I see my shadow stretched long on the wall,
Then I fall
And can see not at all.
I've been hit from behind by the
snake of the past
Whose teeth are of glass
And break off in my....
Ask me a question before I let go...
Of the rope that is holding....
My sense..
Tells me that there's something amiss
It chews at my being
So long, I've been dreaming
When I wake will I find that I've been left behind?
Or am I running ahead of the bulls in my mind?

The Mask
I had a debt to pay so I paid it off with my happiness. The happiness, now gone, left a hole, so I filled it with tears. To keep my from drowning in my tears, I used anger...and to hide all of this?.... I have my mask.
Life of an Empath
Day in and Day out
Emotions of the world
flow through me as
water flows through a damn
no one understands
the pain i receive
through the world
but this gift was
given unto me because
of will of the heart & soul
the emotions of life
melt to me as though
i'm that pain
of mysef
theres no turning down
only beginning
only people with this
gift will understand
the pain i receive
day in & day out
Demon's Song
Spiteful daggers
sere
as downward cast
my eyes do bleed
injustice
power to see
darkness
true form not hidded
in snow
runs the vein
bitter
cold
hurt
stuggle to break
prison
locked in
twisted past
not forgotten
hidden
freedom
illusion
unearthed in
ceaseless time
unfolding
shattered slivers
rain outward
past the barrier
shred flesh
of old demons
goodbye

Who Givest All
Alcimenes, an ancient man,
Though poor and humble ne'er forgot
To offer little gifts to Pan.
Spring water in an earthern pot
A fig, an apple, nothing more -
And standing made his lowly prayer.
'Thou giv'st me from thy plenteous store
All that my trees and seedlings bear.
So take this water from the spring,
The fruits that thou has made to thrive;
Take not too close a reckoning,
But give me more than I can give.'

Unthinkable
In the darkenss of my mind,
in the corner you might find.
Hidding in the night, shrinking in his fright,
a little man about to fight.
How it grows the rage he know,
when it kills, it also builds.
and when it shows its monsterous face,
it shall devoure his entire race.
The Rage could'nt of cared,
as long as your scared.
If you think to run off to hide,
you might as well have died.
Because if thats what you so choose,
life has no chance, its gonna lose.
Hungry to hurt, it begins to lurk,
drying his eyes, he begins to rise.
He wont go down,m not like a clown,
Hes going to fight, with all his might.
The rage is strong with all its bron,
but the man is smarter, with the corage of a marter.
Which one dies?
Cant you see it in my eyes?
As the last one falls,
the darkness calls.
In the darkness of my mind,
in the corner you might find.
A little man about to fight......
.......or a monster thats grown in spite.

Bannishing Tonight
Anger, Hate, Rage, and Spite.
These are the things I feel tonight.
What should I do, where should I go?
Any where to escape that raging hoe.
She says its all because of me.
I'm the hate of hell times three.
A coward I am, so I will not fight.
Even though this is who i truly spite.
Do not worry I am no danger.
Its from her, that comes all my anger.
Anger, Hate, Rage, and Spite.

The Dream
up into the forest i took a walk. silently seeking a moonlight talk.
Her most Gracious, I was hoping to find, down the wooded mountain, the path did wind.
into a clearing the path did stop ... a crytal clear lake, perfectly hidden, from the mountains' top.
the skies they twinkled with zillions of stars, reflecting their long journeys from afar.
the full moon shone, extrodinaire, as fireflies flitted all through the air.
the scent of the trees, the plants and the earth, filled my heart with a humble rebirth.
i made my way to the waters shore, feeling Her presense drawing me, ever more.
standing upon the waters' edge, closing my eyes .... intune in my head.
my sight then taken to the center of the lake, under my feet, the earth did quake,
the water opened and She then arose. Loving and kindred, all shining and aglow.
silvery and whispy, her breath i could feel, caressing my heart, taken back on my heel.
water falling upon me like rain, a golden wave covered me, Her Essense, Her Stain.
She towered above me, All Beauty ......... All Life. the earths' Blessed Mother, my Sister, the HornedOnes' wife.
I looked upon my once sallow skin ....... all golden, aglow ..... all Her beuty within.
as She blew a breath so fresh was the air... me standing in awe, lost in my stare.
not seeing the stars that no longer twinkled....faint dots in the sky they were sprinkled.
the skies were the brightest thru the darkest of dark, the moon consumed, softly glowing ....shining straight thru her Heart.
She looked upon me, it was then that she smiled, a warmth fell upon me, i became one with the wild.
all total hearts were beating as one, me ... the earth ... the sky ...... all her work done.
seeing my reflection in this sacred lake, golden and glowing in the gentle wake.
She too soon departed in a flash of fire and rain, me standing there ...
all golden ..... all tamed.

