Overview

My journey on the path to spiritual enlightenment began at a very young age—at the age of one and a half. I was violently thrust into the arena of good and bad, violent and nonviolent. In order to cope with the violence in my life, I connected with my source. Outwardly, I was a happy-go-lucky child, while inwardly, I was trying to rationalize and trying to understand how a person, like my father, who walked the earth, could grow into a monster—because for the most part, we all start out as good human beings. There are some cases where a soul is born with an evil predisposition, but for the most part, people start out good and the environment they are born into plays a large role in shaping the person they ultimately become.

I Long for You

11/04/2015

My heart longs for you,
my soul longs for you,
my body longs for you.
There is a completeness;
that will take place.

When my soul's craving Is complete,
not until that time,
will my soul's craving cease.

What does it mean to long for the one who touches your spirit and touches your soul?

There is an emptiness,
a hollow place in your heart that needs to be filled for the longing to cease the pain.
I long for you,
every day,
and every hour,
I long for you.

My longing is more than just a hope,
more than just a desire,
it is an emotion that,
brings me joy at its completeness,
sorrow as I long for what,
I know is.

I long for you,
my heart aches with desire.
It aches with the Loneliness without you.

I long for you.
I long for you.
I always have,
longed for you.


Nothing

11/04/2015

No nothing, no nothing Will ever stop the feelings I have for you.

Nothing, not death,
Nothing can stop The vibrations I feel from you.

Even after death,
the vibrations exist.
The loved one is,
Still loved.

As long as,
the loved one is still loved,
nothing can stop the vibrations of love.

There is no way,
to diminish love's vibration,
love is a vibration,
which exists on,
many planes.

Love's vibrations can be seen and felt on Many levels.

When a parent looks at a child,
the emotion of pure,
joy and delight create a vibration between the parent and child,
which exists after death.

The beauty that fills the earth,
Flowers, animals and the beauty of buildings,
parks and oceans,
are a love, that can not be diminished.

Our love is strong.
There are bonds,
That no chains,
No separation can Break.

Nothing, no not Anything can break The bonds of love.

Love is a Vibration which Is as essential,
as breathing.
It is life,
It is the core of human beings.

Love is the life force, which continues Even after death,
It is the beauty Of what is most,
enjoyed.

Love, will never be stopped,
No not anything,
Nothing will stop love.
The creator in his Wisdom created a life force within each and everyone of us that can not be stopped.

It is invisible,
but can be felt,
Once felt,
It is a magnetic force that Draws the heart in for Complete fulfillment.

The heart desires More, it can never,
Get enough of The joy of love.
Nothing,
Can prevent the Invisible force of nature (God)
From its joy.

Love can, be seen,
In all the wonders Of this earth.
Love, love, love Nothing can stop love.


Matthew 5-8

8/15/2015

"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God"

Today Ventura College laid to rest an outstanding history professor of over 40 years tenure. He was a good soul who did all he could for students, his community while fighting for Civil Rights.

I just couldn't go I could not witness His still body,
He was so vibrant in my mind.

Mayo was pure in heart,
He had a generous out going giving heart.
Whatever he could,
do to help others is what he did.

I just could not Go, I was one of his student's He taught and gave to his students,
as all teachers should.

I just could not go,
My memories of him The giving vibrant Alive man will remain intact.

I just could not go,
Mayo has enhanced Ventura College on so many occasions By the classes he taught,
While striving for equal rights for all.

I just wanted his Memory to be that of A smiling gregarious teacher,
Who lent a hand to help all who struggle.

It did not matter your color It did not matter your race or gender He supported all who had a need,
The epitome of a pure heart.

Today Mayo's fight Will be carried on by others Enfolded into the arms of The almighty.

There are so many Stars in his crown The almighty says,
"Well done my son,
Well done."


1/16/2016

I miss you very much. I think of you often our encounter has been brief but left a lasting memory. When I think of you. I smile for no apparent reason.

My thoughts are of when I will see you. I am watching
"Sleepless in Seattle" which makes me desire the next time we will meet even more. I am beginning to wonder if, but then I am determined to have faith.

There is so much, I don't know about you, like sports, which ones you like. I think you are into coaching, perhaps football,
baseball, basketball, soccer. Tennis.

I never thought it would come to this, that our feelings would be what they are. I thank God for you we have to fight for us.

Be blessed,
Naola

3/7/2013

You make my heart sing,

You are mine And I am yours,
All I want to do is be with you.
All I want to do is be with you.

