Bukowski
Curtis Jul 2015
The disconnection
Feeling of unfeeling
Somehow puts things right
Puts my mind at ease to write

Desire
Curtis Jun 2015
Oh the beautiful beast
Bringing out the worst in us all
Doing things we know we shouldnt
Spending what we couldnt

The fire that rage be
When it leads you to fall
Another stepping stone
To stand on and stall

To rid the thoughts of a much brighter day
At the price of one for certain
No cost can cover the losses
Unless she leads you

To that beautiful place

Kind
Curtis Jun 2015
I always wear a smile
Even if i dont want to
Its called being kind
Considering what others go through

Everyone has something
That pulls their mind to a twist
But to see another smile
Is knowing happiness exists

This is my night
Curtis Jun 2015
I choose to live it
I choose to own it
I choose to be with it
Instead of sleep it

I feel the wind
Pass through me
I feel the sounds
Soothe me

Walking around
At such late an hour
Fills me with passion
And so much desire

Desire for another
Another night like tonight
Another wind through my soul
Another feeling to transpire

I will burn like a fire

Its Cool To Help
Curtis Jun 2015
Tires still spinning
As we swiftly approach
A mess of metal
A mess of traffic

Pulled to the side
Then to find
The man and his dog
Safely alive

She swung the door up
The truck on its side
The man came out
Panicked like hed died

I then hopped inside
Grabbed the dog
Up and outside
Glad they both

Still alive
True story

Rebuild
Curtis Jun 2015
So sure
That my footing is right
Up one rung
To fall down a ton

The ladders much taller
Than id ever thought
And infinitely weaker
Up near the top

Down on the ground
In a pile of wood
In the place
Where the ladder once stood

Time now
To gather some nails
To rebuild the ladder
I thought would hold

The clouds are calling
I can feel their words
I look to them
And look back down

The time to rebuild
Is now

I Was Free
Curtis Jun 2015
I need your eyes
Help me see

I need your ears
Let me hear

I see in you
Not one fear

Lend me your mouth
I don't speak often

Lend me your skin
Mine so void of comfort

Tug my strings
Help me move

Just don't let go
Ill fall tangled

Ill wait on the cold hard ground
Hoping a new puppeteer come around

And there ill wait
And ill wait, wait

Too much time shall pass
Too much string with too much slack

One day i may open my eyes
Without another willing it so

But Ill close them once again
Sleep awhile, have some dreams

Dreams of freedom
And of places far

Nowhere near
This cold hard floor

When i awake
My eyes will open

Ill feel something
Something new

My legs theyll work
Without a string

I could move
I could squirm

Tightening the web of tangled string
Constricting me to this awful place

And so again
My eyes will shut

Forever bound
To this awful rut

Ill dream again
Of things bazaar

And places
Way too far

"The dream is a better place to stay
There i can move, i can play!"

In my dream
To myself i would say

But every dream has its end
And i have to come to life again

So my eyes would open
My legs would move

Knowing not
What i should do

But i could feel my hands
And move them too

With them i feel the string
And the prison its been

Id tug so hard
As others would do

Hoping it would help me move
Away from this place, somewhere new

And once i would tug too hard
The string from me had broke

I knew then what power i hold
And had an idea bold

Id gather my strength
And gather the strings

One by one
Pulling them from me

Eventually i could stand
And finally

I was free

Nutcase
Curtis Jun 2015
Adventure and all its joy
Experienced by girl and boy
Replaced with an electronic toy
I have one too i wont be coy

These things are ok but as a tool
No replacement for interaction at school
Or any excuse to act like a fool
But ive done all the bad things too

What we need is a new place to go
Some new acts to this long boring show
Im done with what they want us to know
I can hear the truth in the wind as it blow

Why dont we go to the very best place
I speak of the infinitely vast outer space
It leave such a curious look on my face
Or perhaps im just your typical nutcase

As Fast As
Curtis Jun 2015
As fast as one runs from death
As fast as a car drives
As fast as a bullet flies
As fast as the earth does move
My racing mind just as fast too

Trails
Curtis Jun 2015
Ive wandered far
Down different paths
Till my legs got tired
Till my feet hurt

It took so much time
To feel the concrete
And how unforgiving
It is on my body

It took so much time
But now i know
The grass is
where my feet belong

I blaze my own trail
I hold my own
Freedom is worth all
That leaves me skin and bone

Life is not yet what i dream
But i know thats where i go
Towards the life i want to know
In hopes to see others on trails their own

