Disillusionment
Hold on to the rope
Of truth;
A wave rushed in
Then crashed upon a rock
What the eye has seen
The mind remembers
The wave rushed in
And crashed upon the rock
It has happened before
The mind remembers seeing
The wave rush in
To crash upon a rock
Even now as it withdraws
Another wave surges forth
To scream and scratch
The surface of the rock
Of truth;
A wave rushed in
Then crashed upon a rock
What the eye has seen
The mind remembers
The wave rushed in
And crashed upon the rock
It has happened before
The mind remembers seeing
The wave rush in
To crash upon a rock
Even now as it withdraws
Another wave surges forth
To scream and scratch
The surface of the rock

Harken!
If not for flesh
If not for soul
If not for blood
Then for God.
If not for soul
If not for blood
Then for God.

Entitled
What is it about the world
that leaves you so conflicted?
why is your tone
pale as bone?
Glance at this man
who suffers the burden
of the misery you make
all too real.
Does the world pay for your dreams
and refunds your nightmares?
Where the source
of your endless sorrow?
Is summer too hot,
winter too cold?
Perhaps the rain is too wet,
and the heat is too warm?
Or
are you just spineless, ...
that leaves you so conflicted?
why is your tone
pale as bone?
Glance at this man
who suffers the burden
of the misery you make
all too real.
Does the world pay for your dreams
and refunds your nightmares?
Where the source
of your endless sorrow?
Is summer too hot,
winter too cold?
Perhaps the rain is too wet,
and the heat is too warm?
Or
are you just spineless, ...

Flirt
Beware—-
The feelings walking
Or running in your chest
In a rhythm morphing
Into a hypnotic dance
Intoxicating—-
You are not numb
No
You are soft and caring
The gummy bear
The marshmallow pillow
Beware—-
The speed of intent
One moment cold calculating
The next all guns gone a-blazing
Ecstasy
Craving
To be touched, teased
To be pinched, pushed around
In a seductive way
In a kind, gentle way
Beware—-
What...
The feelings walking
Or running in your chest
In a rhythm morphing
Into a hypnotic dance
Intoxicating—-
You are not numb
No
You are soft and caring
The gummy bear
The marshmallow pillow
Beware—-
The speed of intent
One moment cold calculating
The next all guns gone a-blazing
Ecstasy
Craving
To be touched, teased
To be pinched, pushed around
In a seductive way
In a kind, gentle way
Beware—-
What...

Jester in penumnbra
You think me a coward,
a jester- a man- profoundly wayward
in the dark arts lacking paths
unnumbered by you and all the elders
like the nomads guarding caves
and the sinners taunting saints
hidden from the unseeing eye
Sta in umbra I
One day soon we will correct you;
carpe noctem and come for you
a jester- a man- profoundly wayward
in the dark arts lacking paths
unnumbered by you and all the elders
like the nomads guarding caves
and the sinners taunting saints
hidden from the unseeing eye
Sta in umbra I
One day soon we will correct you;
carpe noctem and come for you

Fixity
Like a caught breath
that never again lets out,
I will love you
through the hurt.
I hope this smile I practice
will hide my pain
as ocean waters mask
tears of the dolphins
that never again lets out,
I will love you
through the hurt.
I hope this smile I practice
will hide my pain
as ocean waters mask
tears of the dolphins

Civility
You were the constant
In that equation
Now you are the x
That seeks to question
The end of our wondrous affair
Remember the day
Remember the occasion
You struggled with guilt
Then forgot to mention
The solemn promise between you and I
‘You are the sky...
‘Everything else is just weather.’
You said. And I swore
Then to never falter
In loving you purely,
No matter the weather
...

Nocturnal
A crime!
To be assaulted at morn, by suspicious gazing that knocks irritably on my yawning heart
My soft pillow, my feather bed
My down curtains silently ushering
The sun ray away
What you saw is yours to see
What you retain is yours to keep
Leave us be
for with every blink
I feel the roar of armies coming,
I hear the weight of the world lifting
With every blink.
Leave us be, let us sleep
My yawning heart, my soft pillow
My feather bed and me-
No, not now, not my gallant curtain,
Let it dance to...

It Matters Little
it matters little
whether you are here beside me
or a thousand miles away
I can't get enough of you;
I know this in my heart
like thirst, my wanting you
leaves my beating heart desert dry
craving your presence-
here....
now...
and yet
because I know i am powerless to resist
the return of a thirst temporarily quenched,
I know too then
that I can never get enough of you
so, my love, it matters little
whether you are here
or a thousand miles away
below a roof...
whether you are here beside me
or a thousand miles away
I can't get enough of you;
I know this in my heart
like thirst, my wanting you
leaves my beating heart desert dry
craving your presence-
here....
now...

Bye
stereotyped- scarred for life stigmata
but still a man has to get his dollar
dive deep in the murky water
of service and humility,
sailors know that's where the jewelry is
and Life's gems- and Life's treasures-
and Death's life- and Death's pleasures-
so be fearless, no second thought is needed-
you should know your soul is eternally
bound to a life in... in... infinity....
...
why fear a look down
just ignore their frowns, they're clowns-
they know the dirt comes off
they know you are strong,
you...

I Float
I float
Unlike a butterfly-
No
Like a character
Overwhelmed by the drama
That is life
I wander
In search of innocence;
The show too gory
The path too soiled
From its very beginning
Life-
Numbered
And cast aside
I am
Just another leaf in Autumn's wind
I float
Unlike a butterfly
But like a lone wanderer lost
In a world too vast
To fully understand
Deaf to Gravity's eery call
I walked lightly upon the earth
...

Reality Check
I used to look around for subtle changes that were consistent with my belief that God leaves signs for me in mysterious forms. Also, in tail-addition to that, I used to think people go through great lengths to achieve genius-levels of subtlety in communicating with my humble self.
Now I think my curiosity arrogant at best and I think I am insignificant in the grand scheme of things and I think those I love simply just don't care about me at all
