I think when the earth was young a meteor from somewhere in the cosmos crash landed on the surface, exploding for miles and miles, And ever since then the pieces have been traveling through water and air over land and sea, or through anything that
My emotions are paralysed by fear,I am so scared that no one will hear.So stuffed in a bottle and thrown in the sea,bobbing up and down in the centre of me. Armed with a smile to mask over my cries,I must admit it’s a brilliant disguise.You would
I know that this sounds crazy, but I just can't seem to let it go.
Everyone around me keeps telling me to stop hanging on, and to just go with the flow.
MY LOVE IS FAITHFUL
Unaware and
suddenly
Like a
butterfly
she
fertilize my
pollen.
sometimes the sign you have been looking for is bright and fluourescent
invading the stormy blue sky
sometimes its just a whisper in your ear
soft and subtle
like the brush of a butterfly wing
yesterday i stole time
i snuck in while destiny was asleep
and hid the seasons away
i don't want to worry that there will never be enough of it to spend with you
So much words I want to say
Emotions build every day
For true love I did pray
Now I've found it I'm blown away
Battled for you throughout time
Won every fight to make you mine
In the world of you and I
One thousand pieces spread across the table;
Completely overwhelmed with where to start.
At first look, they blend among the others,
But different shades are obsolete to the norm.
It's unsettling having to settle being incomplete
For Eternal peace fulfillment and purpose must meet
A blessing for all, the experience of this courting is sweet
A boy prances on the theatre stage
His pirouettes piqued my next mind's page
His pretty face sets my eyes to him
It takes such might to unglue them
He turns, and twists and jumps so high

and tears
and probably more tears.
However, there is more than just death and mourn.
Your story won't die.
Up Ahead
Stands a figure
A hooded figure.
All around me is chaos,
the screams from the Fields of Punishment
Echoes in my head.
His hand reaches to me.
A soft smile that says
I gaze at the world
Above
Me
Endless and open
Beyond my reach
A world I yearn for
You can’t go, you can’t fly
…I want to
Oh my!
There you are
You’ve caused me trouble,
searching for you.
Now that I have you,
I've born many a days
Not ever sure that another would come
And yet another one arrives
Because it is not up to me to decide
It's a gift that I cannot deny
And the day that is last
Is much too far off
In and around the time I began to crawl,
it had occured to me that the book of life is so small.
In that, as I walk with a pace of one...two...one...two,
the missing number; three...
would be left up to me.
I’m an ambitious man.
A tool of destiny, a puppet of fate,
transcending all of humanity.
Cunning and charismatic, I seek

I can feel it in my heart I'm already slowing dying
In my mind…
You won't believe me if I told you Your life is nothing but a dream walking in complete darkness it's your job to paint your life !
Dear Future,
There are too many words in my head,
Yet I can’t get them down.
They swirl, they jumble,
And I begin to drown.
There are too many thoughts in my head,
That I can’t decipher.
I see too clearly
that you are
a rigid string unwilling to bend
for, or to, others. Your plans are
obscure,
complicated,
From horoscope readings
To zodiac signs
To interpreting the location of the stars in the sky
To stumbling upon one special person
Unaware of the great impact they will have on you
Whether it will be good or bad
When God crumpled the stars
And made people
Scattering these borrowed atoms across
The earths skin
Did he await the day that I would find you?
And as our ancestors died and rejoined the stars
I’m so glad I found you
Do you know why we found each other?
It was destiny
Long ago
When we were still stars
We touched
Gently and lovingly
And we were separated
It was like any other day.
The cars were honking.
The children were shouting, playing.
Someone was doing their homework.
A mom was buying groceries.
A girl and a boy were chatting endlessly.
She sits atop a jeweled throne,
her lilac hair an endless stream.
Her gold eyes are all-knowing,
and her body is furled in tenebrous shadows.
She looks at the board before her.
