Hands Crossed Over my Chest
Curtis Oct 2014
It makes me uncomfortable
To know
We bury men
In the most comfortable position

I feel like I sleep
Like I'm in a casket
252 · Apr 2014
Language
Curtis Apr 2014
Language is beauty
It is the connection from you to me
It is a feeling through sound
By noise we are not bound
It is from sound we are free

Language may be the same
But its energies be not tamed
Through each person speach
Its power
Is up to thee
252 · Aug 2014
The Line
Curtis Aug 2014
So now
The line we walk along
Becomes clear again
Always clear
Again

I can see it below me
Always there
Never to not be
The sight grows old
I make it blurry
To somehow feel bold

The line we walk along
My focus no more
I look everywhere
But the floor

Happiness
Curtis Oct 2014
Today
Is a good day
Seems every customer
Has let their happiness
Come out and play

This is the way
I wish it to stay

Sweet & Sour
Curtis Aug 2014
A sour day
Turns sweet
With every wonderful person
That I meet
250 · May 2015
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
250 · Nov 2014
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

Sparks
Curtis May 2014
Creativity is overwhelming me
Why now!
I must sleep

I want to play and write and think!
I do not want to sink
Sink into my dreams tonight
Only to be awake before mornings light!

There need not be such a schedule!
To think twenty-four is to be a fool
Why waste this spark!
Why must I sleep in the dark

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

Sun (Continued)
Curtis Apr 2014
There need only be
One ever so warming fire,
The sun that shines down on me.
One ever so giving earth,
The ring of life that surrounds me.
One ever so cleansing water,
The cars passing that resemble falls.
One ever so friendly wind,
The one thats keeping me company.
I'm missing water

Stream of Consciousness
Curtis Sep 2014
What is life
Why is me
Why live to see tomorrow
When all this time is just to borrow
Why can't we be
Why is there something wrong with me
I just let my problems be
It is what makes me
Me
Life would be better if i did not breathe
Others would life a life with ease
What is it that you smoke
My mother told me to stay away from dope
I think I will take a ****
Lifes a mess and it's just broke
I'll listen to music and every sad solemn note
All the burden and pain I have to tote
No beauty have these hands ever wrote
What is life
Why is me
Well wait a second
Can I not just be
I wish I were some source of energy
Who can live and love and certainly see
I think that is who I am meant to be
This thing we smoke
It is just a plant?
Why then do they tell me i can't
What else exists that I have not tried
Don't do these shrooms your brain will fry
Don't mind if i give em a try


Hey well now i know why
I'm just a normal guy
And now I have some reasons why
Life is full of things to try
As I float amongst my day
It seems alot less work and alot more play
With not a need to bow or pray

Therapy
Curtis Aug 2014
Poetry
Is healing
To me

It is the disinfectant
To my wound
Or the seed
Of a creative plant

It is the return
Of sanity
And all the time
I refused to unwind

It seems
That I was right
Therapy
Was a worthless fight

The battle i bear
Is in my mind
And through it
Truth I did find

A risk I took
To go it alone
Almost left me
Blind
Almost left me
A body to find
But i realize now
I can finally see

Poetry is my therapy
247 · Apr 2016
Patience
Curtis Apr 2016
Breathing in
Letting go
Patience is so easy
To misplace

Ive never had it
Im learning to keep it alive
A little plant
That grows inside
246 · Apr 2014
Sadness Part Two
Curtis Apr 2014
It lingered
Like a cloud
Like it was proud
But dont worry
I came around
245 · Sep 2014
But
Curtis Sep 2014
But
Sometimes I feel bored

All the people
All the places
All the things

All the same

I descend
Into fantasy

Seeing new things
Having crazy dreams

Often too far i go
Destroying my flow

Sinking and falling
Into myself

Looking
Searching
Reaching

For something new

Then cross my mind
Death comes through

Certain of a promise
Of everything new

Stagnation then sits
Just as rust pits

Coming ever closer
To destruction

But

I choose to stay
Now and everytime before

No two things
Are ever even remotely the same

Only the place
From which they came

There is always infinity more
And it is me

That makes me bored
245 · Sep 2014
Endings
Curtis Sep 2014
I have made up my mind
To *** I choose to be blind
No love is there to find
No longer desire to bind

To myself
I am now kind
To love another one must love one's self
245 · Jul 2014
Why Not
Curtis Jul 2014
And so I thought
Why not
As I walked to the park
As it's dark

Anxiety
Threatened to **** me
So im going to sit
Amongst the trees
And the leaves
And just be
Just be me

Cigar in my hand
No words
No plans
Just me
And poetry

I got ice cream today
And to several girls
I would have liked to say
Hey
Did I?
Nay

I cant keep up with my thoughts
So I dont
I just remain lost
But not here where I sit
Where suburbia splits

Here
I am safe
I can think of no better place

Music is measured by time...
Or is time,
Measured by music?

Don't Drown
Curtis Oct 2014
Drowned by the world around
Learn to swim
Don't ever sink down
Float to the top
See the light
Because it exists
Even in the dark
Inspired by my favorite band
Tool

Hello Followers
Curtis Jul 2014
Ever wondered,
What it's like to be dead?
Just spend a few months,
Inside your own head.

