Have you ever heard of the term,
‘You have to burn some bridges to make some’?
Well, imagine your life is like a game.
I came into existence, naked yet clothedwith innocence and unaware,bathed with my mother’s blood,old folks heard me cry and were so glad.I came not into this unknown sphere by my own will
you know when the mirror fogs up after you shower, that's like your life as it slowly fades away and you start seeing clearly it's like most of the moments that you lived disappear into the fog, and when it clears up and you start realiz
I'm sitting on the tongue of a wild beast--
The red rasp stained like concrete when children scape their knees.
I can't fall. I know I can't fall again,
because I'm terrified to see the bones underneath--
Pondering Caterpillars
Not ordinary small, fuzzy green ones
But big tigers with eyes all over
HOW DO YOU PAINT THE TWILIGHT
How do you paint the twilight
The time between the day and night
The dark surround of diminishing light
“Are you going to eat me”, the koi asked the cormorant?
“No, I don’t have any plans to eat you”, said the cormorant.
The blue of the sky is not in a box of crayons.
The color of the deep ocean does not have a name.
Dawn meet the light, and the twillight the moonall are mirageson labyrinth of mind,ever since time waking.Do you think that our existencemakes any differenceto this vast universe?
After time,people will say,in those years, we lost the meaning of we,we lost the sense of universalityfound ourselves prisoners into ego,in a long soliloquyand the infinite life reduced to i,
When one door opens, another closes.this is the eternity's circle,mistakes belongs to us, but not all, the fate mapped out for us to follow,but does not define our choices, beings of necessity and randomness,
All humans on earth are one.We descend from the same family of common ancestors.We are, in a quite literal sense, siblings,and like siblings we depend on each other's loveand care and responsibility.
Listen,if stars are still lit it means there is someone who needs them.It means someone wants to love,Why then do we feel so much pain and heaviness of heart?are we waiting for something, regretting anything?
Why does everything have to mean anything?
Because everything we hold dear
Is fabricated and empty.
I’m a spec who lives on a sphere.
Narrow hallways in morning
Where the sun wont come through
I laid cramped on the floor through the night, painted blue
Early sky with no warmth
Like a push, but not forth
Dragged behind my shortcomings
Sculpted hammer of divinity comes down, and
My skull is cracked and leaking
Adorned by a veil of mourning glories in full bloom
Laced, tethered stems joining at the base
Soft gentle petals hugging
The bloods of disdain became apparent over time
I'd have trekked a million hells only to say it wasn't mine
And the rough terrain was rocky and ill structured like we;
Found lost, exposed, and alone each time
Drawing out my pains in Thursday morning when I've found my world
Crashed and still bleeding, but I'm alright, I'm unscathed
Or rather, my world has found me
Chosen me today
I might be wrong in thinking
That I navigate with lithe and agility through unfamiliar dark rooms
Dark wombs
Even darker tombs sinking further down to a heated core, a hellish home
My body, at last.
We have sprinted on our paws from silver fields into the ashen corridors of Office-Max How early we set our alarms, how grown up,who don the coats of men, despite the heat, who drive on four wheels down Park Avenue pasts the willing lemonad
Did we design the seed?
The little grain of Hope.
Did we comand to grow?
The little sprout of Faith.
Did we create the Light?
The ray that makes it grow.
Did we command the rains?
We scorn violence, yet indulge in violent means. We look for peace in all the wrong places. We walk on clouds, call them thorns. We are lucky yet we starve. Starve for more, whether it be something we have already. We walk among the rest of the wo
With open eyes
Just a little thought in another place.It changes the entire structure immediately!
Just a little word in another spot.It changes the whole purpose of content!
Glorified self praise
I like to read my own words,they are of a "special sort"!
Everything else comes only from the outside!From there comes the biggest nonsense!
Sometimes up, sometimes down
I ask myself; Who i really am.I ask myself; after the true sense.
I feel power; and much more!And yet I feel so often empty.
Fight for freedom
I only see virtual pictures ...And on all corners only signs!
Sitting in a noble cage.Digitally scratching the days.
Money, money and money
Where to go with all my money?How much does the whole world cost me?
I am in a material delusion.My mind is beautifully tame.
The new way
The direction seems determined.Nothing takes my courage anymore.
Sometimes I get stuck and wait,on a mild fateful gift.
The real criminal
A gangster - Deep in the heart,Deep inside of him is only pain.
The system - so full of contradictions.Only a moment before the collapse.
Thought lesson
Open the eyes to see.Stretch the legs to stand.
Red, yellow, green - totally the same,poor thoughts - rich thoughts!
Confused frequencies
My being - so beset and glum.A frequent wave is shifting my mind!
The control from the outside, so strong.The own will - buried in the coffin.
The divine gift
I always give you only plain view.I always show you only truth!
Good and evil - all without judgment,The truth knocks - she hurries.
The easy life
I do not need much for life!Because basically it's just a game!
Who know the rules and how to bend them a little,knows how to win in this game!
Everything foolish?
Who feels the words and listen to the meaning,is justly outraged by this world!
Selfish, deaf and also dumb,the whole humanity is running around!
Life "under control"
The calm and the strength,holds "that" which creates everything.
The big and the little,it comes of its own!
Change of the eras
Why do I do this and that?Why am I acting this way and not otherwise?
Do I always have the free choice?Or do I really have the agony each time?
The chemistry of the sky
The sky was dark blue any times!I still remember exactly!
Such a deep and fulfilling blue!I still remember exactly!
The "small" life
Ants I have admired abound,when I was young.
Clouds I have admired abound,when I was young.
Birds I have admired abound,when I was young.
At the beginning there was...
I feel it in my stomach,others feel it too!
A state of happiness.Time - an endless piece.
From the beginning to the end
At the beginning was the love.At the end in there was life.
At the beginning was the day.At the end in there was time.
At the end comes the strength
The end is slowly approaching,That's what a faithful scout told me.
Now it suddenly becomes obvious to me;It is coming suspiciously close to me.
A fork far from all understanding
Like a blossom-white cloud on the horizon that nobody notices...... That's how many people live their time.
Path of Truth
No one can follow the true path.Everyone will avoid this tough path.
But if one is very old and wise.Then one understands the meaning of the long journey.
Paths of love
See over there. She wakes up.She have slept and rested for a long time.
Now she is truly strong and pure,so the evil end will be very soon.
A world so beautiful
The green meadow blossoms to new life.The empty sky forms his artworks.My spirit, it lives. My heart, it trembles.
Words in full depth...
A few words... They work miracles,They're like tinder for my mind.
A few sentences... with beautiful words,And my heart wants to hoard all love.
