rafael-torres - Hello Poetry

In the ****** life The one here on Earth The one we're all graced with By choice At birth It's the little victories That may keep one sane Without quitting or leaving prematurely This ****** up game But a game it's not This life is real Stamped and approved With a golden seal... For we've all made a deal To learn and grow To gain a knowledge much deeper Than we ever have known Smile at the small stuff Don't sweat the big stuff It'll only add more To a life of enough... Unnecessary ******** And pointless torment Turning active Volcanos That once had laid dormant Perpetuating misery Frowns and tears unneeded Don't question the harvest When it's known what's been seeded Nonphysical forces Keep the ball rolling... I'll take my small victories With a smile... And keep on strolling......

Small Victories

In the ****** life The one here on Earth The one we're all graced with By choice At birth It's the little victories That may keep one sane Without quitting or leaving prematurely This ****** up game But a game it's not This life is real Stamped and approved With a golden seal... For we've all made a deal To learn and grow To gain a knowledge much deeper Than we ever have known Smile at the small stuff Don't sweat the big stuff It'll only add more To a life of enough... Unnecessary ******** And pointless torment Turning active Volcanos That once had laid dormant Perpetuating misery Frowns and tears unneeded Don't question the harvest When it's known what's been seeded Nonphysical forces Keep the ball rolling... I'll take my small victories With a smile... And keep on strolling......

Small print What a way To cheat another day History has taught How to respond And Play There's nothing to fear But fear itself Knowing this is wealth Theres one word A join of two Reveals theres nothing had to do Loophole Loophole A hole of loops Infinite Every loophole has a loophole How significant Thats why its called Loop Hole Endless DNA Theres just one name That keeps it sane The name lives to this day John Hancock Sign that sh*t Big and bold No fear Showing that No cowardice Is within Is clear Let the loopholes Noose the necks Of those with bad intent Now thats enough Wasting thought on this My mind is not for rent Just remember Boomerang Three little birds that sang Killed by the bell Welcome to hell Theres no one else to blame.

Somewhat blank Day-dream more than "live" Feel somewhat out of place Don't know what else I have to give Something's gonna give The world is too unstable I sit silent And wait to tip the scale Too much tension In this air I wonder how much longer They can smile though despair No one even cares Just laugh it off Don a mask Point a finger Lie through teeth Make a dollar through a flask So busy stuck on others Forgetting the source of this life's screening Most just can't admit That they haven't found a meaning On the outside well presented Inside Endless screaming Always working Always scheming A life reflected by demeaning Watching backs Paranoid The mirror Just avoid Elevator cable snapped As bunkers all collapse Yet a few remain intact Left with no way out Held in Nature's grasp Beyond a shadow of a doubt Darkness. No lights No Sun. No Moon No stars No vision None. Can't fly away Can't call for help You cannot run From cards you've delt Life treated like a game All the rules end up the same Cheaters never win There's no one else to blame Reciprocation Devastation Don't you hold your breath Disrespected death You get no rest You've never tried your best Always ignored What's widely known Don't disrespect your home Give a cackle Until it's nothing As empty as within Just don't forget Between the laughs That cheaters never win Where's the power? Where's the skill? Fabricated for the easy-way Illusion is illusory Tomorrow's not today Watch what you say Dont misbehave And ask yourself Who's the slave? Live your life According to others Sadly It's what I see I sit silent Watch and wait For the powers that will be Reciprocation Orbital I simply blow a kiss Have finding out... Ignorance. Isn't. Bliss.

Homeless Broken On a spare tire Under the red-line In the mind... just fine... Grimy Gritty Trying not to feel ****** Out of clean clothes Job searching in the city... Friends down to zero My journal number one... Go for a walk Is the only source of "fun"... Cans here Bottles there Find them under lost despair Solitude And gratitude Both have come from where?... Life is great... Say it loud All alone within a crowd Its just been so long For a chance to breath Find some shade beneath the trees Watch the leaves Fall before my feet Then blow away Caught within the wind... Cannot Will not Accept defeat... New things will begin... Life is great... Living the dream... Pain floats away like steam... Eyes have closed Its time to rest Dream to live again... All is well Inside of hell... Relief... Well meet again... my friend... as well...