Curtis May 2015
Life is but a dream
You know thats what they say
Not every dreams a good one
Especially not today
But i have a good feeling about tomorrow
And that makes it all ok

Up Up And Away
Curtis May 2015
Searching for more
Getting a grip
Feeling the air
Fill my lungs

They pulse
In and away
Like my heart
On warmer days
Or my hand
Clenched in cold
My racing thoughts
And getting old

Up a rope
Infinitely long
Pulling and pulling
Lungs, stay strong

With not my hands shall i climb
Up up and away to the divine

Cloudy Mirror
Curtis May 2015

Covered in clouds
The sun is
No where to be found
Memories passed
Floating around this town
Like the shadows
Covering the ground

Knight
Curtis May 2015
I have a sword
On the wall
I see past the iron
I hear its call

I like the weight
Like i've felt it before
Maybe sometime ago
I was in a brutal war

Just a decoration now
A conversation piece
For the thoughts on how
Chivalrous knights lived life
May 2015 · 472
Think
Curtis May 2015
Of the things you want to see
The places
You might want to be
The choice
To set your mind free

The world you want to love
Is nothing you're above
Nothing you're below
This is your act
This is your show

Energy only wants to flow
The path least resisting
So stop resisting
And start existing!
Go with the flow

Yanno...
Curtis May 2015
If i spent all my time
Making up rhymes
And all the less time
With corona and limes
Maybe id be
Just a little less blind
Maybe have a real taste
Like lifes greater divine
Pulling the pieces back together

Unexpectation
Curtis Apr 2015
To be shocked by joy
And the jolt of surprise
To feel the warm rays of appreciation
Defibrillation to a stalling heart
What a sign to see
To help me return to my lost art
For Sophie, Thank You

The Moon

The moon tells us when its night
And tells me its alright

Joker
Curtis Dec 2014
And in this reality
there's absolutely nothing
a joke can't see
it's all just chaos
Just short infinity
Thats infinitely long
Just like my *******
Built up and brought down
theres never a dull moment
for this silly clown
everythings weird
But it's that concept
that i hold dear
Laugh with those
who laugh at fear
"Get that fork outta my face"
Dec 2014 · 344
Embraced
Curtis Dec 2014
Waking to the world,
to see it in embrace,
with the holy one,
that holy sun.

And outward i reach,
with hands and feet,
to welcome the world,
embraced be my beat.

Holey
Curtis Dec 2014
For someone
who claims
to emit
such great vibes

I find it hard
To believe
Your holey
mouth of lies

Truths hidden
deep behind your words
To think i do not know
is truly absurd

All the dimensions
And all your talk
you seem to forget

Never Not Be
Curtis Dec 2014
It's about coffee
especially today
i need some caffeine
and energy to play

Lost in my mind
in a good way
i watch the time
Soar far far away

Im still, gentle even
A rock in a river
soon to be sand
Soothed by the flows

Give me time
soon you will see
The purest white
on a beach by the sea

And there i will hold
the legs of the relaxation
of people and chairs
Beauty seen from upon me

I will hold the gentle flow
away from those who beauty I show
and be with them to let them know

sand by the sea is something
that will never not be
Happy

Dreaming Again
Curtis Dec 2014
And just like that
We were together again
and not in any way
other than what has been
but im not sad
At least i know
im dreaming again
Lost in a land of broken matter
Lost is the world of perfect dreams

Olivia
Curtis Dec 2014
It wasnt so clear
until just then

when upon her eyes
i looked within

i dreamt of eyes
A long lost friend
but what suprises
me the most
Is that i remember
just what color
they were back then
Dec 2014 · 293
With the Sky
Curtis Dec 2014
If only i could tell you
the meaning of my dreams

Only ever consisting of
The wildest, craziest things

Like being atop a roof
of a giant, Giant Eagle building

One that I so easily scaled
I must be good at climbing...

