Working Day
Curtis Oct 2014
This day is a day for play
My creativity is poking me
Shouting
Hey!

Aware am I
All the things around
I want to write them all
Write them all down!

I want to play
A pretty guitar
I want to end
The working day!
224 · Apr 2016
Late Night Light
Curtis Apr 2016
I wish i could take a picture
One to share
From my eyes
That ive just seen

A kindred soul
Walking the streets
So late on this night
In spring
224 · Oct 2014
Observe
Curtis Oct 2014
I see the sun
Through the trees
And breathe
The steady breeze
224 · Jun 2015
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
220 · Aug 2014
Just Thinking
Curtis Aug 2014
And I ask

What energy
Is held
Within whatever
You may consume

I consumed
A cigarette
One that I
Politely bummed
220 · Apr 2014
Light
Curtis Apr 2014
What is this light?
This light that i see?
Wonderful
Every light you see
Every little light
Even you and me
You need not clarity
What it is you may not see
But that theres energy
Thats beauty
Something creating
Something to see
Cause without light
See would not be
It is of light
That makes you see
That cradles the eyes
Of you and me
Light shine on my vocabulary
And let from it be shown
Creativity

Why Me?
Curtis Aug 2014
"Why must it be me?"
The words of a bleeding man
Bandages in hand
219 · Sep 2014
Wait
Curtis Sep 2014
I wait
For nothing

I wait
For no one

No weights
Always free flowing
218 · Feb 2016
Vent
Curtis Feb 2016
And this is the time
I'll be up tomorrow
To start my new job

I've got to spend
These hours i've spent
To sleep instead of vent
I've had so much to say tonight
I'm glad i can still write
218 · May 2014
Land of Dreaming
Curtis May 2014
I wish to return
To a place I yearn
Where I never learn
And my stomach never churns

The place in my mind
A place I'm far from blind
Where strange adventures I find
No worries of unclear signs

Dreaming
Of anything but
My internal bleeding
217 · Sep 2014
Hands
Curtis Sep 2014
Don't be afraid
Just hold my hand
I can help you
Through this broken land
215 · May 2014
Rain
Curtis May 2014
I love the rain
And the thunder
Destroying
Cleansing
Then birthing life new

These house they flood
And people act
As if it's spilled blood

Blame nature
If you must
But it is you
Who lives within it
215 · Aug 2014
Complexities
Curtis Aug 2014
Every mind on this earth
Is just as unique
As the very universe
That surrounds them
213 · Aug 2014
It's All In Your Head
Curtis Aug 2014
The things you do
The things you see
They make not you
They make not me
What makes you
Is what you percieve
213 · Sep 2014
Plan
Curtis Sep 2014
Consumed I am
By the exertion of energy
I just need some sustenance
Then back to my plan
212 · Jun 2014
Path
Curtis Jun 2014
It is funny I find
We live within a circle
Yet we choose
To live like lines

Time
A number
Sewn to thee
But never
To the endless galxies

This
Some beings cannot see
212 · Aug 2014
Human
Curtis Aug 2014
What is it
That we humans
Do best?
The answer
You will find
When we rest
It is what is released
In our mind
Even in the day
From time to time
It is what colors
A computer green
When a human
Simply dreams
211 · May 2014
Darkness
Curtis May 2014
A pain I feel
For reasons unreal
My stomach aches
Every beat of my heart a quake
Why is it
I'm still awake

These feelings I know
I try not to let show
Except to paper
For it does not judge
Even in the sorrow in which I plunge

My mind unraveled
And the color of ink
Deeper into sorrow i sink

A journey
I go
Through a damp cave
Where no lights glow
As i near the end
My sanity will surely ascend
Sorrows no more
And life seems less a bore
211 · Oct 2014
That's it
Curtis Oct 2014
I'm done!
I give up!
I give in!
I'm ready now,
For new life to begin!

Look to a fruit
Your favorite fruit
It has a name

If that fruit
Were a person
How would it view
A fruit that is of the same
"I can say what I want to
Even if i'm not serious
I can play what i want to
Even if
Im just kidding"
-Tool
209 · Oct 2014
I Embrace It
Curtis Oct 2014
There is no such thing as nothing
There is always something
Some emotion
Some feeling
Some being

But is it life?

That's up to you
209 · Sep 2014
Reality?
Curtis Sep 2014
It is not about,
The energy we percieve.
It is all about,
The things we see.

