Fruit
Look up from your phone See the world for what it is Beautiful with every leaf and rock Life doing what it does Not needing anyone's approval or consent

Consent of life
Lust is gone because of broken hearts. Living terminates as excitement fades. Love stops when meaning is lost. Life is arrested at the scene of the crime.

Taking the L of Life
Words of black hang off your lips. Singing songs into ears Of your friends. Each letter Slides off your Pink, lushes lips. Like a kid on a playground. The kid is happy and content Running around playing. But at the same time The playground is dirtied. In doing so you dirtied me. I loved you and respected you. Fires lit are now washed away Far gone past the salvation point. What's left? What's left after youve gone through Like a tornado your words twist and turn My every tear upon my face. Like a knife your words Let the blood escape my back, Not just the back. The legs, the stomach the chest, my head. My arms are sore Of the stress you Made me endure. All it took was three little words.

Caesar
Sitting in the middle of a room Fading in and out of focus A flower not yet in bloom Feeling like a head full of mucous. Gloomy and grey colors of the walls. Eyes closed, leaning back I try to stand but my brain stalls. The motor skills I now lack. This is the final adventure One taken in solitude At the cause of indenture The adventure, I now conclude.

Close of the Adventure
Colors of yellow flood the room Birds fly by with vibrant plumes. The walls are studded with glowing rocks. The sharp edges of the wall give me shocks. Up and down the corridor, they shimmer. Reflecting off each other, they glimmer. Amber, cyan, cerulean, amethyst. Colors like potions of an alchemist. They diminish and increase with time. But look stunning and full in their prime. Like hearts of the cave, fractured in millions. Each one is a different civilian. They radiate beauty, energy, light. Not one corner remains dark as night. The tunnel is long, twists and turns. Walking this length, my feet have no burns. This cave of wonders has it's value. My experience turn this from profit to view. The cave is a city of lively animation. I have stepped into the next dimension.

Dimension of Color
Smiles paint our faces As downhill we go A golden crown resides Atop our heads. We are rulers of the realm. Our happiness controls life We dance across the meadow Vibrant green grass stands tall White petals with yellow cores Live in patches, like cities in our kingdom. I'm tackled to the floor, We are gods to the bugs of the ground. Rolling down the hill, faster and faster. So happy. Happy. Smiling cannot convey my true feeling. My love defies a satisfied expression. I take your hand in mine You draw me near, not near enough. My face seems to have forgotten a frown. It knows not how to make that shape. Laughs escape through our lips And we start again. Running together, together forevermore. Dancing gracefully into the hands of the future.

Golden Age
My heart listens to the sound of a child finding its way lost between differences of the mind. Over this, over that, they find a way into the void, out of the clouds. Like an angel getting its wings a bell rings and a teen finds who they are. different from everybody else. they find their core and they can only go up fly above the clouds and the gates are open. Open to what they put their minds to setting whatever goal accomplishing with a flare. We are beautiful. black, white, young old. we are told to dream big, when they want us to dream small. Because thats how much faith they lack.

Dream Big
Oh what news do you have in store for me? I have been waiting all day to learn more. More about the person I once knew well And know less about the one I know now. How about you start with your childhood, yes? I know not from whence you came, but you must. For you have lived through and through, life on end. I will have to guess, that is how it seems. My imagination isn't large enough. I can't comprehend what lifestyle you had. I wonder if you were a parent, hmm? Or maybe a secret agent? Not so! Perhaps you were just a normal person, Wanting a new life, for people to stop-

Sonnet for the Past
You think you're right? Talk about putting up a fight! How can that be true, When the only ones that believes is you. You're wrong, forever and ever. I don't even need to try to be clever. Why do you fight back, you've already lost. Just stop now, while still low is the cost! What did you just say? No really, I missed it. I'm sorry I acted like such a twit. Dinner tonight? Oh you're busy. That's alright. Man I'm dizzy. Did she really say that to me? Never has she been so busy like a bee. Maybe she's avoiding contact No, it's probably just an act. She'll come back to me tomorrow Free from tears of sorrow. I hope that's how this ends And not-- nevermind, my thoughts may not bend. The next morning she had not returned. My love, my love, to thee I yearn. Tears bleed from my eyes, The gods pick at me, like flies. Heat fills my face, my breaths stagger. I love you, please don't be gone. Please, I can't live without you. I- I- can't go on. Please come back my love. Tears on my clothing was the least of my problems. My life used to be stable, held by columns. Your absence has weakened them. What's left is nothing without my gem. I'm ruined, done with. With what I thought was a myth. It's true, don't ever forget it. My love has been lost, a cost because of wit.