The Gathering
Peace, and intimacy resound in the voices of those with fair hearts.
Pedagogic minds, and lofty wills combine to form one part.
There is fire, and air, and water, and earth. Dancing, and disbursed
throughout the words of men and women is mirth.
There is worship of all
God’s belief, song, and instrumental revelry.
There is nothing that is not conical.
Nothing is denounced, and welcomed are those of the craft.
For in many forms comes light and truth.
Here, no man or woman is seduced from his or her chosen path.
Coalesced are the erudite of all religious ways.
This ground is hollowed; sanctified by all Gods of all faiths.
Here a people have given both to a new genesis, and we are
once again consummated.
There is no difference, and in each and every individual heart
oneness’ is assimilated.

Hey walking beauty,
beauty is before me,
beauty is behind me,
above me, and below me.
Earth my body,
water my blood,
air my breath, and fire my spirit.
Mother,
I feel you beneath my feet.
Mother, I feel your heartbeat.
Father, I see you when eages fly.
You spirit takes us higher and higher.

The place in which I hide
There is a little place in which I hide, for I'm afraid of burnning.
Criticism, and ridicule taint the spirits learning.
Should not I push forth with all my strength, with rhetorical
lust for blood.
And place top witches blade a hand for craft I love.
While reading literature placed by ancients upon the passing soul
of fathers. The redes, oaths, and books of earth, sun and moon, passed down
to son and daughter.
In this place in which I hide afraid of being burned.
Called the craft, and my liberation from the shameless yearn.
For one unforgiven, I remain hidden in the little place inside.
My heart, the art, and that part of me that reasons with spiritual mind.
Here I stand at the door afraid to step outside.
Burnning, persecuted, pagan liberated afraid no more for what
is inside.

What lies Within
A dark forest with no light around
a clown with an unhappy frown
A rose with no life
A pain that cuts like a sharpen knife
Sadness,despair, unhappiness..
a touch with out caressness
A heart with no love
No soft spoken words from above
Time that seems to never end
a lonliness that will not bend
A tree that can not grow
A river that can not flow
A musical insturment with no tune
a night that has no moon
A game that has no fun
a day that has no sun
All this is what lies within......
a clown with an unhappy frown
A rose with no life

I Used To Love You
I used to love you
I loved the way I looked to you
when I climbed behind your eyes
to see me as you do
and the way you move magick with a fluid grace
making the common complex
the simple superb
I used to love you
the way your thoughts reaching into mine
could move me more than any touching
Sometimes complex things are found in simple forms
like the eyes of an owl can see in the dark
or the intricate shape of an orchids bloom.
The twinkling of a star.
I used to love you
Things felt not seen.....things known not learned.
There is so much to you.
You affect all the crossings on my journey
being at the center of my crossroad.
Some how appearing with an esoteric form
quietly unassuming.
But I know there is unequaled pure power
carefully concealed.
I used to love you.
Where time and space held no boundaries
where my heart sings, without limits
and no borders to cross alone
where my soul feels safe....my world turns in balance
and your blackness is always there to camouflage
I used to love you
I have known you light years already
From the first kiss in the doorway
when you named me your Selket
when you wrapped your soul around my heart
and spell cast me with your music
I used to love you
And then I learned
that you had loved me first......and so I love you more.

echoes in love of life
as i stumble out of the archway door
work weary of a tedious night
the ice chill wind kisses me
for a brief moment i peer to the south
and the past of a lost heart long unseen
the wind tenderly humming its song
i start to tread on frosted grass
how it crackles beneath me!!
how the chilly night air embraces my neck
i raise my head to seek out the luna
but tonight she sleeps in darkness
as do i,alone,lost in icy embrace of memories
yet with every step my heart quickens
the scent of the coming spring drawing near
and the loving touch of the wind
how i reach upwards with outstretched hand
how i embrace this cold night air
how i miss my lost fallen one
still with every step
hand in hand with the wind
i smile a bit
then a grin
then laughter
work weary of a tedious night
the ice chill wind kisses me