Another day has come Us all greeted by the Sun Skies that shimmer blue Bring new choices we could do Within the mind We create An ever vaster New landscape It is our fate To stir and shake A life that only We could make Miles long To the horizon Try to see With more than eyes Then So much more Could than be seen Like hidden stories In between The words And voices Birds And choices So often taken Just for granted How little nourished What's been planted Always asking Never granted No steps taken Always pulled Leads to unintended fools For at the end Of this one path Is infinite Says all the math Endless love Or endless pain When phrased like this Much less a game Fortune or fame Or selfless giving Which ones are Truly living? Just alive For an agenda Leaves no rest, Just ask yourself And do your best... These words just read Have not been spoken By a life That's not been broken But sewn together Healed by time Or in an instant Within the mind Seek anew And one may find That what's ahead Is far behind Shackled by our thoughts That be Just look inside You have your key...

The unknown lingers, Just like every second, Guesses can be made, Utilize the senses, Use the sixth knowingly, Confident through the blur, As opposed to blind guesses, Evolve them into sure, Intent that is pure, Cannot be touched by flak, For soaring even higher, Remains in one intact, With a choice to fly low, Still, Adds for another thrill, Freezing lightning solid, Unleash its strike at will, Concentrate, On fate, To travel within destiny, Leave behind the physical, I shall use the rest of me, Light's what casts shadows, The Universe's recipe, Life, I say, Test me, 6 or 9, No line, Top or bottom viewed, Perception that factor, That makes opinions skewed, For both views are correct, Yet the other just can't see, Through the other's eyes what be, See? Attempt to unfold, Sifting gold through gravel, Decipher this here poem, Let your mind travel, Times and places, Unknown, Never a dull moment, Grasp the present, Own it.

Nameless, I've named this, For who knows the contents could be, Reminded I am, Of gravestones left unmarked, Once were, But today not a name to be seen... When I gaze upon these, I still send my respects, I have not a clue, As to resting is who, Send love from my chest, Move to the next, Nothing is more I could do... I guess for a second, All I can rekon, Is to imagine the being below, Of their life's journey, Those they've effected, I only guess, But never could know... I hope they have felt, My intents of respects, And know they are not forgotten, In fact I do say, Right here today, I do not even know my own place, In this here world, For which we are thrown, My meaning, Still yet, Unknown... So I visit as a friend, A simple kind gesture, A gift of my salutations, You lay there, As I stand afoot, A quick connection of Nations... I do hope it was felt, That I so alone, Considered a guest, Of your home... The Cemetery.

Nameless (Graves defaced)

Nameless, I've named this, For who knows the contents could be, Reminded I am, Of gravestones left unmarked, Once were, But today not a name to be seen... When I gaze upon these, I still send my respects, I have not a clue, As to resting is who, Send love from my chest, Move to the next, Nothing is more I could do... I guess for a second, All I can rekon, Is to imagine the being below, Of their life's journey, Those they've effected, I only guess, But never could know... I hope they have felt, My intents of respects, And know they are not forgotten, In fact I do say, Right here today, I do not even know my own place, In this here world, For which we are thrown, My meaning, Still yet, Unknown... So I visit as a friend, A simple kind gesture, A gift of my salutations, You lay there, As I stand afoot, A quick connection of Nations... I do hope it was felt, That I so alone, Considered a guest, Of your home... The Cemetery.

