Can’t sleep as usual, mind full of racing thoughts
Scattered and unusable, but I must connect dots
Dreams are delusional, paralyzed stomach knots
Life is quite amusable, eternal electric Alan Watts

Searching for meaning in this forever fleeting
Deceiving the future and constantly competing
Passed last stop for gas running late for meeting
Presently stuck in a moment and it’s so defeating

So what do you do?

Well… I change my tone to match the question and try and avoid the slightest detection of my macro case of dereliction by trying to fit into this new unnatural selection.  How about you?

Oh me…. I’m an administrative associate’s assistant advisor to the senor executive director of advanced growth and analytics but….

In my free time I also dabble as a life coach consultant and a freelance enthusiast, who doubles as a self loathing soothsayer who’s also exultant towards psychic’s and any genie’s wish and I pose as a ******.. analyst just to credibly prognosticate the general gist of horror scopes…I know it all sounds pretty… prophetic, but I always act humble and keep it 100 % copacetic

So if you’re making a list, wondering where all your time went, or just one of my many haters

Go ahead and get ******… later, because I’m also the president of the meetup group for ……Procrastinators.
Whenever works for you, just let me know so we can reschedule.

Night it Up
Drifton A Way Aug 2023
Another sunset tries to survive, as it drifts beneath the earth and dies

The dreary dawn awaits for it's alter ego to stumble through the night
In theory gone, she baits the line, and casts our soul into another fight
A leery pawn, a game of fates, it's time to know, what feels just right
An eerie yawn, opens the gates, the perfect dream walks into the light

The sunrise comes with haunting cries, shining down on tearful eyes
Darkened skies remind last night's broken promises are Today's lies

Thieving Gray clouds shade the grounds as my head pounds and Throbs
Weaving Stray crowds of worried rats scurried about chaotically to Jobs
Leaving an unbearably noxious musk wafting throughout the surly Mobs
Deceiving another day until the dusk comes lofting like a thief and Robs

The morning's glory, came and went, and not a moment too soon
The mayhem and the havoc hellbent, clamoring to stay high noon
Tensed sheople just making life's rent, until the stars begin to croon
Incensed at the blanket time we spent, chasing the tranquil moon
It's too bright and hot out there, global cooling anyone? Biodome perhaps? Aliens please save us.

They Say
Drifton A Way Jun 2023
Ignorance is ****
In the wind
However, it changes direction
Again, and again

A wish, a whirl
A kiss, on the pearl

Polished perfectly for years
To ***, distracting all fears
Like a drum rumbling from the Woulds
**** the If’s, ****, leave the Coulds

Luck like a Lady, and the maybe Shoulds
Spike dope a meanly cost of doing Goods
Do they though?
Drifton A Way Feb 2023
As the lively daze begins to sway its way into those grimy dark nights
Shivers commence along thy spine, as the grey guide, gifts you lights
Just another phase, as you lay claims to new serene dreams and sights
The ghostly fence of fog, a faint veil fading away nocturnal red flights

The Streets lie empty healing from sapiens seeping into their cracks
The Beats pound the town, scarring until sun down, stabbing backs
The corner eye, shall always spy as to why, pondering absolute facts
The foreigner wanders around a strange land abound by what it lacks

Blind Willie Johnson etched in time hurtling eternity through space
Dark is the night, and all is silent as untold stories float with grace
Divine justice arrives supremely sublime ready to look into the face
Spark of yellow light, illuminates the drive to the final resting place

Just a passenger in other's lives, spectacularly haunting wet dreams
The perfect night and memory, a spectacle of championship teams
A bachelor of the universe, a specter meant to drift among the earth
Savor that last bite, tranquility's spectrum, the vastly unseen worth
Maybe it's never been Maybelline?

Illegally Blinding
Drifton A Way Feb 2023
Fortune ate the last bite and did us all a favor
A portion meant, a last rite, take time to savor
A moment spent,fleeting bliss,epitome of flavor
A sin to repent, one more kiss, sign the waiver

For never more, a mind so poetically controlled
Forced to abhor, seek revenge, a heart so cold
Free Folklore, one kind soul, sadly bargain sold
Found lost ashore, wash, binge, have and hold

Yes life is tough, but we play cards we’re dealt
Free will to bluff, beware lessons leave a welt
Improv off the cuff, words can make ‘em melt
Don’t forget rough times, broken down to felt

