49/M/HEAVENS GATE I LOVE READING AND WRITING POETRY MUSIC THE GATEWAY TO THE SOUL BE CREATIVE ALWAYS
Religious depictions Healed the HURTING My IMAGERY A prettier REPRESENTATION IRONED out According To my CALCULATIONS COLUMNS Are STEADY Printer Got CAUGHT in A SNAG Finally ran Out of reasons To REPEAT It’s FORMAT The apparent FLAWS had been HIGHLIGHTED Enough Obsessed CURATION Like taming An ANGRY LION The fine print Isn’t necessary At ALL times Leave it ALONE High DEFINITION My worlds Much MORE LEGIBLE than before Cryptic messages Would not OUTLAST me They only made me NAUSEOUS Blotted me in spaces Spacers are now READILY Available for protection SPREADSHEET once Shredded all OVER The drenched FLOORS REPRINTED in finer details And Is now folded NICELY On A TABLE of grandeur

Boulders Have met There MATCH head ON RETRACTING Past tense Setting a new PRECEDENCE Cold as stone To a fluffier SUBSTANCE Bridging the GAP Between ARCHITECTURE Mastering the Shadows At a HIGH volume My TASTE Was a DEEP - Dive Into the DRAMATIC Intense fumes SLIGHTLY mysterious To a DEGREE Into TRULY Seeing past myself Carving out A realistic PATH Ridding me of The vengeful bad spirits I didn’t ENVY My jealous EGO As it was Ever So PRESENT The PINNACLE Of heights OWNING Up to it ALL Even the most PREPARED Of soul can STUMBLE upon Treacherous Seasons The WILDERNESS Can present Many a challenges Regardless of How STRONG you Think you Should BE Survival of the FITTEST Victim of habit Flipped And FOUND You can often Be TAKEN aback In the most UNEXPECTED Moments of Silence As OBSTACLES Turn to a more MODERN approach MODESTLY Set in motion You ARE and will CONTINUE to be Forward is the ONLY Direction now Worth BEING seen IN

Rudimentary Hold me STILL COMPASSIONATE HALO Hollow me OUT And REPLENISH MY SOUL GRANT Me immunity When CRYING Has lost it’s PURPOSE for pain Survivors Are UNIQUELY Blended Grand THEFT violations Can never be REPLACED CURE me Of the UNSEEN RIDICULE & shame Like tumors In my head Far from RUMORS Why do I keep spreading Myself further From a happier ZEN Gambling With another’s genuine meaning Proceed With CAUTION May I PLEED the fifth Statue of limitations That’s ONE Sacred line of innocence That should never be Violated PERIOD Using me Up till you’ve Made your POINT HARPING Reenactments freeze The IMMEASURABLE Specifics need Not SPEAK another peep SPELL BOUND HORRIFIED I can’t Stop SHAKING My most SINCERE prayers go Out to YOU I can’t imagine Carrying around Such An OVERBEARING WEIGHT OH wait I have PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE In that field YOU never should have Had TOO endure That and me either To have been put In that kind of DESPERATE situation To afraid to speak UP At the time Putting the SHOE on the Other FOOT has Ultimately been very NERVE wrecking Redirecting the blame Where it truly BELONGS Scream till your Voice IS HEARD That kind of evil Doesn’t deserve The freedom it HAS INVISIBLE scars Do the most Self INFLICTED HARM BY FAR Shaken and stirred Waiting for the STORMS To finally SETTLE properly And for the WINDOW PANE To draw your FULL ATTENTION Safely into A SPECIFIC beacon Hue’s you never Wanna LOSE SIGHT of STAY there

WRITING MY own ship Limited BONDS That were stretched TIES That bonded Broke APART Pour me A GLASS Of some Liquid courage If ONLY been There done THAT EXPERIENCE The warmth While you can Still MOVE about freely SHOES are tied Correctly You have To WALK Before you can RUN a sprint Caught in a PICKLE The feel of A Uncomfortable feeling WAVING back And finally getting On WITH it The FICKLE was A surprising solution To my DILEMMAS A beautiful BOUQUET needs A unique VARIETY To GRAB your Honest attention Full of YOURSELF Young and FEARLESS VALUABLE Lessons Hardened my steering wheel Healing sprees A much needed Rewrite Quid PRO quo Wetting my BEAK then drying it OFF Life’s Like a BOX Of ASSORTED feature Films in the BLINK Of an EYE You might MISS them altogether Staring at The same OLE boring SCREEN Nothings BEEN happening Maybe it’s Time for a game of PINBALL wizard Shake things Up a LITTLE My ball hasn’t bounced Since I last DUSTED it off It had been deflated Time to come UP For some fresh AIR An ASSORTMENT Of concoctions Can truly test your STAMINA in this life So TREAD lightly And leave your MIXED bags down On the corner to be Taken out with The TRASH You KNOW The one’s you Kicked to the CURB Don’t ever consider REOPENING them And inviting them OVER They are of no USE TO YOU anymore

