You may think I hide a jewel
That brings sparkle to my eyes,
You covet it and seek It, but if
I tell you: you live amid lies?
For what is it that you cannot find,
That will give you all of its kind,
It lies within your very blood
This precious jewel you think I've got.
You may break me with your words,
Hit me with sticks and stones,
With staves you may call me names
Of jealousy you are borne.
But there is no need to be so torn,
Or search without and become worn,
For this shining, lit veritable gem,
Is at your beckoning, at your very hem.
So channel it for I still love you,
And the love you seek is within you.

A jewel there

It ends well
When anxiety creeps on you,
And your breath heavy, heart stalling,
Your thoughts racing, chasing
Dreams, what keeps you from falling
Is being present in the ever present,
Tackling the issue by the horns in reverence
To the moment, and living it up,
For whatever it was will sort itself out.
Take a pause. Create the cause.
And do. Do. Do. Do justly good,
It is well understood
You need not deny
Or identify,
Or plummet to suffering hell,
Because all's well that ends well.
And it will.

I cannot fail
Many diversions come to pass,
As I stand in this vale it seems dark.
I can see a flicker shining somewhere by
That will lead me upwards to the sky.
I know the path is correct, I chose well,
But how I tread on it only I can tell.
My maker has left me to chart my course,
And I proclaim love and hope of course.
What if I don't reach the light? The doubt dawns,
Even though I trudge, stretch and yawn.
This slumber has caught me so deep,
That I am never awake and always sleep.
So many dreams I have weaved like a cobweb,
I'll break them now lest I'm caught in their depths.
The flame is near, the wind on a trail,
Leading me to my destiny: I cannot fail.

To my twin
The say that a twin
Is hard to lead by,
Confusing, monotonous,
So predictable, so sly;
But they warm your heart so
Because so confusing it becomes,
They seek you on the word go
Whether times are good or tough.
My twin, twinning I'd be
There to back your bone;
I hope that you see
That you are not alone.

The end
Where are you trapped
My darling friend?
Run far and away
Till the next bend.
He was put forth here
For you to send
And heal your heart
But it seems like the end.
Would he forsake his vices
For your fortune to mend?
It's difficult really
To comprehend.
But i hold out my hand
But you are sad and
Despondent now,
Reaching out
Only in the final bout.
Youll find me standing
When you're out of the maze,
With arms open wide,
To rest your case.
All i have is good wishes,
And a few misses,
My darling friend
Just reach the end.

Let's play a game
We stand in line awaiting the whistle,
Many contenders prepared for the hustle;
Some mortified with things past gone wrong,
Some looking for just fun, dance, all along,
Wondering if they would be made to sit,
And lo and behold! The whistle does tick;
The forward pass, I tackle it slow
From the very word when you said go;
So many doubts, but play we must,
To this feeling we must all do just;
Thickening storm crowds the ground,
But we go on and on, round and round,
Your smell fills the fresh air
And mingles with every sweat and hair;
Im sure this game was played fair,
So let's shake hands, shall we, for all we care.