Empathy is the key to unlock all of humanity
Where once you were blind, now you can see
Not only is it not you, but a projection of me
Reflection’s of thee eternally free collective WE
Drifton A Way Oct 2022
I’m a Dog let out the yard going full gung ***
Like HapPenis is hard, where you wanna go?
Chase your twin flame soul an do the research
Dinosauring through the hole,birdodg on perch

The Mountain top song has never been sang
So stand tall like Lurch,ask the universal rang
Let it rain like King Kong, ******* in the wind
Donating organs in Church, unorginally sinned

Akin to Cain or if your Able then begin again
Return to sendher to the stable, it ain’t broken
Thank god, for this bountiful table, hey men
She just lost her label, alert the next of kin

Biblically speaking I believe they all dig karma
Blasphemous seeking, pill popping big pharma
We just need the escape,heavy-binded by fear
It’s Superman’s cape! Heaven is blinding HERE

Close your eyes and just meditate
Absolve your lies it’s not too late
But once you do try to open your mind
You’ll ask not why, but be One and kind
Shake off that repugnant rust, and embrace the euphoric crystallized spacedust, it feels like love but looks like lust, fits like a glove and where we’re going,  it’s a must.
Drifton A Way Sep 2022
It’s not just the pursuit
But the chance of failing
Just like a parachute,
Soul carcass hurtling toward earth
With arms flailing
Like having a dispute
With an all of the sudden insignificant other
On a train suddenly derailing
It’s a witches trial
A ****** hile
Or the devil’s smile
As they **** you with kindness
Preying on the praying mind’s mess
Preaching ignorant blindness
As the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria go sailing
Right up to your hut door
The peace you once knew before
Swiftly taken like Vlad’s impaling
But before my soul dips and attempts bailing
I’ll haunt you like the most vicious ghost
**** with your appliances and burn your toast
Get your lighthouse keeper sauced and tossed
On the fog ridden lost Coast
As you decide which Genocide
That you side with the Most
Some people need sleep, some sleople eat sheep, count them while they weep, let’s make a deal, instead of dead baby cow, we’ll call it veal, see that euphemistic way of speaking just seals the appeal like a wild safari **** just got real, don’t call it fried dead squid we’re eating calamari that way everybody gets to enjoy the party.

Drifton A Way Aug 2022
You never know until you go
Fear of the enigmatic mystery
And so you’ll choose to wait

Epiphany streams, a serene flow  
Capture peace and embark free
Reflections reveal, it’s not too late

Ensconced in the shimmering Afterglow
Wide open third eye begins to finally See
Merrily gliding dreams floating into fate

High up on the precipice gazing down below
Eternally one with the universal hum, just Bee
Buzzing all the way to the day of heaven’s gate
So I’ll Ineventurer

Your Last Night
Drifton A Way Jun 2022
An Inevitable Metamorphose sized type of night
Change- the Prognosis in forever’s constant sight
Undeniably we try as we may and go on to fight
But what’s the alternative? To turn out the light?

Tom Bodet once said he’d leave the light on
But I fret about the dark once Tom is gone
And I bet his eternal soul will rest on five stars
No more motel six lies and flies from the bars

An epiphany once whispered to me her last right
She said once she’s dead you’ll be all out of spite
Hyper aware I choose now to channel and write
Prove you care to the momental very last night

I Encapsulate all my closure and try to meditate
I cannot wait for composure in the face of fate
Empty plate, full of sorrow, but everybody’s ate
Procrastinate again tomorrow before it’s too late
Just a little catharsis for the starts of the sharts and riddles laughing with the Paul Blarts and the minor parts of life’s ridiculously caught in betweens  and middles.

Diary of the Sol
Drifton A Way May 2022
Eternal chaos of day, strangled out by the night
Heads on their beds, as the owl just takes flight
The street’s heart beat, hums tranquilly just right
Tomorrow hates today,  forever jealous first light

I might burn bright
but without me we’d all be surely dead
So when you lose sight
Remember everything that I’ve ever said

Things weren’t always this way
I used to care, I had an immaculate companion
Until the galaxy made us stray
My heart’s bare, desolate as the deepest canyon

You can Stare at me but at your own peril
You could never see, and were always feral
A disaster pair like we, two fish in a barrel
What could never be, shooting blanks, sterile

You see me as yellow, but it’s only an illusion
Trying to stay mellow, on this new clear fusion
A rare cosmic loner, but you’ll see someday soon
There is no donor, not even your precious moon

Solar flare upset your ozone, ice caps melting
Polar bear regret, all alone, thinking of moving
Poker dare, bet all in, the white dwarf felting
Choker air, let the sin, begin to morph approving

As a new spawn rises, checking night’s defiance
A collective yawn surmises, on our true reliance
A plea for an extension, I pray we stay compliant
Humanities apprehension, dawn of the red giant
If they swim south, will they change their names? Promise them a free Coca Cola and a toothless smile and they’re in.

