Fair...
Gabriel Jan 2014
As they sit, staring through a foggy window, there are no memories to record, no visions to be seen.

In the hallways are footsteps of a world that moves on, while two stand completely still, in perpetual observance of it all.

No words, no looks, merely emotions and hearts being broken as a void is left open.

One plays the weaker, letting the tightness of woe in the center of the chest overcome strength, till tears steam for the fallen.

Then reversing the role to accommodate the other, pulling the weakest shoulders of the ground to show comfort to her lover.

While the people in the hallways are still oblivious to commiserate, because the world will always spin, regardless of our time spent.

Hallways filled with many rooms, many moments that are both terrible and beautiful in a single instant, here...or gone.

A boy asks his mother, "why would they sit in an empty room?", his mother turns away from the boys critically ill father and says, "I pray you never have to know why".

......."But life is not that fair".......

Harder to catch
Gabriel Jun 2014
Captivated but the light of a blissful day,
waiting to see the next dazzling array,
I have been lost in a daydream far too many times,
turning to words I want so badly to find,
a quiet place to trap my burning inspiration,
thoughts holding great pressure rivaling a meter ton,
pen tips cannot drive as quickly as the stream flows never-ending,
is it one more thing I think or merely my mind pretending,
the process often moves to fast,
making the scribbling of ideas a habit that never lasts.
Hard is it to catch those fleeting thoughts,
but just as devastating when those realizations are finally caught.
Gabriel Jan 2014
The illusion set before, so magnificently made,
It is for this very reason, which I have not staved.

There are aspects we will never know, some we do not care to witness,
In this world of so many lies, truth is more afraid in the darkness.

All this smoke fills the land, as we peer into our own mirrors,
Attention drawn away, from the problems much nearer.

Looming shadows in the blackness, cancel all our dreams,
Making maniacal monsters, as they feed of broken esteem.

We make our own cage, while whispering about frustration,
Bashing head against wall, in a never-ending occupation.

The only release from this monotony, two blinks called a weekend,
But every day is a battle, the middle of the whole has been weakened.

Still we rise every morning, putting on the same boring face,
Because it seems no matter how hard we try, it is still the same rat race.

Effortless sway
Gabriel Jun 2014
Time is a pendulum that never stops,
tick tick tick
Can you hear the change
Loud as a tornado in the night
Do you see the lines in the sand
Fading away into a blank slate
The morning chime of a new day
Do things are fit like in a dream
Can we understand just what they mean
The fog of haze slow to burn away
The steam creates a new vision in time
Because the pendulum may stop, but never will it rewind

Just as I thought
Gabriel Jan 2014
When storm clouds rain,
it absolutely pours,
and people still walk in and out of stores,
and the sun will shine very soon,
because no matter if it is June,
or possibly May,
a good rainy day can cast your troubles away,
I do not mean the liquid that falls from the sky,
but the kind that are emotions and rush from your eyes,
the things you hold back until no one sees,
the thoughts that eat away at you like a perilous disease,
when all you have to do is release the gates,
just breath out all the hand and body shakes,
listen to your blood move a methodical rhythm,
like the drums of a marching band when the spirit is within them,
push away all your worries and false clad frustration,
and when you stand at the edge of comprehension with egotistical hesitation,
that what you perceive as a cliff was never a fall at all merely the crack of a larger foot print that show you just how small.....you really are...

Into the abyss once more...
Gabriel Jan 2014
The black hole is a pit where emotions are thick,
And the will to climb out is often ****** away.

One may see the day but in a dull grey fashion,
As the brightest day seems like a dawning night.

Emotions rise and fall like a weathered flag,
Often shaking alone in the wind but never broken.

They say a chemical cocktail will smooth the roughest oceans,
But it is not the troubled seas rather the water in the boat with me.

The hollow that is so deep with a minuscule light to reach for,
Still a fight can be made with love that beats on your door.

It may be hard to find the guiding illumination from the abyss,
There are those around that would drag fire through the dark.

If only they could make it bright enough to see,
That the only force keeping you down there.

Is the one that none of us can fight or even see....

