Messiah (by James Leland Ludeau III from Lafayette,LA)

Messiah
or
Pariah
save me?
entomb me?
your spell cast
can it last
breathe a new breath into my lungs
will i wake up anew?
i won't get to the end of my days
saying i wasn't amazed
crazed
by my love for you
the flame flickers
will you wake up to find that you love me too?
is the best we can do?
tattered and torn
we led wicked lives
until we found each other
you, the day
i, the night
a fight
with all of our might
to grow
like a vine covering a fence
sometimes squeezing the air out of the room around us
we do this dance in the dark
with your words you cut me down the middle
you fuck me up a little
but you come back with arms open
hoping
that i'll lay back in them
and in my mind i already have
so what if my body just follows suit?
you can win the fight
i'll take the war
i'll wear the scar
this living for love
heaven above
hell below
what's left to show?
when you give your all
and you free fall
into the abyss
unable to resist
i will love you until my eyes close forever
never
not living for love

Anxiety

  Anxiety is like a flash flood. You’re standing in the most glorious sunshine, unaware of the rain falling high up in the mountains. Far away. You’re going about your day. Trying to stay in your gratitude for the beauty around you. And then..BAM!! Out of seemingly nowhere a rushing torrent sweeps you off of the safety you were standing in. It swells around you. Threatening. Ominous. It rips your peace away like tree roots. Until everything around you becomes a swirling mass of debris. No sight of your safe place. When it dissipates you’re left in the mud. With the muck. In the remains of who you were before it came. You’re left to contemplate the cleanup and the rebuild. What practice can you implement that will keep the flash floods away? Can you form a dam with prayer? Breathing? Yoga? Meditation? Incense? What foundation can you set that will keep you from being swept away again? Each cycle of this is a lesson. With each cycle a new you is born. A version who sifts through the rubb

She Dreams of the Desert

She dreams of the desert  Of its dangerous beauty  The unknown  He dreams of the desert  He knows the safety it holds for him  His long time only friend  She calls to them both  For very specific reasons  Seasons  Of their lives are different  But the desire is the same  The desert is a mermaid  With a sweet siren song  What you make of her  Becomes your fate Once you’ve answered her call

Took A Greyhound Bus To My Love

Image
  Took a Greyhound bus to my love   Waiting for me in Texas In a necklace  Story of a nexus  That grew into love  A love that connects us  Across state lines  Swamp to the desert  One leads to the other  Landscapes fade and change  Wide open range  Leaving plenty of space to fill with love  Daydreams  Of real things  That keep us intertwined  Took a Greyhound bus to my love  So I could dream the whole way  Of the way  She makes me feel  Smiles on my face for real  Green eyes sparkling through the night  Holding my baby tight  Wheels on the road  Turning round and round  Like the feels in my heart  Hitting like a dart  Pulling up on the target  Of my affection  No question  It’s been worth the whole ride