But why?
Maybe i just like the feeling
of being high

Or maybe
Im with the feeling of one
with the sky

Astrology
Curtis Dec 2014
Massive stars
Ever burning
burning bright
bringing life

Born in life
at the ending
of winters strife
Aries, the fire bright

But does it not make sense?
Look to the greatest things
The great givers of energy
then see the energy it brings

A star born of spring
burning, burning
Hear the song fire sing

Time
Curtis Dec 2014
The distance from an epicenter
In such a way we can measure

Two thousand fourteen
Only distance percieved

All this and all around
one layer to surround

All the layers are all from one
Every piece and all the suns

Once exploded
Ever reloaded

To travel to another day
Carry on in the same old way

But to another layer
Is for a real player

I am getting close to you
But there are things I must do
To make all my dreams come true

Curtis Nov 2014

Love
is about
loving
love

Knowing others love
being a peaceful dove
being from above

Lets go be what we are
and lose all of our scars
we are all among the stars

Light the street
Let them see their feet
never missing lifes beat

We are one
But one with our body
Be with me

Be energy

Curtis Nov 2014

comes with knowing
when to joke around

The time to not

Go
Curtis Nov 2014
Go
I want to go
thats it
just go
i want to move
I want to flow
let me go
watch me go
but most of all
Watch me grow

I want to lose myself
In infinity
not just a town
or a city
the whole world
Can be pretty
some parts though
Get ******

No time before
exists now
Time ahead
a field to plow
but what to do
and where to go
Just gotta let it ride
just gotta be the flow

Dive
Curtis Nov 2014
Standing before the ladder
As i lay to fall asleep
slowly up
i start to creep

I find myself to the top
A world created just for me
Feeling the bounce beneath my feet
Just how long could this dream be?

My feet to the surface
less often now
Feeling my self come up
and come down

Up higher now
And forward
further now
Falling backward

Back to the ocean
the ocean I've known before
when the alarm wails
I put my feet back to the floor
Curtis Nov 2014
Heavy hands
Grasping tight
Paper reflecting
Dull green light

From a distance
Demands be made
Any normal man say
I just want payed

Being no normal man
Hollow green not
in any of my plans

Green of earth
is where i choose to search
im sick of this rich mans work

Spiral Out
Curtis Nov 2014
As above
So below
They say

Looking up
Is looking down
In a way

But being down
Finds a place
Where only you play

Heaven above
Hell below
Theres a border

Waist not
Your time
It's sacred

It's divine

Polar Opposites
Curtis Nov 2014
Brothers
one argument
to another

Always an attack
When defences down
The time for a strike is now

You have life figured out
You're set to be
a government flea

I have life figured out
I'm set to be
Free

Don't.
Question.
Me.

An Odd Day
Curtis Nov 2014
I want the sun
always above me

i want to feel
heat

Energy
wrapped around me

With its cease
Space
is what it leaves

Something always
amongst nothing

Nothing
never something

Change of states
energy to matter

Matter to energy
makes a big boom

And the energy
That changed to me

Is no longer free
Stuck in the body

Stuck with time
And occasional rhymes

Often
i find

Senses go blind
and energy

It traverse
the labyrinth

Lost
confused

Free
me

It screams
It sees

But only body can bleed
and worry for what the body need

Until the energy one day
is freed

Then
but not only then

Will i be
happy

But im happy now
not even death brings me down

Points
Curtis Nov 2014
Points
they poke
They ****
they hurt

Slipping through the skin
reaching red withing

Pyramids flow
To the tip that glow

Pointy
its introduced

Its ideals
are obtuse

They have
a mental use
Just getting my mind cleaned up a bit dont mind me
Nov 2014 · 381
Bits
Curtis Nov 2014
Well.

hey,
hey.

hey!

I've found it again,
the write things to say!

The words flow,
Like the blood often go,
A dry faucet nose,
****, it's getting cold.

The year,
Once passed,
Held winter,
And it's people,
All in one grasp.

The other hand,
It used to clap.

Applauding the crowd,
The unhappy people,
Cars crashed all around.

Mine crashed.

It's six feet underground.

But it's ok!

I'm free this day,
from all things yesterday.

This winter I remain,
All bits sane.

Respiratory Rhythm
Curtis Nov 2014
In,
Then out.

Give,
And take.

Void,
Then full.

It's all a rhythm,
It's all flow.

Why do I have,
so much trouble,
Though?

A star burns bright,
Brings things to life.

When gone,
And burnt away,
If no other star,
There be no day.

But in its death,
Its slow pass,
It erupts.

Everything,
Everywhich way,
Toward the star,
Will not stay.

And where it was,
Where the star did die,
There is nothing,
Just a hole left behind.

Void,
Then full.

Give,
And take.

In,
Then out.

Contemplative
Curtis Oct 2014
What is it?
The certain feeling,
I get?

When i smoke,
the occasional,
Cigarette?

A calming clear,
A sudden cease,
Of all things fear.

Desire,
To spread,
Hearts fire.

Creative I become,
With one cigarette,
Addicted to none.

To throw mind to fray