To my son...
Gabriel Jan 2014
There are times I use this paper and pen to unwind, or merely to start the flow of poetry.
But today I hope to share, a feeling far from despair, it is the love between a father and son.
As I was not there, on the day you were brought in to this world, nor was I the man that made you.
But from your third month of life, till this moment, I have been the only daddy you have needed.
I watched you grow, saw as my heart melted into yours, such love, such caring, such kiss and hugs!
Though you hold not a single biological marker, that I can call mine, no one has ever questions if I am your father and if your mine.
You are my greatest happiness, the light on gloomy days, and even when the sun is not shining, you are my little rays.
I will always love your mother, even though we cannot be together, our love will never suffer, I'll be your dad forever.
You are only three now, and see my love as icky, one day you will see that I was there for you strictly.
You act just like I did, my mom say a spitting image, you even got my shyness, which I had never envisioned.  
And although your skin is different, and in time you will see, I was not the man that made you, but I will foster the man you will be.

My son, I love you.

2 am...
Gabriel Dec 2013
We turn pages like the hands of a clock,
merely waiting for the pain to stop.

The hurt that is everlasting,
and full of creeping doubt.

Where lacking of beliefs is in an action so dire,
blood is often required.

The causeways of life's sour disposition,
housed in simmering veins.

These lines of a most terrible descent,
locked in a loving embrace of time.

The countless seconds of infinite measures,
left in a crumbling heart, forever.

New beginnings can come from broken things,
if we only tend to the marionette stings of our heart.

Darkened shadow...
Gabriel Jan 2014
The aroma so sweet
With its burgundy hue
Drinking in her scent
While her vision eludes view

Veins pump with intensity
Red music plays its rhythm
For no normal humans propensity
Heart beats to him like a marching drum

Feeling her quickened emotions
Drawing closer with each step
She tries to cause commotion
As he quick and softly bites into her neck

The slowest embrace of ****** passion
Leaving one more lively than the other
He hates to leave her in this fashion
But vampires rarely take on lovers

So as he turns to dash away
A shadow in the night
It may not be the day
But a stake through the heart leaves ash in her final sight.....
571 · Jan 2014
Unvailed intentions...
Gabriel Jan 2014
A peacock arrives with no feathers on the dawn of broken human density, held only by the gravity of the mind,
In flux with all things,
Your possibility is your demise,
And yet a pathological transformation is accruing without the thought of that which is neither action nor reaction but a passion of interactions with the universe that is grasping to put you into her infinite embrace of wisdom and light,
To planes far greater than petty beings can imagine on a merely three-dimensional abstain.
Contemplate to step outside your brain.

Dense as a stone
Gabriel Jun 2014
While falling into oblivion would be a great shame
It might be a pleasant escape from the world's torture and pain

Capitalizing on weakness and manipulated through fear
Boosting of truth yet believing everything they see and hear

One cannot work in absolutes with a rigid one-sided mind
Nor make logical decision when to anything but their view they are blind

No time for contemplating others in a partial calcified brain
Because that is the thought process of a person surely insane

For Neanderthals have little brains that when thinking of compassion, simply stop
As it's a sad state we few have the knowledge that cavemen think like rocks
Gabriel Feb 2014
There is a hole in my head,
      it's leaking my brains,
    I'm losing my emotions,
I'm going insane,

It's hard to refrain from esoteric occupations,
living in a world of conflicted demonstration.

                                                 ­                                                     
  I don't ask for your pity in any rhetorical connotation.
                                                    ­                                                        
  I seek the wisdom....of a questionable generation.
                                                     ­                                                             
To answer questions....so patiently awaiting deliberation.

  But I leave here with no expecting realization,
  As we all can see the sign of mild sleep deprivation.

But it is so much fun to see my brains interpretation.....

No....ugly...
Gabriel Jan 2014
Beauty is what
Beauty is thee,
Beauty is whatever the ******* see
It is a flower,
It is a tree,
It is in thee,
Can't you see,
Beauty is where ever you'll be,
The sun,
The sky,
Your light,
I see,
All within the scope of beauty,
Again we cross,
So bright,
Yet clean,
Beauty is what I see in a dream,
Beauty is what I mean,
Mean to dream,
Forever a theme in a hallway unseen,
For a beauty so demandingly obscene
It is potent,
It is powerful,
Undeniably supreme
Passion,
The fire
The beauty in between,
This has to be a dream,
Her beauty makes me scream,
I am unclean,
In the love I am serene,
But my beauty is the monster,
I choose to let run free.
Beauty is me!