Dancing...
I feel the rhythm,I feel every bass vibrate.My head is completely free,All concerns are far away.
Change of feelings
I'm gonna open up to the big whole,I don't wanna keep hiding.
I opened up and freed myself,and had suffered a lot of misery.
Confused...
What comes when something else goes?What's going on if something else is coming?
What passed when something new happens?What happens when something new passed?
A wish for you
I wish you from the heart;No suffering and no pain.
No sorrow and no misery,and not pleading for happiness.
A new star on heaven's tent
You left us very early.Many still can not believe it.
You went to another place.Without saying goodbye ... just gone.
Wordless Love
She's more than a simple word.She is more than a beautiful feeling.She is more than an exciting experience.
In the spirit
Words that enchant.Ideas that delight.Feelings that seduce.
It is so clear and close.Thoughts must travel.Love must be free.
Sometimes I wish...
... I would be a leaf in the wind.And haste from branch to branch.
... I would be a bird in the air,and scatter my scent everywhere.
The true power
My mind is now pure and clear.As beautiful as it has not been for a long time.It is powerful and strongly matured.Almost unbending and stiff.
Love awakens!
Can you feel her?She is invincible and powerful.Evolved she is flourishing magnificently.
Everyone can see her radiate.Everyone will understand it soon.
The biggest whore of all
I love to play with her.It's pure fun to abuse her.
Everyone wants to own and covet her,but only a few will really feel her.
Freedom of thoughts
All my thoughts and my will are free now.The compulsion and urge for success is now over.
There the last veil is also falling,and reveals the true vultures.
Confused Ghost
Words which open doors.Thoughts which move mountains.Emotions which move worlds.
Love
My true love is out out there somewhere,I'd love to rush to her today!
I want to tell her everything, describing how I feel,that her smile may flush all the bad out of me.
Fantastic voyage
Maturing spirit.Flowering landscape.Sun rays on my skin.
New but old.Old yet new.
Infinity in transience.Ephemeral infinity?
Everywhere lies!
Detecting a lie is difficult for the most people.For they no longer know the truth of our world.
Now or never...
Just a whiff, and then it's time.Just a blink of an eye and it's there.The certain moment, this particular moment,The one you've seen coming for a long time.
Timeless tones
Words without love, without sound,Strokes along my ear.
Meaningless, playful sounds,preached to me of incredible beauty.
Money is reigning!
All the false teachings of this world,teach you; the most important thing is money.
Everybody has understood itnot just who did not find it yet.
Creative power of thoughts
Wherever I go, there is no darkness.Because I create the light!
Wherever I go, there is no pain.Because I create happiness!
The Phoenix rises up
He rises from the old ashes.His wings are strong and broad,His gaze is undimmed and sharp.Imposingly he is rising into the air.
All Around Teaching
Last night I was in paradise.I felt so good, not bad at all.Then I saw a bright light,I walked towards it, but I didn't touch it.
I'll be waiting!
Together we hike on many paths,towards true happiness and enlightenment.Without seeing the goal in front of our eyes,we'll try to comprehend it.
Roulette of life
You are in me and I am in you!And just together we create the "here".
Everything together results in the whole,It ripens and thrives, from seed to plant.
The loneliness in the communality
Today we are leaving together,It goes in the direction of heaven, up and up.
Ode to loneliness
Oh my faithful friend where we stand today.I have see it coming for a long time!
With you by my hand,I moved all over the country.
The leading
The journey begins with the first step.Go, I will accompany you a bit.I'll show you the right way,it leads along a narrow footbridge.
Carousel of Madness
Everything familiar repeats itself.Old things are just new polarized.
Just a few see the big lie.Even less understand it.
The way
The road is dark and uneven,but I feel a pleasant warmth.I feel the warmth of a light from afar.I follow this warmth, I follow her far beyond...
My friend
Only with one in a lifetime I would build shit.Only to this one I would entrust everything!
Here and now
A day may affect the week.But the week also the day.
An hour can create your day.But the day also the hour.
Materialism of heaven
After many years I am finally ready.I feel; my time is coming now.Nothing can hold me here any longer,nothing will split my mind again.
The path to destination
To know no path does not mean to search no destination.
Finding a path does not mean "having no destination".
Young souls...
Young in spirit, mature in body.The behavior, it is still stiff.
Unreasonable and also stubborn,it's going through a tough cure.
Always again
A new day, he is born.The last one, I have lost now.In the beginning he is full of hope and so wonderful.Until he's whispering to me; today, it will not be so great.
Insight
Honesty and love bring you true happiness,Did you understand it, there is no way back!
Like all flowers
Like all blooming flowers in spring,I also like to flourish at this time.
But this year I will bloom more.I will unfold my whole splendor.
The butterfly in the wind
I open my eyes but I do not see anything.Everything is so dark, not a hint of a light!
A mystical riddle
like a Buddhist koan,
60s psychedelics
or just a song
that's moving-
melodious.
Something I seek-
that, which I've found
the essence,
the gist
of poetry itself.
The "real dream"
I want to live all my dreams!I want to take and give.
It's a wise and mature spirit,which shows me the way towards purpose.
Theological questions
lie jumbled in my mind,
one in particular,
that is quite perplexing.
Can the tears of humankind
caused by our suffering
wash clean sin's awful stain?
As for me, I believe
Space-
truly the final frontier
it is limitless
and it's expanse
unreachable, unmeasurable, unknowable...
Still,
we are a curious species,
full of questions
wanting to understand,
Unequivocal contentedness.
A trusty oak never fails to satisfy the search
for philosophical soundness within one's soul.
Branches so perfectly placed the seem to
represent a geometric phenomenon.
The inhalation after the sprint.
The rain after the drought.
The forgiveness after the wrong.
The human capacity to love
and to choose love
and to choose love
and to choose love
amidst despair,
Every event of life is an act of realization. It is the life of that particular soul to wake up and feel what it is to be human.
U wouldn't see the light if u weren't aware of the dark.
I often watch trees, because I actually like them
I may love them really, but regardless
I find them fascinating:
Standing upright like power poles
or bent over like blades of grass in wind
I’ve considered putting my hair
Into a ponytail when I’m sleeping
Because my hair not soft against my
Cheek and gets in my eyes and is
Hot. I’ve also considered getting
Another better-paying job. Both
As soon as the rosy-lining of sun appeared,
The children sprang from their homes and met at the center.
Their soiled feet pounded the stone pathways, alerting the
The phantasm of collectiveness
We seem to surrender when the battle was almost won,
We seem to celebrate when the battle is lost,
Where does my soul touch my body? When I’m hurt why do I cry?
What does it mean to be human? Do we even catch God’s eye?
Our time on earth is short; we’re born, we live, we die.