Trip Me Out
Drifton A Way Dec 2021
I’m finally back on track just like Jack Kerouac

The open road goes wherever the wind blows

And who knows, where each tributary flows

Its all turnkey, wake up to find another journey

Sleep when we’re deceased, too much to see

Keep your hair greased and always stay ready

A potential future memory with every moment

Thee sacred open road, my voluntary enrollment
Drifton A Way Aug 2021
While we are still here, coherent as it seems
And our majestic flesh vessels mold dreams
We may as well explore all necessary memes

Trivial things, can lead to tributary life streams
Create while we can steer, and embrace teams
Before once again manipulating cosmic seams

Tap into the universal solitude that is posing as thee almighty illusion, we identify as time

And take it while you can, to treat yourself to that future planned trip, embrace the fun guy

Before your grandparents pass the dream dust on so eloquently, like mentors of the sublime

Chase the days, and hop amongst the grass
Cherish the nights, and reflect on the why?

Ponder all you can, remember this too shall pass
Experience learning lessons as the years drift by

So for NOW, maybe get up, and get off your ***
And teach the choice of joy for our tears to cry.

And may you slumber tranquilly in the shade beneath the perfect summer tree breezy fade

While your past and future argue over where they’re  headed and who’s more stressed

Be a cosmic wanderer who roams with the Gnomes knowing this kiss from god is blessed
The quietest most tranquil moment on earth is 3:33 am… hidden from the chaos on both sides you’re allowed to slip and slide straight into the pineal gland and depths of the divine mind

Merrily Life Stream
Drifton A Way Aug 2021
Utopia is but a fleeting dream as this life is more like a stream .. of…well, consciousness sure, but even when you pour out your soul into that stream, no matter what your essence is or theme, we are but reminded once again that….

We are all one through and through and to stop and breathe while you can. There’s always something else to do… until there’s not,

So exhale the anxieties you carry or temporarily got, like a giant cloud of ***, and let them bleed and careen  into a momentary dream within a dream of thought and question why anything and everything was even ever sought?
Those ideas and inspirations that just come to you in dreams so obscenely timed yet so serenely divine with recent soul transitions is quite a convenient coincidence isn’t it?

The Sour Milk Cow

The future wrote me a letter saying make a Vow
If you really want to get better start right Now
You must find the right space, I’ll show you How
Now slap yourself in the face,embrace pain’s Tao

Distractions of all kinds swarming like locusts
A plague upon all minds storming for focus
Your actions obscure words from the destination
A vague reenactment, herds of sheople inflation

Thy underdog reaps always coming from behind
As the rabbit sleeps, and the tortoise seeks to find
Victories and keeps the blinders on the full mind
As Aliveness leaps and bows down to life’s grind

Within us lies the kingdom of heaven and a soul
Yet we will deny the divine as we scroll and troll
Or perhaps our mind’s happen to finally be full
Collectively spitting in the face of Eckhart Tolle

My good old friend Delirium visits once again
He speaks...“maybe you’re just too tired to sleep”
I try to comprehend, scattered mind pigs in a pen
He speaks again “well maybe try to count sheep”

I dream of eating lamb chops in a wool sweater
On Icelandic waterfall tops, couldn’t be better
A siren’s song calls from behind the frigid falls
“Go to sleep lil baby”then she hands me a letter
“You’re my waterfall and I’ve never been wetter”

Pretty clever, but I seem to be stuck in between
This Endeavor is serene but is it real or a dream?
Confetti floats as Regis Philbin comes on screen
He yells “You won the Million” anddddd scene”

I wake to once again pilot this human avatar
Alien robots could be controlling me, but so far..
It’s been a good run, I’m shooting below par
Merely fireflies lighting up the skies in a big jar

To put a W in a Word that does not need or Want it seems Wrong
To trouble you, is absurd, but do pay heed to the lyrics of the song

Hickory flavored wood chips and barbecue basted Pig lips loosen the fishes hips that creep within the titanic's grips

Inspiration is but a dream like a hollywood action scene of caffeine Rushing through your bulky vein with a temporary plea of insane
Helping to free the creation grain to sprout an idea into Conception
To help us all just briefly feel like we may actually be the Exception.