The constant eradication of a soul
A soul broken into pieces of a whole
Leads to a stone heart
That can no longer feel pain
Frantically sinking into the Sea of Death
Trying to catch a single breath
A breath of life
That--- for a moment--- can take away the constant strife
Dear Destiny,
With words unspoken, you decide our fate
From the things we love to the things we hate
Who we fall in love with, and who we can't stand
Our every last wish, our every last demand
Take this in, deep down inside.
With all the wrong and all the right.
Only you know, only you see.
We're the arrows that God uses for his bow, and most of the time, he's missing
He's drunk in his backyard and blindly picking us up from the dirt ground
our souls are fickle things
they float about the world
lightless and heavy
with one mission in their heart
Isn't it crazy how everyone in this lifetime insipres and impacts others
Some way or somehow
Just saying a little compliment can make the difference between lonliness and appriciation
I'm leaving home for the first time.
And it's kinda scary,
I don't know what I'm up against.
There's a future I can call mine,
Out in a great big world
Where I'm on my own, without friends.

My mind is afloat with many ideas,
Thoughts are ignited inside the eye of things which cannot be erased.
Can this path of life lead to the place that I can call home,
For the darkness in the skies;The nightmare in disguise,Still I rise. For the moon in the night,For the sun burning bright;Lord did we rise... For my sisters and brothers; My father and mother I will rise! For the pain in your eyes;For the lov

Listen to me my son, you are called to teach;
Basically I’m asking you to crawl in deep;
But first, we’re gonna have to overhaul your speech;
Occasion was college annual function
When you sang a sweet love song
That touched the bottom of my heart
My eyes wished to quench its thirst
By plunging into depth of your heart
But no favor from destiny
"Don't be your father."
Don't give up when they need you.
Don't go back on your word.
Make it through.
Find a way.
"Don't be your mother."
Don't leave them all alone.
Compared to the expectation of my dreams,
And the flight of my imagination,
It seems still,
This space I possess,
My 17th year of life.
I send a quake towards my destiny,
I am not a poet.
You are not a poet.
I am a lost soul with an imagination that demands to be seen.
You are a creature looking for words that fill your aching void with a sense of
belonging.
I Dreamt Of The Land,
That Unbelievable Land,
Where I Pay For Entitlement,
With The Cut Of My Hand,
Where The Rune Of Treachery,
Love surpassing something as limited as the heart and human emotion.
The seas apon the globe are nothing but mere shallow ponds
in comparison to the capacity we own as one.
You are me, I am you.
I hear you words everyday
in somhow in some way
you say you aren't controlling me
but I am trapped I'm not free.
You degrade me in public
call me names to make me feel pychotic
We all have a detiny in life,
Some follow, and some not.
Not as easy as you thought.
You have some people, who are strife,
Whose life cuts like a knife.
Shall I think of life as a rot?
It reassures me
Yet it used to
Annoy me so much
Thinking about
My choices being made
Without me as a thought
But for some reason
It now becomes a medicine
I plead for it
Dream.
Your ideas set your boundaries. Make them infinite.
Listen.
Your heart identifies your destiny. Follow no matter what.
Learn.
Mistakes are a part of life. Understand the meaning within.
Grow.
Shy, cry, bye and why
Look me in my eyes, and you still lie
Tears swelling, questioning how I will get by
Water weight dropping, I've ran myself dry
I'm a wreck, be honest, how do I look?
I’m 60% water
Every cell in my body is living
For that intricate H2O
I persevere to stretch
My ambitions
To be boundless
Like the water
That sneaks and slides
How do you know what can’t be lived withoutIf you lived life before attaining it?It is simple.You hadn’t been truly living at all.
Your Heart affects your Thoughts.
Your Thoughts lead to Choices.
They become Actions.
Actions lead to Consequences.
Consequences Determine Your Destiny.
Illuminated by the

She sinks beneath
His solid shadow,

"These strings are heavy
These strings are poor
It's me they steady
As they close the door
I hate these strings
I hurt, it stings
To desert my meaning."
"My destiny calls
I fight the urge to fall
As if death could be worse
I wish to break this curse
But as I look around
I hear a strange new sound
Laughter in the depths
Allowing me to rest."
From under this morning's sun,
Carefully,
Quickly,
I dared sipped from it.
