I float among the winds of the universe
A free spirited soul, alone in thought
Not having to please anything here
An island of secluded masterpieces

Darkness, that has so much light
Which make blinded thoughts see
The intense spiritual fire
Burning deep inside

Ramblings of pure thinking
Clinging to abstractions
Unparalleled textures needing fulfillment
Light levitating on paths of Yoga trances
Thrusting beyond shackled restrictions

Hidden doors have evaporated
Releasing mists of pent up horrors
Strapped down by heavy baggage
In myths of self induced hysteria

Who cares of minor inaccuracies
When the majority shines flawless
In a crystal gem of perfection
The inner space of extreme tranquility

Open the floodgates
Release the self torment
Let pent up exhaustion escape
Surreal escapism
In being yourself

The magnets of soul searching flights
Has pushed boundaries way beyond
Self worth being questioned
Within the exclusive club of self abuse

Thought of others who imprison
By always being critical
Have evaporated into
Who cares

The heck with them
It is your world to please
Do what you spirit wants
Have no binding strings

Lonely paths will always exist
In the demons of others
Who always try to inflict pain
But the pain is mine to crush
In creative counter flows
