Some days i get trapped In my own head. I might Stay there for a while, and relish On the fact that my insanity Can run rampant and my Conscious decisions cannot combat The thick cloud of confusion. I think so much that thinking Is now obsolete. When I don't have A soul to speak to, I engulf myself With willful depression. A mental cocoon to protect My butterfly, even if it has no wings. But that's only on some days...

Some days
I think too much. The fact that I think I think too much means I definitely think too much.

Hello poetry goodbye world
one by one the people go away. Single-file. like skipping stones that bounce on the water, only to sink back to the bottom.

Bye
We are all nothing ,you know. Just a bunch of wiggles. We know not how or why, we just wiggle. The words and symbols we use to describe the impossibility of what is going on around us will never amount to anything. They exist only in minds, the universe connects much beyond anything we can see or think. Or how we consider thinking something we do, and our heartbeat is something that happens to us. How much of me is me? How much experience does it take, for me to be me? The answer is, of course, infinite. Time is only relevant in the Eternal Present, which is how we experience the world, ... but often forget it.

What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?
We cling to these symbols on paper, in tongue, behaving as if they affect our experience. These feelings are so real- the words **** the life right out of them. I don't really know what "love" is, but i know when i look at you and your mystique, i can see the whole universe staring back at me. There are simply no words or symbols for that. But if that isn't their "love", then i feel a deep sorrow for the people who say they are in love, and stop there.

Why use words?
I wanted to ask how you were doing today. I'm sure you didn't notice. but you were trapped in my head. I asked you to leave and you said "You can't help what you feel. Just don't **** it up." So I will stay mouth shut, eyes absorbing every inch of nature's perfection. And hear your laugh rather than the world's cry. I know we were meant to cross paths, but like they say, soul mates are not necessarily for life. They are the people who awaken you to your own truth. To be shown true love by someone you could not love yourself, a true silver lining.

A true silver lining
It is easy to understand that everything is connected. Just a matter of perception, I guess. If you stand on the beach, you will experience the ocean as waves crashing independently of each other onto the shore. It would be foolish to assume that because there are individual waves, the waves are not part of the same ocean. In exactly the same way, life happens in many different "waves," but everything is part of the same ocean. In other words, you can't have yourself without everything else. There has to be a distinction. So yes YOU experience the world, but if the world wasn't here, there would be nothing to experience. So cheer up! Everything is working together and you are the universe experiencing itself!

Live simply.
These symbols come out as I hit these buttons. But they could never grasp the way I feel about you. Even IF they could, I would choose not to speak, for I would want these feelings all to myself.

True selfishness
I can feel the sadness, the disinterest. the choking and distortion of this illusion. The empty eyes they all give me. Sometimes i try and look for someone that means it. But nonetheless, the same is in all of us. Fear of not knowing, or denial of the inability to understand. I just want to say- Wake up! this is it. Every moment in time has led up to this one. So why be afraid? Death is such a painful thought, inconceivable. but simply ask one "where were you before you were born?" And all the sudden their eyes light up. We were everywhere and are everywhere, all the time. This is the good news.

This is the good news.
Someone once told me that language is art. No way that Bukowski could be a Picasso. But I think I may have been wrong. The words give the collage of ideas a meaning. Purpose. Art is purpose. At least, if you paint with words.
