The Murder of a Broken Heart
Empty words.
Words repeated
To so many others.
Not unique to me.
Though I believed
They were.
The on and off.
The I love you
I don’t.
The fantastical nights.
The lonely ones.
Tears shed
Over your indifference.
The murder of
A broken heart.
You hurt me.

I keep adding on
the words go against the hours
they compete with each other.
Time and attention
something we’ve always sworn
we’d give one another

Daily Dose for the Soul
The power of intention is paradoxically experienced through what you’re willing to give to others. Intention is a filed of energy, which is emanating in infinite supply. What can you give if you don’t have money to give? Swami Sivananda’s advice:
The best thing to give
Your enemy is forgiveness
to an opponent, tolerance;
to a friend, your heart;
to your child, a good example;
to your father, deference;
to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you;
to your self; respect;
to all men, charity.
Make giving a way of life. It is, after all, what Source and nature do eternal. Trees bend down low with ripened fruits; clouds hang down with gentle rain; noble men bow graciously. This is the way of generous things.
