My Way Or The Highway!
Walk with me
Speak to me
Sleep with me
Moments with me
Love & adore me
No! You can't live with me
Tough!
Not happening
Yes we love each other,
but my space & freedom I love a whole lot more
Take some time
Grasp what I just cited
You can still come over
But only if you're invited
If you don't like the idea
Awesome!, you can move on
My way or the highway
Once were through, you're gone....forever
Speak to me
Sleep with me
Moments with me
Love & adore me
No! You can't live with me
Tough!
Not happening
Yes we love each other,
but my space & freedom I love a whole lot more
Take some time
Grasp what I just cited
You can still come over
But only if you're invited
If you don't like the idea
Awesome!, you can move on
My way or the highway
Once were through, you're gone....forever

a real honest conversation....
the idea of.... everlasting peace.... time being nothing more than a concept.... knowing.... what it feels to be "loved" truly, deeply, intimately, reciprocation on both sides with ease....
when nothing feels like a sacrifice.... where on "earth" could that be? it's unusually beyond belief.... ego always leads....
"love yourself...." , "they say"; i mean-after all-alone you were conceived- and alone you will decease.... what else do people say? "nothing worth having comes easy...." ...

I wish....things were that simplistic(mental health)
I appreciate the good of this "experience" but there's too many "worldly" complications; some of my vices are escapism, idealism, internalization, suicidal ideation; I dread being an extension of this creation....
contemplating; "rational exit doors"-though guarded-gated-hard to reach places-takes too much patience; truthfully-one deeply feels low-key high-risk-with the exception being nontraumatic situations....
I wish things in this life where simple.... where there's little to no need...

ejected tape in DVD and stream era
Death.... Life.... one's somewhere in between; when it rains it pours, the words distort and the ink on paper bleeds; life's much like the Olympics- required to master the balance beam; I'd always automatically choose the junk food and ice cream
I'd rather die inside my sleep while dreaming blissful dreams- than waking up in this limbo land that they call "reality "

"happy place"
a "fireplace" needs logs to stay lit; a train needs coal.... people need.... so much....
sometimes one closes one's eyes and have interesting dreams.... most times one prefers to simply be in deep sleep.... other dreams are random.... other dreams are inconvenient....
but in one's, "awakened" state- one just wants to find and stay in one's happy place away from everything outside of one's bubble.... overrated "reality"....
one has to board one's "private plane" alone- to escape life's...

collage of dreams
half & half- lemonade-iced tea; roaming one plane of existence but yet so many- it's fair to say one believes that one's wide eyed while at the same time in a deep sleep-
where one is- versus where one really wants or feels one's being needs to be-(which would be finally on a "fixed" plane as opposed to knee deep in a collage of many dreams-
dreams- like a script before one ever made the scene- one's got a suit one wants returned but it came with no receipt-
this vehicle- driven.... only to fly up off the...

Shedding our textiles — with Adagio
Virgin husk, masking nothing but regard
Modest skin, curves like whispers
Wordless idle; endowment in flair
Nude lines no linens shall veil
And in silence, inuendoes have failed
Modesty has but our wings to sail
Shedding our textiles to prevail
Modest skin, curves like whispers
Wordless idle; endowment in flair
Nude lines no linens shall veil
And in silence, inuendoes have failed
Modesty has but our wings to sail
Shedding our textiles to prevail

the glitz, the glamour, the rabbit hole
glorified enclosures- everywhere there's "exposure"- a more or less comfortable road on "death row"- many potential "last meals" and poisons of choice one has chosen-
the ones' who speak about "mark of the beast" we've obviously been here many centuries already since before one's even been a thought of being conceived despite "wonderful" beliefs-
"Game Over"- from the Start- a series of Finishes- on the way to the End.... the glitz, the glamour, the rabbit hole-

I go
to a sandstone cliff
above human turmoil
frail and strong-willed
to a cave mouth on the rock face
trees and clouds unknowable aschelminthes
exhausted body
quiet mind.

My Beloved Consumer
Asphyxiation becomes you, like unto a vacuum
Always sucking, never consuming enough
Always consuming the air of we in your circle
There are no pills, no cure
Because you are not sick
There is nothing in your toolbox
Rusting there for you to fix
What you think is not broken
I moaned for you when consequence had no remedy
I tried to believe your didactic charms. Honestly
I still don’t know if this is all my fault
Even though they tell me it is not
They say to put on your own oxygen mask
Before assisting...

Land of The Moon Shadows
I'm in my bedroom
Unwilling to sleep
An something wakes inside
ancient primordial
Shout, a plea.
I glance at my window
The pull is stronger there.
I need an escape
From life's future wears.
I slip on some shoes
The colors melt.
I step outside,
The cards yet to be delt.
Each diamond,
Too prettily crafted
For human eye.
But I get to see,
Them all
In the sky
Shining
Like the colors of you.
Colors of everyone
Of everything
Being this free
makes me...

Continental Drift("soul tribe")
isolation doesn't have to happen- though unfortunately happens in nature.... for one reason or another- by choice or otherwise due to the state of ones' environment....
you shouldn't have to feel like a "blacksheep" or misunderstood in any way.... you shouldn't have to feel like you'll feel lonely for the rest of your life....
us humans always overcomplicate everything....