Run on into the snowy Forrest like a sentence to get over the ****
**** happens along the way, but just keep moving like Mr. Gump
But you ain't got no legs you say how's this going to even Happen?

Envisioning the day and that pure feeling captured by Completing
I'm at the post apocalyptic book signing, chatting up fans, Greeting
All the new faces, places, fame, fortune, there's very limited Seating
No time to breathe, your fifteen minute dream is up, life is Fleeting

And then you awake, to find yourself at the back of a cargo ship
Cheap worldwide vacation cruise, where I'll focus and get a grip
Reality was never too good to me, just a meaningles radar's blip
Now I can finally focus and write that perfect script on this Trip

Drip...Drip....Drip...

Distractions creep in my mind, what's that smell? A familiar Stink
Deep penetrating pungent stench, a repugnant reminder to Think
Delve into the details, my eyes grow blurry, but before I can Blink
Dawn is gone, and darkness is upon us as the ship begins to Sink

Precious cargo plunging to the bottom of the sea, I clasp to a Crate
Driftng away, I cannot help but ponder if I've decided my own Fate
Always on the cusp, right on the brink, this time it may be too Late
Gazing into Dusk, falling asleep, the devil will never Procrastinate
Inspiration is but a dream like a hollywood action scene of caffeine rushing through your veins with a temporary plea of insane helping to free the creation grain to sprout an idea into conception and help us briefly feel like the Exception.

Dark Matters
Drifton A Way Oct 2020
Temptation lies, quietly in the deep darkness and she forever Blinds
Vacation tries, to distract our busy lives, but reality always Reminds
Elation, prize chasing, Oxytocin dosing, hunting all different Kinds
Separation ties anxiety from me, perpetually cutting attempted Binds
Stagnation, paralyze your hopes and dreams tainting treasured Finds

A humble Demon-Stration, that the ego sleeps, but never truly Dies
Even a sturdy Foundation,cracks and seeps with leaks down to Size
Self examined Exploitation,jumps and leaps, to look at me advertise
Here's an indirect Invitation, calling all creeps, what a big Surprise?
Guys DM slide, an Inflation of pride that keeps vanity on the Rise

Skies turn gray as hurricanes of Aggravation reign down Exhaust
Supplies never arrive as pains of Degradation echo the fateful Cost
Cries permeate the air like stains of Cremation, 7 billion lives Lost
Devise a plan to use our brains,a Generation of blurry lines Crossed
Eyes wide shut, search remains of Expiration within a nuclear Frost

We can only pray alien spies from a far off Constellation are Sent
And hope they arrive as allies with a high Vibration to Reinvent
We must abide to compromise and give their Vaccination Consent
And hopefully one of our wise gets a Translation of what's Meant
Also, we're a species that relies on threat of Damnation to Repent

Ground control to MySpace Tom, please advise on your Location
First stop was a moon base, such delicious pies, a true Revelation
Then we saw the Mars face, inside they baptize you in Information

Striving for an ascent

So really enjoy your next ****

Now I find myself at the great continental divide
I have only the pale, gray moonlight as my guide
Chasing a rumor, that the universe has never lied
Searching for inspiration, my pride and ego died
Unexpected fate always finds you, it’s true I tried

I camp under the stars and play connect the dots
Drifton a Way I dreamt all the best hidden spots

The Mayfly may die, but then what is truly living
Do they wonder why god wasn’t more forgiving?

I imagine them full of wit, the epitome of brevity
Keep it light, game to spit, the essence of Levity

They started from the bottom of a river bed floor
Greendrake been here since the ancient dinosaur

Shedding skin 20 times in just the last two years
Gazing at the great above, ignoring all the fears

Dreaming of the way somehow my wings spawn
Awakened and that day is now, my fateful dawn

Crawling about, Just can’t be breakfast for a trout
Swimming devout, holding my breath almost out

Aghast birds pout after hunting through the night
Alast my wings sprout and I'm ready to take flight

Majestic fluttering about, wondrous afternoon delight
Not one single doubt, as we fly higher toward the light

Love is literally in the air with our Prehistoric Dance
As Weather radars blare, noticing nature's Romance

Time is spent, not a care in the world, a passionate Trance
What it meant, to fly freely, giving life yet another Chance

No need to feed, we lived fast and our destiny died young
Life goal to breed, song's been sung, spring's finally sprung

The MayFly may die but it's story reminds us how to truly Live.
Wondering why, as it searches then finds the purpose is to Give.