Certainty of wind
Gabriel Jun 2016
Glory to the sacrifice that happens in the hidden night, the silent acts of selflessness for which a nation fights.

Yet ridiculed and condemned for changing a 50 year long cycle, far too worn in to be seen as anything but spiteful.

Lost in calculated measures never possessing any direction, still terrible are those who work to make the right corrections.

Holding on to ridge tradition that's forgotten it's own place in time, never fully realizing that it had crossed it's own imaginary line.

Knowing is the key to flowing with the winds of change, even though to many might see it all as strange...we cannot deny the only constant, the certainty of change.

Formal goodbyes...
Gabriel Jan 2014
Tried to be little coy, even tried to be so very nice
So this little tidbit, I will not be uttering twice
Most firmly grip the truth, when it is all they are seeing
Yet, you merely ignore, like a person with headphones, peeing
The branch delicately extended, the olive oil gently drips
Trying to figure out, what was done to deserve all of this
For one merely requested, to hear kind words from a friend
Never knowing those neuron pulses, were merely all pretend
But moving on they say, just more water into the mote
Still never think the end, formal goodbyes were never spoke...

I don't...
Gabriel Jan 2014
I don't care if you don't like me,
The feelings all the same,
I don't seem to feel a bit guilty,
That you don't like what I wear.

I don't care about impressions,
Or what you first see,
Cause I am but an onion,
And there are more layers than what meets me.

I don't need you approval,
I can approve myself on my own,
Nor do I need to look cool,
Or show off my awesome phone.

I don't care what you think,
About my view of the world,
I don't care if you're offended,
When I look at you with bore.

But I do care if you love me,
Every good emotion I return,
Cause I don't care about your history,
As you get just what you earn.

Brightness
Gabriel Sep 2015
Ever surrounded by white light that I unfurl from my heart and mind, a blanket of great protection where evil cannot find.

The souls that I keep sacred and perfectly safe and sound, by building the brightest sphere high in the sky and deeper in the ground.

With the heart of my will I set this light with my intention, to hold the negative at bay from every single direction.

The fire in my being will never let this white light burn away, for it will always protect us through the night into the day.

56 days
Gabriel Sep 2014
In 56 days, my life will amazingly change
In 56 days all old habits will feel strange
In 56 days, I will not be the same man
In 56 days I will hold something precious in my hands
In 56 days, my heart will being to melt
In 56 days, I hope that she will be out
In 56 days, the world will welcome someone new
In 56 days, I will be the happiest person you ever knew
In 56 days I will be a father to a daughter 
In 56 days I will forever be kinder and softer
In 56 days I get to meet my baby girl
In 56 days, I get to show her off....to the world!!
For my baby girl, I can't wait to meet you!!
535 · Jan 2014
She asked me why…
Gabriel Jan 2014
I want you for the way you feel
I want you for your grammar skills
I want you for the way you love
I want you for the tightest hugs
I want you for the love accept
I want you for fighting your regrets
I want you for the depth of your eyes
I want you for the late night cries
I want you for the way I feel
I want you for how you cook meals
I want you for your softest touch
I want you for my heart you clutch
I want you for all of your compassion
I want you in the old time fashion
I want you for the mother you will be
I want you for helping to make a better me
I want you for all the things I never say
I want you for the things we will build day by day
I want you for my times of sorrow
I want you for my every tomorrow
I want you for the good and the bad
I want you even when "we" are all we have
I want you when I can want no more
I want you until I am old and poor
I want you so I can cry when I write
I want you so I can sleep best at night
I want you to share in all of life's pleasures
I want you to see that I love you beyond measure
I want you to be the earth I light every day
I want you to be the source of my happiness displayed
I want you to be my meaning of life
I want you to be my wife!
Because I love her...till the end of time.

That gleam...
Gabriel Feb 2014
Ballistic relativity within a causal space
Broken is the glass eye of forever
Compacting melancholy reveries ******
As star streams descending parish beyond night
Ephemeral are the inner feelings and sensations
Articulated when we are alone…vacant
For if, a star falls was there ever any color at all
Or was there no bother burning bright
Landing is harder then blazing out
Because every star will crash
It is all in proper maintenance
Who cares to drive the machine?
It is not just who or how you get there
More about how hard you gleam!

