Mirroring My Reflection
I've never been more comfortable with who I am, than I am right now.
But sometimes I see the reflection in the mirror, and wonder just who is looking back at me.
The hair dyed brown, and the natural brown roots growing, are starting to blend seamlessly.
Im not sure where I start, or where she ends, but just a glance and I can tell we are not one in the same.
Maybe on the good days where my back isn't hunched over with pain, when I'm standing at my tallest.
That's me, I'm sure of it.
Only because my momma always told me I was the most curious and courageous...

Perception Inception
Is It Gestalt At Fault When I Perceive
More Than I Should Believe To Be True ?
The Sum Of Thought Feral , More To It's Peril
Animates And Captivates When One Relates
And Questions The Obsession Of What Is Who
And Thus All The Fuss Revealed To Those Of Us
Who Would So Discuss Without Absent Disgust
What Is Or Is Not In Ink Blot Most Likely Viewed

Mirror
Looking at the mirror
Tell me what you see
Is it a chance that slipped away?
Drawing you from me...
Destiny is an illusion
Invented to reflect the light
Have the cake and eat it too?
Make believe endings seem just right
Souls are meant to mate
Love is meant to give
You had it all along
But blindness fought to live
I lightly touched the mirror
As you leaned in to take a look
I Pressed my face against the glass
Because my memory is all you took
Always here...going nowhere
I watched you...
Tell me what you see
Is it a chance that slipped away?
Drawing you from me...
Destiny is an illusion
Invented to reflect the light
Have the cake and eat it too?
Make believe endings seem just right
Souls are meant to mate
Love is meant to give
You had it all along
But blindness fought to live
I lightly touched the mirror
As you leaned in to take a look
I Pressed my face against the glass
Because my memory is all you took
Always here...going nowhere
I watched you...

The Prospect Behind Us
Like a pantomime villain
Or hooded mugger
Our future is behind us
Creeping up unseen
Beladen with chickens
Coming home to roost
Bulging briefcases of dog-eared
Accounts to be reckoned with
Beneficent sacks of serendipity
And whatever's coming to us.
Whichever direction we look in
The traumatic thaumaturge
Is always behind us
Whilst would-be meddlers
In history's melodramas
Scream hysterical indecipherable caveats
As our befuddled faces peer.
It has no reflection in life's rear view mirror
And...
Or hooded mugger
Our future is behind us
Creeping up unseen
Beladen with chickens
Coming home to roost
Bulging briefcases of dog-eared
Accounts to be reckoned with
Beneficent sacks of serendipity
And whatever's coming to us.
Whichever direction we look in
The traumatic thaumaturge
Is always behind us
Whilst would-be meddlers
In history's melodramas

As our befuddled faces peer.
It has no reflection in life's rear view mirror

One man
A man tells a story
A man lives his life
A man looks for glory
A man becomes a knight
A man tells a secret
A man never known
A man is defeated
A man lost his soul
On a train to his fortune
On a ride to the gold
The mission is important
So he starts to grow
Darkness will reign
Light begins to die
Nothing the same
No matter what he tried
A man in the mirror
Darkness vs light
Battle getting nearer
Nowhere to run or hide
Angels fly above
Demons down below ...

Brain Train Change Rearrange
Riveting Positioning Pivoting Between Dimensions
Abstention From Ascension Let Me Just Mention
Signaling You Found Interesting Only Prevention
Reject Neglect Infect Of Crippling Thought Retention
I Got Words To Hear Never Fear Reach Your Ears
Spoken Clear Burn And Sear High Gear Far And Near
So Sincere Bio Engineer Disappear In Cerebral Sphere
Evolution Revolution Premiere Mind Frame Atmosphere

A Poet Flows It So One May Know It
With Wit Writ Mind Bit Brain Lit
Lips Slit Word Spit No Hypocrite
Soul Bared And Not Yet Scared
I Be Aware And Still Care No Shit
Earn The Burn In Hell's Pit Writ
Where You Sit So Potent Won't It
Ensnared Dared To Thread Knit
Ventured Not Indentured Free Of It
Lips Slit Word Spit No Hypocrite
Soul Bared And Not Yet Scared

If I May Be So Bold To State A Future Foretold
The Ways Of The Maze With A Wormhole Fold
Labyrinth Thread With No End Held And Read
Some Brought To Life And Some Just Left Dead
Better Letter Signed In Blood Chain And Fetter
Skeletal Script In Crypt With Runic Tunic Is Better

She's A Maniac
No cause
No effect
Flat affect
Zero conscience
Not conscious
Total disconnect
Simple refraction
Broken reflection
Fragment attack
Decimate
Devestate
Lay to waste
Cut and paste
This fated
Maniac
Come along
All alone
Full atoned
Willfull maybe
Sinful baby
Twilight zone
Never tired
Always wired
Burnout eyes
Eradicate
Exterminate
Extirpate
Antiquate
This faded
Maniac

A man #2 of 30
A man looks at himself in the mirror
He sees a broken man with a broken heart
He thinks about the things he has done
The man realizes he broke them apart
A man wishes he could change his ways
He knows he has made a lot of mistakes
He dreams of becoming something more
The man is alone and never awakes
A man becomes depressed deep inside
He remembers all the pain he inflicted
He begins to hate who he truly is
The man looks at his life he had restricted
A man is destroyed by anger within
He is lost deep inside...
He sees a broken man with a broken heart
He thinks about the things he has done
The man realizes he broke them apart
A man wishes he could change his ways
He knows he has made a lot of mistakes
He dreams of becoming something more
The man is alone and never awakes
A man becomes depressed deep inside
He remembers all the pain he inflicted
He begins to hate who he truly is
The man looks at his life he had restricted
A man is destroyed by anger within
He is lost deep inside...

The Heir Apparent Part III
Wallowing in the mire, inhaling the night
It sanctifies an unsettled, mystified sight
Cleansing the heart of the plea it dreads
Worshiping the ground that strife treads
Trembling fears shake a weak foundation
Shivers come to grips with a growing debt
It sweats out concerns of a nagging regret
The quivering reminds us of its stagnation
A winding road of heavy burdens is near
On the cusp of its destiny's final descent
The reckoning of its commitment is here
It prepares to feel it to the fullest extent
Heeding the...

It's my life
I'm tired of being told what to do
I'm tired of all the hate
You don't know what I've been through
Don't tell me to sit and wait
I'm told I'm insane
I'm told I don't know how I feel
I'm told that I fake pain
I'm told that none of it is real
Why do people expect me to fail
Why can't they see the good in me
Why have you closed the trail
Why won't you let me be
My problem isn't about my journey
It isn't about my destination
It isn't about if you had heard me
It's stuck in endless restoration
...
