Winter warm
By Marivel Guzman
There was a time, when I wondered in the timeless silence of solitude, when my books and my pen were my companions, my life was dull, bored and sad,
I was alone,
There was a time, when I flew in all the directions without compass, where the winds of the East were stronger than the West, I wanted to come back, but there was no place to call home, I felt alone,
I was lost.
There was a time, when “meaning” lost its true sense, where living was a painful task, eating was not a choice, writing was my secret refuge, and sleeping my escape, but even in my dreams I felt lost,
I was exhausted.
There was a time,
when the air was hard to breath, my chest refused to expand, my eyelids weighted a ton, and my heart was cold as ice, living seemed to waste my time, to exhausted to be tired,
I was sad
There was a time,
when spring lost its colors, the birds chirped no more, the swelling buds collapsed, the seeds refused to germinate, my garden lost its essence with no birds or butterflies to feed,
I was dying
Time kept running out of my timeline, my space become confined, and it felt small to breath or move, but with courage, I stretched my might, and survived the loneliness of my sleepless nights.
I’m living again
I stepped out from the edge of death, and saw a world full of life, I amazed myself with wonders, I saw mountains blooming with majestic colors, I waved goodbyes to birds migrating North and South, and my garden is again an Eden to the bees, the insects and the butterflies, I breathe deep and calm, refreshing cool air awakes my conscience to receive a welcoming Winter warm.
I’m fresh like a morning rose, and my heart is joyful once again. It reminds me with its loyal beats, that I was never lonely, lost, or sad, it was always there for me, to comfort me with its warming pumps. But “winter warm” it’s my companion, it’s light that shines on my journey, it’s an anchor to keep me straight, to keep me dreaming for more tomorrows to come, and a paradise and refugee in case I need to escape.

When I grow up
By Marivel Guzman
When I grow up, I want to be like you
seeing the world pass through me,
growing roots deep into the sky
I need to learn how to fly.
When I grow up, I want to be like you
I want to give light and warm,
and grow roots on Mother Earth
I’m starting to warm up.
When I grow up, I want to be like you
quenching thirsty minds
planting seeds in little souls
my ignorance is starting to wear out.
When I grow up, I want to be like you
running rivers to the oceans
flooding fertile lands
A mother I become.
When I grow up, I want to be like you
I’m selfish, greedy, and honestly naive
But I’m still young with a thousand places to go
with a million goals to achieve
I’m not even a hundred and 300 years to live.
With the wind, the sun, little
Knowledge, patience, and some time, I’m sure to achieve it all
Dear COVID-19, the lockdown–Love Affair with death.
Originally posted on April 21, 2020
I don’t love you as my friends and followers do. Unlike them, I’m not digging in Google and Facebook for the number of deaths being announced every minute.
I’m not interested in their love affair with death.
They love the rush of adrenalina, when the COVID-19’s meter reaches the maximum punch of the day.
They search day and night in Google, looking for the nurse, taxi driver, maid, plumber, doctor, neighbor, friend of a friend, the niece of their uncle’s ex-wife’s son in-law, who MSM said died from #COVID19.
Your lover’s opinions are as interesting as mine
But my data analysis is more valuable than your followers’ opinions, in my opinion of course.
Not even in my wildest dream I imagined, that the coronavirus could destroy in 3 months the free thinkers’s path.
Not even all Adelson’s millions deterred us in the not too distance past.
Our resolve with the oppressed in Palestine was stronger than the mainstream media charged headlines.
Even the billions of dollars invested on war couldn’t stop our efforts, to at least try to stop it, ignoring all the govs and MSM’s spin.
But in a few months, the fear of death crept into the subconscious of your followers. They stopped their daily routine, and voluntarily went into a home exile.
They left the warm conversation with their family and friends in the cafeteria, and exchanged it for a promised government stimulus check.
They switched their modus operandi from social issues and protests, to a energized- browsing of everything with #COVID19’s news.
Your lovers are so invested in your defense that happily write on their walls, “X, Y, Z who didn’t believe in the coronavirus died today (happy face).”
With an insatiable zeal, they dedicate themselves to publish, what they most repudiated and branded as insolent and incredible: The mainstream news.
My friends, brothers, sisters, colleagues and some family as well, all become the voluntary non-compensated force that patrol Facebook for “dissenters.” “If you believe the #COVID19 is a hoax, please delete me or unfollow me, one of your lovers said to me.
Dear COVID-19, I don’t love you, as I told you before, and I stand my ground against you, and your army of fear-vaccinated-souls (less)
I would rather give advice for the flu. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
Take care of your elders. They are weak, fragile, and prone to diseases and falls. Fight the government mandate to isolation, which is a sentence to let them die alone
Rest in Peace, yellow vests, Hong Kong’s protesters, Amazon and water protectors, beggars, homeless, elderly, the poor, pensions, free expression, and friendships.