Wayward wondering
Gabriel Jan 2014
When I look into the sky I see forever
Wary clouds of the infinitesimal kind
Water may wash the dirt away
Wind can lead a heart home
Wisdom wants to direct the path
While instinctual feet trudge on
Wild are the hairs pulled premature 
Wasted on a sense of needed advancement
Waging enraged regret for oats poorly sown
Where have all the past time gone
Were all of the nah sayers wrong
Will the breezes cry my song.

Rainy day...
Gabriel Jan 2014
In the torn reentry of something less than perfect
I search for elegant ways to change the circuit
For a time that I imaged was worth it
Still I cannot grasp that concept of endearment
When I was always the one that feared it
In the lost temptations of seconds gone by
I sit by myself and ask the ground why
Too wet to fetch tears that are all too salty
In the end I will see that I was the one who was faulty
Not broken or wrong as in a sad country song
But in the sense of missing a component that belongs
To the puzzle of a heart that often loses its way
On the rainiest of days
516 · Jan 2014
All we get...
Gabriel Jan 2014
Memories hang around, like cigar smoke in the air
Memories hang around like indentations in carpet of a couch that isn't there
They stain you like the pigment that paints the yellow lanes
They stain you like that naughty thought that live inside your brains
They restrain from thoughts, actions, and feelings you hold inside
When they are of a lost one we like a piece of us has died
Sometimes they warm us up and yet they bring us down
They can often be the reason we cannot escape the ground
They are always with us as the crows keep them all
Memories are often the best things when we have no ability to call
514 · Jan 2014
Tighter fit...
Gabriel Jan 2014
Pressed into patterns no one will ever fit,
Holding on to the characteristics far too close nit.

It is hard to define what we see in a heart,
Often left searching for the broken part.

Chained to the pain of our own design,
Always unsure if we can change our minds.

Never truly seeing how much they were taking,
Of a broken heart, they were in charge of breaking.

Yet, we do not fit into tiny little molds,
To be conformed to what another's vision holds.

Only wanting to be our self and be truly loved,
Because a woman should not fit like a splinter, but tight like a glove.
513 · Jan 2014
Fragile Stone...
Gabriel Jan 2014
Loved,
Desired,
Aspects that are to be collected,
A loving embrace seemingly so effortless,
Sacrifices made to unite two as one,
An admiration of two never undone,
But a bridge never properly strung.

Fire,
Passion,
Built from within,
None to contend,
The burning of my pen,
Or was it my heart,
Confused from the start.

Placate
Compassion
So easily to forget,
No longer to restore what tore apart in the hastiest regret,
Broken in two foreseeing a labored path,
So we look to memories we have nominated,
Never thinking to glance back at the carnage we have abated.

Distraught,
Pieces,
But, never once ashamed,
Because only in my inner destruction,
Lies the source of my abstain,
Disconnect my heart, so effortless one would say,
Sounding much too simple, easy, and plain.
509 · Jan 2014
So sweetly...
Gabriel Jan 2014
The only thing I ever missed
Was the softness of her kiss
The touch of her finger tips
The sway of pleated hips
The taste of her skin
Feeling her from within
The greatest emotion
Embraced in tender passion
Wanting to feel her heated breath
Push for more until there is nothing left
Nails drive so deeply in seeking
Gratification expressed so sweetly
When she lays gently beneath me
I know I am hers completely
Loving her tenderly till an end
Only to finally realize
It's merely a dream again...
507 · Jan 2014
Into the grey...
Gabriel Jan 2014
The shadowiness of grey,
With the grimmest glossy lining,
Cannot hinder the sun from shining,
No matter the sky in the way.

A flower needs brightness above,
As a heart requires virtue,
The heart needs a light to turn too,
Just as the flower requires love.

Dimly woven dreams of growth,
An internal quest for progress,
Beliefs that rarely ever digress,
A path that complicates both.

But a dying star has not shown its all,
As one blast is yet to come,
So with anticipation far undone,
It does not even define the fall.

For a cloud does not sing a song,
But merely floats along the day,
Heat always dedicatedly eating away,
At the changing daydream of those gone.

But the water cycle that fuels life restarts,
Breaking new clouds into a new light,
And much to a growing flowers delight,
Never keeping it and water apart.

