Flesh and Spirit

The spirit is strong,
The flesh is weak,
The spirit thinks,
The flesh speaks.
The soul doth yearn,
And the body aches,
The spirit wrestles,
And the body quakes.
But spirit and flesh,
Unified and whole,
Are slivers of divine,
Embryos of deific soul. Ω

Terra, Ar e Mar

Read more for an english translation

A minha terra bela,
Verde, por chover demais,
Não há terra como ela
Que tem qualidades tais.

O ar é meu alento,
Sussurrando pelos pulmões,
O fôlego vivo vive dentro,
Suspirando minhas paixões.

O mar é minha alma,
Flutuando nos sonhos meus,
Identidade tranqüila e calma,
Onde as beiras combinam com os céus. Ω

Strength of Mind-- Originally written 2006

The shadow descends,
Furrowing your brow.
The dark thoughts enter,
Hammer at your resistance, your defenses,
Your mental armor, your happiness.

Love--Originally Written 2008

A burning; the burning.
None can compare, nothing competes.
Such feelings of fulfillment, of completeness,
Are unique to the warmth, the passion, the intensity.
The soul-binding cadence matches the rhythmic beat of the fervent heart.
Intensity: all-controlling, all-consuming; fiery, free.
Controlling, incomparable, unstoppable.
Driving, compelling, needing.
Subtle strength infinite,
Unforgettable.
The burning:
Unyielding,
Powerful,
Ardent.
Found.
Lost.
Ω

Power Struggle--Originally Written February 2010

If every cut on my body is a tear in my heart,
Then how scarred my love is.
Beaten, ragged, thrown away and besmirched.
Unwanted: used, then destroyed,
Unfixable lest a new heart be given.
My love is useless.

The Life of a Word

Conceived in the mind,
Beginning as naught but thought,
The embryo doth grow,
Embodied notion is caught.