Isolationism
When at me you glance
you see beauty by chance
but what's underneath
is but heartache and grief
and so by that look
you judged the cover of my book
and thought to be healed
what was shattered and peeled
and from the outside
you see beauty and pride
when what's from within
is darkened and dim
no shining flower
but one darkest hour
that lasts through your smile
and drags on by the mile
when everything seems
as if honey and dreams
but on the inside
the honey has dried
and the dream fades away
with each passing day
but you'll never know
for it will not show
and you will not look deeper
into this castle keeper
for I have grown numb
in this flower I've become.

you hold my every care,
So gently in your hands,
Soothing, Calming, ever near,
You keep me in Your plans.
Right now I come to You,
In simple trusting prayer,
knowing that your ear is turned,
Because you're always there

Road widening projects | government projects
I was walking on my way home. Until, I passed by here. This location is at Dungon B, near the exit of CPU 7th gate. I remembered that this very same spot was where we ate "batchoy" owned by Manong. Here you could listen to the religious songs played by him. He was really nice. He always gave us free extra "sabaw" even if we haven't asked to. That's why Manong has a lot of customers. His "batchoyan" was small then when he first opened it, hardly could accomodate 10 people. If this is possible then you'd be eating elbow to elbow with the person sitting next to you. He also served "Halo-halo" with yummy ube. I loved it and keep coming back for more. Those memories were just so oozing to the heart.
Now, it's just another sad story. All was left of it was this empty space and I wondered, "Where will I eat "batchoy"? I'm starving." It’s just sad. I never saw Manong ever again.
On my way further on, I saw people from afar looking at something. As I turned my head, I saw this bulldozer. All I can think of is, "Hey, there's the yellow dragon who destroyed my favorite "batchoyan". I joked around about it. Noticing the mother holding her child on her lap (found at the bottom right of the picture), I pondered, "Was this place where their home once stood?".
Then, all came back to me. How about Manong? Where is his whereabouts? Haven't seen him for awhile. Not like before, I would wave back at him everytime I meet him at the roadside. I felt sad.
"Is this another road widening project?", I asked myself.
The road seems fine and vehicles could pass through even before this project. Why do they have to make the road even more wider? Traffic is not a problem here anyway. I was really disappointed but I never understood this project anyway. Maybe it's for the better... or not!
It was not then I really got to be disappointed until I reached this ad or whatever you may call it.
"Dalan Padulong sa Bwas Damlag, Ululupod Naton Amligan" it states.
How could it be for a better future? How could people be a part of it when they were driven away from their homes just for this project? Anyway, traffic wasn't so bad in this part of Iloilo. I really don't get it. Could someone explain the basis for this project? Or maybe I'll just do my research.
I just felt sad for Manong and his batchoyan. It was really great to have a place so we could stop over and have a snack

I just felt sad for Manong and his batchoyan. It was really great to have a place so we could stop over and have a snack