Tainted relations
Gabriel Mar 2017
The mechanism cracks to seep the hidden timelines pulse
Broken are those cogs that keep the generations close
Weakening are the bloodlines that forcefully hold post

Vibrations free the frequency that emit the colors unseen
Crystal structure memories laced inside a cognitive dream
Light confined in gravity while sound waves break the stream

Shift into the dark matter as being bound in nothingness
Collide into a particle as are pieces we cannot miss
Locked inside a calcium we are told cannot exist

Dripped into an hourglass are bits of supernova sand
Trapped within a reality of qubit artificial brand
Loops of endless insanity of a type we cannot stand

But where are all the opening for which we have these keys
Who has covered all the places that are kept with a freeze
Feel through all the changes that roll like cooling seas

For there is no tomorrow in the breaking of today
I am just a construct in a selfless vision of decay
Lost inside a firmament that a broken matrix can never relay
503 · Mar 2014
Fixed in strange
Gabriel Mar 2014
A brain that remains
Far too distant to refrain
From that thought of shame
That slowly turns to blame
Yet I will never complain
For a choice that seemed plain
In a moment, I had no choice but to claim
Never done simply for the fame
Initiating a coordinated change
Of the precious internal membrane
Drifting further away from lame
Treading on the board line of insane
A manic-depressive winding train
Ensuring I am never the same
As something difficult to explain
Existing on multiple planes
In a lifetime of pure strange
502 · Mar 2014
It's a start...
Gabriel Mar 2014
Broken.
Batter.
Heart abused.
But what is this lightness in my shoes.
The waters of change washing great burdens away in floods of emotional inoculation.
This raging stream within my heart, so rarely changing course, embarking found a new port.
I dare choose a certain path, for when I do, my heart will show and break the walls I have built just.
Perpendicular lines in a certain arbitration make for brutal collaborations in the releasing of frustrations,

Where my neck is pleasantly pained, my back shows marks of her strain, of passions so uninterrupted.
The deep diffusion so rapidly placed, like the strongest engine turning, on the verge of breaking.
I feel the tension of need, so accurately placed, like the invariable pressure felt by a diamond in rock.  
An embrace from the canines allows me to see, the limit of her threshold I am lust blind to see.  
Not anger, but an ****** loss of time, dipping inside your soul with fingers of my mind so delicately.  
Her pleasure is the focus of my passion.
Fully exhausted.
Loved.
Cherished.

It's a start...

Held too tight
Gabriel Dec 2014
Fearless from the start of the race rodents revere, lost fiddling with a purpose never truly clear.
How can feet carry you onto the path, when a weary heart lay beaten in the past.
Where can we run when there is no where to hide, how do we defeat that which pours from the inside.
In the bitter dust of an awakened realization, that this fear does not control the direction I've taken.
Still held in place by diminished memories, trying to envision the future that may never be.
But there were not enough colors to paint the picture, when the world in stuck in only a black and white fixture.

To hear a million lights
Gabriel Jan 2014
Listening with all senses is the key
But all picks do not always fit all lock
Tell me what your heart sings
Reading minds is a matter of habits
Failing are chances to comprehend

Tackling a friendship is like an ocean
We have only to choose a direction
But as it is with the universe of time
We may travel a straight line away
But will cross paths again, one day

And yet, I have broke resistances before
Hated as I walked over the threshold
As I pose like an irresistible dream
Not truly aware of my affect
Or to an untrained eye it may seem

Complicated are my actions in a day
But predictable lacks spontaneity
Bubbling through outward placidity
Holding on only to silent lucidity
Never seeing the unique nature of the mystery
489 · Dec 2013
A planetary love story...
Gabriel Dec 2013
His constant burn in the absolute black
Is the forever warmth to which she attracts
He sits ever still merely watching her lingering gravitational slow dance
Gracefully spinning she wonders if touching him is ever a chance
Blasting his light on the side she shows the most
She knows his brightness is always close
In the darkness his fusion burns
So he can light the universe just to watch her turn.
Some of these are old stock, I started writing poetry a little over a year ago, but I do new ones every other day, or when I am inspired.