I Know that I know nothing and nothing surely knows me
There for I and nothing are a commonality
I know that I'm a dreamer of life and what I see
So is life the dream or the dream the life I see
I sat like a pigeon with a brain,
Curiously wondering about visuals that retain,
I spoke no words nor committed deeds;
It was all meaningless,
Blazing, the brazen orb frenzied with greatFlashing, its flame in crackling blasts of heat.Fusion follows fission in frantic gait.Bloated gluttony or the bawdy teetIt slavishly seeks to gulp, whorish trait! Yet Helios possesses grave powers.Explos
When we tell ourselves to be honest,
how can we know what is true?
What if the judgement we've always known
is a foreign scent to a brother?
If the slip of the tongue
becomes the slip of the mind,
The world, a child
her mind, a chamber
for nurtouring thoughts
no creature could blame her
stained skin
with blood so pure
they crave for her veins
In search for a cure
So, absurdism.

Weird word, weird world.
It doesn't have meaning on its own, it gets its meaning from you.
The world doesn't give itself, you, or anything meaning.
The End of the tunnel,
What this holds is my own glimpse of loop,
A lamp full of treacherous flow,
Reminding us all our repetitive deeds,
Under this veil of anonymous curtain,
Gone rogue with my destiny to the mountains,
I cried a hopeful bunch of nuts and crowds,
My only repertoire blazed in agony,
Running green in our hands,
Dyed yellow in our eyes,
A distance of our own ancestral kin,
Half of the distance shared by our people,
To be honest with yourself is not something that is simple
To expose yourself to uncomfortable realities
that may clash with your engrained views
To allow yourself to be vulnerable to the questions
The poetry of reason,Let truth be.
But memory’s past,Let defeat be.
Such futures’s triumph,For dreams be.
The truth not only bears reality
but reason and origin.
The truth not only justifies act
but rather form the foundation of wisdom
All the books are closed to me;
My mind cannot penetrate them.
I long to understand,
But never find what I seek.
Philosophers and physicists
Think away time and matter.
What does time matter
When I learned of that bittersweet Paradise Lost
By God forsaken except to that nascent Adam and Eve
Learned I,
Is that what I perceive or is it just a matter of imagination ?Is that what my soul and the pound in my chest representsz?I am just a representation of myself in different colors created by my thoughts.
I will never know for sure where the falling stars fall,
Or where the black hole ends;
I can never be for sure if magic exists
Or if our lives are all pretend.
I will never know for sure where the falling stars fall,
Or where the black hole ends;
I can never be for sure if magic exists
Or if our lives are all pretend.

