English "Count your life by smiles, not tears." John Lennon / Peace x
Separate joins birth with the universe, It's origin is still the unknown. It's a word simply of difference, The spaces in-between everything else. The Separate starts wars and punches you, yes it can be very unkind. Yet The Separate can replenish and nourish you, quench any thirst that you might find. The Separate starts new life, though it takes with it so many. Still The Separate must be respected and even detested. The Separate is ugly and lonely, beautiful and connected. We are Separate, every one and all. No spot is the same. Nobody's to blame. Innocent. Ignored. The Separate roars.

The Separate
No new messages, although I have constantly been watching, maybe if I turn away, somebody might relay something of importance my way. Create new message, time to choose my recipient; carefully though this must be magnificent. I hope you reply I am far too shy to even think about a phone call. No new messages. When should I just stop and forget it all? When the words I write become whispers? Or when they vanish completely? Still i'll sit and i'll wait until the end of the day, hoping my mind does not fray the anticipation can't help me stay sane for very much longer. No new messages; finally I snap. I've reached my tethered end, I've started to crack. Listen to me please, I don't like to recap, You've now got five minutes and if you don't text me back... 1 new message, quick now what does it say? Its from my network provider, there's new deals this coming May. Thank you network provider you've really ruined my day.

No New Messages
I became weak from lack of exposure. It's not killing me now, I found closure. A coffee stained T-shirt, I'm empty inside. I found smoke in my lungs, but no fire in my heart. There are things to be found that I cannot find. I wonder frantically, but where do I start? I wish I could see, though I must be blind to all that is divine. What I want eludes me. Confusion constricts and binds me like Ivy. The twisted vines, they confine and declined all my descending tries and tire my motivation to free my mind. To discover the secrets of being aptly content. To discover what was aptly meant and not to resent yesterday, or all the tomorrows that are subsequent. I ignore all the lies as they are insolent, And now for my future, I shall admit all my sins and repent.

The City Lights Disguise the Guise of Well Being
The way the stand so much taller than me, for so many more days than me. They must be wise for I can see No reason why wonder could not occur when immobility stands in the way. Oak. Chestnut. Tree. I wish I could see, What it is to be. To stand. To live. To perish. Constrained, yet free.

You're dreaming of fairy tales that will never come true, Would you really want them too? Falling into fire Keeps your chin up high, Your feet flat on the ground And your head in the sky.
