 -What is the Moon? -The ancients considered it a lunar deity -Something spiritual worshipped across many mythologies -A Goddess, complementing the stars, contrasting the sun, and forever dancing with the Earth -A source of light in the night -When others look upon it, they find comfort -A Pathfinder for those that are lost -A Defender for those who are distraught -An Embracer for those who are fraught with negative thoughts -A constant traveler...passing through time...changing -So many phases, full and crescent shapes, the magnificent eclipse -A true wonder that inspired humanity to reach out and touch -Lay hands upon it, in an effort to better understand it -Interesting how what was once solar debris holds so much value to all living beings -Relationships are much like the Moon and the Earth -The force between them balances ocean and land -Constantly revolving, moving, but bound to each other -A connection absent color, taste, smell, sound -Synchronized, they establish a rhythm -Everyday, fluctuating between high and low tides -Harmony, chaos, retracting, adapting -Tides wash over sand, it smooths out imperfections, blemishes, bruises, hurt are erased -We become level again, our hearts revived -The tide doesn't seek to recreate you or reform any part of you -Its purpose is to sustain you, guide you, for as much as you allow it or empower it *TOO SEE MORE POEMS BY AAYLX CLICK "PREVIOUS"!!!
 -What is the Sun?
-Many years ago people worshipped it as a God, called it Ra -They believe Ra rose as young child at first light, hung as a proud adult during mid-day, and rest as an old soul -And the next day reborn a new -I simply find solace in sunrise and sunset, transitional periods, so beautiful -Feeling as if you are connected to something more -Just like water, all life need night just as much as light -Such warmth, it can strengthen all things -But too much can hurt, event burn -Is that what I did to you -I never mean to hurt you -Is that why you ignore me -Once upon a time, my heart and mind were conflicted -Let the voices of others steer my actions -Not really weighing the consequences of a decision -I never stopped thinking about you -Doing any and all things to give you the space I thought you wanted -You tried, and I denied you -Afraid of liking of you and all the means -To think, for a year, holding emotions inside -When finally you released, I failed to catch -Thinking what you felt would not last -Desiring what I did not have or could not provide -Hiding myself, it was cowardly -You are more than just a pretty face -A spark, a friendship, maybe more -Willing to move in any direction if you desire it -Ready to assume risk and all that means -I found my reason -I believe what I feel is not without cause -Do your thoughts still linger, entertain possibility -That relaxed style, that smile, how you believe you're wild, a free spirit -I could be that wind next to you, because no one needs to carry you, strong all on your own -Sometimes the wind shifts, gets a bit crazy -It's hard when we want it to be soft -Moves fast when we want it to be slow -It makes mistakes and if we forgive, like the sun, two souls/two lives can be reborn a new
-You are no better than who you lay with
-Pity most do not seem to understand this -Ultimately, it becomes just another disappointment -For which there is no ointment or cure -Save for a heart or mind willing to work with, not fight against, the lure -You catch, put it back, catch, put it back -Close inspections, key decisions, all to brief -Time helps decide which is or was worth the keep -How long can we endure the ones that break, faint, swim away? -We try a new cast, a new location -We change pieces of bait, change parts of ourselves -Is it luck? -Why do we even give a fuck? -So much doubt, so many routes -We fish because we desire sustenance -Fuel our soul, spiritually grow -Let go, release, breathe -It’s out of our hands if and when we receive -A blessing? A lesson? -How long do we maintain a levy with flood waters ever so heavy? -Fear of failing, buckling -Fear of washing away, crumbling -Losing the components that build the foundation, once a proud formation -Forcing everything on a course we know not what destination, raging current, no direction -Floating away as debris, a life without density -No tangible meaning, barely reason to continue struggling -Reflecting on what we possess and what is absent -Thinking we know but we don’t -Believing we will but we won’t
- I want to…