ASSORTment
Nothing in COMMON Swimming pools Full of FOOLS gold The WHO WHAT WHEN and how RIDDEN Unaccommodating PEG board Why can’t I hang My HAT On something Asleep in A MAKESHIFT universe Some days I feel like A MANNEQUIN Finally hit A Straight FLUSH Now I am filled With Ecstatic ELATION Beck & CALL There’s Two SIDES To every story THROW pillows Decorate the dull But can they Lighten the MOOD At the same TIME Do they soften The blows in ONE SHOT The VISIONS In my HEAD are SO enthralling Like getting PEN TO paper I so WISH They could matchup Meet EXACTLY What I’m FEELING In the dire MOMENTS Because the UNREST Psyches me out And MY Dreams burst Into a FAR CRY for closure Like all the BALLOONS That ran out of HELIUM beforehand My OXYGEN levels are lowering To a minimum

UNREST
Fear the REAPER Black TIE Gathering Relevant information Took the LEAD SCRUBBING The REEK For years All it took is ONE PLUNGE To carry me FORWARD A day Of REBIRTH GIVING It go alone Where did that EVER get me Look ABOVE NOT below You’ll never find The honest ANSWERS Your looking for CREATOR of Heaven and earth A GREAT Yahweh It had been Weighing me down HEAVY On my heart Roaming in my soul For so long CONTEMPLATING What could be I was BAPTIZED In holy water I gave it all to HIM To CARRY Came back up And could EASILY breathe IN SEQUENCE My life had come FULL circle The burdens of life Sins that CARRIED The heaviest of weight Weighed me down SMASHED me like A pancake Finally released That day I truly came ALIVE A NEW man A knight in SHINING armor There’s a time For everything Everything has its place Finally my Time had come WHETHER We SEE it or NOT A walking miracle Breaths of life And death Everlasting life All the things I’ll never UNDERSTAND I’ve had enough trouble Comprehending It ALL MOST of my life The wonders that await Not of this world A true BELIEVER I’ve WITNESSED It I HAVE first hand EXPERIENCE His true greatness And what a believer Has WAITING In the AFTERLIFE This is ONLY the Beginning I walk TALLER today Then ever BEFORE All because of your Un- MEASURED COMPASSION & BRILLIANCE

SYNTHETIC Eyesight Descensions Had my number Lost In a magnetic WANDERLUST Loving my own PERCEPTIONS Poker FACE Is BLUFFING Joker’s wild Ran out of ANTES Dead WEIGHT Is the most IMPACTFUL As it SHARPENS It’s STING The fogs Rolling in THICK Backed into a wall There’s an ANGER That’s stirring At the bottom Of the KETTLE Ready to run over A person can only Take so MUCH Everyone reaches A BREAKING point And I have A THOUSAND times over I should be free To CHOOSE MY own way Not be some PUPPET For everyone else To hold hostage DANGLING me in the air Too do there BIDDING An abundance Of AGGRAVATIONS Equals ERUPTIONS like A volcano THAT won’t STOP flowing If the SCHOOL Of HARD knocks Has taught me One THING Life’s AVALANCHES WILL bury me Until I learn To conquer my FEARS AND SKI Right on PAST THEM

Is ANYBODY home BEYOND control Insanity rains down Sky’s barely NOTICEABLE Into the dark Of YOU falling faster Then ever before I’ve never felt DECENT enough In my own skin For more then just a day Everlasting LIGHT Fades into dark MIST WOUNDED Battered and bruised Forever lost in time SMUDGES A complex mind Surrounds Makes VISIBILITY very difficult Hard truths I feel them everyday In my VEINS My blood spills uncontrollably Can’t hide from The PAST That much is apparent How OBVIOUS Battle scars REVEAL themselves More times then not CLOUDS Without light REFLECT a lifetime Of memories washed away Misery remains Stagnant AIR Standing ALONE I’d RATHER be without The constant INFECTING Hurting FLESH WOUNDS
