Sun
Oh sun you shine so bright
On my face and into my life
Spring is here and is a friend so dear
Until winter comes and chills my beard

**** winter.

Breathing

No thoughts just breathing

No worries about tomorrow just breathing
No thoughts of...
Oh, right
Exhale

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.

ADHD and Lies
Curtis Oct 2014
Aware
Of all the things around
Distracted
By a sound
And they look down
Curiosity gives them a frown

There's something wrong with you
If you notice everything
You're too right
For this wrong world

So take some Adderall
While your small
And watch your world fall

Meditation
Is far greater
Than medication
For a dear friend
Soon to be lost
Reeled in
By adderall
And lies
It made him feel he was wrong
Now he does not want to be right
It is for him this poem i write
But for you
It is an understanding too

Fingerprints
Curtis Aug 2014
The ease
Of untouchable flow
Where every input
Equates to an equal output
A mans love
For technology
Pure logic
Fits like a glove
To hide

Energy
Curtis Apr 2014
Energy
The fact that it is
Not what it was
But that it is
The fact that it exists
Ahh can you feel your mind twist
As you pull past the curtains
Of what makes your mind go
Worry not what it is
But please let it show
Let it be the light we see
Let it make you whole

Guitar
Curtis May 2014
The subtle ache in my fingertips
Where calloused skin now grows
The love for my guitar certainly shows

I cannot wait
For the work day to end
So I can venture off
Guitar in hand
To the place
Where suburbia dare never blend

Amongst the trees
And a calming breeze
Beautiful music comes with ease

What things today may hold
What people i may meet
Is to be untold
Whatever the case
Amongst the beauty of growth
There be not a better place
To venture off
And put on a smiling face

Clay
Curtis Oct 2014
Ahh,
Another day.

One to let my mind wander,
And let my mind play.

Life is substance,
similar to clay.

Just shape it,
Any ol' way!

Orange
Curtis Oct 2014
A faint,
Orange,
Glow,

Creeping,
Flowing,
Towards my fingers.

Moving slow,
Both me,
and the glow.

Consuming,
Burning,
Conical shapes blow.

Into the next day,
Creeping,
Flowing,
Glowing,
I go.

Overworking
Curtis Oct 2014
Playstation.
Running as fast as it can.
Lava flowing through,
From component one,
To component two.

An engine.
Overworking.
Solder joints and Silicon,
The things that break,
Difficult to be undone.


Metal and plastic.
Assembled in crazy ways.
So soon to be,
In so many realities,
A state of disrepair.

Sloth
Curtis Apr 2014
I am myself
I live free
I pity those
Who do not know themselves

All you see
Are the people you need
The people you use
To set your mind free

It is the sin of sloth
To only think of others
You are worth not your time
You know not time
You think for pain
And ask what you have gained
Nothing

You need yourself
To be set free
To see others
Whom they really be

I was there
But my mind has been cleared
I have lost all my fears
And become a deer

Dear,
You will be there
And I'll be here
Come to me
When you're free

Mint Chocolate Chip
Curtis Jun 2016
Some days are just black and white
Greyscale, monochrome
Just plain
Vanilla ice cream

Other days are vibrant and astounding
Kaleidoscopes viewed through kaleidoscopes
Completely original and new
Mint chocolate chip

And for me it seems
There's no in-between
Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream <3

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

Foggy
Curtis Sep 2014
What is it?
About today,
This day!

The air seems wrong,
And just a bit strange,
Like time is thin and long.

Breathing is just not the same,
A lion whos too angry to tame,
Anger however not to blame.

Something is missing.

A hotdog,
Without a bun?

A clown,
Void of fun?

A comedian,
With no pun?

I'll venture forth
I'll tackle this day

Hopefully something good comes my way

Telescope
Curtis May 2014
To stare into the craters of the moon
Is a reminder that we will be returned soon
To the grips of a black holes' tomb
And this, brings the furthest feeling from gloom
From death something new will always bloom

Green Grass
Curtis Sep 2014
Theres something
I would like to ask

Sitting in this coffee shop
Watching as time laps

In this country that we live
A part of a mass

Yet divided
Amongst social class

I imagine now a cow
Eating green grass

And kids
Being sent to class

Learning
Green is what lasts

As we eat
We raise a glass

While somewhere
A cow eats green grass

Overpopulated and overgrown
Do the farmers farm too fast?

Sword

My Thoughts on Ebola
Curtis Oct 2014
Death,
Comes at once.

A singular point,
In time.

Unfortunately,
Death does come to the masses.

Only every so often,
But it is ok.

Everything is a cycle,
Life moves on.

All we can hope for,
Is good people,
When the rest,
Are gone.

I heard a rumor,
Of zombies.

A fantasy of mine,
In prior days.

If it is to be,
Let it be.

Hopefully I can survive,
And be ebola free!

Not once will i sit and say,
Woe is me.

It is a significant moment in time.
For that,
I'm glad its experience is to be mine.

Frustration. Frustration.

Determined at heart

Maybe have a real taste
Like lifes greater divine