Metaphysics Mingling Minds | Phineas Parkhurst Quimby | Ervin Seale
I bought this book by Ervin Seale entitled Mingling Minds. i just love books that speaks about the mind. It's a metaphysical themed book. If you would ask metaphysician then he will tell you that life is energy.
I first understood that word when I've watched the movie, The Secret. The Secret is one that I would really recommend you to watch. It will change your whole view point in life.
Anyway, Ervin Seale is said to be the "dean" of Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (a New England philosopher, magnetizer, mesmerist, healer, and inventor, who resided in Belfast, Maine, and had an office in Portland, Maine).
He is also a clock and watchmaker by trade and has a great interest on mechanics.
I haven't read the book yet.
The introduction to Mingling Minds just blew me away and I started researching about Quimby and Seale. Just read below what I found out about them...
I'll update you when I finish reading the book.
About Phineas Quimby:
Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (February 16, 1802 – January 16, 1866), was a New England philosopher, magnetizer, mesmerist, healer, and inventor, who resided in Belfast, Maine, and had an office in Portland, Maine. Inventor Quimby was a watch and clockmaker by trade, and held several patents for mechanical devices
Students
Among the students and patients who joined his studies and helped him to commit his teachings to writing were Warren Felt Evans, Annetta Seabury Dresser and Julius Dresser, the founders of New Thought as a named movement. Warren Felt Evans was one of the first individuals who wrote seriously on the teachings of Phineas Quimby.
Though he did not specifically establish a movement under these teachings he did open a practice in Salisbury, Massachusetts. Although the most important gift that Evans left to New Thought was his written work, Evans also took the important step of integrating the philosophies of Swedenborg and Quimby.
Mary Baker Eddy Mary Baker Eddy the founder of Christian Science is often cited as having used Quimby as inspiration for theology.
Yet, most scholars agree that Christian Science does not reflect Quimby's teachings.
For a time Mary Baker Eddy was a patient of Quimby’s and shared his view that disease is rooted in a mental cause. But as her understanding of Christ Jesus’ approach to healing developed over the years, her concept of life and healing grew further and further away from Quimby’s.
Because of its theism, Christian Science differs from the teachings of Quimby.
About Ervin Seale:
Ervin Seale A Veritable "dean" of Quimby studies A major definer of the Quimby message was the gifted writer and speaker Dr. Ervin Seale (1909-1990), who for 32 years addressed a large audience at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall and Lincoln Center in New York City.
The Quimby Memorial Church is an outgrowth of the Quimby Memorial Church and Foundation of New York City. The Church and Foundation were under the direction of Dr. Ervin Seale.
Dr. Seale, a former minister of the Church of the Truth and president of The International New Thought Alliance, dedicated his later years to translating and publishing the writings of Phineas Parkhurst Quimby.
Seale, a veritable "dean" of Quimby studies, presents a readable portrait of Phineas Parkhust Quimby--an icon in the American metaphysical movement and pioneer of the subconscious mind and its connection to all the outcomes and issues of our lives.
Ervin Seale's books on Quimby are essential reading for anyone wanting to understand New Thought.
Quimby was a clockmaker who experimented with mesmerism, clairvoyance, and finally developed the mental healing techniques that later gave birth to Christian Science and then New Thought Christianity.
Two of his patients, Warren Felt Evans and Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science religion, produced some of the first books on the subject. The later founders did not have access to the entire Quimby manuscripts, which we can now benefit from.
Althought the writing is repetitious ( a collection of many short articles) there are gems throughout the pages. It is fascinating to see the development of Quimby's thought, and also to realize that he was a more profound and original thinker than most of the people who were later influenced by him, directly or indirectly. For a good introduction to Quimby, see Ervin Seale's "Mingling Minds".
However, the student who desires to transform his or her own thought, should read Quimby's "Complete Writings." In his excellent book "Learn to Live", Dr. Seale explains the meaning of the parables, the outcome of his classes and lectures over a period of years.
The Bible quotations are from the King James Version.
Dr. Seale is an exceptional communicator and brilliant metaphysician. "You may have a beautiful philosophy, you may have lofty ideals, but what you will do with your philosophy and ideals is dependent entirely upon what you are inside yourself" -- Ervin Seale
World as you see it
Most people give the majority of their thoughts in response to what they are observing. An unpaid rent, a debt, or loan – these are just a few things misleading us to our dreadful lives. Our tribulations came from giving too much attention to it. We often think of what there is, and the result would be, we only see what there is.
Our thoughts become actions. These thoughts are what we are sending off to the world and the world responds to it accordingly to what you are thinking. Just for an example, if you keep on thinking that you don’t have enough money then you see yourself as that person who is not wealthy enough. Well in fact, you are not. It is just the result of what you think you are in the past. So, if you think you are this person who hasn’t a lot of money then you doom yourself and stay in that status. You get contented on the fact that you don’t have a lot of money.
What could you do to turn your current status into something that you want to be?
Imagine yourself that you are in that current situation right now wherein you are living in a mansion, having a great deal of money in your savings account and so on. Seems to be impossible? Then, that is where your thoughts set in. You may think it is impossible but the truth is you haven’t tried it yet. Is this fact right? Then you just have to remove this thought that you can’t do it and turn it into you can do it. Impossible is a vocabulary you just have to forget. As you are reading this, you are already starting to be that person who you always wanted to be. You don’t have to think of your torments over and over again. You just have to expound your thoughts into the things that would make you truly happy.
Just remember, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve.”