A whole new spiral, Trees upon a coil, Ink from leagues, Written feathers, Drizzled down as oil, Evermore, Nevermore, Less is more, All. Reverse inside-out, Springs before fall, Trojan powered horses, Mother Nature's fickle, In life we really are all, Trapped within a pickle... Steal the base, Capture the flag, Always run the risk, Chess played on a checker board, Hands turned into fists... The endless stairs, Rise & fall, Chutes & ladders, Poles, Elevated, Reciprocated, Orbital magnetic pull... This way, That way, Three rights make a left, Two of either, Horizontal shift, Four times, Stuck in circles... Full Moon, Half Moon, Crescent Moon, **** cheeks... Face cheeks, Two lips, Uranus, **** facts... The Owl asks "Who?" Not how many licks, Cracked. Tongue twister, Riddle fister, ******* fcking dcks... Creation. Destruction. Under construction, Living life, Chasing death, Don't forget to function... Playing hooky, Hooked on phonics, Telephone, Hello? Lose the "O", Cheerios, Rolled away, Hell. Pacific Bell, Pack Bell, Liberty Bell, Cracked. Xs, Os, Hugs, Kisses, Followed crumbs, Smacked... Cacophony of words, Magnified to deaf, Pantomime, Mr. Mime, Jynx, Hypnotic crest... Abra, Kadabra, Apply directly to the forehead... Water your brain, Fertilize, Extra fries, Exercise... A to Z, 1, 2, 3... F*cking A, We say... Today is here, The end is near, All come here to stay... Escape rope untethered, Weather altered sky day. Gaze at stars, Hollywood floor, Rich, Poor, More... Life is great, Life is crap, You decide, Not me... Cause all I see, Is cacophony... No sense inside of "we"... Here we are, We've come so far, RELAX... Have fun at last... Half full, Half empty, Shattered... At least we have the glass......

AM hours The time which to wonder Counting the time since I've last heard the thunder Not long ago Was the storm just afoot I let it pass by As I calmly stay put I then take a look To see just what's left My heart and my love For my heart knows what's best No hatred inside the core of my being Because my heart is for love As my eyes are for seeing Love is for hope The hope is believing My soul is for light To brighten the way The darkness of night Only brightens the day The tears of our eyes Cleanse our beliefs Until our vision is clear And we feel the relief That the storm too shall pass Just as the past The hope is then born That this pain will not last Only our heart Will shield us from hail As love is our wind For our lives to set sail Towards the unknown We take off towards the sea Until we reach the lands Where we were just meant to be..

A.M. Hours

AM hours The time which to wonder Counting the time since I've last heard the thunder Not long ago Was the storm just afoot I let it pass by As I calmly stay put I then take a look To see just what's left My heart and my love For my heart knows what's best No hatred inside the core of my being Because my heart is for love As my eyes are for seeing Love is for hope The hope is believing My soul is for light To brighten the way The darkness of night Only brightens the day The tears of our eyes Cleanse our beliefs Until our vision is clear And we feel the relief That the storm too shall pass Just as the past The hope is then born That this pain will not last Only our heart Will shield us from hail As love is our wind For our lives to set sail Towards the unknown We take off towards the sea Until we reach the lands Where we were just meant to be..

Sometimes the words Just don't come to mind Yet the feelings are there To ever remind Of the pain that exists That's meant to be stored Deep within the core Intended ignored Yet it slips through the cracks Internal bleeding Revealing that smiles Are mostly deceiving Yet sometimes believing Everything's fine Is all that is left To strengthen the spine Aging takes time Like a cheese or a wine As does letting go Of what kills us from within The day may never come When we can feel we could win But a hope lays down deep Right next to that pain Reminding that Things clear up Like the rain..

Internal Bleeding

Sometimes the words Just don't come to mind Yet the feelings are there To ever remind Of the pain that exists That's meant to be stored Deep within the core Intended ignored Yet it slips through the cracks Internal bleeding Revealing that smiles Are mostly deceiving Yet sometimes believing Everything's fine Is all that is left To strengthen the spine Aging takes time Like a cheese or a wine As does letting go Of what kills us from within The day may never come When we can feel we could win But a hope lays down deep Right next to that pain Reminding that Things clear up Like the rain..
