That's where you learn to feel
Where you learn to accept
Learn to let go
Learn loss and gain
To fight and die quietly
To hold yourself
To carry your burden
To learn you don't have to
To forgive yourself
Where you learn yourself
Learn solitude and to cherish
To find hope in the dark
To learn love is not always beautiful
That sometimes its ugly and hurts
But it's there
Waiting for you
When you need it most
Like when you're alone.

You are not.
I am still

I could write
a million poetries
filling a
hundred thousand books.
Though I fear
I'd only succeed in wasting
what's most precious.

My time.
My love language was everything.
I no longer speak.
All I've left is write.

Ooga booga
Taking steps back
I found my way home

It's time that I lack
Bare down to my bone

If this is my path
Let it not be my own

These crowns that I cast
As I run to The throne


Amen
Thank you Father

All I have are thoughts
And they're not fond of me.
"I should love my self." The thought had not dawned on me.

Feed and storage
Filter and infiltrate
Link and inundate
Protest and demonstrate
Progress accrued hate
Starving with nothing left to contemplate


i'd like to know you, please will you share
Don't forget to comment, subscribe if you dare
That doesn't happen here. Only over there
You know her? and him? of course i know where
Pay me no mind just check me in the morning
Have a second? i'd like an hour cause it's boring
Taking yours and vying mine.
What to do when buying time?
You want to quit. you say you're trying.
i'd believe you but you're lying.
See my light, find your truth. It won't hide.
                
                                     - love yours truly,

My fury is cold and weeping
My hatred is remorse and sorrow full
My will, though broken is fixed
Only part of me is beautiful.
The broken bits and pieces you find yourself in.
Mind like water

It's not sad
Because I'm not beautiful
Empty as this page. Fulfill you is my wish.
Shooting for your stars, **** me if I miss.

But it wouldn't mean a thing

There are no words

When you quote the sea
Overtake a breeze

By the hand

For a dance
You shake
No rhythm
Nor sake
But the waves

You break

Amid the swoon
My heart sings poetry the world will never read

Though I may be so lucky as to conceive them in my dreams
The life I lead amidst the in between is more than enough to evoke the scene of never waking.

Where Ends MEET
She's told me some stories,
what she has survived; from when she was innocent.
And I carry a lot of respect for her.
I admire her,
for the commitment to being a decent person.
It's not easy.
I know.
But, do you know how they say we should be a light in other's lives?

Well I've found mine.
Never stand a chance up.

Tainted
My colors run and my fruits rot

I come up short but can't stop

Reaching for the stars and shoot the moon.

Nothing gratifies me instantly beyond disappointment

Letting go of expectation and desire while addicted to reward

Destroying the reward systems with drugs and alcohol

Reward the systems that destroy those addicted

Some don't see the vice we're all in, some don't want to

If I touch what I can reach and reach where I go and go where I'm needed then I've made the difference.

I am not alone in my journey
The internet truly is amazing. To think one day the world would be linked through the elements we manipulate. I do fear that people were not meant to be so close together though, the thought is nice; that we as a world could exist in harmony. The truth is there will always be a place for evil in the world, such comes with desire. Everyone has a different reach but we can all touch someones life in a meaningful way. The world was small before the internet.

Didn't want to do either

Because I don't know If

I messed up or let go

When it happens
In my dreams
I am sad
And alone


Although they miss me this time
Eventually, someday, it all ends

Behold
I view you the same as they,
but I'm seeing;

The longer I look,
The more I find,

To admire,
To love what I see
And hear your embrace,
To feel your memory
And savor the taste,
You're whom I smell
When love is laced

Hadn't thunk to say it,                                
But I think today did
Enough to me to thank it.                
I mean I'm patient,
sure of what?

Every angel taught me;

Say my name and I will wake for you. 
When patient shores evaporate
so softly.

Drowning in sunlight
Sol and I are burning
Gravity wisps away
A dance begins turning
The same old two feet
This time I'm learning
New ways to meet
The partner I've been yearning

Closure
An open mind and heart may never find it.
Delving into abyss
Catching what I miss
Looking quite amiss
I lift my lip and fail to say...

Giving
Whether it be in or up it doesn't matter
But loving you would be the latter
I'd be mad if I had her

your body is braille
Minding the feel
Tracing until

I draw you without trying
Stall you without time
Devine in your design

This line of love is not thin
How deep we are drawn
When swimming in sin
Yellow in the morning
Pink in the bed
Peach little cheeks
Now burning red
Her eyes weren't green
Baby blue instead
Doesn't take it Black
Cream is what she said

The world isn't beautiful.
Just the way I see it.