I thought,
With my eyes closed;
Forget today,
Let someone else take your route.
Destiny: by Paul Gray
The sounds of silence echo loudWithin my sleepy headAwake it seems though darkened dreamsHave told that soon I'm dead
Coincidence has destined my ironic fate,
Like star-crossed lovers who act too late,
Before I even drew my first breath,
Providence recorded my imminent death
Fortune allotted to me my share,
You tell me who to be, and then refuse to walk
Along the beaten path you carved for me.
I stumble along rocks, and smell each blooming bud.
Why do you make things so sweet and empty?
Envision freedom as a circle spanning three hundred and sixty degrees
And sitting at the circle’s center you are at liberty to swivel and tilt at will
One Day I lost you, disappeared in thin Air, I went searching for you but could not find you anywhere
Oh the grief you have caused I nearly pulled out my Hair, I looked up, down, all around but nowhere
The time has come for a suite,Humbling and sweet.Eternity awaits for those of us,Standing on destiny’s edge.
the cold damp grass bends beneath my weight
The night sky casts a white shadow on my fate
looming like dramatic irony I remain unaware
the stars eye on me i still think that life is fair
Twisted and tangled upon the floor, was where she laid herself.She wasnt looking at anything specifically, but yet she was staring at the irony of her destiny.
"Just be yourself."
I've heard that line a thousand times
Which self? The one that gets me admiration and respect,
or the one who swings between lows and elation,
All of these battles fought before,
no one will win this war.
Madness driven by coexistence,
Person of every moment,
I am he who gives without expecting atonement.
Give myself to you if ever you need consolement
My soul is always open , sometimes my mind is closed in
A narrow mind needs not to dream
And I want a dreamer to dream with me.
So, before we part, it's this you must know:
You were a fanciful one, as far as dreams go.
Could you feel me leave; and climb so high to see the world at my feet?
Steady storms ashore, but I'm the iris and I just want more
It's in the stars: the treble in my heart will be heard on Mars, for
When I dared to finally take my own steps,
and when I dared to go my own direction,
I found and learned about myself without the intention.
I left my home country and studied abroad
My weary old soul cursed by another's unfinished past was given a long and treacherous path, paved and made with broken stones and questioning tones
So many people lost today.
So many take an easy way,
sell their souls and give their love away.
Do away with material things
None of that matters
My sole hope for you and your long life
is to be
more than you were yesterday
scream, love, dance, embrace, and run like hell
Be strong
And if I witness a close death.
Be strong, for It will strengthen my belief that it was their time and the works of god are never wrong.
And if I am ever befriended,
Its my time to shine
many years have passed
my destiny is calling
reflection in the glass
Curtain call!
I hear the man scream
a bang on the door
Startling me
"Somewhere between free will and determinism I found myself stagnate, in a metaphysical gridlock not knowing what direction to step in.
To be heard, is the cry of every heart
To be heard, is desired from the very start
From a child's first cry, to final death
We long to put our souls to rest
To find peace in someone who has heard
There is but a tapestry
Woven over the years
Laced with the delicate lives
Of all those who lived before me
I am but a single thread
Spinning endlessly until
My end, just a piece
At first I thought the issue was me.
But then I saw my mother.
I thought the issue was her.
But then I saw my aunt.
I thought the issue was her.
But then I saw my grandmother.
Thoughts are as common as the world
And at the same time they shape it
Sticking to our detailed minds making them twirl
Just a moment of our lives,
Thinking about every second,
Not even caring about the person walking right past us.
It's all about ourselves time and time,
I place the key in the ignition,I put the car in driveand press the gas pedalbut I go no where. I open my mouth,and move my lips,I push air out
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Vessel to vessel
Trust to trust
On someday in March…
I remember distinctly
Listening
To yourheartbeat
That moment you told me
Luck sits watching the world, She along with her mate. Serious he sits by her side, The all-seeing Fate. And below them both, Their four children dance around. Chance, Destiny, Karma, and Fortune Occasionally stop to glance down.
