disguised as ego,
which the confused soul took as itself,
lost in life’s maze, dead man walking,
trapped by demons mind conjured,
though strangely always free,
when thoughts are rested
and when love sparks
warmth of bliss
when souls
kiss.

care,
Oh she soars above the twilight
spreads her wings towards the lantern,
instinct hones towards Blighty’s bight
mind confused thinking of Skipton.
Gone the lure of tropical nights
diamond scattered heaven above,
only the cliffs of dolomites
to where here is her true love.
Waiting in anticipation
trauma the drama yet the fight,
together participation
oh once alighted from this flight.
Silver wings bare your robust soul
bring her back safely just for me,
here to play out fate’s active role
at the gate of our minds I'll be!

How do we harvest light?
We dig through the darkness.
When light is a turnip
Growing in the rocky Newfoundland soil
Digging through the darkness
Hands bloody and torn
Digging into my past
Through trauma
Stories and roots
Block the path
Rocks and fears
Make the work
Challenging, draining
Often I need to rest
Light is the quest
The digging worthwhile
Golden ears listen
A great gift given
Lessons come
Light lessons
Unlike dirt
Undone by
A good scrub
Light permeates
Till you and it are the same
No washing required
Wishing you love and light

baby, devotion, for her, future, girlfriend, love, wedding,
Oh my baby,
Forget the past.
Time will heal,
The trauma cast.
If you need help,
Then i am here.
It's our future,
That will last.
Oh my baby,
Don't fall back.
If you do,
I'll drop my pack.
I'll turn around,
And pick you up.
And carry you on,
To the zodiac.
Oh my baby,
Don't you see.
That i will risk,
Everything to be.
With you,
For all my life.
So baby, baby,
Marry me.

Where ya been, baby?
Busy with business
Drama and trauma
and where have you been?
Creepin' through flesh

and flesh
both of us wonder....
I got questions,
you got excuses.
I'm tired of being
The benefactress of this.

There's only one thing worse than a lawyer,
that's a failed lawyer, permanent chip, disaster,
then there's dubious sexual orientation, okay,
maybe Celtic, not capable of holding any sway.
You stayed, decided to stick things out today,
when it would have been better if you'd gone away;
we made love in the missionary position, ole',
should have expanded our horizons so they say.
I like worrying about trivia, I'm not tall,
it's bad if you have nothing to worry about at all;
I'm away on holiday in exotic locations,
avoid an entourage with dubious relations.
Then there's you, so smart, full of diversity,
the one thing worse in all this trauma is me.

12th grade, anxiety, emotions, hope, nostalgia, poems,
Eventually, many centuries have passed
In the hopeless desire to uncover
This hidden pain.
And, in the shower of unpredictable love
The barren land of my restless soul
Will nourish again.
Maybe today or tomorrow, the blank pages
Of the unwritten book will shine
With pearl-like words.
Along with, the doors of unlocked cages,
Locked with a secret code will reopen
For imprisoned birds.
The day is about to come, which is expected in the unexpected world
Perhaps like a fraud.
So, call up all your subdued kith and kins,
To kill that blood soaking trauma
With your sword.

Sleep not in any side of him
death and not him we should fear
in pews aisle I walk no more
but in the aisle of aged tombs
with my candle and my weaving wreath
upon your gentle soul I still love
how inert he was when death came
sleep not in any of his sides .

Why trauma bond with sunken souls
Wish them love and move on
Fiendish are ways of lowly ghouls
Why be object of scorn
We must love ourselves first
In freedom, unrehearsed
Joyous, in a bliss burst
Frog in a pond
Why trauma bond

Play of conflict snare trauma
Beat's drum-head hold drama
Soulful histrionic perfection
Behind rear view devotion
Of hostel trap left hours and
Stricken rabble memoirs band
Vowing to love each other true
Punching in at chaotic shape hue
Disrobe a hate fueled romance
In a strange loop ignorance
Discovering our nothing invention
Meeting in chimneys label ashen
Starring below I send telegram
To agency Ground Control
Wonder why so many had to cry
I guess they never got to say goodbye

encouraging, faith, farewell, goodbye, growth, happiness, strength,
Snatch my heart back
took my dignity back
grab for happiness
fought for peace
seized the drama
found calmer waters
point of no return
Expired living in misery
departed from abuse
no more feeling worthless
buried memories
erased thoughts
deceased feeling bound
vanished bondage
point of no return
Joyous life
smiling again
faded dark days
sunny days
self-confidence lofty
self-love
healed heartache
released trauma
forgotten deceit
Forgiven you
point of no return

Woman you that have been hurt
You that have been broken
You that have been taken away from love
The love that made you fly
Words have been uttered towards you
That felt like stones
Stones that had been thrown at you
And you have fallen into a grave
A grave that had been digged by emotional trauma and pain
You tried to get up but society kept you down
Woman It is time for you to fly!!!
You can live a life knowing you are beautifull intelligent and God made yoy
Be the woman you always wanted to be
Fly Butterly Fly
Get out of your dark place and find your sunshine
Lift your head up and smile
FLY BUTTERFLY FLY!