There is something good in everything
There was a man saying always: everything is good… whatever is the situation or the event… everything is good
He was a friend of the king and he filled his life with these words
One day, and while they were hunting, an accident happened, and the king lost one of his fingers
Our man said: oh king! That’s a good thing
The king gets angry, and he put him without discussion in jail
Many years later, the king was in a trip, and he gets lost in the forest
On his way back, he was lost and the cannibals kidnapped him
They took him to their village. They placed him near the fire and started dancing
Suddenly, and while desiring to eat his body, one cannibal approached to him
to find what?!
He is not a complete man
he is without finger and they don’t eat incomplete bodies.
He asked his tribe to stop dancing
He is not complete. "Release the prisoner"
While going back to his thrown, crying all the way, he remembered his friend
He convicted him to stay inside the prison, while all along he was right
He goes back to him while saying: forgive me my dear friend, I jailed you all these years for nothing. you were right
The man asked his king: what happened?
The king told him the story…
The man smiled while saying: that’s good you jailed me all these years
The king gets angry again: what was the good in jailing you.Tell me
The man said: If I was not in prison, then I must be with you that time and I have a complete body.
There is something good in everything that is happening. You just have to wait and see.

The Greatest Lesson Ever Learned
There were two long best friends. One was as wealthy as any man could ever imagine, the other was well-off with being a carpenter.
One day, the carpenter had lost his inspiration of making houses. His friend saw the sadness in his eyes and decided to draw an imperfect house. He gave it to the carpenter and challenged him to make this perfect. A perfect house for one man to ease his loneliness.
Instead of feeling better, it had gotten worse. The carpenter thought... He strives living as a carpenter and gets no satisfaction out of it. Now, his friend wants him to build a house to ease loneliness. How could his friend be lonely thus he has every wealth a man could be eager so much. From that moment on, he saw life is so unfair.
The carpenter did make it look perfect but the materials he used was of low quality. He thought his friend could have the dream house he asked from the carpenter but soon enough his friend would experience losing it. "Now, when that time comes, let's see what you could say about loneliness", he thought.
When all was done, finally shown it to his friend. It was so amazing. After awhile the carpenter spoke,"Well my friend, I made this perfect so you would forget about the loneliness you feel."
His friend responded, "That's great my friend. I know I could trust you. We've been friends for a long time and after all of that, I'm giving you this house which you made and you deserve."
A tear fell down from the carpenter's face and he doesn't know what are those for.
In all of our actions, we must do what is right. You may never know you might live in the reputation you have created.

“To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.”
Words when spoken could sometimes be forgotten but when written then you know what happens.
It's one of these nights when I'm just sitting there and staring at point blank walls. I wanted to do something but I don't know what. I felt sadness scraping my veins. It made me drop a tear for nothing.. really.. for nothing. I don't know why I should feel this way.
Maybe, it's these feelings that I keep on bothering myself to pay attention to. This may be the reason why I'm feeling this way. I keep on tramping down my mood for something I don't even know exists. For something I don't know would still be worth of my "wasting" time.
I'm sleepy and i hope im right in saying, All I need to enjoy my time is a little kindness for the kindly kinds. ^_^

The Sinking Island of Love
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, "Who Helped me?"
Knowledge answered, "It was Time,"
"Time? But why did Time help me?", asked Love.
Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom answered,
"Time helped you because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."
You may never know how much you love love until you get there to the finish line.

Sharing My Deepest Thoughts
There comes a time when you must stand alone. You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices. You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.
Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. Be strong enough to do your best in making your life better.
Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by. Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.
At times, life may seem like a dark clustered room. You feel tight and there's nowhere left to run. Then, you are entirely wrong. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. You just have to stick to the idea that in everything you do, you will make it through.
Forget the past because it holds you back. Look for what's up ahead, because that's your future. Remember, a car just needs it's headlights while traveling on a long dark road at night to get to it's final destination. It may never know what is up ahead hence it knows where he is going to.
- and the journey continues on.