Are You Thinking About Me?

9/29/2013

I am close to God Always When there is no reason No cause I think of you The combination of two Is what the father says Let no man put asunder.

Two shall be one No longer two But the one that the Souls create During the symbiotic Joining of mind, body, heart and soul.

Spirits search endlessly for the one who can make them think about The other that Is really not the other but a part of the Whole that split and Became one then became Two, the joining to become One and a part of the whole again.

It is amazing that What appears to be one and solitary, has never really been just one,
has always been A part of the whole.

The souls magnetic attraction May not realize they have Found their other half When they look at the other with their eyes alone

But one touch,
One electrifying stroke Of the hand on the others Arm and the electrical charge Given off makes it Difficult to remain as one With the spiritual knowledge That this is a connection That will never be parted.

The desire to become one Is so strong that the Sprit melds with the other and a love never known Is and was it is just a bloom but it reaches for the energy That fulfills its completeness.

Are you thinking of me?
Is that why I am thinking Of you?
My need for my other half gets more intense as the sands Of time run down.

I wish I could stop Time when we are together,
and feel this connection.
The only way this can be is when the father Breathes is voice into the vibrations That is now and forever Will be one.


Our Souls Meet

03/21/2015

Once again our souls meet in this place at this time.

Once again our souls meet we connect on the astral highway.

Like ships passing in the night dancing, twriling and passing other souls by.

Our souls meet we could have kept traveling but our souls connection through a glance,
a chance encounter.

Our souls stopped we thought to take a brief indulgence our souls meet once again our souls meet.

Our souls density and fusion connect in a way that is not easily forgotten.

Our souls intertwining With one another instead of two there becomes one.

Like the intertwining of fingers, yours and mine become one,
in that brief second we become one for a fleeting moment.
We become inexplicably Touched to the core while the world glances in startled amazement.

The amazement is not theirs alone, it is ours To reflect upon and wonder what happened?

Once again our souls meet, once again we stop and hesitate,
do we dare linger.

Or once again should we travel on the celestial highway,
as joyous,
because once again our souls meet.


Can That Someone Be you?

1/30/2015

Can you be someone From a distant past?
Because thoughts of you take my breath away.

Thoughts of you create a physical energy a mental longing just to be near you again.

Logically this makes no sense to feel so close so soon because thoughts of you set up a longing in me of what could be a longing of remembering perhaps that which once was in our past that is hard to grasp.

Thoughts of you enter my mind once too often,
at times I can barely catch my breath because the longing can be uncomfortable the longing brings images to mind that my soul longs to become more.

Once I saw you I could not forget you.
Months passed and you were filtering, moving in and out of my mind the celestial space that holds you captive in my mind and heart.

Your connection to me though impossible creates a force that plays tag with you on this side stimulating my longing for you even more than you could possibly know.

I long to be touched by you To be held by you kissed by you.
It would stimulate the distant memories I feel I know you.

Thoughts of you make my heart sing so I catch my breath because I feel you Thoughts of you create a knowing and understanding of the you, you once were,
I feel you so deeply it tears at my heart it tears at my spirit it tears at my soul.

When I see you I can barely look at you when I see you thoughts of you and what we once were tear at my mind.
I can barely look at you for fear you will discover the secrets your presence brings to bare.

Thoughts of you and Something in the past we Could have shared It is immobilizing but my Heart and mind ask if it could be?
Is our secret mystery held in the distant past?

Why do thoughts of you make my toes curl?
Brings a smile to my Lips, and the connection I feel to you brings a joy So deep and satisfying It is hard to fathom,
Why?


We Touched

6/13/2017

It was an accident but not touch is more than a touch.

Because if it were not would you give it more than a moments pause.

I paused I wondered if it would ever take place,
spontaneous, brief and quick.

It was the first touch,
not to be forgotten the first touch,
I wonder,
did he give it a pause?

I wonder if he has already forgotten that moment,
that brief interlude,
maybe, but maybe not.

I think on it and a smile radiates from my heart.

You can't say it was accidental but a moment where in spontaneity our hands, no fingers caught hold for one brief moment.

I thought, we touched it was so spontaneous it was so natural,
as if we had been friends for a while, and afterwards I thought, with a smile we touched.

We touched in that moment that I needed him to reassure me we touched in that moment while he assured me we touched.

It was brief But the moments that follow will last a life time because we touched.


You Are My Angel

01/01/2014

I believe in you,
You have stood by me For a time

You have sent Those to help and care For me I believe in you.