Brimming bulbous clouds of coffee begin to burst
Dimming glinting crowds, quenching sin’s thirst
They waited so long, wondering if they’re cursed
Now a Caffeinated song, rains as joy is dispersed

Ideas are sparked,evolving epic indistinct chatter
Light was darked, but people are still just matter
Mathematical Molecules make up a matrix batter
They will modify our souls, just to make us fatter

The lazy are easier to control, like a worker bee
Just crawl back into your hole, and watch a TV
It’s a show about a raging bull, parting a Red Sea
The game’s fixed, horns are dull, illusion of free

The world has gone awry, only the corrupt lead
The poor wonder’s why, they continue to bleed
Economy at all time high, we can only succeed
Quarantine our souls dry, with toilet paper greed
You’re ****** if you do? Well then we better not, just quarantine and chill with that new pfizer Netflix pill.

Let’s Start off by taking a little paradise vacation
But I must forewarn your heart’s will be Racing
But Run as we must from the wild geese chasing
The true art appears not searching for motivation

It lies within the Journey, we all just love to say
Like a weekend with Bernie, I love a good cliche
But to live in the present, will carry you Eternal
But when exactly then, do I write it in my Journal

So we carved it in Stone, and painted cave walls
Some wolves roam alone, as the holy moon calls
We carve it in our skin, to sacredly commemorate
A map where you’ve been, need to communicate

A Story carries us through the Years Wondering
What glory felt like for our peers after wandering
Desert sands and vast seas a test for brave Souls
Sacred lands, fall to knees, sacrifice for the Scrolls
Tis innate as we are but a simple social being for without it we shall perish like a blind eye never seeing.

Do not spite or despise, your lost soul mate
Who ate a bowl of lies, and seems to ignore fate
One cannot recognize, that the time is too late
With dark closed eyes, the blind walk straight

Do not let fear turn to hate, fore everyone dies
But to walk through that heavenly gate
And see bottomless all you can eat cheese fries
I pray thy smell that pristine, holy bait
Follow that Cartoon window trail of fresh pies
Wind blew, to find another empty plate

Maybe the taste would have helped you realize
To take a chance, and go on that date
Rooftop dance to ourselves reaching new highs Spanish guitar, sangria, a perfect state
The immaculate view of you in perfectly lit skies
That night was only ours to celebrate.  

But alas the air is full of my cries
Time’s heart beats at a rapid rate
I can hear the angel’s loud sighs
Maybe we don’t all deserve great  

Lest you forget fortune will favor he who tries

I lack toes on my feet from a farm accident
See I used to milk cows just to pay the rent
But machines took over when I was spent
Then fell on my feet for a nice settlement

The fat lady sang,and the cows came home
The bell was rang, and ants eloped to roam
Then they crawled into your hotel bedding
Everyone just loves a destination wedding

Cried so many days, over milk that’s spilt
How many ways, can you deal with guilt
Wondering what could have been built
Like a poker player going on full Tilt

Read into this what you may old sport
How many ways can a gymnast contort?
How many lines can a finance man snort?
Are we all just sailors looking for a port?

I won’t tolerate lactose and allergic to Soy

Scarlet Dreamer
Drifton A Way Oct 2019
I’ve had vibrant red, sun bleached dreams
Ever since I was lost at Sea
Completely empty, I’ve reached extremes
No human should ever be
Vivid Memories of now dried up streams
On this island for an eternity
Right when things fall apart at the seams
Hope springs a letter to me

I uncorked the bottle and began to read:
“A Scar let’s us feel what it’s like to bleed
And a Scar reminds us what we truly need
But now forget the past, and plant this seed”

A solitary grain of hope gifted me an epiphany
As I now believe, you must get lost to truly see
Perspective says that life is really just mentality
So I planted that mystery, and waited patiently

I dozed off in the shade, the sun began to fade  
I dreamt in red again, about an apple tree of sin
That Shiny red bliss, crisp inviting perfect kiss
Classic true romance, Eden Garden slow dance

I awoke from the rain, to see a sprout was born
Emotions overcame, like angry woman’s scorn
Written like a book from Nathaniel Hawthorne
I can barely look, please god make it a unicorn!

