Battle: Lines

Wondering what is what. Finding you are motivated by many ideas and do not know which to first tackle. So I conspire against my imaginary obstacles. I made them my enemies and sought a way of getting by them without fighting them. How do I battle this imaginary lines that hold me hostage from my fulfillment, without violence? How do I go as far as I've gone to stop at the line? Should I not go beyond? We battle with lines daily, how do we know which are to be stepped over and those that we must stay within?

Swinging like we have no density
you are clear
against the background
of everyone else moving
blur
the lights come and go
but the way your hand and mine touch
in these minuscule minutes
have my heart roaring
to hold you closer

Swinging right and left
to the sound of your
heartbeat
our feet stumping the drums
at the same time
lovemaking to the music
in the nude
without touching

Swinging your body
closer and further from mine
feeling your hand
trust my shoulders
molding this perceived closeness
that only strangers could share

you are looking into me
taking me into the blue field
snowing white petals
pulling me
with your tightly held grip
chasing the heart shaped kite
and I know
I'm almost sure
I'm suppose to give you
this gentle peck
from my lips to yours
the drums increasing in speed
I can feel your heart beat
through your warm finger tips
increasing in sound
and I start to lean...

If I was just sure today was the day as I stare at the heart with uneasiness 
If I only understand the feeling that guides me then
then I could have understood the road ahead
If only I was strong enough to remove illusions
then I would have seen you clear
and If only I was just a little closer
I could have reached to you my hand
If only is all I have
so please don't go
find it in your heart to stay
and we won't have to had you to the count
I know the fear of loud sounds
is all that is keeping you from us
but if you listen to the sound of our hearts
you'll know, there is nothing to fear

Battles of Men

They are waging war
against me
my heart
my soul
my mind

I did not
trespass
nor did I
go
where I
did not
belong

they spell
hate
on my property
on every land
I call
my home

they spilled war
against my skin
threw war
against my tongue
they tried to
assassinate my character

they drew war
on my beliefs
tried to kill
my religion
they are against
every thing
I think

so many battles
to fight
how does one
know
where to begin
does one need
to loose all wars
and battles
so that one
can win life?

The purpose is to live
       -
  having a purpose
  is to be free
       -
   of gates
   the quran/ koran
   the bible
       -
    once an open book
    to break away chains
       -
     from our gates
     now the chain
     to the hidden pages
       - - -
         question

         the hidden faces

         in our imaginary living

        do you see yourself?

You...

I want to be you
for I am not good at being myself
I want to trust you
because I'm too scared to trust myself
I want to fall into a pool of water
and be pulled by currents
and surrender to living
take back the fear of anything
I want to be you