Fire lion
Gabriel Jun 2014
Molecularly driven like a locomotive engine
Ripping Suns apart like the universe's darkest invention
Behold the fire **** streaking violently through solar waves
Colliding with asteroids taking bites as they drift away
Feeding on the life force of the bluest helium star
A collection of trillions of souls together coming to grips with what they are
Only in the devouring, can they satisfy their rage and anger
Not realizing they were destroying planets like theirs only making the fire lion stronger
By adding to the sadness and the number of taken lives
For some things, need no reason for their passion to hate and despise.
But all things can be changed with one tiny little notion
It is foolish to believe one drop can change an ocean.........but it only takes one dream!

The unsung warriors
Gabriel Jun 2015
The deepest facets of a universes unknown, deeper still in the earth are truths yet at home.
How can we know when nothing is brought into the light, how can we see when those against us bring forever night.
To hide that which a heart seeks and often deeply knows, a thirst for a reality that only grows and grows.
We ever search in the darkness for those who will bring us to the illumination, those with mental fortitude and forced concentration.
The ones that strive for truth as a child strives for life, to bring us their wisdom in a war we eternal fight.
They wading into shadows releasing what they know with convictions, forever battered and bruised as the world contradicts them.
Born as light warriors into Fadernauticus in night, destroying fabricated walls that hold secrets and lies so tight.
Spreading knowledge through the air and in deserts far away, gathering learned people who want to listen to words these warriors relay.
As the greatest challenge is to push on to never thinking of turning back, to push on for a new world because we are Fade to Black!

But who knows?
Gabriel Feb 2014
In the infinite space, between the insane and the impossible, we look for ways to contemplate the strange and the implausible.

The shortest distance to a star, is the longest step in a human's mind, a constant calculation so hypothetical by design.

But in the midst of all these emotions an ethereal subconscious fight, to describe what makes us be in a world that lacks clarity of sight.

But to define is to avoid change in a world that was anything but, and to slow a passionate mind is a train one does not want to obstruct.

For obsession may be a younger man's game in the hindsight of wisdom's sarcasms, but the winner of the game is the one not falling in the chasm.

It's hard to keep from falling into the abyss of burning, always reaching for an asteroid never filling that inner yearning.    

But as we extend into the sky to touch the coldest voids of the universe, but we will bring the warmth of our light where ever humans may traverse.

Untitled
Gabriel May 2016
Cast a line into the sea to fish for best intentions, yet caught a snag adjusting drag in a perceived divine intervention.  

To the singularity as we strive to meet the source, infinite prosperity as we ride the ripples of atomic force.

You cannot catch a moment if you never caught the wave, how can you exist in unison if you genetically forgot the way.

Dip into the chasm where inertia lost its motion, gliding on the gravity of a million raw emotions.

Pathways of forever
Gabriel Jul 2015
Memories hang like pictures in synaptic hallways of electricity,
Waiting for a sound or smell to release their authenticity.

Flowers in the wind to oceans run ashore off in the distance, hard to fight a flood when we have no built resistance.

Can you smell the cherished past that hides inside the smoke, do you feel your childhood when the softest silk is stroked.

Fall into a daydream of times that have gone by, to live within the moment that often makes us cry.

To miss the ones forgotten in gentle summer breeze, caress the textured stone as we once again greet them on our knees.

But they are never lost for we are always tethered, trapped inside our minds in the pathways of forever.

Beholder in the eye...
Gabriel Jan 2014
Penetrating deeply into a heart much colder,
Gone is the time for need of a comforting shoulder.

Sympathy and caring far less then genuine,
To the realization, you are not a patient of mine.

Seen as a sight of angelic manifestation,
While truly a heathen of antagonistic isolation.

A heart that bleeds for others without a witness,
But trying to shrink your head was merely witless.

Trying to fix aspects that I felt were broken,
Only to see they were merely ways of coping.

With problems that inflect both of us the same,
What I view is my own scope, is not always that insane.

So I see what I see, and I feel like a **** heel,
But one does not always find the need that they feel.

Slithering
Gabriel Jun 2015
Boiled blood will crystallize like razors in the veins, poison so uncivilized seeing kindness as so strange.

Attacking and belittling like a viper when they strike, pushing for the moment when a button says to fight.

So sad are poking prods forcing changes in emotion, the difference between hate and love is like a pond verse an ocean.