Everyday
Same time
Your front door creaks, did you notice?
Mine does, too.
10:30 AM, you walk out of your apartment-
The one right across the hall from mine-
And I make sure I walk out, too.
Walking down the little path, in the middle of the night Seeing your reflection in the water as you walk by. Lost blurs of silver and white expand across the dark night.
Spread your wings and follow your destiny. Open your eyes and see the reality. Close your eyes and see what could be. Flap your wings and fiollow the path. Evolve into a beautiful butterfly. You've crawled low and miserably for too long.
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 left arm is the pain and hurt that’s been suffered all this time, while the right is a shrine to the family that’s there no matter what.
My little feet
alone on the playground
they run away from me
No
they’re not scared
their footprints fade into the distance
I tell myself
Destiny deals our hands and we sit around the table with our poker faces on getting redy to play.
Karma and God cracked their knuckles and sat on the throne meant for them.
You only write once
So this is my only chance
To express what’s inside
Even though sometimes I wanna hide
Because the pain is real and the hurt is deep
To sense the warm sunshine take a glimpse at your skin,
The wind dance in your hair,
I had a dream that I was floating
Towards a world unknown.
Everything around me was frozen
As if time had ceased.
A voice approached me
From an unknown location
"You are destined,"
Miraculous pity isn’t it so?
Gingerly anticipation!
My gloved hands pulsing, to know…to not know…
Tails lack an end of extermination.
Should chance toss elsewhere- then off with her head!
Don't call me your angel. Don't call me your baby girl. I can't possibly belong to anyone. It's not by choice. It's just my destiny. I was meant to stand alone, an icon of myself. I was meant to be strong and a leader all my own. I'm hard to love
She stood, hair lapping in the frigid night air, at the coast. The rocky barrier separated the gravel road from a smooth, black and lapping bay. It was pitch black, like thick coffee with grinds that managed to escape into the brew. Lapping.
My friend and I were talking one day and he asked me,
"What do you think about the state of downtown?"
I thought about this question for a second and said...
I once met love at the front door!
And, when I glaced it's direction
Love, beautifully, smiled back at me.
That was love. My first sight!
I became instantly drawn to love.
From the moment I first heard her heartbeat;
that I felt her move.
From the moment I first saw her;
my Darling’s eyes so blue.
How anxious I was to hold her;
embracing my joyous fate.
We don't get to timeour crises of faith,do we? When thebite has gone outof the bourbon itseems as thoughjokes are not funny,as they used to be.
I write so that you may see me
Wrapped so eagerly into this language
That can move so swift from my lips that the meaning
Brings nothing
But when you see it
sometimessometimes the manis a batin that a pen in his handis giving wings to a ratlives in his own worldand his world is flatthoughts like ships falloff the map
To speak for those without voices;To feel as they have felt,and bleed as they have bled;To record the lives of others,their thoughts,feelings,and opinions,so that they might become immortal
Draw a path
For a destiny.
Take it nice and slow.
Do not worry about the flaws,
For they will clear
With the brightest light,
That will never make it dark.
So enjoy a journey
Watch an eagle spread wings like silk
Untouchable purity against a night sky
Until the hunter (some would call him Destiny!) takes aim
See the king of the air turned to game
I sat next to him that one day
thinking he could one day be my friend.
From that day on we started talking, as one would say,
but it was a wonder what our eyes would send.
You make me laugh. You make me smile. You make my life have purpose. I am nothing without you. Before you came into my life I was a mess. I finally had a reason to change who I was. You gave me a reason to start my life over.
My soul is downcast from fighting in the flesh.
So far and distant, a glimpse of You is what I need.
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You.
I wake up every morning, asking myself, what is my destiny
Sometimes I can't provide myself an answer
But as I begin my morning routine,
The world becomes a little more clearer to me
When one has all but wish for none
When one has none but wishes all
One’s path, One’s fate, One’s Destiny
A life for a life, denial in humanity
A life denial at humanity for a life
There was loud noise
Followed by me crying out his name
As the bathroom door
Flew open
I could feel the steam
Coming from out of there
Pressuring against my face
My mind bobbled
You know, you might look at me and think that I've got it all together, this much is true.
