Written inspirations
I will forever be working on becoming that which I am not.
Shane de Luca. December 2024
Mum
Teach me compassion
From guilty inattention
Kindness, Grace and the odd expletive
Love me you effin bastard​
Cigarettes and iced coffee please
Not now, not again, but yesterday
Understand me you prick
Out of the chemical veil
My needs, my love, the ick
Live a little, authentic, and awake
Dance naked, unafraid
​Howl at the moon, unfettered from chain
Freshly born, free from pain
Unabashed, young maid
At last, again and always
To the gift of life, thrice renewed
Ongoing, forever, perpetually say
Your face in the crowd, familiar, all over
Shall we grieve, rejoice
Remembered all the same
For at last I understand
The lesson from you
Not to be tamed
A boy on a beach, spade in hand, bucket to fill
Ocean of a heart, sky in his eyes, grounded carefree
a stranger comes, arms to enfold, intent unknown
fortune reigns, wide smile ensues,
That stranger is me

Il mio cuore e un oceano, vieni nuotare con me !
( My heart is an ocean, come swim with me ! )

That most sacred hug of all.
One's spirit for one's soul, primal, intrinsic
Of the closing of the eyes, an inward dream
Of the shutting down of the mind,
The ears, the mouth, the body
A union of emotions, heart, mind and soul.
Shane de Luca. September 2024
To the joy in grasping the universal concept of unconditional love. Of letting go, and becoming love in the purest form, from within to without, creation to end. To understanding the storytellers and truehearts of our written history.
Shane de Luca. May 2024
Spirituality - A level of soul integrity where your physical and emotional presence, guided by intellect and intuition has no other place to be anything other than balanced, humble and healthy.
Shane de Luca. April 2024
Life - The balance between integrity and humility.
Shane de Luca. May 2024
The trick to finding love in everything is filtering it from the emotions, the ego, trauma and fear.
Shane de Luca. May 2024
Remain in the divine twilight
Conscious of the dark
Whether impending or dissipating
In light's anticipation, reprieve or rebirth
After all, The brighter the sweet light,
It seems, the darker, more bitter the shadow.
A soul's dilemma, a desire for balance
Better to remain in the divine twilight
Shane de Luca. February 2024
The brightest words pale in the lightest silence.
Your mirror's authentic, How's mine?
Shane de Luca. December 2023
My mirror's authentic, How's yours?
Shane de Luca. December 2023
How we can we expect to see the depth of someone, if we are not willing to see the depth of ourselves.
Those who live in love, live in life and life lives in them.
Every second is a miracle, an enchantment !. Be still in those seconds that we are here, be present and come to know the miracle.
Shane de Luca. September 2023
The infinite theatre of emotions
where ego sits
at the back, arms entwined
the cheapest seat around
patient and contrite, awaiting the call
driven by heart, at the whim of all.
Shane de Luca November 2023
Speak to me of the dark
not of the night
But fear, cause and affected
Of existence, of survival
Primal and bonded
Speak to me of spirit,
heartfelt and true
Of light and of soul
Grown tall and new
Shane de Luca. Jamuary 2024
The beloved mirror was nothing more
become naked and afraid, look deeper
into the abyss, the abyss gazed back
there you were, or was it me
bereft of ego, pure and clean
acceptance of all
but for this moment in time
love's abundance recoiled
as the serpent lies dormant
cool and still, patient and true
awaiting lifes next debate
existential and new.
Shane de Luca November 2023
Rumis field
Shall we meet on Rumis field
Cross the millenia divide
Embrace our inner goddess
And our inner gods
Am I enough ?
Can you say same
Not here for an audition
My existence is true
To what our future
Authentic or game
Shane de Luca. November 2024
Chrissys choice
3 weeks left, choice is made
Validated true, patience paid
Connected spirit, euphoric maid
The endless sleep, dead and gone
Meaning of life, a life in meaning
A life in service, dedicated soul
Forever beheld, not forgotten
Her heartsong now raised
A world so cruel, not so I say
Yet the question remains
Courage or not, the writer dismayed
To God and doctorman
Such pain did assuage
To young Chrissy I say
Well met dear lady, on fateful day
Shane de Luca February 2025
Sat she still
Sat she there,
Thought, thought in the air
Lifes veil, conscious stare
Twin fish, funny Tish, butter hair
Calypso calm in summery air
Streaming eyes, Croatian blue
Tempest deep, dreaming sleep
Tranquil pond, ducklike fury
Oh dual fish, chaos dare !
Ocean whipped, waves beware !
Fierce heart, true spirit
Wordlover, truthteller
Grace, poise, wise care
Sat she still, on journey fair
Shane de Luca. January 2025
Dragonflies and Mermaids
Divine, well met
Fine health did let
Pretty face, sweet feet
Loves narrative shown
Mermaid, Siren, Damsel, distress
A lure in guise
Or allure if wise
A voice, a vibe, in sight, in feel
Not known, not yet, yet not unknown
Caves and forests, in all their breadth
Cutters and shutters
Sparks and stealth
A look both ways
All clear to part ways
Spirit now set to soar and sway
Dragonfly up for better days
Shane de Luca. January 2025
Princess Cat
From her tower she peered
Turquoise waters below
Berries at break, red lips aglow
Where was her prince
Why steed so slow
Was it so far from Greece
Gold fleece in tow
Words so few, no map to trace
Courage at hand, he came at pace
Sat she still, all pinoted and heat
On rose coloured wine, chocolate so sweet
Frogs she had kissed, to fear and woe
Little she did know
When would her Prince show
