    About this ebook

    Full Mood is about the myriad moods we face in life. We are not the same but we are closer alike than far apart. The work I present speaks of anguish, pain, hope, love, sensuality, nature and God. My deepest wish is for the reader to take to heart the calm voice of Self. It gently reminds our Spirit: we are never alone.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Clutches at Reality

      The rain is mist

      The air is light

      As I look around, I feel the sound

      Of a heartbeat

      And I know that it is my own

      The meaning I cannot find

      Can’t feel the heat only a dull throb

      The trip I took was oh so bright

      Re-living colors of the past night

      Then I become dry again

      Like a dry, withered leaf

      So hard to breathe

      I feel the rush of colors

      Screaming at me

      Shrill high-pitched screams

      Then the door slams cold in my face

      I have come back from my trip

      It is then that I discover

      That I haven’t been anywhere

      Suddenly I am painfully aware

      That I must stop

      Vowing never again

      But here comes a friend

      It alleviates temporary pain

      Allowing me to see the colors

      Haven’t the strength to turn it down

      Once again the colors are there

      I’m alive so wonderfully alive

      But this life causes death

      The death of my people

      They reach out to me but I cannot grasp

      Fury blinding reason I try again

      Our fingertips meet

      For that time I am whole again

      Then I lose touch reality slips away

      The void reappears

      I ask for help and am denied

      I cannot find life inside

      Ancient one’s call time to go

      I am beseeched to join them

      What keeps me I do not know

      Only know that I am alive

      And that I wish to let go

      To feel the coolness of death’s grasp

      I must have it

      Wait don’t let me destroy

      Let me have a breath

      No let me leave this hell

      Startled

      Two hearts

      engage spades play

      await their first newborn

      black child named the night beautiful

      substantive proof of love

      life slap startled

      she breathes

      My Paradise

      Paradise gleams in your eyes

      To feel your love surround me

      In all I aspire to share with thee

      The beauty living in love indeed

      To see you truly love aglow

      Ne'er doubting destiny's
