Darkness…

 Darkness
I’ve been filled with it before
and knew I couldn’t take much more
The blackness filled me to overflowing
yet I managed to keep on
going

I waited it out
I made it through
Forgot about the shadow
when your light shone through

I never knew darkness could get deeper
So far beyond fear of
The Reaper

I knew that there were worse things than death
Just not that it could be the next breath

Blackness
caught me unaware
After allowing me to care
I thought that I had made
it free
but it was just toying
with me

Such a sick joke
evil smile while I choke
Don’t know if I can make it past
But when I’m gone
darkness will last
and last

Rub a dub dub…

RUB A DUB DUB
—————
Alone in my tub
Hands too busy to scrub

‘Cause every pass puff puff
Is from my right to my luft

But the right hand doesn’t know
What the left one’s doin’ yo

That’s the trick
When the suds are thick

I got lotsa bubbles
That cover my troubles

And suds that totally hide
My slippery slide

In my dreams…

“In my dreams I see fiddlebacks among the fiddleheads”  ~ Kiddo

I peeked…

I peeked…
during savasana
as I surrendered in the dark
My eyes gently opened
to show me a dream world
The puddle of sweat was
a sea rippled
by the warm breeze
of my breath
soft candle light reflecting
across the surface
like golden moons
The soft voice of this world’s
goddess encouraging me
to let go
I peaked…
during savasana
as I surrendered in the dark

                               Savasana (shah-VAH-sah-nah; Sanskrit: शवासन; IAST: śavāsana), corpse pose

Post yoga poem…

20130513_172848-1

All the parts of me
that eyes can never see
are doing a happy dance.

Neither girl or boy
the true me is perfect joy
rockin’ out when given a chance

The mirror shows me
alone on my mat
breathing and flowing
From dog to cat

Finding openings
that night had closed
becoming myself
As I posed

Body moving in time
controlled and calm
mind awake to the sublime
connecting is the balm

I came to find out what I need
not to name or judge but heed
I knew that I had found it
when I realized..

inside I was dancing

Ruminations with Kiddo

~Ruminations with Kiddo~

 You can give up your obsessions but they can never be replaced.

 No matter how you distract yourself there’s always that obsession shaped hole inside of you.

 Sometimes you can get far enough away from it that the void begins to appear smaller

 but if you even whisper into this emptiness the echoes reverberate revealing it’s true depth

 and instead of fading away the echoes swell and expand with a ripple effect

 as if you’ve dropped a peculiar stone into a deep dark well of madness.
