Child of the world, jack of all strengths.
I used to get lost in your body Like porcelain, doll-like beauty But your side of the bed is empty Night, the time I miss you most.

Night
Just because the road is closed It doesn't mean it can't be walked No foundation for their expectations. In the space where someone used to be Is there a void or space to breathe? Why are so many people around us When I wanted it to be just us? It turns out in the long run All they wanted to do was untrust us.

Follow thy purpose
Sitting in this still empty space A space opposite the first place You dumped me Surrounded by aging remnants Of our tender love You left me here, again Sorry symbols of our love surround me Leaving me to stare the past To annihilation. This time it's different I will not have you back You crawled to me before When your judgment was slack But I learn lessons From past panic and pain My temper was stretching Our love wasn't the same You left me here, again

You left me here, again
Taking the harder path, in the long run A change of plan, held close to heart Is harder to let go. The easier path, it seems for now Taken with love Finding meaning through time. Upward spiraling life, Brings old opportunities anew The growth of one full turn, The Wheel of Life keeps spinning.

It could always happen again
Oh cousin, you are my polar opposite Bound by blood and circumstance To sit with you is a requisite As you'll never go out to dance. You sit at home a lot, reclusive The king of your own castle My patience with you is exclusive But for blood, it's worth the hassle. The golden age of our youth Our adventures near and far You told me what changed you What left your spirit marred. It all left your heart colder At times I don't even know you When you gave me the cold shoulder It was like twisting a ***** My intentions were always good I wanted to be there for you A friend in need, more than blood Though your kind words were few. It's best we leave some distance This friendship of ours love/hate Until I am ready to listen again It's best that we separate.

Why do you always have your guard up?
There once was a **** called Burt Who said that he'd never been hurt He falls for The Prom Queen Who ****** the whole ball team Poor Burt now knows she's a flirt.

A Limerick
Green and mean, stench of nature Tiny glass rocks, pale smoke Combusted, inhaled, exhaled, ecstasy Pathways to another dimension. Sometimes bringing fear Mostly tranquilising Words flow even better When you are in my veins. Hearing the hidden Under your influence Feeling everything Sensory affluence. Becoming more accepted In this backward world A symbol of peace Mother nature's milk. Toyed with by Man Now mutated, stronger I long to stroke you As you stand in nature. Pass, pass, pass, pass You are mine alone And better with others Tender unassuming glory. I like to hold you Feel you crumble With sticky residue A plant, so humble.

Interstellar bio-healer
I change my moods as you talk to me less Why you weren't there is anyone's guess Repelling as easily as I have attracted Learning that nothing lasts forever. I was being my best self, selflessly Trying on social altruism, a place for all A den for hedonism and parties But now you never call. The one in the middle, must hold it together When I fell apart, fragmentation Thoughts of it lasting forever Rumination and contemplation. My core knew it was unsustainable I was moving toward my destiny One final summer of debauchery Now I'm the one gathering infamy. Lessons learned, in the end Growing up together, of all ages I'm glad I can still call you friend It was only one of those stages.

Changing vibrations bring new situations
Softly caress my ears, songs of yesteryear Making sense of the here and now When was your sound, you play so well? Stunned to find you're active now. Expectation, that song of yours Makes me feel comfortable with break-ups Crying my tears dry imagining, If it ever happened how easy it would be. If I hung out with you guys, I know We would be like long lost pals The music you play is my truth also Your songs are like inspiration calls. Vintage sound, yet ultimately timeless I think you deserved that Grammy Vampire Weekend, I couldn't care less Could never imagine your infamy. Awakened my kundalini for sure Such a connection to your genius Your messages loud and pure Thank you, Tame Impala.

Tame Impala
How many times, must I swing from a height To an inevitable hollow of apathy and decay? Riding the crest of a 30 foot wave Strewn ashore to begin paddling the sea of life anew. Stability is a still lake, calm and serene Yet lacking sublimity and inspiration Passivity, the bitter sweetness of fitting in Normal I may be, but seemingly dull. If only I could be coherent When high, like tributaries to a river Each stream of consciousness Adding to a global master plan. Exodus of the emotions, the Latin ecstase As it pours forth unending, without pause Elation edgy yet welcomed To some my words seem without cause. Surely there is some truth Some empirical evidence that says Hypomania is unsorted flourishing Condensed and concentrated well-being.

Am I high or just happy?
