VaporSaint - Hello Poetry

Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been fed up for so long I had to write a proper breakup song You've got your head in a hole And your mind in the clouds You have no earthly idea what your talkin' about That's why I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been shushed up for so long Think it's time I head to parts unknown In the blink of a lie I'll be movin' out Somewhere clear out of sight of your mealy mouth Yeah, I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been pent up for so long Ain't nobody givin' this old dog a bone Hey, little lady Now, can't you see That I'll never be your patsy or your property I'm squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been couched up for so long Feel sorta like a stranger in my own home What a sham, what a scam What a full-blown farce What a bottomless pit you call your heart That's why I'm squared up, headlong and gettin' gone Squared up, headlong, and gettin' gone I've been fed up for so long I had to write a proper breakup song I'll tell ya, I ain't your subject And you ain't my Queen You can go back to your village finish livin' the dream... Me, I'm squared up, I'm headlong, and I'm-a gettin' gone

As for looking forward to brighter days Those happily hearkened solar rays That's just not something my mind relays Always the rain, the rain always No ultraviolet sight ablaze I'm blinded by the night's malaise Deluged without light or shade Always the rain, the rain always Through the flood my tomb is razed My face is mud, my eyes are crazed Soaked in dread of a watery grave Always the rain, the rain always ©Jason Cole

Always The Rain, The Rain Always

I've seen the future and now bear witness to what I've always known Your love will be the death of me And after they've buried my body, long and low, deep and dim My spirit will rise to write verse again I shall burst forth from this atmosphere Far beyond this temporal sphere To pen your name into eternity ©Jason Cole

Die To Love

I've seen the future and now bear witness to what I've always known Your love will be the death of me And after they've buried my body, long and low, deep and dim My spirit will rise to write verse again I shall burst forth from this atmosphere Far beyond this temporal sphere To pen your name into eternity ©Jason Cole

For you, I would reach up and pick the stars, as flowers of the night Gathering near, gathering far Lost in the wonder of what you are I would fetch the clouds and stitch them together A coat for your fears Amid inclement weather No torrid rain No howling wind Nothing could harm or chill you again I say now as a man- All that I am, was, and ever will be Is yours for the taking For you, my heart, my spirit, my soul My love, for the breaking ©Jason Cole

I imagine you reside in the shadows of the stars If not there, then somewhere very rare, and far Perhaps in the dunes, or the ruins of Mars To be perfectly sure, you're heaven carved There's a spark about you that lights up the dark Upon you, heaven's very kiss has made its mark I long to leave this world and be with you Wherever you are ©Jason Cole

I know something of the rhythms and melodies of pain First this way, then that Soaring, falling, roaring, stalling Planed out planes on a higher plane Wraith trains shaking fate's chains in vain Devilish desperados with desperate names play desperation games inside my veins The eyes of their horses hidden by their manes The thoughts of their voices pounding my brain These are the sounds and the songs of rain Rain is still rain by any other name Waters will recede while floods will remain Each separately singing equally stinging refrains Nothing cuts deeper than these canyons of shame Certainly, I know things concerning the rhythms and melodies of pain And of four-legged creatures wholly untamed Racing blood-soaked, unbridled, unreigned Their clippety-clop clamorings running 'round my brain These are the sounds and the songs of rain ©Jason Cole

*The die is cast to die at last Envision the vast everlasting We live in the past too fast Forward-fast future impasse Intentions to pass and repass Notwithstanding Elusive are the ticks of tock That take place in the mind Marinating for meaning And a design to define in art Whether it be mind or it matter At an epoch that unlocks where life starts Present past, future tense Beginnings and endings Instantaneous events The secret of the clock Is that it can never count The mystery of the sands Remains on higher ground Wait a second, forever and a day Columns of sand pillars wasting away With a time well spent in thought Immortality and perpetuity Illusion of continuity Momentary lapses of universal ambiguity*

Only you and the sun can turn the sky on There are few things in this world That a man can rely on When this world grows cold, the sun's very fire gone On the day that you must go That's the day I will die on Only you and the sun can fight the moonlight Beat back the sadness The madness of midnight Sanctify the gladness, steadfastness of daylight Bookend the badness Upend the dark night Only you and the sun can sing destiny's song The darkest of your hours Are brightest before dawn If fate were unfaithful, or otherwise forlorn Life itself would still be grateful For the day that you were born Only you and the sun are deserving of twilight A state of solemn grace And harbinger of starlight Now face to face with you by the firelight I pray that I wake Beside you at first light ©Jason Cole

Love is a light A wondrous light Bold and marvelously unrepentant Love it is right It fights the good fight Championing hope and transcendence Love is a light A splenderous light Unwavering in its resplendence Love is a light An irreproachable light Gloriously devoid of repentance ©Jason Cole

But for the night Lights are not bright Nothing can shine While out of sight Can't be divine Or exude delight But for the night The night, the night But for the night Stars can't take flight Nothing can soar While out of sight Can't well rip-roar Or shoulder heights But for the night The night, the night But for the night The night, the night Stars they can't soar Can't shine their light Heavenly horde Of divine delights Counted as void But for the night ©Jason Cole