Fenced off his reign, crystalline yet amorphous.
The adolescence of today have brought me something to say.
We are all going nowhere from nowhere
Snow outlined the branches of the trees that shattered the sky
Fragmented clouds
January come and gone
Dear me,
You, with all your crevices and caves are still
the man in the glass, everyday he stares into
your eyes with expectation of you fulfilling
Dear Darkness,
We meet again in this tragic abyss. It feels just like my lost lovers kiss.
Once again, the air grows hauntingly thin. Take your pride in some fools grin.
You were a delicate butterfly
So eternally beautiful
But I hated your pure wings
Hated your all-knowing eyes
You were a faultless mirror
So morally irreproachable
But reflected in your depths
Fear breaks
The crack of dawn
Tossing, turning, yearning
Hardly ever learning
People and places
Pasts and problems
Things I’ll never have the answer—
Four
Years.
Why are things the way they are?
Look ahead or look back far
They are always as they seem
It's what men in white robes deem
Or so you think until the day
Until one of them tries to lay
Always. Always always always. When one question is answered it brings millions of new questions that you weren't even aware of until you reached it. What happens in a black hole?
Dear blue-haired girl,
working at the movie theatre in Bloomingfield, Indiana,
I hope the tattooed name on your wrist
does not become a stain on your skin.
Words jump off the page in ways that are meaningless
I scratch my head for a bit thinking it'll make a light switch go off in my head like, "I GOT IT"
to the stars lightyears away
can you hear me way out there?
do you feel my tearful stare
as i silently speak to you
in what can only be called prayer
on the planets in your orbit
Dear Plato,
This desolate stone sculpture fumbling around with Play-Doh
Molding the world, keeping us afloat
Bearded Athenian, the framer's scapegoat.
Love is hated,
Love is craved.
A man wants the hold of a woman.
A woman wants the kindness of a man.
A man wants to hold with powerful hands a small neck,
Should I be glad to exist in shadows?
Should my being revel in complexity?
The tremor of realization
The murder of dichotomies.
A blank sky screams
A boy runs to it
His feet plod off against ice-ground
It is screaming too
Now the screaming has dimmed
How many universes are there?
Few? Several? Many? What is the exact number?
Nobody knows, but one is the safe answer.
The cosmos is a large and mysterious place,
Filled with untold and undiscovered elements,
A populace of mortals
Grown blasé to
The once quizzical nature of survival
Begin to crave substance in living
Here we are going
Down an ever familiar road,
To only find
It's not the same at all.
It used to be
Something different
But I guess things are never the same.
They are always changing
A path with nothing to fear.
Walking on a road to nowhere.
A path with nothing to see.
We can chose who we want to be.
The night before, I dreamt of oblivion.
Alone in this world
Yelling into the void
And out of my indecision.
A mere two words prompting a connection beyond.
Dear John,
If you thought the altitude was bad in Colorado, you should feel it up here.
In one breath, I am gone.
Sometimes, my mind goes with it...
I see u's,
I see n's,
I see faces.
They seem to tell a story,
but they advocate
none of the true.
It all seems real
until you see the flash.
The flash of force
Holding blue blood within
Sharing respiratory red blood can't live without
Like a quantity divided by zero, I am undefined.
I am cognition in your mind.
I slip through your fingers when you try to figure me out.
You and I are very alike, we are not what we think we are, and are
I'm thinking can you acquire everything in this world.
The answer is a no, but your hard work has to be overboard.
Am glimpsing through the book of life, and I see "Life is Short".
Many see life as birth, existence, and death. This, quite frankly, is the reality for an appreciable percentage of people. The reality is that people live on through their ideas. A mark, a symbol of themselves and their work.
make me,
unmake me,
unwind me like ribbon,

