Choices

2011-11-16T19:01:00.001-06:00

I am, you are, we are - All one in the same; Hating being pointless - War brings only shame. Within the battle - Reaching, screaming out; War wages oneself - Self - what it is about. Tiny ripples growing - Intensity slowing building; The rising of the unseen - Ever increasing shielding. Before our eyes - Bending of the forces; Will you awaken? Know these are choices.

Beyond Ability

2011-11-15T17:51:00.001-06:00

Underneath the wince, the emotion I notice - I read not your expression; the energy is clear; An observation at the deepest level, but still - Only an observation - emotion does not appear. This, a way of being, seen by others abstract - The knowing, and wanting to know possesses; Few, though seem to see it as it really is - Blessed souls now here to lead the masses. And wrong, I am, for this

For Love or Karma

2011-06-02T13:54:00.000-05:00

Confess to me your undying love - For all these years I have waited; When will you finally speak truth? For so long you have debated. And what day can I plan on To be finally free of this pain? To hear those words, I beg you, Before this aging mind is insane! Is it, then, you don't feel it? Do my own senses only deceive? I know this with all of my being - What is it, my love, you believe? An

Deep Within

2011-03-24T21:54:00.000-05:00

Deep beneath the soul, yet on the very surface - Who we appear to be, the ultimate illusion; From divine love there is never any separation - We are only masked by the frequency of confusion. Always aching and yearning for something missing - Longing for the place we truly call home; Looking for the other half, who is not here - In perpetual motion, the heart will always roam. An awareness begs

Revolving Door

2011-02-04T07:08:00.000-06:00

A constant round of circles; Leading nowhere, never ending - Looking always for the way; Evidently lost, not pretending. A cycle of will non-existent; The other cycles continue to spin - Revolving always, forever behind; There is never any way to win. Perfectly in sync at different paces; Never any closer or farther away - Missing the exit on every round; It wasn't meant to be this way. A

Dance of the Muse

2011-02-01T19:53:00.001-06:00

Glittered in love, straight from the center - The muse that waltzes through my soul; A never ending emulsion of the unexpected - The flow of spirit, the beautiful goal. A dance like no other underneath the stars - Moonlight glowing through the shadows; Taken away to another place and time - Basking in all the soul hallows. Unconditional and unbridled fiery passion - A moment of mesmerizing

Trust the Heart

2011-01-21T20:32:00.000-06:00

Hair with hues of blue, as the darkest raven - Deep, lustrous pools of passion look out, Seeing not what stands patiently before him, All, in fear, this invisibility brought about. What speaks to and urges on the soul - The glorious passion that ever burns within; Trust never being an option, as it seems - Would the opposite of that be such a sin? You see letting go as taking away this fire -

Spawned by Addiction

2011-01-17T12:30:00.000-06:00

Anxiety ridden, always waiting - Tuned to the one hundredth degree; Lost in the ugly dreaded moment, Knowing what never can be. This thing has its nasty hold - Carrying you without consciousness, Breaking every emotion within; Taking you away to its nothingness. So not a thing that can just be observed - Caught in the rigid emotional trap; Knowing you are the only one with keys - Only you can

Waiting

2010-10-07T23:41:00.000-05:00

And so I wait for you with bated breath - Spinning in sleepiness but wanting your touch; Hoping for the rush of your energy coming in - It is only you, I could anticipate so much... The thought of your breath as you whisper, Leaves my body in boundless chills - I hear your voice and feel you so very clear, The rush of my imagination, my heart feels. And so I leave you for the land of dreams - In

Come Home

2010-01-02T04:35:00.004-06:00

Gladly, will I submit to your claim;Knowing not, even, all you ask of me -Knowing still, with all my heart, all I am;All I long for, is still yet to be.The words I long to hear from your lips;I beg you, put them to my name -Know, that I am here, still, in wait;Waiting to rid you of your pain.I feel your breath and know it's pace;Though miles of road keep you afar -Wherever I am, I carry my heart;

Shadow Man

2009-12-24T21:27:00.004-06:00

You are but a shadow in my land -A thing that cannot be revealed;A moment of fleeting energy -In a burst, though shortly lived.Creeping near every corner wall -Watching, waiting; but for what;What is it that you seek here?In between worlds, you are caught.Purposeful, as if on a mission -The bursts you emit so often;Not a heart in all the world -This hardness within you soften.Not one in need of

You Are Me

2009-11-29T04:54:00.003-06:00

In every moment I see your smile -You should be here with me;I long to feel your gentle touch -But I wonder now, will this be?Connected across time and land -To know your heart once again;Your boundless soul knows mine -But this time, will my heart win?A fleeting thought I know is yours -A song I hear, always in my mind;I know you are thinking of me -But, will my heart, you find?I can see through

Powerful Words

2009-09-17T08:46:00.005-05:00

So powerful are the words that you speak -Why, indeed, do you speak to me in this way;Hidden in the shadows, concealing yourself?Light is truth, opened wide - words you say.Is it then, a game you play? - you do see me -That acknowledgement, I give, that you seek;In tune, indeed, or did this take study?Clever, you are, in knowing where I am weak.Is your intent, then, to frighten? -To leave me with