Always baiting kinder souls to break and cross that line, yet slithering into one that is worse will surely change the mind.

little dust
Gabriel Jun 2014
Endangered thoughts swim like dust through streams of warmth in the sunlight of the morrow.
Captured by our vision until lost outside the light.
As those aspects soon long gone fall to the ground in sorrow.
Stirred up only at the glint of an adventure into the night.
Lost in the winds of changes left unspoken.
Contemplation within dreams only dreamt while awake.
Hardly shed the words yet a bond strongest never broken.
Hard to know which is worse, the burned bridges, or the painfully open ones we rarely take.

Single ember (10w)
Gabriel Jan 2014
Chimneys' breathe hope
…Fire as they are...
Fueled by dreams…
I keep seeing the 10w poems, I felt like trying my hand at one. I hope you enjoy!

Fleeting credence
Gabriel Jan 2014
Dark pathways harbor broken dreams
But as the clam steals one grain of sand
Torn dreams may yet become pearls
It all depends on how long you hold them inside

The ocean does not stop moving so the sky can catch its breath
The night never waits for pupils to dilate to the black
Nor does the wind stop blowing so the ocean can rest
Just as the day does not wait for eyes to open for the sun to rise

Ever for
Gabriel Jan 2014
Thinking of infinite manifestation of fettered frustrations left without a quiet tongue to relay them, filled only with logicless anger from the chemical overflow characterized by serotonin long gone, failing to see into those things from the beyond, yet in our imaginations all things come to pass, as things are merely things, until they have been set in your path, so then we must define them, critique, arrange and redefine them, we look for place to align them, finding in the end...we are them. Forever

Between...
Gabriel Dec 2013
There is a very fine line between a heart and a mind,
That are often confined to the smallest of spaces.

For each logical burst, there is an emotional explosion,
leaving very little room for any actual collusion.

Logic is the mind's steady locomotive moving along,
Often derailed by the most violent emotional bomb.

Emotions are the heart's scorching streams of fire burning hotter,
But are easily cooled by buckets of logical water.

The battle between these two is as epic as tectonic,
But possibly far less visible than supersonic.

The internal conflict rages on to yield one winner without a doubt,
Typically depending on the one we most needed out.

Of all the issues that were disputed by the other,
Like making the correct calculations or choosing to spend time with a lover.

Inside sane...
Gabriel Feb 2014
Fast forward in time,
To a place that was then,
Transform the mind,
With less than paper penned Zen.
To find a believable center,
That was never quite seen,
No matter the bantered canter,
That pace that was always obscene.
But in the base of your fear,
All aspects are yet forgivable,
How is this an ever lustful portent,
Through prudent eyes so beautiful,
An ever-blending portrait,
But I am no harbinger,
No bringer of the rain,
Nor am I the carpenter,
Or finder of your sane,
I am merely the one left standing,
Standing in sardonically soaked pain,
With very real thoughts,
That I am the one who is insane.

But for love I can't complain....

Off the sun
Gabriel Feb 2014
He has never seen the ocean
Though, He fantasized about it often
The crashing of waves so loud
When the final sun sets upon them
The feel a salty warmth caress
But he knows rock and stone best
The dirt…the solid ******* earth
The concrete beneath your feet
Sturdiness you feel inside the street
To mountaintops for as long as the day can be
Tress, grass, and wildlife far apart from ocean or sea
Standing atop the ***** of our mother Earth
Yet pondering the very substance of his birth
As his body craves the love of water
The inward haze when basking in the restorer
A tune to that which cannot be ignore
Seeing the vastness of water never seen before
To feel a autonomous body all flowing as one
And all merely living off the love of the sun
I really need to see the ocean!

More...
Gabriel Jan 2014
Capillaries so ready for bursting, pure excitement that a blood is thirsting.
Exhilaration no closer than before, the feeling that you are always wanting more.
The thought of her sight fills me with pure anticipation, to which there is never enough accumulation!

Nothing left
Gabriel Sep 2015
Little to find
Screaming within
Self made walls
Pounding and beating
No cracks show
Cannot climb
That
Which left without
A way to escape
But no one
Can hear a cry
Trapped myself within
Walls that leave
Me to die
Hear the thump
Of a sledgehammer
Crash
They came
To get me
Yet found
Only ash
