They are pulled from me;
Stretched, knotted, and
Burned in a fireplace
Where trust and human emotions,
Are turned to blackened ash
I am left an empty roll.
The ribbons of my feelings,
Manhandled, manipulated
Mitigated, and misunderstood.
......
Sit with it,
Invite your fear for tea,
Make your feelings guests,
Anger, love and glee.
Let them be heard,
Celebrate them too,
They are yours to feel,
They belong to you.
......
I would love to describe
The color of the sky
In all it’s beauty and glory.
The white streak fading away
And fading to grey
As a storm is coming
The black wings of the hawk
Spread all the way out
......
The sound of a peal of thunder.
The pounding train tracks feeling of the ground.
Euphoria taking over me.
Just like a soulful moment at sea.
All the disturbances in me are soon fallen,
......
You came in to this world
with enough light to find
your way out of the dark,
enough kindness to save a soul,
enough love to shift a planet.
Don't worry, you are enquipped
with all you could ever need.
Look with in,
you are drenched in magic.
It was not with thunder,
nor with a shout across the sky.
No burning bush,no trembling ground,
just the quiet shift of air inside my chest.
The world stayed ordinary--
cars passed,leaves stirred,
the sun slipped behind a cloud unnoticed.
But I knew.
......
Vstopili ste v mojo temno stran
zlomili ste me brez razloga
skupaj ste vrgli sulico
na mojo žametno dušo
naredili ste da je moje nebo žalostno
poveznili ste mi ga čez glavo
vzeli ste mi zrak in vodo
uspavali ste moje srce
da ne čutim bolečine
v majhnih kosih

O memories of long ago
I never thought I'd miss you
I still remember those times
Never thought they'd be the best of times
Oh, how I long for those days
Hard as they were, painful even
They are the loveliest, nonetheless
Younger me would've been perplexed
If she knew I want those days back!
But perhaps that's how life is
......
Slowly time set us apart,
The other half’s sentiments died;
You showed me how to cry,
You showed me how to grief,
Pushed me to be alone and not trust thee.
An excellent job you did,
Broke me in pieces,
As many pieces as there are stars,
Desolation and depression
Is what a lone man has.
