The Darkness Of Solitude
The Darkness of solitude has taken
him captive, as a chain of visions
overcome his memory,,,
He sits most days wondering how
he got this far,,,
Will he ever look at things any new way,,,
The tendrils of his mind awaken,
intertwining fact with fiction, along
with a hint of delight, shadowed by a
trace of horror,,,
How many morrows to come before
this darkness of solitude for him will be done,,,
Eradication of this plague must occur
for some quality of life to perdure,,,
Alas a radiant light emerges as an apparition,
clarity to be assured,
or is it;

one hundreds words to drabble on
this ought to be fun
he had cold icy blue eyes
of which that spoke no lies
he told me of this place
"no one is judged by race"
"and you have plenty of space
"this is not real" I thought
"oh but it is" he said
"what, heaven?" I am very skeptical
"no my love, do not fear
for your time is near"
I AM NOT AFRAID.
Tell me what this place is!
" the land of souls my darling
it is not heaven nor hell"
I accepted fate

Time is a trick here and we are being played
sometimes beautifully sometimes not
but most of the time it makes no damn sense:
Yesterday you're facing away but it's you
(knowing your walk the way I do)
but today you're gone
and after that who knows
the song it comes and goes
in the silence of this room
in the noise from the Interstate
just west of New Orleans
where the tires of the trucks sing
sometimes beautifully
sometimes not
and it's playing them
just like it's playing us
this night
off the Interstate
just west of
New Orleans.
essence
chirps of the young ones
in high octave penetrates
the fluid shells of silence
post static spells of alliance
in familiar dreamscape we begin
to move in a wave-overlapping-overfull-
repelling-yet conjoined by a bond that binds
the crux of the universal matter since the
first of the millionth fraction of one blink
In the impenetrable tranquil
of the twilight let me coo
reminding you that
we are the same
speck of immortal
stardust-since
the birth of
time-in the
very laws
of creation
so bloom
into a
trillion
twinkles
and let us
lose ourselves
in the
luminescence
of the soul.
Having fun and inhaling skunk
Isn't just for Trappist Monk
When you're freaking, all psychotic
Just lean upon some sweet narcotic
Society spawned, wild banshee
Only need to rebalance Chi
Smoke some dope, smoke some weed
Just a puff is all you need
Soon you will be feeling fine
Depressed to manic in zero time!
Incense covers the funny smell
Will you miss the odd grey cell?
Home, work, love all aggravation?
Sit back, relax and take medication
Grab your 'make-me-happy' bottle
Instantaneous full throttle
Introverted retrospection
Irretrievable dissection
Inner demons can be explored
Sectioned on psychiatric ward

Hold on! Don't go now! Don't leave me alone!
The wind is blowing through the window and I cry here at your side.
The floor is cold, your fingers colder, your heart has stopped in time.
Your lips still look so warm, they cry for mine to touch them softly.
Your eyes are dull, it's painful.
I need your warmth to stay alive, I need your love to survive.
I need you to caress my face, but now I am caressing yours.
I kiss your lips, I give my life, I follow with the wind.
Stay by your side forever.

Self Control:
Once again,Madahra was facing consequences for her lack of self control.As she sat in the back of the Pullit County police car.
with her head down she could still hear Ananda screaming for her.
No child should witness there Mother being taken away in hand cuffs,but there was nothing she could do about it now.Funny thing is,she had been having premonitions about this for days now,but she just didnt know how to stop herself once she got started.The fury seemed to not only bubble up inside of her,but completely consume her.

.:MISSION: To Avoid Stumbling Around Ignorant:.
So far…on par
this is what we’ve found…The Balance
3 times 33 and a third equates 100%
Of what should one receive…and what’s
to be spent?
Perhaps what every Third Eye has seen; each ear has heard
Traveling throughout this Plan(it) a Sphere that’s somewhat curved
We’ve reserved; deserve rights to foster own opinion
Created by The One…Controller of Dominion
While we’re sure of what we think…what we know may not hold weight
In the Grandeur Scream of Things not many of us rate
So during Presentation we’ll attempt to Maintain Humble
Question more than Answer…avoiding
Ignore’
Rant’
Stumble’
