Unveil

Image: Oleg Kosirev
verse: Syn Onym

It has taken me
a life time
to unveil myself
to
myself
in my fullness
to acknowledge
life
that runs through
my flesh and
to celebrate
the spirit
that throbs
in my veins:
ripe n fresh
like the fruit about to drop off.

Inside out

Verse by Syn Onym

The light outside asks
of this life
ordered in pleasure:
is there any escape
from waiting
endlessly
and then
fantasizing the elusive
peak of emotion?
The peaks are always
snow-capped.
The light outside
peeps inside
to invite
the present moment
to take wings.

Gaze

Verse: colin lascale

Oh those moments
when we floated
in a world of our own
and time stood still
every pore alive
with the joy of merging
into each other.
I am waiting
with all my fruits
of patient toil
you would float
in to harvest it
and create
that motionless time
the time of our life.

Alone

Verse: Syn Onym

You sculpted me
leaving not an ounce
extra.
I live
in this heartless world
with the burden
of your gift of
beauty.
My soul cries
out
to the
earth, the sky and
the wind
to give me their expanse.
Only they have
the wisdom
to listen and to give.

Life mortal

Verse by Syn Onym

I need the rock

To hold on to

And not get washed

Away by the current of life

And I need the current

That keeps me alive...

And burning.

There are many worlds

waiting inside me

to be born

anew;

for this body

is blessed

to play out

the turns and twists

of life mortal

as it tests the flesh

by fire.

you caught...

You caught me
revealing my secret...

Not that I live by my
passions,
nor that I rejoice
in God's gift
of this body,
nor even that
I offer all of me
at the altar;

but that the fire
that burns deep inside
me seals my lips
and speaks through
my eyes.

Verse by Aliashesh Image by J Andrieu

aftermath

I am lonely but not alone

you love to chase, I'm no game

my heart is not made of stone

I am not a bait nor am I so lame

i never did believe your vows

you did fool me a lot as usual

I opened my soul to yours

and you did hurt me still
