reflection
full circle
with each turn
opened a new universe
sweat, tears, hopes, dreams
all had their way
a birth and a death
in each experience
only love and learning
has remained
that journey now
has reached completion
and new horizons await
saudade
if only
you could see
what I see in you
hear what
I cannot say
you are
what no words
can contain
like all that is sacred
treasured, in my heart
you remain
you are..
you are to me
more than a story
more than a memory
suspended
aloft, on fluffed clouds
I breathe in freedom,
moments
drip pure light
feeding on music,
sipping poetry
no more longing
for drunkenness
that once
made me feel alive
deeper tranquil
feel life pulsating
through your veins
feel it from the inside
in your fingertips, in your toes
let your skin breath
let the sun warm your soul
walking the long road
you tumbled over and fell
tired, and weary at times
you sought answers
no one could ever tell
but look where you are
look how far you have come
your eyes, your skin, your face
they all have countless stories to tell
of wars you fought
with people
with your self
faces, forms
they all will fade away
for they were never there to stay
gaze inwards
where the answers lie
live deeper in love
beyond the perception
of your eyes
in your unrestrained soul
are the moments of sheer enormity
of a value beyond words
take a dip in that ocean
there’s nothing, no nothing of the world
that could quench that thirst
even in moments of despair
there is a deeper tranquil
find a way to it
and it will stay
feel your precious life
pulsating through the veins
I’ll say these words
before my speech
in silence
is lost again
distant home
may I never forget
the revered value
of each feeling sacred
leading me back
to where I belong
sparkling mirror
wandering with the eye of certainty
tasting sacredness and evolving into nothingness
I keep falling in love with everything I see
ephemeral cosmos
beluga feelings
conscious frequencies
and amorous galaxies crash
into infinite ocean
of my dreams
where colours take flight
and every breath
becomes an opportunity
to transcend kaleidoscopic time
watch how
my universe expands
when weightless in wordlessness
I float, like a reflection
through my cosmic mind

mirrored reflection
your love
keeps me afloat
what else do I need?

iridescent core
drifting gently
from a secret dwelling place,
your pensive reflections
often permeate reality
your sacred, tender heart
from another time, another existence
is a sun beaming in the mirror
nothing but eternal light shining through

inspired from my dear friend Matthew
golden authenticity
colours expand into monotonous dark space
reflection in a mirror
kaleidoscopic fireworks
