Sandalwood

sacred, sweet
a fleeting dream
pure heartwood
brushed my lips

center of time
Earthly beings
scent lingers on
numb fingertips

rare ritual
begin to fly
into chasms
of your deep

aromatic quality
one piece of life
the scent is
yours to keep

priceless smell
fever distilled
sandalwood lofts
into my soul

alpha-santalol
heartwood bleeds
fragrant oil
takes a toll

born of ash

swept by fire
rightly in womb
from cradle
to the grave

spin with heat
core buring hot
with every breath
to save

she’s born of ash
strengh from flame
rising Phoenix
fly for sky

clouds to Earth
and Earth to clouds
each flight has
made her wise

swept by fire
rightly in womb
built to kill
to the crave

spin with heat
core buring up
lit with every
breath to save

Strength

♡this

“I don’t really want to become normal, average, standard. I want merely to gain in strength, in the courage to live out my life more fully, enjoy more, experience more. I want to develop even more original and more unconventional traits.”

•Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

Scholarly Gainz

A while back I cleaned up my desk at home and found these white papers. I printed them like four or five years ago. At that moment, I realized I had implemented and have made sum scholarly gainz.

Gifting Goodness… x3

Three-fold Law or the Law of Return, is universal to all. What we put out into this world, good or bad, we will get back three-fold. A special woman gifted me one baby cactus several months ago as a symbol of a new beginning. Later she brought me more babies planted in rows of three, which I felt was very symbolic. In line with this natural law, I regifted three babies with thoughtfulness and heart. One for my mom, one for sista and one for Gail.♡

The Iron Wolf

~A poem dedicated to a Happy New Year in the gym. I’m ready to burn 2018 down!!~

2018… Don’t fuck with me cuz I’m ready for a dirty, wicked fight.

I’ll stomp… then scream… I won’t back down. Now you are in my sight.

Ready for war… I’m mad with rage and you’re a soldier I command.

Each day… you’ll beg, but I’m in control and I’ll make the final stand.

2018… Don’t fuck with me cuz I’m ready for a nasty, ironclad fight.

I’ll push, then pull. I’m in command. Now you are in my sight.

Dr. P and Rogan Hash it Out

Love this discussion and I agree 100%. It’s between Joe Rogan dropping F bombz with tough love and Dr. Rhonda Patrick, who has a Ph.D. in biomedical science and a B.S. in biochemistry- chemistry. This lady has done extensive research on aging, cancer, and nutrition in addition to the importance of mindfulness, stress reduction, and sleep. The latter being critical to me right now. 

Dr. Patrick’s studies improved her personal battles and her findings have shown that vitamin D “is critical to serotonin production,” and serotonin makes you happy. Less than 30% of Americans get adequate levels of vitamin D.” She says that when people feel “negative or low-energy,” that “it could be as simple as vitamin D.” You can read about that in 5 Foods for a Better Brain.

Conceal and Carry

conceal and carry
love and such
writhing under your skin

pushed away
with softest strength
just like a borrowed sin

striker-fired
aim for the heart
inflamed with exit wounds

his bullets… gold
will kill a queen and
leave territory in ruins

Enduring Destruction

I now understand that it takes spiders and people so much time and attention to detail to build intricate webs of life which can be easily destroyed by one toxic breath. I’ve never been one to partake in the destruction of what I have taken the time to build, but should be prepared to endure destruction regardless.

     “What win I, if I gain the thing I seek? A dream, a breath, a froth of fleeting joy. Who buys a minute’s mirth to wail a week? Or sells eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy??”

~~ William Shakespeare

White Lies

so white… who’d think
it’d break a heart?
……just words
off Satan’s blackened lips

clean and dark
white lies
like stars
burned right down to the tips

so white… who knew
it’d suck up souls?
……just words
born of the beast

dirty and stained
white lies
like mud
a gritty, troubled feast

××Digital composite by Felicia Lujan××

1

 “1 is a doer, a powerful force that produces results and does not allow anything or anyone to limit its potential. The 1 is aggressive, a necessary energy for creating and producing. The 1 is always in the forefront: a spearpoint directing and leading others. The shape of the number 1, just like the shape of all other symbols, reflects its meaning; it walks upright with pride and purpose. Strong, determined, unwavering and with specific goals in mind, the 1 can turn dreams and ideas into reality. It pushes obstacles aside or simply drills right through them.”

Drink the Fire

God built this soul to withstand fire. No burn shall sear the skin.

Forged in flames from Earth to sky. Never injured by your sin.

So treat me bad. Polish your smile. I understand your game.

Good built this soul to withstand fire. He gives me strength to endure pain.