Remember,
You're not insane.
Your mind,
Is a beast to tame,
And life,
Is just your game.
How are you today

Curtis May 2014
1/2
Down to the last
Burning in my hand
It soon shall be past

Smoke
Harsh
But smooth
Somewhat clashing
With my mood

Blaghcdgbgjbhhb
I need people
The kind i'm not used to
Ones who make me feel
The opposite of blue
I have not one
I have two

Both named nick
Whom I did not pick
Around they chose to stick

I am lucky
And grateful for these two
They make me feel
Less than blue
Stream of thought forced through poetry

Some organization
Is better than none

Dear Self

How shall I
Exert my energy

I'm Sorry
Curtis Apr 2016
Well
I wish i could've given you
What you gave me
Incredible feelings
The electricity

Since then
I havent been the same
All these thoughts
Weigh heavy on my brain
Its hard to enjoy something when it feels selfish

Love
Curtis Apr 2016
I love this world
I really do
I love the sun
The trees the birds

I love the people
Most of them anyways

I love the questions
That have no answers
The things we cant see

I love life
And i love death
I love the duality of it all

Its spring now
And it can't exist without fall
242 · May 2014
(I)t Meant Nothing

Kissed you
Because now
I only miss you
And we should
Have never
Slept together

Work seems small
And life seems easy

Mindless Rant
Curtis May 2014
In the land of equality
We are anything but
"It is the opportunity
Not the man."

With my brother in a suit
And I in a collar of blue
It would seem
Agree is all i can do
But that is far from true

Mostly
It comes down to you
And what you choose to do
But there is a factor
A medium of exchange
Thats pressed into our brains

"You must not know you,
Only the thing you choose to do,
The thing to make you money."
The concept just is far from funny

With the world we live in
And the effort it takes
For a computer
To make
A computer
We surely can't rid of this medium of exchange
Bartering is for fools I'm sure
My country tells me so
And to work for my country I'll go
238 · Sep 2014
Philosotherapy
Curtis Sep 2014
All my life
The people I have been
Accepting strife
With little trouble to be seen

The answers from others
Always bleak
My presence I felt bothers
I was once very weak

One common suggestion
Was simple therapy
It answered no question
What was it that ailed me?

The answer,
Was the lack,
Of my own philosophy.
Discover what you percieve.
Curtis Oct 2014
If i were to sleep
And wake up

Somewhere different
Someone different

Would I ever even know
238 · Aug 2014
Love
Curtis Aug 2014
I long to love
No
I live to love
As we all do
To passers-by
I ask how do you do?
And stick around
For the desire to know
Is truth
So I love
The things I see
And the people i meet
I'm merely just waiting
For my special treat
It has got to be just around the corner.
Which corner? That corner? That corner is quite far, how about that corner? The one near the bar? Please don't tell me, it's among the stars, I haven't a spaceship... I shall build one! With endless corners inside, maybe then you will be found, when it is ready to ride?

Universally Speaking

Love all the beauty

With all the words

Hey
Curtis Sep 2014
Hey
Speak freely friends
With a voice that echoes
Bring the sound of your soul
Where no sound goes
Upon deaf ears
Your voice glows

Breathe easy friends
Let your wind blow
Pull the wind back
Until your thoughts slow
Being of the earth
Zen is what you know

Oh Winter...
Curtis Oct 2014
Rainy
Cold
Dreary
Winter on its way

Regret
Sorrow

Is much easier today

Oh Winter
You never seize
To throw mind to fray

Please
Go away
236 · Oct 2014
If You Will
Curtis Oct 2014
Think of your favorite movie
You see it
Hear it
Feel it

What you feel
Through a screen
Revealed

Imagine all things

If you will

To be revealed
In such a way
As a memory

Well,
I had a poem.

Should've written it by hand,
My **** web browser went bad.

I am just a bit sad
Like an experience
To have never had

Hey,
I guess this one's not bad.
I can never stay sad =)

The Most Human Questions
Curtis Apr 2016
I really miss you
I mean your body
And i think your soul too

What is a soul exactly
I often wonder and think i may know
But i dont
I have far yet to grow

Is it a place, much like here
Where i leave a bit of me
Every so often
So that something stay behind
If i were to ever die

Or a more catholic approach
On saying its all that i am
And i must be what i am
And hope to be what i am
Again
In a better place

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

History
Curtis Aug 2014
In this place
Housing history
The air seems still

From old coffee
And the cup where it rests
To the garment
Once embracing gentle *******
And many mens eyes

Left now
To hold tight
To a woman
Of plastic

Notes placed
And misplaced
Some to be seen
Behind a glass case

All things
To never change
Only occasionally
To be forgotten
Worin' at the Richfield Historical Society

Significance
Curtis Aug 2014
What difference
Is the significance
Of the objects on display
Opposed to what I wear today
I don't know that anyone could say

Open Up
Curtis Apr 2016
My love for you
My love is true
But why must you feel blue
Letting guilt and sadness shine through

Soon youll be gone
And it will be long
Before i see you again

Please
Open up to me
Let me see
You

I missed you
Now youre back
And i still miss you

My broken brain
Has trouble understanding happy
Maybe in a moment
Or in a bottle
But sooner rather than later
Saddness takes over

Chemical imbalances
Feel like ledges
Im just inches
From reaching

I dont want pills
I want to be happy
