I write as a lover, before the storm. The wolf pup in winter, seeking the warmth. I write in a theatre made up of dreams. Walking the tightrope, of my tensioned feelings. Believing the gravity serves as my foe, to bring me to earth, abandon my hope, A pessimist calling. I leave it a note. I sing as the sibling, to decorate lives. To wrap up those present, greet who arrive. And each day is christmas, when siblings celebrate, together they dine in the feast they create. I work as the father, to wisen my hands. To cultivate friendship with life and with land. I love it regardless, this life that we have.

For the Love of
Thousands of generations of human life must resolve before one man can sit here and jab blindly at hieroglyphs under two competing lights both equally ingenuine typing and tendering thoughts in the currency of writing he hopes to invite in some spur of the moment some hurtful opponent simple and vivid to blind him for at least a moment to the complex sorrows of the modern world so that he can wallow in a sea of words, and forget that to which he's inured a biography written every day read by no one, but written anyway, but the writing doesn't drive the gloom away.

Null Are The Words
Just one breath, of unpublished air. One organic despair. One step to repair my damaged window. My misled gaze. My programmed eating, ate my days. One word to pull me from my habit While I claw at the walls like a mindless rabbit. Trapped in my whole endless war, an obligation to my spirit drowning in the need within it. I'm drowning in the human image, the crafted icons and social spillage. I search for rescue in nail-scratched writings in the wall of the cell I've spent my life in.

Cell, Me, The World
Two minutes, we sacrifice. The value of a human life. Not to work two minutes harder, or push ourselves 2 minutes further. Not enough to contemplate the pain and fear, the spite and hate. Not 2 minutes to reparate, our broken world, our shattered people. The ones we left, who've grown so feeble. We give 2 minutes for those who died. Who died in wars so many times. War and again, over and over, and louder, the silence, and longer, the violence, so dilute in its gunfire and sirens. Silence, 2 minutes, for those who died. Yet silence eternal, for those deprived, of human rights, and chance to live, If only 2 minutes were all we'd give.

2 Minutes
This fu@&!n app I don't understand. I'm following instructions as best as I can. I tried five tutorials, and searched it online. Why does this time saving tool drain my time?

Please break my heart So I don't have to break yours I'd rather feel all that pain Than be the one to make you endure Please break my heart So I can leave yours intact I'd rather be haunted Than have to hear you react Please break my heart So I can live with my decision I'd rather lose all my tears Than have tears disrupt your vision Please break my heart So I'm not the one serving time Id rather feel completely caged Than be the one to commit this crime Please break my heart So I can make sure you're OK I'd rather lose my voice Than listen to all you might say This request might seem odd I ask for you to do the downing But if we're both stuck in this storm together I'd rather be the one drowning

Break My Heart Please
It's a strange reget I fear, that I might look back on my years, and regret that I'd been kind, when finally comes my time. That I might look back and revere the times when I was selfish. And well, this was never meant to be a contest of who was kindest, I think in my absense of mind just pottering around, avoiding the risk of being a bad memory from another human being, but in this incessant kindness, I worry that I'm seeing an increasing list of costs and a shrinking window of feelings and asking in a voice quiet enough to never be heard, I ask the world, "have I been heard?" I am no ********** of gilded sentiments. Purchasing my fortune in currencies of kind words. Settling my debts to the harbinger and the reaper by my endeavor to never been seen alike them. I seek the gentle will of the world we built by calling blindly for salvation within a nation of those who cannot see and hoping that they'll somehow see me, If I devote my life to being something someone else should have been.

Be Blind in Kind
will you still love me if I don't smile today? if my tears fall like raindrops and my world tears at the seams? if my voice breaks when I talk and I seek the comfort of dreams? will you still love me if I don't cheer up today? if I sit rigid in silence and spend the whole day in bed? if I find solace in cigarettes and don't keep myself fed? will you still love me if I don't laugh today? if I keep my thoughts hidden and don't say what I mean? if I curl up in darkness and stare at a screen? will you still love me if I don't calm down today? if my patience wears thin and snaps like a thread? if my eyes no longer sparkle and are absent instead? will you still love me if I don't smile today?
