Infallible. Imperishable.
Unwavering. Immutable.
Neither subjected to limitations,
Nor to transformations.
Death and decay -
None of them in your way.
The permanence of the divine
And the permanence of the stability.
Amidst the ever-changing world,
There is unchanging eternal reality.
There's an eternal reality.

I cut it because,
I know that I I don’t.
A cold swollen body,
Won’t always float.
Saltwater’s more harsh,
It stings in my throat.
Traversing the seas
In a decommissioned boat

They say when the lungs,
Swallow it in,
You're taken over by calm,
Three scars on your shin.

Can't go to heaven
One child is cold
Trigonometry
I'm far too old

Lies, Lies
"Listen!" She cries
Don't hang out with Satan

But Satan's a raven
Created by hands. Oh,
My body forever shaken
I captioned this “written during algebra.. got yelled at for not paying attention”

We become soil and ash
We all do, decompose in the east
If my knees can’t carry me up the hills
If the millipedes can’t have a feast
May
Trying my hand at,
stopping putting myself down.
Showing some mercy.
It is easier said than done,
when it's all you've ever known
I can only write,
about things I know of life,
how I see the truth.
You could break my heart,
with lots of satisfaction,
with no reason why.
You've done it so many times,
my hearts come to crave the pain.

IN TODAY'S RUSH WE ALL THINK TOO MUCH, SEEK TOO MUCH, WANT TOO MUCH,
AND FORGET ABOUT THE JOY OF JUST BEING
-ECKHART TOLLE
You intrigue,
With your unsubtle unsettled intent to decieve,
Breadcrumb clues
Your gender;
(don't care)
Your age
(don't care, but oft
Insightful)
<>
Only two things do I require;
Any name you wish to provide,
(So intriguing, always a poem in & of itself),
And from where you hale/hail,
So my imaginings can fly to you
With full embrace