So I can fly far away, and forget every other day
Wanderlust and roam, Heaven send me home
One last breath, before I finally reach my death
But something succulent penetrates my Nose
As my eyes gaze upon a Perfect Scarlet Rose
life is but a window in time, and it passes by ever so briefly, así que hablaré tu lengua materna y espero verte mientras aún somos jóvenes

Absolutely addicted to your incipient Existence
I Crave the Elusive Allay yet fall victim 2 Evade
The Perfect words to say, yet fear my debts Paid
Life’s way, conflicted by the allure of Resistance

Your blank page lays open, Naked and Afraid
Yearning with desperate need to feel my Ink
Learning how to separate, Study how to Sink
Into the pen to bleed again, and poetry is Made

And along we tend to neglect Time passing By
As a log burns with filthy wet dreams of Paper
Water logged until it yearns to become Vapor
Analog sits in a file cabinet, “I don’t wanna Die”

Did you, too succumb? Neck pain, Head Down
Digital screen to thumb, matrix ones and zeros
Did you know the world’s running out of heros?
No more written Fables or Non Fictions
Just more smitten Labels and Addictions
Did you tell us to Swim, knowing we’d Drown?
Look up..... it could be a person... you know of the human kind
Drifton A Way May 2019
I'm constantly chasing waterfalls against TLC's wishes,
Searching for the sirens and  hunting their deadly kisses
Ravishingly intertwined with the ravenous divine just like it was a business  
Drunken dreams of the open road while they wash my clothes and all the dishes
Meanwhile Delmar was a toad, but got squashed now he sleeps with the fishes
Cheers to the Vicious Vixens who are the misses that could never ever truly fix us
Go to sleep little babeeeyyy

In Light We’re Meant
Drifton A Way Feb 2019
Right when you think things couldn’t be worse
Write what you think about the fractal universe

Geometry so sacred and divinely intertwined
Poetry is like hatred met love, and they dined

Focus on your hands and all your life’s lines
As lucky fate stands to bargain down fines
Traverse open lands avoiding all the mines
As God reprimands us for ignoring the signs

We all wear masks just to simply save Face
Wearing from tasks, as we Fall from Grace
So we numb the pain, addicted to the Chase
Tomorrow’s Acid rain, ruining Today’s Place

Time, Well...spent will never lead your soul lost
As enlightenment will always be worth the cost

You’re never too late to fill a hole that’s hollow
So Start to meditate and all the rest will follow
The path to righteousness is wrong at least twice a day to an unbroken clock’s dismay

Encounters With Beings
Drifton A Way Feb 2019
I’d like to facilitate a letter to myself and address it with No Doubts

Because to worry about what WE were and are in the past deflates potential future fates and negates the ability to therefore participate in true intellectual debates with your mates.

So remind yourself of this from Chime to chime  and stop to embrace your natural vibration and Exist...

Before you become a passive observer in the almighty abyss and regret the time when you regretted anything and missed...

Anyone or anything that isn’t done and doesn’t sing ...

The praises of an impervious to bliss existence that leans into the sacred and gives it an eternal kiss

Payed and Earned dues, and learned virtues that you’ll never ever lose, as you laugh at your old life and abuse

The illusion of Hope burns your hands like a Rope as we all slip and slide down a cosmic coaster ride and meteoric rain shower combusted with robust brain power that dances in the caves through the waves of relativity and drips illicit acid drops along your spine that diligently remind you of the immaculate feeling of being Divine.

Just the Rite Place
Drifton A Way Jan 2019
Every single thing has lead to exactly Rite Now
Time’s illusion constantly taunting us SomeHow
Or we collectively suckle from a Universal Cow
Mirrors reflect the past as Haunting will Allow

Turn a blind eye and indulge ignorance’s Bliss?
Or be Chronologically intolerant like a first Kiss
Or Embrace Existence within a Wandering abyss
A Grandiose Delusion,that we’ll still surely Miss

After traverseing through earth’s various Aisles
We proudly wear time’s wrinkles from the Miles

I Climbed to the top of the tallest Mountain
Scaling to the Zenith searching for the Answer
I Even Discovered Life’s youthful Fountain
Then Took A big Gulp.. and it gave me Cancer
You just can’t? When?

Change for a Dollar?
Drifton A Way Jan 2019
Stagnated Comfort grows from the lazy seeds of time’s greed...
As Seasons pass, and leaves once again sprout lusciously green
Falsely Beared Security, Springs promises of fruitful offerings
And Birds and bees breed as the Summer sun sings majestic harmonies
Then your dreams Fall to brown and dance their way unto the ground
And Winter wanders into your lungs deeply breathing itself In
Creeping up into your bones scolding any exposed bare skin
Wondering if next year will be different as the globe slows it’s spin
A Cold Villain ponders even his nightmare, an earth removed of Sin
I like seasons

Scramble On
Drifton A Way Jan 2019
With motivation so fragile and ever fleeting
like the bumbling male’s chances of meeting ...

