Grass is a taut crew;
Grass is a taut crew;
They stand at attention
As soldiers do
With orders from the sun –
Never having thoughts
That their purpose is trite
Or any doubts.
Each is a cosmopolite
Of their colonnade.
How exemplary –
I whispered to one blade –
To live as thee.
They stand at attention
As soldiers do
With orders from the sun –
Never having thoughts
That their purpose is trite
Or any doubts.
Each is a cosmopolite
Of their colonnade.
How exemplary –
I whispered to one blade –
To live as thee.

thoughts percolate...
my heart wants to believe the best of others
but my mind...
holds a catalogue in memory
having borne witness to evidence
entirely to the contrary
& heart views a glass half full
mind sees it half empty
in truth...
it bears the same contents
it is...what it is
as a feather
plucked from a wing
no longer capable of flight
left merely to drift
near weightless
at the mercy of a current
such is the wandering of my thoughts
where heart sighs
& minds flinches
because we...

Explosion Clouds
Looking at the explosion clouds.
There is a complete void of sound.
The September trees
are diminishing green,
in their lazy lean.
We are not just alive,
to satisfy hungers.
To examine bruised blunders.
Nature satisfies us too.
Bombs of peace in a sky cornflower blue.
There is a complete void of sound.
The September trees

in their lazy lean.
We are not just alive,

SUBCONSCIOUS INNER SKETCHINGS BEYOND THE VEILS OF MASKLESS TIME (4:00am, 8-17-2001; Galveston Island, Texas)
stirred up from out of
stone deep sleep
i suddenly find myself
somewhere between
still half asleep
and half awake
stumbling through
three rooms of darkness
to quench my body s
inner call of thirst
which lured me up
from out of my now already
unremembered dreams
into this present limbo
of silent blankness
everywhere all around me
with my eyes still lightly closed
my bare feet carefully feel
each softly carpeted step
as i make my braille like way
through this nocturnal darkness
externally...

You Know I'm Right
I was waiting at a bus stop
This guy yelled some derogatory shit at me from his car
I shot him twice and ran back home
That was three years ago
I think I'm safe now
I used to be real paranoid about the whole thing as you can expect
I used to have dreams about the pigs coming into my room and hauling me off to prison
Nothing ever happened
Looking back at it now, I feel ok about it
I didn't know the guy, so I really don't care
I used to think that there was something wrong with me because I didn't feel guilty about it
You do what...

Sweetest mistake
Adjusting to the environment of greed and pride
I opened my arms to embrace everything as it is
Hoping my dreams would come true and my wings would open wide
Yet ive made alot of things that even i would puke
Ive taken every opportunity you even couldnt fathom
Though these mistakes are horrible as it looks
I would never forget for it is these things that made me
what i am
and these things gave me the foundation of what i am today
for these Sweetest mistakes made a better future of my every tomorrow.

King of Humility
Grateful coasting immaculate early dawn morning currents
gingerly blown wayward on daily life routines
Aloft to powerful graphic roars of hot air balloon thoughts
in colorful regal daybreak scenes serene
Gazing across magnificent woven wicker basket
beyond to dark volatile horizons cloaked in hunger of light
Days before easy living cursed livid night
wreak circumstance of sore scab estrange fights
Under siege walking familiar fog of destructive brimstone
carnivorous blades reign storms from foe
As bleak jagged paths on soles no one wished ...
gingerly blown wayward on daily life routines
Aloft to powerful graphic roars of hot air balloon thoughts
in colorful regal daybreak scenes serene
Gazing across magnificent woven wicker basket
beyond to dark volatile horizons cloaked in hunger of light
Days before easy living cursed livid night
wreak circumstance of sore scab estrange fights
Under siege walking familiar fog of destructive brimstone
carnivorous blades reign storms from foe
As bleak jagged paths on soles no one wished ...

The Girl of Your Nightmares
She is often described as wicked,
all because, well she’s “different.”
She’s fond of the nighttime
and the color black,
but it doesn’t mean she’s evil,
cut the girl some slack.
She looks unapproachable
she wears a mean look on her face,
like she would take your soul,
or put bitches in their place.
But she’s actually quite pleasant,
if you took the time to get to know her.
Instead of judge her from afar,
or give her the cold shoulder.
Her laugh is infectious,
her eyes are hypnotic....
all because, well she’s “different.”
She’s fond of the nighttime

But she’s actually quite pleasant,

or give her the cold shoulder.

if i were a sims character....
if i were a sims character, my main aspiration would ultimately be- "Bestselling Author" due to my outlet with poetry:
my three main traits assigned to me initially would have to be loner, socially akward, and foodie;
perhaps one may suggest the trait "creative" but I often critic the level of my overall "creativity"- i honestly believe between those traits listed above- it shouldn't make top three....
alot of my time is spent alone- that social meter would slowly but surely...

Existing
What’s it like to just relax and BE?
To not always worry what ‘they’ want to see?
I’ve shape-shifted so much, I don’t recognize me.
Do I even exist?
Connection only comes through terms and conditions.
Don’t upset, don’t anger, don’t raise 'their' suspicions.
Dismissal will follow if you voice your ambitions,
so pretend they don’t exist.
I’ve spent all my energy just being acceptable.
To ‘their’ disapproval I’m over-susceptible.
My own wants and needs are imperceptible.
Do they even...

Balancing Act
Is one
Considering
The consequences
Loseing one's grip
On one's life
On reality
One finds it hard
To avoid
Because one now
Has the knowledge
Where before
One just had the sense
Somethings Wrong
And it hurts
Knowing
You have to breathe
Or not
In this reality
That's False
As you decide
To let go
Of your Tightrope
Or Not
Considering
The consequences
Loseing one's grip
On one's life
On reality
One finds it hard
To avoid
Because one now
Has the knowledge
Where before
One just had the sense
Somethings Wrong
And it hurts
Knowing
You have to breathe
Or not
In this reality
That's False
As you decide
To let go
Of your Tightrope