Centuries

2009-08-31T22:02:00.003-05:00

I have known you through centuries -In my dreams I am gently guided;Times and eras where we have been -Blessed memories, I stand excited.For all eternity, I have known you -Through each cycle, to find you at last;Once again, remembering every event;As if, all in one moment, is our past.What was it, my love, that I once did?A cell of worry exists through fear;Perhaps, it is, you misunderstood -It

Butterflies

2009-08-27T09:37:00.004-05:00

The butterflies have returned -Once again, they whirl inside me;At the sight of you, fluttering -A sight they so longed to see.Your energy is with me still -Though you are so many miles away;Lost in the moment without time -With so much still left to say.I knew you would not go far -Still the agony swelled deep;Needing your smile, your words -My heart took a giant leap.Faith in knowing without a

Unlocked Treasure

2009-07-08T22:36:00.004-05:00

At times I've thought to break the silence -That lingers still between you and I;Uncertain if I really should do that or not -Wondering if you've thought of our goodbye;To share such, as all that we shared -Distance between us so vast and great;How can one just simply walk away -From paths that crossed by fate?Irrational words burst through emotion -No time to think, impatient with pain;Angry for

The Fire Within

2009-07-08T13:43:00.005-05:00

Find the ember that starts the flame -Let flame light flame through your being;Let loose the creativity inside you -Then visions of heaven, you'll be seeing.Let your spirit soar beyond all fears -Look back in triumph from where you are;Love with every ounce of your heart -Dance in gratitude for every star.Set loose the oxygen to fully ignite -Breathe deeply and exhale the weight;Know you are

My Lover's Clovers

2009-07-05T16:38:00.004-05:00

Skimming slowly through the grass, feet bare -In a meditative state with the nature sounds;Lost in my silence, not expecting you there -And then your energy suddenly surrounds...My eyes wide open, I see your bare foot -Only half an inch pointing toward my own;Just in between, a four leaf clover as if put -By your hand, into the ground, sewn.A warmness comes as I hold the clover -Memories swirl of

Open

2009-06-27T19:23:00.000-05:00

Until the sun shines on the morrowI will wait, enchanted by all it brings I am growing by leaps and boundsI wait, as the bird on my window singsOpen to all I can enjoy this dayOpen to all growth I can receiveOpen to all those I can guide in spiritOpen to all those who will believeBrought through all to stand straightAs the tree swayed but did not bendSo my spirit has followed its leadAnd brought

Judge of Truth

2009-06-27T19:12:00.004-05:00

How is this, you know another’s pathHow is this, you know their truthWhat has brought such wisdomThat you may judge as a sleuth?How then, is it that you knowThe guilt of one you have not knownThe heart of the one you knew notOr what was reaped by what was sown?Not your task to judge anotherOnly yourself you are clearly showingGiving all the world what you holdIn your righteous world of

A Piece of God

2009-05-24T22:33:00.006-05:00

Alas, my friend, the power of God -Lies deep within you indeed;Always more to explore and know -Of Him, you are a tiny seed;All are connected, as all are one -We are strung with silver thread;Released to experience our lives- To create and grow as we are led.How then, pretell, could you not be -Worthy of all you can dream?If you are but a piece of God -Then, how else should it seem?Copyright Beth

Open Heart

2009-05-19T17:21:00.004-05:00

Lost in the enchantment of every day -Knowing something special will be there;I could not wait for the morning sun -Now, it seems, the light I cannot bear.I pour my heart and give without thought -While others keep theirs caged and guarded;Why does that scare another being so?A shame, it seems, to be tender hearted.An open heart full of love and acceptance -Games of mind, within me, are not found

Visions

2009-05-16T15:23:00.001-05:00

In the pyramids of my tired mind,I see the stretch that you bore;Such innocence lost so young,Life for you, exists no more.What once was a vibrant light,Has ceased now in this realm;All for the growth and love,Of all those you were around.Tonight I see it all so clearly,And now I carry your message;Peace be brought unto you,Blessed be your soul's passage.Copyright Beth Layne 2009

Trapped

2009-04-29T19:36:00.005-05:00

Indeed, I hear your whisper in my ear -Raising the tiny hairs on my nape;Swallowing slowly, as not to miss a drop -From what is it, you so long to escape?Mesmerized, I am waiting for the flow -The images and sounds you wish to share;At warp speed, the feed of the story -Brought to this point by doom and despair.Time, for you, having stood endless still -Centuries and ages have long been past;The

Anticipation

2009-04-22T14:14:00.004-05:00

Emotion that I can no longer contain -Seeps quickly from my fingertips;A desire that has finally taken me -I hear my own words leaving my lips!A wanting I have kept silent within me -Now, known by the one who knew not;My fear of saying has left me dry -In complete darkness, I fired the shot.Leaked words have left me relieved -No more secret heart left to bear;I've gone off into the distance -
