Human nature
As humans we long to find love and affection,
Wandering lost, w no sense of direction .
So many lost souls, but no 2 are the same ,
And most people these days are all pretty lame.
Some how on the inside, I've been losing my mind. But reality is something im not trying to find.
Its all very stupid if ull look at the facts.
Just shut up for a minute, sit down and relax.
Life is so short and the time just flies by.
Father time is the pilot so I assume he gets high.
They say you'll get good things if your willing to wait ,
But...

The Man
There once was a man
Wish dashing good looks,
And a charm so disarming
He got ahead in life
Without the help of books.
Just a smile here,
A compliment there…
But behind it all
Please beware.
He was a ladies man
And he “loved” them all
One by one they’d flock
And one by one they’d fall.
Into his deep ocean
The one swarming with lies…
And like a shark,
He’d swallow them whole,
Leading them directly to their demise.
Years go by,
He’s still up to his tricks.
His hair is graying...
Wish dashing good looks,
And a charm so disarming
He got ahead in life
Without the help of books.
Just a smile here,
A compliment there…
But behind it all
Please beware.
He was a ladies man
And he “loved” them all
One by one they’d flock
And one by one they’d fall.
Into his deep ocean
The one swarming with lies…
And like a shark,
He’d swallow them whole,
Leading them directly to their demise.
Years go by,
He’s still up to his tricks.
His hair is graying...

I hope you think of me kindly when you come for my things
I don't believe in a god,
but when I am begging for him to save me,
it is your name that falls from my lips.
but when I am begging for him to save me,
it is your name that falls from my lips.

The mouth, a violent thing
The mouth, Osho claims to be a violent thing,
Keeping busy- the moving, talking, chewing
And yes, I do know what you are saying
Yet I wanted to ask if you heard the humming
Much farther down beneath all words,
A motor awake, and unmoving
An example of something
Not quite quiet but benevolent
Much like waves cascading,
Or water falling upon soft forest floor,
Remaining still beyond the always doing
Endless smashing, chewing...
Distractingly sorting unsorted meanings...
Keeping busy- the moving, talking, chewing
And yes, I do know what you are saying
Yet I wanted to ask if you heard the humming
Much farther down beneath all words,
A motor awake, and unmoving
An example of something
Not quite quiet but benevolent
Much like waves cascading,
Or water falling upon soft forest floor,
Remaining still beyond the always doing
Endless smashing, chewing...
Distractingly sorting unsorted meanings...

On a Weekday in Winter, Waiting
I am that glimmer on a frigid window
Through which, as the evening creeps, a bloodless sun can be seen
Slumping, as per routine, against an assemblage of begrimed bricks, concrete,
And trees that, despite their barrenness, continue to coyly undress.
Oppositely, too, there is a stale clump of sheets,
Stuck together in certain spots,
Swallowing a pair of sallow arms that pointlessly pillow a wonted vacancy,
Coiling around the legs that spread across the threadbare mattress,
And dangle low, laden with a nebulous and
Perpetually unfulfilled wanting. ...

WHEN I THINK OF YOU
A moon rises within it's slow glowing surge;
the tide recedes from the wet sand’s glimmer.
The cares of the day have begun to simmer;
and my weary mind upon me begins to purge.
The morning trees dance in meadows with dew;
as the sun rays shines in eyes awoken blurred.
Life unfolds a new calendar page that's turned;
these and all other moments I'm thinking of you.
the tide recedes from the wet sand’s glimmer.
The cares of the day have begun to simmer;
and my weary mind upon me begins to purge.
The morning trees dance in meadows with dew;
as the sun rays shines in eyes awoken blurred.
Life unfolds a new calendar page that's turned;
these and all other moments I'm thinking of you.

Loneliness Is More Hazardous to Your Health Than Obesity or Smoking
This isn't a story or a poem. This is real life. I'm writing this because many friends and family members I know are suffering. This problem has become drastically worse since 2020. We all know why...
Loneliness plays a role in many chronic health conditions, including pain, drug or alcohol abuse and depression. Recent studies have linked loneliness to an increased risk for Alzheimer's disease, heart attack and stroke, and lower survival rates for breast cancer patients. Studies have also shown that people who are lonely are more likely to experience:

Sails the Lonely Ship
From a land I was exiled
I sail on,
Forevermore
Who will guide me now?
The sun never rises
Beyond the stars,
Unknown
Ploughing through angry waves
cold winds blow
ice forming on the mast
Desperate
Memories of loved ones fading away
Children grow & die
Who will remember or accept me
Discarded
Waiting to die.
I sail on,

Self Harm
I texted my ex at midnight again. She didn't reply again. But that's fine I'll wait a few weeks and try again.
I just binged Bojack Horseman. I put the "That's Too Much, Man!" episode on loop. The sinking gut feeling I get from it leaves a sweet and sour taste in my mouth.
I just prayed for my sick brother. He doesn't answer and my brother doesn't any feel better. But that's okay I like the anxiety that comes with hope.
I don't cut my wrists. I don't like drama. I just constantly stare seductively at the packs of Procold in my bag.
If I'm...

Returning Home
Feel like a stranger
So many years have gone by
Where does this leave me?

Remember
These memories left their impression
Molding me into this personality
—This version of myself
Defining my humanity
Some are powerful, and yet quite fickle
Vivid, detailed echos
Nostalgic call and response
Casts a grin from ear to ear, as I once did
Others macabre, sorrowful;
Remembrances of painful moments
Soul-crushing heartbreaks
Remorseful regrets
Two sides of the same coin
In a coin-purse of emotions
Those I wish to forget
Ones I never can
Many are inherited,
Passing the torch of...
