Elevator Doors...

Surreal in arms that circle the light
Elevator doors open
but not until midnite
yes, you've felt them
those doors closing tight
too late to stop
the closing of fate
to late to stop slowing
that intensive transit gate

The dance of time
the dance of fate
yes, those elevator doors
sublime
on fire
pushing the emergency button
dropping to the bottom...
Thud.....

Misty State of Grace

Insidious shores are trapped
Waves come crashing through my thoughts
dreamlike
moonlight
pulling gravity
lifting
the heavy weight
of the burdens I carry
drifting off to sleep
as the tide goes out......
In my Misty State of Grace

Hold Onto Me.....left out some words before, bears reposting again...

**I just cannot believe I left out the most important lyrics in this song for me in my prior post
so I think it bears reposting again....also the post of the "Whirlpool" pic below is related to this song
when it talks about "when your in the whirlpool and they try to suck you in remember you
aren't going to drown baby, hang onto me forever Baby, remember, I could always swim"..
But for some reason I could not post the attachment pic with this post...frustrating!...but oh well..
maybe now it may make more sense to some of you....but if not thats cool, I just wanted to remind myself!..:)
The lyrics to this song below are really just a reminder to myself and to encourage myself that
I'm going to make it, going to hold onto myself and going to keep "swimming" and not get
"sucked into the whirlpool".**

Hey this life is never fair
The angels that you need are never there
But sometimes they come to me
In the dead of winter
Dead of night
He's all that I can see

Hold onto me........

We all get our glory
A little bit of fame
But there's no truth at the heart of any of it
Just the brillance and the passion
And the bitterness remain....

How he brings me down
Down into the ground
I never will get out of here
get out of here
I will never get out of here
get out of here....

And I'll protect you from the night
it will never fall
And I'll protect you from the truth
you won't hear it at all
I am the center of the universe
I am the center of the universe.....

When you're in the Whirlpool
And they try to suck you in
Remember you aren't gonna drown Baby
Until you have had a better life
Hang onto me forever Baby
remember
I could always swim

Hush your highness don't you breathe
OH Baby hold me in your arms I'm shivering
What was all that for?
If I was the battle
Baby, you have won the war..........

Lyrics written and sung by Courtney Love, from her CD "America's Sweetheart"......

Independence Day....Quotes & Poems below...

There are no necessary evils in government. It's evils exist only in it's abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection and as Heaven does its Rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified Blessing.

Andrew Jackson


Be Courteous to all but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried, before you give them confidence. True Friendship is a plant of slow growth and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.

George Washington

Empty Purse....

She holds her Purse
clutched tightly
against her heart
unable to open it's contents...
for fear........
of what others may see inside....
too much clutter
and yet so empty...

Blind..

Denial is Blind....

Denial is Blind
Boggles the mind
friendly or unkind,
Starting a fire
out of control
hard to hold
never let go
hang on.....

Bind hands
so tightly
unable to losen
or set free...
holding on
to False reality,
with a grip
so fierce
boggles the mind,
as the soul is pierced
unable to find
what's ahead
what's real
and what's true,
beyond your own existence
of "you".

*A thank you to Ardi for helping to encourage me to gain inner strength to "Connect* to others with my words "once again"*

Dimensional Sunglasses...

See the Tigress in me
but unable to unleash
my Femininity...
It's hidden inside
my vulnerability
to protect from all sides
keep me safe from harm
is it time for me
to disarm?
Remove my sunglasses?
Let the Sun reflect my soul?.....

People walk blind
feeling no connection
with their spiritual sunglasses on
hidden in dimensional diguise
free from the truth
spreading all the lies.
Life is great
Life is never crooked
nor do we ever
make a mistake....

Straight ahead is a blazing Fire
burning to the touch
we're walking on hot coals
pretending there's no pain
pretending there's no sorrow
pretending there's no shame...

Only the light Reflects
what we cannot
or refuse to see
when wearing our dimensional sunglasses
we are covering up true reality..
