Frustrations pounding
Cruely dissecting my faults
Mountain air saves me
Tag: fear
Love is not domination
Love is free from fear
Force and control is not love
Important, this is
Hidden
Staying within the corners of my dreams,
Afraid to break free and explore the edges.
Light’s glorious textures outside my bounds,
Unable to reach for starlight beyond my gaze.
Never Enough
Fear motivates,
Drives us mad,
Greed, envy, despair:
And we know not how to resist.
Emptiness: A Meditation
Echoing within
A gnawing pit of emptiness,
Resisted, feeling.
Overcoming fear
Overcoming fear
Refusing paralysis
Drinking deep from life
Echoes of Anger
Fearful of ancient rage
Rattling dusty cadavers
Forgotten dreamsÂ
Hidden within
Away from the glare
Of expectation
Early morning wakefulness
Still, fears rise up
Providing discomfort
And misery; wakefulness
When I seek sleep.
Insecurities
Insecurities
Flickering across my mind
Sleep brutalized
Insecurity’s Fruit
Fears, insecurities,
Like rocks within
Sand; motion works
To grind all that’s
Good to dust.