half decayed children and barely formed youths

Life that is without direction,
Without thought.
People that lead without choice,
Without reflection.
Those who experience true feeling,
Decisions shape and change the way we grow,
But are the decisions we make truly ours?
Perhaps we are controlled by something greater than us.
Perhaps a construct such as morality,
The end is a hard chair

The Romans would have carved into their gravestones:

“I was not, I was, I am not,
I don’t care.”
Valuable in my Eyes
The artistic sky
Paints a picture of freedom
For lone gulls to fly.
On this island, “Perfect” can’t even describe the happiness that
These warm currents bring.
Some say you need absolutely need water
Others say you need absolutely need food
Still others say you may need someone, perhaps a father?
But I say you have the wrong attitude
On a deserted island, here I amDoomed to die, in the sandI won't bring any tears to let cryOr something to hold, like someone's hand.
There's a formula
for everything these days,
and I can prove more
things than I can understand,
And I can fact check
the stars, number the sand,
We passed the field by my house,
Where you used to say sorry;
Words never held meaning for you
Without smoke kissing lips.
I never should have.
I waited too long didn't I honey?
Dreams come true
True they already are
Are we doing anything to make them come true
True they become if you try
The only thing we can do is wonder
We could be as wrong as ever
But still holding on to the feeble endeavor
that the Philosophy is valid
that our life has meaning
Curious NaturesIn a more weak world the most aggressive advantagesdon't always deal in what is referred to as "fair consequence."

The clouds slide past
and rising, rustle against the

I wish I could throw off my clothes
You are reading a poem, except you aren't.
You are looking at words on a website
And somebody told you that they comprise a poem
And so you think you are reading a poem.
They say I’m waxing philosophic.But it’s only a car and so what if I like it shinyit’s mine and it reflects the sky, the sun, the moon,the stars and, in a way, me, connecting me to the universe
Well: who am I, put honestly?
Without facade, I seem to be
A borderline dichotomy
Between two frames of mind.
At first, I show my artistry:
An optimist's philosophy
Where I eschew gentility -
It’s dusk on the hill as
the heady sky rotates slowly above,
silently aglow with vivid pulsing pink
around the edges, like a child’s fingers
eclipsing the dying flashlight of the sun.
even within nature we are confined
in chains
from the depths we crawled
toward the sun
into the trees
wiping sweat from our brows
liberty
Thoughts unhinderedTravel spry, in the form of prose,Observation won't ceasewhen the world slows.
In the truth that is the existence of the world,
We are the instigators of change;
Of the Future.
As we march forward into this new age,
we are evolving into gods.
The gods that we had once worshipped.
Instant Gratification is ruing our nation,
but this information is on a need to know basis.

