My heart of hearts.
Hallow heart,
once made of gold.
You I sold.
No one foretold.
To he who has it,
never part.
Can’t return it now,
I must restart.
To he who has it,
you have all force.
Strength deep within the source,
feel no remorse.

Leave me now.
No pain or sorrow.
Better now,
before tomorrow.
Express no words.
Better not say,
for words betray.
Each lie causes my heart to frey,
torn apart in pure decay.
Rather hear no words at all now,
Silence is my only sound.

I walked the roads, both low and high,
In search of where my bonny lie,
And when I found her, I did cry,
My bonny love,
I know her spirit’s in the sky,
Far up above.
She’s freed from all her earthly woe,
As in the ground she’s laid below,
Where fields of purple heather grow,
My bonny dear,
I hear her voice, as breezes [...]

So many years, so much faith, Hu,
such bounty in mankind,
the sun shining through its lens
to etch truth into books.
I hold a mirror to my face, looking at
my life from the world’s arched back.
Steel rods fill the mandala of my dreams,
bars that won’t let me leave like I should,
to leap over the Great Wall to the [...]

This aeon is treacherous;
An age of strife, evil and wickedness
We see only masked faces
Turning our life into masquerades;
Feigned smiles, convincing flatteries,
Fetish beliefs, false promises;
All carrying a shackle attached to their ankles.
High- octane thoughts, high pitched laughter,
Like the crackling of thorns, under a pot,
High-speed affability, pretending hypocrites;
Hyperbolic utterances, simulated snobbishness.
When man loves [...]

Worry will take over sometimes. We read blogs in the dark, not knowing the whole story, only seeing what the writer wants us to see. We get concerned. A reader might say this to her favorite author:
Are you doing fine? Could you tell me why you write stories about dark places?

“Dearest! What makes you to conceive
That grief is alluring, and sweet to taste?”
“I feel I am more beautiful when I immerse
In grief and douse my face in tears.”
“Why don’t you hate or despise those,
Who believe, they are your foes
And disparage you with indignation?”
“In life, I have been [...]

There is no god they say,
no essence up above.
Just chemical reactions,
the way to define love.
There is no soul within you,
electronics in your brain.
When you die its over
you’ll just be dust again.
This is a favorite theory
from a master race.
76 cents of chemicals,
the worth on you they place.
It is a handy story,
they do explain it well.
You’re [...]