My other half – Akashma poetry

My Other Half
Where were you love?
I knew you’d come!
I heard your little soft steps next to my bed,
I felt your fairy wings
dancing to the tune of my breathless hope
I sensed you getting ready for the dance of love. I saw you in the sparkles of the rain, I saw you halo curling in the mist.
I know was you who touched my shoulder in the night, right when I was feeling all broken down.
I knew you’d come, It is you
who saved me from the darkest dream.
Where were you love?
I smell the aroma of your shadow
breathing next to me.
I knew you’d be, it was you
courting my silhouette
inhaling every drop of my sleep.
Where were you love?
I needed your warm presence next to me,
I wanted to hear the whispers of your voice.
I missed your presence in my life.
I tried to forge in other hopes,
I tried to call in other names,
but love is not a costume dress that I can change.
Where are you love?
I need you tonight,
the piercing shout of my pain
will keep me awake if you don’t come,
your absence cut right through my soul.
Where are you love?
I need to embrace your name again,
I want to snuggle up
against your heart next to mine.
I know you come,
I know you miss my voice touching your ear.
I know your life is half without my touch,
I knew you’d come,
I’m feeling warm again tonight. ♥
Love is not love,
if it does not have its other half.

The Mist
The Mist
I feel myself as part of the air, the water, the mountain, the tree, the earth, the fire and the mist.
The abstract sensation of not being in a solid state but ether—that is, a ‘something’ that exists everywhere like the Akash that surrounds us all in a phrase, “From above so is bellow”.
This is a reflection of my altered essence that feels like being everywhere; touched but touching, admired but admiring, but also a transparent and diluted substance molded by the strokes of pain that follows everything I touch, everything that I dream.
But, there is also a feeling of being part of the ‘nowhere’, where you don’t see me, but you feel me; like the air. You feel me through my emotions, passions and pains. Everything that transpire from my essence is me. It’s my soul ‘talking’.
But at the end, I’m the mist of my conquered ideals. I have to surrender to justice and equality, and as the mist, I’ll disappear with white and black tones of grainy rebellion. My soul is boiling with tremores of love for humanity, for earth, for truth, justice and peace.
I must dissipate! ❤️

Breath the rainbow of life
Dedicated to Susanita Michelle Coccinella
Breath the Rainbow of life Art by Marivel Guzman
Breath the Rainbow of Life
As the rainbow bleeds its colors down to me,
magical strokes
arouse the other me,
life starts to grow
emotions and sensations
that were lost in the darkness
boredom of neglect and disaffection.
as pain recedes slightly,
on every inch of life’s color regained:
the red is velvet wrapped by soft rosy aroma,
the purple is lavender of sensations that surrounds,
every infinite atom of my soul.
My lungs are not just organs of existence,
they become the source of hope,
Inhaling, expanding,
inflicting life to warm my blood that races to meet a redder heart,
more beautiful, free of anguish and pain,
free to love again.
.
I breathe the air to inhale the hope to born again..
to learn that life is meaningless without love,
I born again to love love
to love it with the passion and the colors
of the rainbow.
Let me, as I feel free,
let me be a little crazy, artistic and poetic,
don’t judge me world for my soul is free,
let me love the way I love,
love my colors like the the rainbow love the sky that let it be.

Invisible Revolution – Welcome To Our World
Posted by Marivel Guzman
INVISIBLE REVOLUTION
This sensation of fullness
It is taking over your mind
It is guiding you to fight
On the surface of our world right now
There is war, violence, and craziness
And things may seem dark.
But calmly and quietly
At the same time
Something is happening underground.
Something Invisible is crawling
Dispersing and taking over, It’s
Growing like a Vine
An inner revolution is taking place
And certain individuals
Are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution
From the inside out
From the ground up.
This is a global co-operation
That has sleeper cells in every nation.
It is a planetary Spiritual Conspiracy.
You won’t likely see us on T.V.
You won’t read about us in the newspaper.
You won’t hear from us on the radio.
We don’t seek glory.
We don’t wear any uniform.
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles.
We are in every country and culture of the world
In cities big and small, mountains and valleys
In farms and villages, tribes and remote islands.
Most of us work anonymously
Seeking not recognition of name
But profound transformation of life.
Working quietly behind the scenes
You could pass by one of us on the street
And not even notice.
We go undercover
Not concerned for who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done.
Many of us may seem to have normal jobs.
But behind the external storefront
Is where the deeper work takes a place.
With the individual and collective power
Of our minds and hearts
We spread passion, knowledge, and joy to all.
Some call us the Conscious Army
As together
We co-create a new world.
Our orders come from the Spiritual Intelligence Agency
Instructing us to drop soft, secret love bombs
when no one is looking.
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Smiles ~ Kind words
Movies ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Websites
Social activism ~ Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness…
We each express ourselves
In our own unique ways
With our own unique gifts and talents.
“Be the change you want to see in the world”
That is the motto that fills our hearts.
We know this is the path to profound transformation.
We know that quietly and humbly
Individually and collectively
We have the power of all the oceans combined.
At first glance our work is not even visible.
It is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains.
And yet with our combined efforts
Entire tectonic plates
Are being shaped and moved for centuries to come.
Love is the religion we come to share
And you don’t need to be highly educated
Or have exceptional knowledge to understand it.
Love arises from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse
Of all living beings.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Nobody else can do it for you.
Yet don’t forget, we are all here supporting you.
We are now recruiting.
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
We are the legion of the willing
Saving Our World
It is a Primer Task
For in this spiritual conspiracy
All are welcome, and all are loved.
The door is always open.