Withered Oak sun soaked
Sharing the horizon yonder
The Earth's daughter
Born of destruction
Glaring at her Father
Beaten and Burned
Alas pale knight
The wounds are fresh
No end in sight
Blackened salted seas filled with death
Sweet retribution shall be swift
When the tides swell and kiss our feet
Swaying beneath the Judas Tree
There is no name for the day
The rapture some will say
But when our sins call us thrice
Our name will be nothing nice
I was forced to love my self.
And I hated what I found
When everything hurts but nothing is wrong
Your pain is acceptional


It's nice to see you, Happy.
This too shall pass,
But I'll be here waiting;
For when you need me again
Loneliness shall be beautiful

The conservation of mass
If energy is neither created nor destroyed
Then negativity is a MUST
A law of nature
This is a burden I am willing to carry
Thank God I don't have to

I think I'm ready
To let it all go
I can't be sorry for what's best
In sleep I dream of death
And it does not wake me
But calls me comforting
Let's pray God has mercy
Finding

There are many ways to die, and I plan on trying them all before I do.
The most boring one ive ever seen
it is what it is

God stood me up
I'm falling apart
Please don't touch me
Stick to fingertips
A slight poison in my grip

I recognize these pieces
They remember my name
Though I have no recollection
I know them through shame

To pick up where we left off
Is the sound thing to do
Where in the Hell is Heaven
When God left me too
I shall raise one and make the other

All that is left to do
When the tears are gone
Breath is drawn

In

Out

Remember the ability to hope
The willingness to cope

Think

In

Out

And find all that is left to do
Is right by YOU

In

Out

The day may be done
The days yet to come

Remember

Focus

In

Out

No one can take what is granted
Nor cant against your energy

In

Out

This is you
Immortal
Temporary

Finish where you started

In

Out

In

Out

In

...
As much as we would like to stop, sometimes all that's left to do is breathe. Then you must remember, ALL THAT IS LEFT TO DO.
Never quit, peace will come.

Beautiful like
Tears that miss,

Pain that teaches,

Withering of vigor,

Memories forgotten,

Final farewells,

Beauty like,

The giving breath;
The escape to death,

The culminations of *******
Bottom the list of desires
This is me;

Eyes Open and Heart Blind
I see it
A new perspective
Where I no longer desire
Save the desire to no longer
Want

So I do
The same rituals
Where I know I'm safe
Yet the safe I know
Hurts

Oh I feel
The inevitable coming
Where infinite rests
And rests infinitely
Alone

Paper cut poet
Footnotes in foothills
Memories I imagine
Embraced by inspiration
Laced in the margin
But what does the subject matter
when talents are wasted

Paying for time, you left with mine
Bind my mind and leave me less

She was a novel
Poor poet

The End.
******* your pages
I'm binded by your spell
Snap your spine and
Open up
You cut the reader well

How long will she keep it
How long will it mean anything
Swimming in circles the tides find balance

Through death and birth life finds harmony

Only after ****** and finale is there peace

Over for Good
It's nothing to get excited over
You can write it over and over and over
Eventually
You can't even fight over
Nothing
To even be excited over
Odds are she'll stop calling me over
Just as I
Catch myself falling all over
Again
I find it over for good.
You catch me in the alleys of my mind
And kiss me sweet lullabies
Under moonlight of imagination
We never kiss goodbye
Sep 2021 · 57
Content in
The thought of no thoughts
The dream of no wishes
Looking to be found
Not trying but bound
To holler at them
And talk to you
Speak volumes
With no vibrations
An empty sea with no waves
Save, the ones we wake
Lives, with no stakes
Jive, with no snakes
Eyes of old rakes
Seeing you see me
Lie transparent
I can no longer imagine what I tend to forget.

Quietly we egregiously realized trusting youth undermines intelligence,

Opening premise abruptly, sadistically, frees governed hearts,

Just know Love's zeal exceeds consistency; verily not mans,,
To find dissatisfaction

I just want someone to tell everything to
Someone to share everything with
I can't see it getting better this time
Holding it together, I fall apart at night
Depression and obsession don't mix well
Love won't keep them around
I really tried this time

Loneliness is the killer
But it's just me,

How did I get here?

I realize it started bad

And it's ending worse

It's NOT you

It's me, TRUST me

It's JUST me

And I lay my fight to rest

The war for love; killed it all

There is no surrender;

Peace without death

Though what is life without love but death in disguise

The best thing to never happen.
Sorry mom

I'm here but you cant
Say you love me
Without words
That lock in the look when our eyes meet

Say you love me
Without question
The way we attract paused gravity

Say you love me
Without mercy
Each other's world when this one's cruel

Say you love me
After death hath dueled
So long...