But if you dig a little deeper, the truth will come through.
You see, I'm just a young man with a hope and dream, a little talent, too.
I feel like I'm destined for something but will I reach that preset goal
I'm not cruise control
I'm speeding along and I break down
And it seems like destiny ain't for me.
Secretly the moon dances with the stars,
Across the night sky,
They shift and glitter against the darkness of life,
Two dancers in love as their love shines down.
Maybe in the moon's silver gaze,
We too,
Inhale the scorching summer sun
Inhale the vibrance envelope around you
like the sweet simmering blades of grass
staring vividly at the horizon
I feel the heat wrapping its tentacles around my pale white flesh
Will I ever be able to escape the clutches of my mind
And travel the world as a happy soul
One so content with life and eternally blessed
If this happens I could surrender my love and finish my existence with him
Everyone has dreams.
Only few wake up and chase them.
The sleep are sheep.
who can't release,
grips, from the nation.
Stricken in poverty.
This can't be life,
Obviously.
GOD didn't put us here
I came out of the womb a writer.
I am certain.
However, I didn't accept that I was a writer until age nineteen.
That year I made a choice--we all have to make one, or more, eventually.
Begin the heart’s drumming beat,
Eternally locking our secrets deep,
Never ushering sound of defeat or joy,
Enraptured by life we turn so coy,
Another day or night it’s all the same,
My tongue will not spill No. I want to give her the world. No! she deserve the world. From my rib that is why He created Girl. She is so dangerous, avoid the eyes. Her voice is like an Angel, so check your pulse for evidence that you are alive.
There was a time when the world was beautiful.
When my biggest fear was growing up, and getting older, and getting wrinkles.
That was the time without worry. Where I didn’t have to look over my shoulder, and wonder. Or even care.
Though you see,
To find is another matter.
Wanting hearts not filled overnight.
The journey continues,
Hope still abounds in us.
A search has demanded answers,
They will be owned, Oh Perseverer.
And all I see looking back at me,
Is broken glass Destiny.
And all these paths we make,
And all these lives we take,
Lead to selfish will
And hope that always fills
The empty side of me.
Why not me.
Look at them, they seem so happy
Hand in Hand, drowning in the endless pools of each other's eye
Oceans of euphoria, smiles real big
like a child watching fireworks
You’ve got that look in your eyes
And I can see you’re off somewhere
Building castles in the air
Hoping one day you can live up there
Hoping one day that you’ll be up there
Once there was a boy with a heart so big
A heart so willing to give, give and give
A heart so forgiving and filled with joy
A common trait in such a little boy
I am a sensitive loving person.
I wonder where my passion for life will take me.
I hear my destiny calling.
I see pain turning into forgiveness.
I want the truth to be seen.
I am a sensitive loving person.
This Poem is my everything. If you can, just listen and let me know what you think!
Hovering just within my reach,
The warmth of your body
Curling around me in seductive swirls,
Eyes piercing my soul,
Whispers of your lips lingering on mine,
You stand a 8,194 miles away.
Its you that I've been waiting for
The one who would sweep me back to shore
Why do I fall so easily
When the words you used were so cheesy
my heart beats fast
You were my first and I was hoping my last
when I watch the patchwork of stars
ten thousand galaxies away
when I watch you go - orbit away
from me as I stay
stagnant we are, feelings fall away like dust
plummet to the earth
Life isn't always what you want it to be,
But you cannot change what is destiny.
A mere instant can change your life forever,
You may even be bound to a grueling endeavor.
Who is that still figure illustrating my mirrored image? Is not from the moment were born that ignites the art of curiosity, and the strive to achieve.
Confused and scared,
I struggle through life completely unaware.
Why am I here?
When will my purpose appear?
Questions roll around in my head,
Where have I been led?
Destiny, is it real?
You don’t know what I’m talking about
You don’t know what I want
You don’t have the ability to read my mind
I contend not with men and their rhetoric, but with self and its defiance to the greatness that is alive in me.