My Philosophy,-

Perfection.
It’s Visceral, immaculate.
No right, no wrong.
Naught but self-reflection,
A supernova’s glow, set upon all direction.
We Are Anonymous
Like the Mosquito
that comes to bite you
and you kill it.
Now she is a forgotten entanglement
of red and black.
But you are still scratching
the bitemark.
So much
Like a wicker chair
used with fondness
for it's reliability and appropriateness in its setting
ratters and tears under the use of what it was create to do
But, another question
My leige?
Men kneel to kings,
And kings kneel to gods.
And though no monarchy holds my allegiance,
And no deity my faith,
Hope.
It runs deep.
Deeper than any mineshaft,
Tunnel or crevice within the world.
Versatile, yet universal to all.
It doesn’t hesitate, procrastinate
Or assimilate.
Hope is…

-Dreamers are dreamers, we all dream of something
-Some dreamers are "fake-believers", and those become "unachievers"

Loneliness is like an abyss
A world filled with endless darkness
A place where light is consumed
The heart trembles because darkness laughs
It shivers because the shadows devours the soul
The smoke creeps perfect ‘neath and ‘round each hearse,
as liquid darkness consumes the light over all the Earth.
Bodies lay everywhere dead lifeless to noise and sound, to
“Everything that needs to be done
Is the responsibility of everyone capable of doing it,”
I say.
I start my day
Reminding myself that the only way to live
Is to give everything I have
Everything I can
I am the poet, madder red
The odd accumulation of odds and ends.
Bright and tarnished, waylaid silver
My worth is determined by the words I'm giving.
But I am not only a poet of odds and ends
“Step on a crack
Break your momma’s back.”
That’s what they’d chant,
All the kids on the block.
We’d go around on tiptoes
Avoiding the fractures;
Like walking on glass.
It meant so much to us,