You occupy all four
Your love is the donor
You‘re my heartbeat therefore
Your love trauma
My induced coma
A heart transplant, no time sooner
My healthier flora
My rhythm, my drummer
Your beat in me forevermore

I still think the world of you,
Just so you know.
Spaces between my fingers,
Where yours used to go.
Your arms that held my waist,
Are replaced with aching pains.
I put myself in my cocoon,
So time will heal my open wounds.
But the scars still remain,
A trauma that won't go away.
Since we've been apart,
I've been writing only the words of a broken heart.

"Grief can be a doorway to love."
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass
Grief can open toward gratitude
As loss can open doors to access gain
As trauma can open hearts
to therapeutic brains
As neglect can foster curious compassion
As depression
can incite active
co-empathic impressions
As double negative sociopathologies
can notice doorways
to positive psychologies
As double-binding
dualdark entropy
can open complex space
for positive double-binary energy strings
through co-empathic
multiculturing resilient time
As isolating sadness
can open doors
to love's transcendent gladness.

- no pain you felt
I cried I cried
- no tears you melt.
I smiled I smiled
- no charm you shade
I whispered I whispered
- no thought you made.
I bleed I smiled
- no ***** you ensured
I cried I whispered
- no words you composed.
I waited I waited
-no trauma you pored
I misled I misled
- no storm you foretold.
I bided I bided
- no shadow you cajoled
I hoped I hoped
- no fortune you assured.
I waited I bided
- no hands you waved
I missed I hoped
- no faith you devoted.
I bleed I bleed
- no pain you felt
I cried I cried

family,
she never ever disappeared
e'en in those lonely years
when childhood trauma spewed up fears
inheritedly ghastly.
she wrote notes gifted, answered phone
no matter what was goin' on
the night my mind was nearly blown
she lent licorice care.
Iridescent to the max
bffl and that's a fact
(remember sharing stolen snacks?)
my sister, Rach, I love you.

My childhood friend,
I can never forget.
A law of attraction,
Harmonious notions.
A mesmerising magnetic charm,
Aspiration in hearts.
Perpetual yearnings,
Enamoured in passion.
Holy grail of romantic relationship.
Met an accident,departed,
Trauma for me,beyond a cure.
I was shocked, life an end,
Life a beautiful lie,Death an arduous truth.
Conforming to the reality,
That love doesn't hurt, it alleviates suffering.
It's up to us to call on this immense,
Conciliating power!!

Trauma is
a "heavy" word.
Trauma is
a world beyond hurt.
Trauma is
sitting idly by.
Trauma is
darkening of skies.
Trauma is
blowing season's lies.
For the love of God
she had to try.
To shake off spasms
of times gone bye.
Pricking thru skins
of young beginnings.
Abuse piled
oh, so, ever loving high.
Why did she ever
reason to ask why.
Baby, she told herself
just let it go bye.
Just let it have
this time to fly.

angel, friendship love, meaningful,
A caring attitude manipulateby arrogance,
Stirs up trouble but later causes affection,
It's hard to believe but it's friendship in disguise,
Many are left in confusion and also amusement.
Loss of words and loud silence is expressed ,
But without a smile my friend is not impressed,
Self contentment is not his deal,
Just keeping the promise for real.
A friend of my life's worth,
If he's angered, it's destructive wrath,
So am willing to give birth
to the unveiled trauma burning within me,
Express the impulsive curiosity itching me,
My friend, how can I help you?

spiritual,
as inevitable, it came to pass
and so the question was asked
on whether we should abandon
feral soul we'd ourselves tasked
to spew toxicity that we may learn
to remain tranquil even as we burn
clever ego offering specious logic
hinting we need not trauma bond
why then keep a rear view mirror
but heart joyously does respond
effusing love, inane game end
egoic will to God's laws bend