You are the unknown Angel that only I know That it is you.

You help me when you Are angry with me Your love for me Knows no physical limitations,
As does mine for you.

I believe in you I have faith in you I love you today and tomorrow In addition tomorrows, tomorrow.

You are the Angel in My life.
You watch over me And protect me From that which would Do harm.

The Angel of my life You know what takes Place in my life.
I trust you You are my Angel.

You are my Angel You are my Angel You take care of me What can I say?

How do I thank my Angel?
The depth and magnitude of My gratitude shine A dim light to the depth of my thanks.

You are my angel You are my angel And I love you so.


Skies Are Blue

And Baby I Love You

12/31/2013

The seas are blue And baby I love you.

You are the epitome Of what I want in a man But sadly You are too far On a distant horizon

I love so many things About you and the way You love others too.

You are red and Daffodils are white The skies are cloudy But what really matters is that I love you.

Love is interesting You try to place it on another But the soul's electricity Must ignite the others.

I love you but You are too far And all I can do is Dream of you.

The seas are blue And the skies are blue But baby I still love you.

When I think of you I feel your presence Although you are not here And at times I know that you feel me too For our love is deep and compromising.

The knowledge that No matter the circumstance We love each other Deeply and completely.

This knowledge is spiritual And relayed by the Omnipotent,
That only we know what we know About our love.

How this happened It does not matter The deep and searing love I feel for you, you may never know Because you will never Get this love letter.

I tell myself to move on And find another It is almost impossible to do.

So sweetheart if I should Pass before you I hope this poem finds you,
And you will realize that I loved you totally and Completely As one in love should do.

The Skies are blue Seas are blue And baby, I Love you.


The One I Need

1/19/2014

The man I need showers me with millions of little kisses from my head to my feet.

The one I need Caresses my shoulders with the warmth of his hands and his mouth.

His tongue is gentle and rough at the same time as he ignites the fires of my desire underneath.

He is strong and gentle at the same time.
His touch is a warm breeze as a humid summer night.

His touch stirs the passions that lay dormant inside of me.
It is like the fire that strokes the powder keg which is explosive.

His touch ignites all that desire that lays dormant inside of me.

His touch quickens my very soul,
the strokes of his hands and tongue drive me to a passion that is like a delirious frenzy that drives me to the height of ecstasy and pleasure.

I want him to stop before I reach the break but I don't want him to continue but I do need him to continue.

I am delirious with his touch.
I am filled in my heart with emotion that touches my soul and reaches the regions that can only be satisfied with his entirety.

It makes me move from side to side Up and down in and out.
Ignited by the passion of his kisses and his tongue.

I want. I need him to stop but I don't I want this delirium to last forever if it can.

But that is not possible it is only a moment in time when the two become one our souls touch and join because of the passion and ecstasy ignited by his kiss and his touch.

When two become one the physical ignites the spiritual and the spiritual ignites the physical because it is so deep it is difficult to come up for air, because it continues to explore and deepen the passion it began.

The one I need does this for me and I for him.
One look can start it one look and the desire for him to touch my soul and spirit is there.

The one I need needs me too.
He knows I am here but too afraid of such a deep blissful passion.

The one I need needs me too,
The one I need needs me too.


It is a Mystery to Me

09/25/2013

It is a mystery To me why I love you It is much too soon To feel this way for you

It is a mystery to me Why I feel this way for you It is a puzzle that I cannot piece together

It is a mystery to me Why I feel this love for you It is much too soon To feel these emotions It is a puzzle that Only God above can solve

It is a mystery to me Why I keep thinking about you Why thoughts of our last Moments together Are still vivid on my mind Making love to you Is all that it is supposed to be

It is a mystery to me Why I long to kiss you And be kissed by you I can still feel your Lips on me and the searing Pleasure your lips Bring to mine

It is a mystery to me How our paths crossed Not once, but twice And that knowledge makes Me think that God with His omnipotent power was Moving us closer and closer Through time and space

It is a mystery to me How God created the universe And in this universe, through its mass of time and space Two souls can find its other half

God moves, creates and shapes That which we see That which we are And that which we will be

We search our entire Lives for the completeness That we feel with our Other half, the satisfaction We find knows no bounds

For time and space are limitless To these souls who have Been brought together

It is a mystery to me The love that we share That knows no bounds Of time and space Our love knows no bounds Our love knows no bounds It is a mystery to me It is a mystery to me ...
