Raw Soul

 

Nothing Nowhere

Emptiness

Walls

And locks on doors

Imagination

Without permission

Love hidden

Unexplored

A mind that's been tricked

NO!

A heart that's been tricked

By the mind

Song of emotion controlled

Yes, by the mind

Wounds in the Soul

open and raw

polluting our world

Of passion

As we lay exhausted

Bleeding, dying

Crying from our gut

Nowhere to go.

HOLD MY HEART

 

Hold my heart and hold it dear

It isn’t bad just filled with fear

Fear of what I’ve left behind

And fear of what I may not find

 

My heart just cannot live alone

It’s grown with love

And love it’s owned

 

Now this old heart so filled with pain

Is lonely, lost

Needs love again

Hold my heart and hold it dear

It isn’t bad just filled with fear

STAINED GLASS

 

If nothing else it was your eyes that I believed.

Now not even that is real anymore.

 

How does one lie with his eyes?

And so it seems that these too are just a dirty, deceptive

Soul-wounding part of man.

 

What now can I trust if I can't trust your eyes?

The windows of your Soul

 

Those stained-glass windows of your soul.

And not drown."

ACID TRUTH

My pain is an acid

                That eats away my Soul

Corroding the locks

                                      That hold back the truth

 

                     My Truth is an acid                

It needs to consume

                                    To do what it's made to do.

                     My pain                    

                            is my acid                   

                                  is my truth

INNER FLAME

 

From where it comes I do not know

The inner flame begins to grow

I see within my godly eye

The wisdom light

And the deadly lie

 

Beneath my skin, inside my veins

I feel the joy and inner pain

And I recall my pure youth

The innocence

And the uncouth

 

I cannot say I’ve loved enough

Yet still the love has found me

And I hide behind the hardened glass

Afraid it will devour me.

 

By Waterkat

 

 

 

To lie down naked and vulnerable with another

To open myself slowly, to partake

as the other unfolds to me-

These are the basic human acts

Which connect me with the Life force

And with my own humanity

For me, it is the expression of the Spirit

And power of my womanhood.

 

Without it I am diminished

Stopped from expressing essential parts

of myself…

Words and gestures would lie unused

And accumulate like debris around my heart.
