Summer
Summer ends,I made so many new friends.
But now,it's time for me to go.
Icecream melts,and the weather is hot like the sun.
Summer is coming,and I hope this will be so much fun.
Stay at home,rest,no need to run.
And the cycle repeats all over again.
Graduation comes,and time for me to go.
I hope this happiness will always flow.
Scared of my future,aware of the past.
All those years passed by so fast.
And now I have to move on,depart from my friends.
I hope our paths may cross again.
But untill then,good...
But now,it's time for me to go.
Icecream melts,and the weather is hot like the sun.
Summer is coming,and I hope this will be so much fun.
Stay at home,rest,no need to run.
And the cycle repeats all over again.
Graduation comes,and time for me to go.
I hope this happiness will always flow.
Scared of my future,aware of the past.
All those years passed by so fast.
And now I have to move on,depart from my friends.
I hope our paths may cross again.
But untill then,good...

Dirt
How can dirt be brave and and [SIC] mighty
to involve itsef [SIC] in rapture
changing what was high and honest
into what is so disgusting?”
I never thought
or knew
that dirt was sentient
and furthermore
possessed by a desire
(or had capacity)
for bravery
or was itself
quite able to design
and undertake attempts
at rapturing “mankind”.
But Joeph-Z
has said it’s so
and thus, to him at least,
his claim is indisputable.
Shall I or anyone regard
his...

A Doorway - with Lilliputian
Between every two trees
there is a doorway
of rhythms and beams
rustling the fallen leaves
more than the eye can know
powder puff and pollen blow
and scented hours
beneath the smiling moon
of lanterns and stars
hidden under green canopies
and sleeping sunflowers
the glowing fireflies
chanting to the alchemy
of cloaked essence below
with secrets from nights ago
veiled in tulle
forevermore dreaming to
the dusk's tunes
there is a doorway
of rhythms and beams
rustling the fallen leaves
more than the eye can know
powder puff and pollen blow
and scented hours
beneath the smiling moon
of lanterns and stars
hidden under green canopies
and sleeping sunflowers
the glowing fireflies
chanting to the alchemy
of cloaked essence below
with secrets from nights ago
veiled in tulle
forevermore dreaming to
the dusk's tunes

The Poetree Tree
Autumn:
Words fall
Like Autumn leaves
Now jaded, but no longer jade
But a tapestry
Of 'rusty' colours
Of a myriad fading shades
Winter:
The fallen leaves
Now brown, and rotten
Crushed underfoot
And soon forgotten
As naked trees
Neon shades lost
Bare arms reaching out
For her missing children
Spring:
The cold dark bleakness of winter
Is soon replaced
As the golden glow
Of the sun
Begins to warm
As nature is reborn
The tree has new children ...
Words fall

As naked trees
Neon shades lost

As the golden glow
Of the sun
Begins to warm
As nature is reborn

the rabBIT hole
Down into the hollow....
Where no one else will follow.
Where no one else will know.
Somewhere deeper than below.
That's where you'll find me.... grasping!
Within me, my Spiritual self, gasping....
For the real me, & for air....
But time, & again there is nobody, & there is nothing there.
That's when I start to free fall.
That's when I can hear my God, beginning to call.
But I've abandoned "nearly" all control....
Traveling once more, down that same old rabBIT hole.

Icing On The Cake
The clearest thing life has to offer
Inevitably, you will live
But without any hints or tips
One day the gonna say you are late
How many dives how many lies?
I deserve one more bite of my last pie
Before I die
Diary of a born rebound guy
Who will buy?
True or fake
Death's the icing on any cake
Do you actually know what it takes?
So always sigh deep only when the day breaks
Living, wondering when it is my due date
Let's set
But I need nor bet
We have never met
Before, but we will all die...
Inevitably, you will live
But without any hints or tips
One day the gonna say you are late
How many dives how many lies?
I deserve one more bite of my last pie
Before I die
Diary of a born rebound guy
Who will buy?
True or fake
Death's the icing on any cake
Do you actually know what it takes?
So always sigh deep only when the day breaks
Living, wondering when it is my due date
Let's set
But I need nor bet
We have never met
Before, but we will all die...

Wishes
We, I IS ME would like to say election season greeting to any and all participants here on DUP
To all of those that have based your political decisions on any type of prejudice we truly pray that you receive all that you vote for.
The thing about hate is it can often return and slap you in the face, think Roe V Wade
Hate is the gift that keeps on giving
Now this is about supporting one party or the other we believe you're screwed regardless but who's going to screw you the least.
Men wanting control and rights back over women
Some people wanting control...

The Arisen Billows
Oh, billowing waves!
The deep shall rise
The brine onto our lips.
The billows shall die
And the tide shall slope
And flux past our ankles.
Oh, the receding current
Shall carry sands of the strand
To the offing.
The deep shall rise
The brine onto our lips.
The billows shall die
And the tide shall slope
And flux past our ankles.
Oh, the receding current
Shall carry sands of the strand
To the offing.

Shorts from Kitchen Sink Satellites
Nativity Blues
They found him on the school stage
overlooked by a portrait of Jesus,
Above the chair he had kicked away
Small Things Like This
A piano plays in an empty womb
hear the minor keys fall silent,
Staccato are hospital ward screams
brief is the introduction of strangers
Falling from Drifting Snow
When we came back late from the Waterfall
someone pinned a message to the gate,
Wales has drowned, just keep fucking sailing
Some Call it Irony
Knuckleboned tornflesh night ...

Simple Ernest
Hemingway used small words to say big things
For some educated poets that's a bite that stings
You didn't need a dictionary or a point of origin to understand
Still his writing could take you to far off lands
He wrote about simple people fighting against the odds
Whether it be about a boat, a fish, a bull, or even the Gods
It's not about who can have the most ten dollar words
It's about whose writing separates the writer from the herd