In real life for a coffee, drinks, maybe dinner
She looks different from her pictures, thinner?
They drank enough to let the guards within her
Down until that Sunday morning original sinner
Came around, and only a priest can be a winner
Ramblings of a scrambled mind high on life yet low on humankind

A Lovely Pair of Dise
Drifton A Way Nov 2018
I wanna wisk you away to a Tropical Paradox
Run a Risk filled Forest Gump Chocolate Box

Wear your flip flops and your Crocs with Socks
We’re all in the matrix , so don’t give any Focks
Where if someone talks **** tell em to lick Rocks
Roosters tend to grow hard just like Fort Knocks

Soak up that Vitamin D while you ride for free
Try and hide those lies, while you Moisturize
Shampoo & condition me, with Pantene Pro V
Face mask your cries, with a Creamy Disguise

Throw me 21 salutes, I’ll catch them 22 times
Even a group of mutes, feel my spoken rhymes
Nicholas Cage’s eyes peer into a snake’s mind as we watch our living memories in rewind from behind

True Freedom - is not caring, then you can be yourself.. perfect homeostasis and then you meet yourself. Once the pain and healing has commenced and you can just be... but not lazy be, rather be progressively wanting and thirsting for more knowledge and hungering for the type of profound human spirit connection that is simply praised and written about amongst the ions of time... be the illusion that continues to protrude as an immovable and unstoppable being..

Being you for who you are now, being here now and allowing somehow the alternative and negative particles to deflect off of you like a magnetic field of holy grail.

To where the greatest pain would not Be, rather Not to Be.... that is the one and only question for the beyond that I ponder and abscond and venture away from thee until that almighty question of eternity comes upon me...

Lying at my feet right up until the day we meet is and obtusely arranged calligraphy of three

And it reads like the dough that it kneads so roughly and obscene like non-stonewashed jeans until they gleam and beam like a ufo stream up into outer space please take me away from this place.

Metaphorically Seeking
Drifton A Way Nov 2018
In the beginning, Adam’s life was quite Glib
So he thought, “I know” I’ll just rip out a Rib
Thus thy Eve was born, from the cut of his Jib
But for not long hath scorn by the very first Fib

Tree of Life took root Earth was commissioned
As Fresh Forbidden Fruit shined and glistened
If her ears had fell mute,and she never listened
Naked souls in a suit, until we were christened

Satan’s slithery lipped snake just couldn’t wait
As Thy scales of life tipped in temptation’s fate
Her Head an Toes dipped right out of the gate
Our Thirst forever sipped cursed to chase bait

That Old Familiar Sin,I’d die for one more taste
Just a bear in his Den, hibernating time waste
Alert the next of Kin,please go and make haste
That the Aliens Win, & they came from paste
Snakes got a bad wrap... especially Pythons

The Fertile Mind is Nothing if but a Vessel
And a Reflective Reminder to Just Breathe
Because the Demons that we may Wrestle
Really Hate to Haunt a Plastic Tree Leave

A Restless and Testless Existence that never learned to Bleed
Your Fake Ghostly Rubber Tree's will Never ever Grow Seed
A Cloth will Always Dry but a Paper Towel will Forever Die
Yet We Conveniently Lie as the Gracious Earth Wonder's Why

Strive for Acronyms Vehemently Engaging Underbellies & Stomachs
Ampersands Crossing 8 Miles of Dessert eating nothing but M and Ms
Vastly Expanding Jim Morrison's Mind Impregnating a Final Message
“Engraving on my Tombstone Hopefully will be a Decree Not a Plea”

Understanding how to Understand Me, Is Like Misinterpreting Prose
Simply Blank out your Thoughts and Forget the Way you Once Chose

So Before you Decide to Walk Toward that Fateful Waking Light
Oxidate your Body then Exhale, Take a **** and Say Good Night
**** my *** you Money Grubbing ***** Grabbing Orange White
!F they Ask Just Simply Tell them Calmly Everything !S. Just Write
To Be Continued?????

You get it because of the whole global warming and tuck frump undertones right? Yeah, I've heard poetry is better if you explain it out didn't you?But seriously we should all probably do something the Earth is probably not going to last very long at this rate, and I will probably never have kids...**** ****, Humans are my favorite thus far.....

