Eternity
I sit,
Quietly leafing
Through
The tattered pages
Of an old
Hymnal;
There is
Something here;
So remote,
So near;
I bow my head,
Eyes open,
Mutely asking
For mercy.
I cannot
Shake
From my mind
The inexplicable
Eternity
Written
On my heart.
Quietly leafing
Through
The tattered pages
Of an old

Something here;
So remote,
So near;
I bow my head,
Eyes open,
Mutely asking
For mercy.
I cannot
Shake
From my mind
The inexplicable
Eternity
Written

A Lifetime in 12 Blinks
We blink once were in Pre-K
We blink twice 21st birthday
Third time marriage & career
Fourth time parents die, shed a tear
Fifth your at the age to retire
Sixth your ailing, always so tired
Seventh your spouse dies, sadness is deep
Eighth you live alone, hope to die in your sleep
Ninth you have visions of insanity
Tenth you curse your god with profanity
Eleventh remaining family surround your bed
Twelfth one last deep breath, now you are dead
When the Grim Reaper comes for all of us,
think of it as going to sleep...

Time
Taxi’s, Twitter and Trauma
Are the words of my week I’m afraid
Thank god for time and humanity
For where would we be without them?
Time is always of the essence
And without humanity what am I?
Profound and enlightening experiences
Are what I can summise
Life goes along, a bird sings her song
And what can be for the rest?
One can never know as the world will still go
Until the end of time as we know it.

Who am I?
Who am I?
Am I even me?
Who is the I that asks the question?
Where am I?
Am I even here?
Who is the I who perceives this space?
What am I?
Am I even alive?
Who is the I who creates this reality?
When am I?
Do I even exist?
Who is the I that perceives time?
How am I?
Can this world be true?
Who defines knowledge and who are you?
Am I even me?

Starting Point
I was basically mute for the first year of school.
I still remember the look on my teacher's face when I said the ONLY thing I ever said to her.
I said her name, "Mrs. Lyte", her face lit up because she was excited, but I got scared and went back to not talking.
I was an obedient and scared child.
I was terrified to get answers wrong because I wanted teachers to like me.
I was terrified if they were ever mad, even if not at me.
My mom and her boyfriend kept us (my brother and me) locked in our small room until I was...

Diary of a madman: Skyfall
My body is getting heavy
Is the sky falling down?
I look around in horror
People are creating labyrinthic roads with their light steps
Making cute philosophies with their wet bodies
They always say:
This guy doesn't care if the sky collapse
This guy will outlive us all
Funny
I began to imagine the falling of the sky
The stars which hold our fate pour down like hailstones
and break into pieces
The moon rolls over in front of me
and fails to hide its dark side
And, there's no longer need to learn how to fly ...

Benefits of being an Atheist
I know that believing in God is NOT necessary to be a good person, it is possible to be moral and have good values without believing in God.
I can embrace new scientific theories about human origins, without being saddled with the belief that a god created everything.
I’m free from church hierarchy telling me what I can and can’t do.
I can embrace a woman’s right to make choices when it comes to her own body.
I don’t have to give my money to a church, so that the pastor can afford his own personal jet, home, mistresses, children or any other...

unfillable void
a living, breathing, organism who needs food, shelter, and community to survive.... the truth is eery and can't be denied;
most days going forward- I'd like to hurry up and die-because what's more both hard to accept and "scarier" than "death" is what it means to "survive"- those "ticking" moments on the way there when one's "alive"....
sickness, shortness of breath, the lonliness.... the unfilliable void.... reminders of what's to come....

Future Misery
Is one
Trying
Trying to break free
Or is one
Living life
For future Misery
Where you
Continue to Be
A Host
A mere shell
With a mask
Defending
What Clearly
Should not be
As you slowly
Fade to Grey
WithIn the Mists
Of other people's
Twisted Claims

SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
Skeletons in the closet.
What truth do I hide?
I might share, I might be honest.
Telling you my dark secrets isn't wise
Just let them be in the dark
Never expose
If I do it could be at a park
Secluded and what else, who knows?
If I tell you my tainted secret
Then you could regret it
Why?
Cause with you it wouldn't be the same
Things would change and maybe be some pain.
But don't you worry
Things aren't that way
No damage done, no bad story
Just don't open my closet where my...