- Hold you, touch you, love you - Lay beside to you, feel your warmth - Fall asleep to the sound of your heart beating - I never say it, but in you I see potential, deeper meaning - A different perspective, changing me, breathing new life in me - But I’m sacared… - To surrender all that is left of me - To entrust my soul into someone new - Some relationships you can’t simply undo - Some bonds seem innocent but underneath are fake - With high stakes there’s benefit, but there's also profound sadness - Discovery of something very tragic - Falling in love is like giving into madness - Running in a circle, losing traction - The opposite of playing safe and thinking clear - Words fall from ears, and emotions overwhelm from the outside-in - Replaying moments, forming memories - What we wouldn’t give to live a story with a happy ending - So much risk in a true kiss but to not partake would be undoubtedly remiss - The same intensity I feel to take you in my arms is the same intensity keeping me from closing the distance - You're reaching, I see it - Don’t know if I should grasp it - Once I take hold, it’s all or none - I have no in-between, only me, that’s all I know how to be - Sprung, so right but so wrong - How do we know where we belong? - Such a gamble becoming unraveled - Fighting, and I can hardly stand it - Evading, and I don’t even like it - Running, and I have no asthmuth
-You say you know what it means to be a family
-But that “traditional” ideology breeds perpetual tragedy -Marriage is not about making babies -It’s a promise to share a path together -No matter the weight of the ruck sack or how many times you double back -Life is about the journey just as much as the destination -Experiences and reflections are where all humans grow -Karma -That’s why we reap what we sow -The ultimate sacrifice of love gave us those opportunities -The ability to succeed, fail, and repeat -The day I meet my Maker I go without race, religion, or gender -Before You only a single soul with many goals -Believing in something more for all creation and under all nations -Ascend, descend, rise again for however many times it takes to evolve, build resolve, and walk beside the heavenly -See pockets of societies misplace compassion for want and greed, for a title or entitlement they need not receive -What does it mean to be clean? -If it’s to harm like you, act self-righteous like you, I don’t want it -I’d rather be remembered for what I tried to do but couldn't than what I did and shouldn’t -I’d rather listen than berate -I’d rather learn than discriminate -I’d rather love than tolerate -We are limited in what we perceive -That’s why we should fight harder to understand each other and stop hating one another -For once in this life—practice what you teach, live what you preach -Truth is…expression, identity, sexuality are fluid and dynamic constructs -All adaptions made in an authentic image -A beautiful blend of simple and complex -All parts of the same tree, grown from the same seed -Colors of unity, spirituality -We’re all wrong -Formed under the same original sin only the Almighty forgives -From the first to last breath, our choices determine our fate -A system of energies already free -Are you wolf, dog, or sheep? -Pray, may you find the answer that you seek
-They say it’s sinful, a loss of control, a slip in convictions, but this is different
-A physical manifestation, a liberal expression, of this overwhelming connection -Heart races, your body embraces -Surround me, you’ve found me -In any view as lay with you, I adore you -The way your body glistens -Tell me what you want, I’ll listen -All parts of your body, I’ll be kissing -Give you all the things you’ve been missing -The love you always deserved, I’m delivering -Lush lips, soft skin -I want to take you to heaven and back again -Your hand in my hand -Takes time to truly admire you -Let hands and lips inspire you -Raise the fire in you -Enlighten me, excite me -Your pleasure, my privilege -Beyond lust, beyond infatuation -Sound of you breathing, moaning, wincing -My obsession, you’ll remember -Caring eyes, touching gently, shivering -When I make love to you, I’m just appreciating all of you -Give your body the same joy I feel in my soul -Take me, until you’ve had enough of me -Smile, feels like I’m living in a dream -Caress your face, hearts in the right place -Passionate, conversation, exasperation -Build to climax, all others to outlast
-It’s my fault
-I left myself open for you -I trusted you -Fell so far and so fast -Lord help me, I wanted to be lost in you -Your voice, your touch, your love -You could have let go too -I was here to catch you -I was here to hold you -Babe, I was here -You want me but not all of me -What are the pieces without the whole? -Fumbling, Stumbling -All or nothing -Babe, I was ready to do anything you asked of me -Separate, Desperate -Thought this was going somewhere -But we are going nowhere -Said you can but you can’t -You got scared and ran from me -I could have been enough for you -I would have been worth it for you -Some come and some go -Babe, I wanted you to stay -Be the other half your whole -I accepted all of you -I would have healed what was broken -I could have gathered all those pieces -I could have molded them into something better -Your personal craftsman -Only you held value -In me you could have rested -Or maybe you were always drifting -And I was seeking to grasp what was never mine |