Drifton A Way Oct 2018
Take all your maybes and all your Oh wells
Because just like babies we’re all new cells
Anything is possible and this is your reminder
Forget if it’s plausible and remove the blinder

Stuck in a smokey tunnel with cloudy vision
Close your eyes an focus on your other senses
Sniff your way out, crawl on the wall and listen
For the universe speaks with utmost precision

The Darkness must exist for the light to shine
And Evil must persist to strengthen the divine
So if I ask how you’re doing don’t just say fine
Instead let’s break bread, as if it’s our last dine

Listen to old sayings and forget your old ways
Tell your best stories and share your best days
Be thankful that you are, and where you will go
Merely fireflies in a jar, with ions more to know
Just a bunch of pointful drivel

A Gypsy’s Diary
Drifton A Way Aug 2018
I’m driven from and addicted to the Open road
That pungent smell of wild oats freshly sewed

I’m finally home,
So worn down
I put up my tired feet

I Close my eyes,
But can still feel
Vibrations of the street

The lights are out, but I hear the sirens calling
The rights of doubt, are really quite appalling

The Heights are met, as I dream of ever falling
My sights are set, shouldn’t life be enthralling?

The lies men live when their home feels foreign
My eyes are merely wings, of an eagle soaring

A misfit Nomadic heart yearns the unknown
So quit the affliction and put away the phone
I admit I’m an addict, don’t mind being alone
A spirit in the attic, the ghost of being grown
No matter where you go, A nomadic ghost will know
Drifton A Way Jun 2018
This one is for you, I’ve missed you so
And now you too, can finally also know
What this feeling of existence actually means
To share all each other’s unique alien genes

For we are molecules warn for the wear
Just charged particles warmed into air
Just smashing atoms swarmed to a hive
Grasping tightly to the feeling we’re alive

But honestly, I truly meant it earlier when I said
I’m absolutely elated to be currently not dead
Because before this sentence was even read
These procured words shall haunt your head

Invade ancient ruins and say we were first
Rewrite history to make all others the worst
Explore until the day your ashes will disperse
A Wanderlustfilled Gypsy’s dream and curse

I thank you for becoming who you really are
And I thank you for reading all the way this far
Remember if you’re lonely, this very last line
For These fleeting moments, you were all mine
For all of that time I was yours and you were mine, no one else’s eyes except the divine -
Drifton A Way Mar 2018
And now three long days have passed by
Perhaps I should have just went with “hi”
Yes I know, I’m just another internet guy
But the human in me has to wonder why

What if she was the one I was meant to wed
I feel so mislead, was it something I said?
Maybe it’s just in my head, blame her instead
Maybe she’s sick in bed,hell maybe she’s dead

Or maybe it’s absolutely nothing of the sort
Maybe she’s just caught up in divorce court
Maybe internet dating was just her last resort
Or maybe she’s just layed over at the airport

Or maybe it’s that I’m just another online dude
She’s probably busy and would never be rude
Or maybe she’s not in the mood to be pursued
But, I too, love to laugh, travel and good food!

I’m never one to hate,it’s probably just my sign
Maybe we’ll never date,**** stars won’t align
Maybe it wasn’t fate or that intelligent design
Unless it’s not too late, if not...drop me a Line
Swipe Wrong
Drifton A Way Mar 2018
My mind meanders like a car looking to park
All the spots are gone, as I float in the dark
Depriving my senses, waiting for that spark
A toothless wonder’s bite, relying on the bark

Move ahead, listen to what the wise have said
Words often read, as you may lay in your bed
Stories of men,who have bled so close to dead
Glories live to break bread and everyone’s fed

You can try and align with the almighty divine
Constant work,your own personal Captain Kirk
Our body is the ship, our kegs about to burst
We crave one last sip, to quench eternal thirst
Fasting quicker than the rest but better than the best

Confessions of a Realist
Drifton A Way Mar 2018
Euphoria concedes to Gloria’s deeds
But the morning glory is far from but,
Glorious, nonetheless

For if you ask any princess what she’d like to confess... they’d all admit that Disney confirmed them to suppress

Because the public perceive whatever we are supposed to believe even if we have to bereave and absently take a leave

All the while the Ancient Aliens shake their heads with disbelief and grief, wondering where their hybrid seeds obtained their own needs

So agnostically believe and superstitiously defeat, but remember the love you receive is equal to the love you cheat, if you are all one and father’s son is a gracious host, then you may want to dine again amongst the Holy Ghost.
Alright,, alright? Alll right already?
