so many things left unsaid
as if hidden under an invisible carpet
where we all went, inadvertently
and I kept all our secrets spare
from the world’s greatest affairs
that will catch up with us in the end
in a different form and shape
holding on to old pains
when we all know that’s not the way
decimated by diseases of all kinds
physical, mental, and combined
we all know we are one team
just left unsaid, revealed
antagonistic attitude from all of us
misunderstood, pushed off the deck
bearing the lack of good intentions in mind
what was all this for?
we only have one life
so, what if we drown
in this chaotic, unpredictable flow?
what if we helped each other out
be on opposite sides
unable to return
to the original calm state of mind?

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here, Mescaline, which may very well be the point. The dichotomies & tensions represented here, especially being all on one team, but opposite sides, pushing off the boat, drowning in uncertain currents--it all feels like how we are in real life, uncertain of anything, emotions & thoughts going all over the place, often without taking so much as a breath, searching for that place where we can be calm, home, never quite being able to find it. Yeah, I could spend a long time with this, Mescaline, every five minutes deciding it means something different than what I thought before. Well done.