At least,
In this reality.
206 · Apr 2014
Food for Thought
Curtis Apr 2014
Weak minds understand the problem
Normal minds understand the solution
Strong minds understand both
I expect criticism for this one
206 · Sep 2014
So
Curtis Sep 2014
So
So
This is life
So
Watch me flow!
203 · May 2016
Writing
Curtis May 2016
I want to write a song
A poem, a book, a script
I want to write a sonnet
What ever that is
I just want to write anything
Feel the words flow through me
This morning I can't think of anything
No topics to explore
No conversations of how I slept the night before
So I'll just write about writing
Writing about me writing about writing
I slowly tap the tiny squares on a screen
If any old poet could imagine
The ways that we write now
203 · Apr 2016
Meditation Medication
Curtis Apr 2016
Often do i wonder
Whats its like
To have a quiet mind
202 · Sep 2014
Poetic
Curtis Sep 2014
Nothing means more
Than my poetry
A bridge of no distance
To my inner energy
200 · May 2014
Where?
Curtis May 2014
It hurts me so
To not know
Where my customer could go
He was old
But kind
And you are cold
You not care
I ask to where?
You know not
You only know your contact
You care only about a contract
I fear the worst
But expect nothing
Mr. John klein
You were certainly kind
To show up to a customers house, with people cleaning it out, and not knowing what happened. Cold hearts work and i wonder.
200 · Sep 2014
Play
Curtis Sep 2014
I wish for nothing more,
Than to help find their way.

Infinite meanings,
Behind every word I say.

Will you?
Come out?
And play?

Untitled
Curtis Apr 2016
Peace
I talk about its wonders
Its calm grasp
The anchor to the soul

The gentle breeze as it passes by
And through you

The birds
And all their wonderful songs

But the truth is
I dont know jack **** about peace
199 · Aug 2014
For the Lulz
Curtis Aug 2014
There is a certain sense of beauty
Almost like a building
Covered in ivy
When I can order a beer
With no fear
Of anyone checking my I.D.
Do not let it be told
I am not one year older
Than 20
199 · Sep 2014
Breathing Deep
Curtis Sep 2014
I find it hard to breathe these days,
But I make sure I do.

It's just another small task,
To help myself get through.

If i can,
Then why can't you?
198 · May 2014
?
Curtis May 2014
?
An empty page
As is my brain
I fill with words
And work towards
My mind without pain

What to do
What to see
What is it I look to gain
A line between
Dream
And reality
198 · Aug 2014
Give
Curtis Aug 2014
I purchased today,
A meal,
As is done,
Everyday,
But this time,
For me?
Nay.
For one,
Who could not pay.
196 · Nov 2014
Open Your Eyes
Curtis Nov 2014
What makes a universe
Is not what's inside it
But what experiences it
195 · Apr 2015
The Moon
Curtis Apr 2015
The moon tells us when its night
And tells me its alright

Holding on to earth so tight
To see its vibrant light
194 · Sep 2014
Always
Curtis Sep 2014
I'm so tired.

Love, the night before.
Work, the time of now.
Sleep, the distant future.

Happy, always.
193 · Sep 2014
Two Choices
Curtis Sep 2014
Agony
Or beauty
In the face
Of infinity
190 · Apr 2014
Who Was It
Curtis Apr 2014
Someone had asked
Hello, what does it mean
I think i have found
I think i have finally seen
What hello actually means
Its more of a question
Than a greeting
It asking for a hand
A hand to help guide
And move you along
Its the bridge of language
From me to you
Hello
Do you choose to cross the bridge i have made new?
190 · Sep 2014
Shame on They
Curtis Sep 2014
How can one say
There is black
And there is white
But certainly no grey
189 · Jun 2014
Today
Curtis Jun 2014
Today
Is one of many
That I let myself
Feel sad
Lonely

Just Writing
Curtis Oct 2014
Observation,
A powerful tool.

Consciousness,
It observes you too.
188 · Sep 2014
Once Again
Curtis Sep 2014
Well hello
Once again

An old friend
An only friend
Inside my head
Released via pen

How lucky I am
To have you tonight
And everynight

Comforting and smooth
A glass of scotch
So right on my lips

Bottle to the last drops
I always make it last
187 · Sep 2014
Being
Curtis Sep 2014
I am awake
Alive
Ready
To live today

Breathing

Free Coffee
Curtis Aug 2014
Nothing like a gesture
From one friend
To another
To make me feel
A thousand times better
185 · Sep 2014
Happy
Curtis Sep 2014
You should be happy!
You should be glad!
Infinite experience awaits,
For you to be had!
Love Love Love
184 · Sep 2014
Free
Curtis Sep 2014
I need to sleep
I love to sleep
The place where
The soul can creep
But i want to see
All the eyes can see
Just eternally be

In the end
What else are we

Free
184 · Nov 2014
Waking
Curtis Nov 2014
Everyday
waking
to new life
the only thing that is
is now
A record of my thoughts, pay no mind
183 · Aug 2014
I Still Dream of You
Curtis Aug 2014
I can't believe
After all this time
I can see you
And still wish you were mine

Let it free
Let it go
Let it be

Always understand
It's all infinity
