American A young poet in NY trying to figure life out... / Currently trying to become a slam poet...
On the cusp of usurping the dominance of sadness, with a light in the flesh, I fly towards the moon to meet her... I'm overflowing with light, just at the sight of your star-crossed smile, I think we'll be here for a while, watching time dissolve until this "while" loses meaning, and singing, we wander the cosmos in thought, together... The problem is in thought and thought alone, only there does creation still carry itself through this dream, only in thought will we remain asleep. To relinquish all fear, will that make us God, or, bring upon a wholly different awakening... Are we still dreaming? Soaring through the sky and slipping between realms, so I continue to dream... I don’t care if I have to drive my auto in manual, I still will go to your side, for you are the sun-kissed star shine so many a night I have sought. For so many years I have fought, the urge to slip into the slipstream, becoming one with the wind. We have all sinned, and only through love can we find absolution, you and I are the solution for one another... I sit at my computer sipping *** and orange, and all I can see are your pristine aqua eyes, paragon pools other metaphors envy. This I call calm curiosity, the enthrallment ethereal, a cosmos contained within emptiness, you bring forth a warmth that for so long has been absent; sure it’s just our imagination, but hell, that’s the true creator behind the veil is it not? Emptiness enthralls, curiosity captures, but for a moment, only if that moment can be perceived, to preserve false perfection, protection of an age old illusion. Avoid illumination within the void lest you wish the truth set you free. Radiated pain permits perception, however reluctant, and it is now that I know simply, that I am among the living. How few are actually left... In this vicious cycle, the sickle swings faster and faster, nearing my nimble end if ever I slip away.. Ahh concrete heaven to kiss me good day... I see the strings that hold us up, except the marionette has gone and we ourselves play this charade nonchalantly as if there were nothing else... Take away all movement within a moment and what is there? Who are we behind the many masks we wear? I walk around with this semblance of humanity, practically profound yet lost atop the cosmic carousel we call life. watch me wither and breach the barriers, illusion within illusion, to hear the calliope muted subconsciously, to awaken from this dream would that make me God? Or shall I simply disappear behind padded walls? I think being this close makes me feel so far away, and now I know I am far more human than I give myself credit.

Finally, I now know death           Albeit a resurrection Eight red pills began the dissection          Of my finite ego.   Scions of a different kind gain momentum           Finding love's erosion Corrupting my conscience           A trip was in order.   A dizzy Carnival,           The calliope muted                             As decorated stallions dance   My recklessness reaches its peak            So what the hell? A soothsayers sorry signal as            The venomous ***** gyrates,   My eyes bleed with regret.   As the chemicals persuasive grip subsides,             The trip done, A schizophrenic clarity remains,     My heart empty My essence renewed

Chemical Epiphany
Baby, I think that maybe, We've ****** up. Cause we've been force fed such fractured fallacies like, A Jewish zombie who is his own father, A chosen people, and immortality. Oh and did you know slavery was OK? How about **** Yeah the problem with an endless line of orphans is the exponential loss of the truth of our cosmic dead-beat dad. Well now, The hand that feeds has fallen short, with the founding fathers roll in their graves. Whilst silly sheep support Disillusioned delusions dressed, in Red White and Blue, Wait for their cue, because The Republic is being held at gun point, with modern Gestapos ready and willing for the killing. The final days of momma democracy await. Zealous jealous and out for blood, with a cross across their chests as they proclaim; "IN HIS NAME, WE SMITE YE!" Now thats just jurisdiction to judge the jury. And now She showers us With this Vampiric ecstasy, As they mask our mothers ****** under the banner of God. As they wipe away the blood gushing, from the slit throat of Lady Liberty, with whats left of our crumbling Constitution, only to wrap her in a once glorious flag, now despoiled with The poisonous blessings bought by the pontiff of flame whose pseudo fame is a sign that this clandestine facade will end soon. Yet still we must deal with another contradiction, another, convoluted convulsion of consciousness severing our ties with that good ol' American dream. So watch them promote our fall, greeting hell-fire half-heartedly, these sanctimonious masses amass, a menacing masquerade. See they've paraded on the moral high ground pointing the finger without the grounds to back themselves up, aside from a dusty old book and the rusty rapturous moans of defiled men. As chosen children I chide you, for archaic superstition must be left behind, a fact that most may find, a tad bit unacceptable, even while you drive your SUV's and gorge on Mickey D's, while you gun down doctors and destroy human intelligence. Remember the dark ages? Guess who made them dark. Your men on top ****** male prostitutes and tap dance in the mens room, denying every allegation; look, this is a nation stuck on revelation hell bent on escaping damnation. And they say I'm the Devil! One worth the reapers embrace, those carcinogen caricatures carried by the book. When fear rules their hearts, Destruction and War beget by their weakness. Now all I say is throw it all away, Live, **** and Love. Just imagine a world free, free from terror, war, hate, separation, and segregation. Imagine finally clogging that cancerous ventricle our country holds so dear. Imagine the end to a crutch, A spiritual mod, Imagine a world, Without the illusion of God.

His Grieved eyes stare down the barrel Teeth clenched, dressed in flame, she's got a soul to steal.             As faint rays of day trespass A ravaged passageway The long forgotten bell tolls, Accenting this tired tryst, With the accelerating sunset Dying the skies a capillary crimson, Just another piece of scenery Behind this scene of deceit.   The burnt shrine supports his skull, As through tears torn tapestry and shattered glass His vision is over powered by the pin-up with a pistol standing Point blank.   The dilapidated temple calls for one last mass, one more sacrifice A fantastic funeral pyre paid in full, with the sins of Helios.   The words escape, “I love you” Only her tongue matches the sky And theres no way to block out her incandescence   His tears of scarlet Splash against the cold steel his teeth grind All his hopes, all his dreams...all that he is Now just organic graffiti Splattered All across the neglected floor of a forgotten Church. With the horizon swallowing the sun, she vanishes in the dusk,  And as he falls, so too, does her ring. Two bonds broken, death they sing.
