Redux
Pushed over the edge.
Waves of emotions coursing.
Tears flow unlocking the deep hurts.
Loud yells projected to match the pain.
Feelings challenged. Resolutions sought. This torture ends now.
Distancing from the anger, the fear, and the abysmal. Letting it go.
Choosing peace, choosing harmony, choosing growth.
Deep relaxation and openness stage a presence.
Self-soothed in this self-connection.
Manifesting healing.
the storm slithers in
poised so cool preparing to strike
like a dangerous snake
approaching its prey
until it erupts with chaos
the billowing anger
forging a destructive path
beware and protect yourself
for danger is all around now
your luck may have run out
in searching for comfort
found was a warm blanket of love
wrapping around my heart
an offering of safety and security
halting all the fears
at the door of our home
our intense passion flowed both ways
gifting each other expressions of nourishment
and declarations of love with our minds and bodies
then…
the roaring waves became still
more like the ebb of ripples in a pond
lapping up against me
and like carved sand on a shoreline
the deep impressions left behind
slowly washed away
leaving only one set of footprints

indoctrination
The trailer is scary enough, but to really get a better understanding of indoctrination, you can watch the movie on Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, Apple TV or Sling TV.
Sometimes it all just gets to be too much…
Here we go again by Michelle Ayon Navajas
here we are again challenged to confront
the things that we long wish to forget
the obstacles we struggle to get over
the pains we never get to surrender.
here we are again in a world of never-ending
regrets to what was supposed to be a beginning
regrets to what could have been’s instead
if we weren’t dumb and stupid.
here we are again in a cycle of wondering
will we ever get to the end of our suffering
will we ever get to give up
just love forever and never stop?
The Railway Line by Ramblings of a Fragile Mind
I
shouldn’t
need to
tell you
again
You
must
already
know
I
don’t
want to
be here
anymore
Please
just
let me
go
Redux
Oh, Tazanna. I see you.
What a sublime vision.
My mind’s eye sees your majesty.
The glorious, the superb, the marvelous,
And the million other adjectives describing your presence.
I’m there reveling in it.
Swept away but immobile.
Will you notice me?

wanting to be felt
realized by some tuned in
love is elusive
she feels tormented
listen to the words she sings
her heart is broken