Tell me Sterling, what is "change?"
" A verb; to make or become different.
Whether it be yourself
What if I became a philosopher?
Would it change me and open my mind?
Will it teach me more than I have learned in high school?
I long to understand the minds of many popular people
Timeless Stone
An ageless face
Carved under sunlight,
Ripened by moonlight.
A tasteless taste
I hate the idea of destiny
To me it's agony
To think I don't control my own life
The use of this word it so rife
And it pains me to say this
But your ignorance is not bliss
The problem we face
Is one of pride;
We want to believe
That the answer's inside
So we build with our hands
And observe with our eyes,
Jump to conclusions
I hate myself,I hate my wealth,If I could give,Then I would live,Nothing would be mine,As nothing is divine,
To be or not to beI believe Hamlet was getting somewhere with thisTo exist is to thinkAnd to think is to beYet, what of the other side?This is not an exclimation to Death
What is dark?An absence of light.
What is light?A removal of dark.You may not have one without the other.
Perhaps this is the best representationof lifeand deathand frailty.
It’s boring, it’s all boring.
That’s what I tell myself.
Then I remember a quote
from a source I never cared to research
that says
Only boring people get bored
A quaint platitude for the
Where is it you ask?
Why, to the south
In the place of the things
The things that were seen
By the people.
Do you remember the people?
They came here a long time ago
In carts,
When most people look at the night sky
The stars tend to catch their eye.
But I, I look at that which I cannot see.
The black in the sky fascinates me
With its unknowable secrets
A road is never straight
It winds and turns in every which way
It may make you irate
And at some points you have to stay
it powers the writer
to write one more line
it inspires the muscian
to play one more time
it rages the soldier
to take that front
it focuses the athlete
A gaping hole so void,
and yet prominent.
It's shell so spherical,
as it wraps about its brittle self,
in an unctuous curvature.
A ring containing a nearly inconceivable number of atoms
Do you seriously think that assigning a shit ton of homework is going to teach us something?
How about no.
It doesn't.
Is it effective, to what extent?
It's not, never.
Is it justified?
Darkness is a cloak of shelter.
Ending the day's noise,
And so forth the day's chapter.
Darkness is everywhere,
Whether it's a shadow,
Or a feeling you can't share, nor bear.
What if you could evaporate in the sky
And drift freely along the twists and turns of the winds current
Travel miles upon miles over land
Showering them with your condensed vapor
Confessions themselves cannot be penalized, and kind words cannot be thanked.
If I was asked why I write, I would not tell.
I would write about it.
Writing itself is immune, immortal--
Do drugs make faces lie?
Does liquor deepen the hole?
Cut once to fill it.
When mirrors break,
glue can only dull shards.
The greatest fall of modern civilization,
was abandoing the philosophy that kept us from the coffin.
Aristotle and Aquinas held the keys,
to western civilizations victory.
In his metaphysics they lay,
The end of time is reassuringly complete
I expected sadness
But instead felt reassuring completeness
Everyone else escaped backwards
Into an elaborate game of hide and seek
Before they hit the end
Your impression
That the world will harbor the
Audacity to sever limbs from the whole truth
Are gravely mistaken.
From now on, the whole truth, and nothing less!
And in times of future toil,
Write.Written as the philosopher devised ways to thinkbut the thought was only told through speech.Yet speech was only allowed for those that began to speak
My mind makes a mosaic of memory,
glass projections tied together in fluidity.
Nonsense shapes incomplete but cooperating
in order to make something beautiful.
"Don't do that" a common utterance of disempowerment
A three word society on its own
filled with expectation when the first mistake was made
A sense of being unloved, peaking through a pessimistic lens of hearing
Theres Something Great In All Of Us,
Something We Dont Earn But is Born Within Us,
Potential..
Potential Change The Lives Of Others and Make A Difference In World Where We
The tears roll down from his eyes
and are blown away in whispers
By the wind
This Man
I do not know him
He cries in an agony
I cannot see
He is alone beside me
wicker baskets
positioned precariously at the edge of a bluff
like the skulls of children
(full of apples and oranges)
spilling forth into the ocean
mixing to create a fruit soup of sorts
I'm living high on Paradise
Where nobody cheats, and nobody lies
I'm blessed to walk on streets of gold
I'm doomed to walk these streets alone
Look into your own Imagination.
What is around your location?
Suited rabbits? Black magic?
Mystic incantations?
Delve deeper than a magicians hat.
Outside the box? Farther than that.
The definition of finish
Can’t possibly be the first sign of progress on the road to success
Maybe it’s the ok to exit
Or a predetermined establishment of “well enough”
Its designed as something easy to live with
The colors of the rainbow, hmmmmm!
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet;
Let’s add White and Black.
Why not even Gold and Silver?
I see demons on the ceilings-
They crawl down the steps and up the pew to preach-
I see sheep in the pasture-
and if he tells them to jump they will fly from the rock and kiss the ocean-
Nautical graves and practical poets,
Woman's condition and cultural woe.
Heaving sensations accompany the telly.
What's worse than these? The end of the show.
On my path, I'm headed for hell
Today, I snuck in God's house 'cause he don't know me that well
But upon entrance a preacher caught me and called me by name
He said "I don't know why you're here, but I'm glad that you came,"
Everything has a face
Just like my Brother’s old backpack
Hanging in the closet with its snares and tares
And every time I look
At it seeing its entirety, places it’s gone, baggage it has carried
God with us
God with us, I’ve heard it said before
But what does it really mean
to be with the Lord?
If I could ask one question of my Lord
How would I pick from all I do not know?
What is the meaning behind His Word?
If I could ask one question of my Lord
How did he think to create the world?
Little did we know
What Heaven has in store for us.
There came an angel,
Unbearable for us earthly judges to look upon.
His voice brought harmony, his face brought tranquility,
Selfish desires
Thrive in our society.
Lurking in every human mind
Slowly
Slowly
Tearing all compassion away.
You said it, therefore it must be true.
Yes, every word you speak is law.
Why should anyone have room to doubt you?
You, who beleives everything the bias media tells you.
Today we can live
Yesterday we've survived
Tomorrow will never cry
The days of our lives
We can do whatever.
Till one of us die
Then we all
Cry
Our backs were bent ‘til we were walking
on the knuckles of our souls
The trees were drinking angels’ tears
in the deserts where they grow
And the only time my heart was shaken
was when I threw it to the wind
What is comparable to inevitable??
If the lyrics don't intertwine, then the meaning is forgotten.
How do we proceed to the next level when we keep falling?
The stairs are right before us but the world is calling,..
