Wait
Curtis Sep 2014
I wait
For nothing

I wait
For no one

No weights
Always free flowing

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

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
209 · Oct 2014
Observe
Curtis Oct 2014
I see the sun
Through the trees
And breathe
The steady breeze
209 · Apr 2016
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
208 · 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
207 · Sep 2014
Hmm
Curtis Sep 2014
Hmm
Adjustment to time
Is nonexistant
To the life of a rhyme
206 · Apr 2016
Untitled
Curtis Apr 2016
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
206 · Sep 2014
Plan
Curtis Sep 2014
Consumed I am
By the exertion of energy
I just need some sustenance
Then back to my plan
205 · 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
205 · 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
205 · Jun 2014
Eyes
Curtis Jun 2014
The eyes
The ears
The body
The mind
Individual beauty
They behold
In harmony
204 · 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
203 · 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
203 · 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
203 · Sep 2014
Hands
Curtis Sep 2014
Don't be afraid
Just hold my hand
I can help you
Through this broken land
202 · 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
201 · 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!

Complexities
Curtis Aug 2014
Every mind on this earth
Is just as unique
As the very universe
That surrounds them
200 · 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.
200 · Sep 2014
So
Curtis Sep 2014
So
So
This is life
So
Watch me flow!

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"

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
195 · 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.
194 · 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?

Poetic
Curtis Sep 2014
Nothing means more
Than my poetry
A bridge of no distance
To my inner energy
190 · 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
188 · 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
187 · 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
186 · 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
186 · Apr 2016
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
184 · Sep 2014
Shame on They
Curtis Sep 2014
How can one say
There is black
And there is white
But certainly no grey
184 · 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.

Open Your Eyes
Curtis Nov 2014
What makes a universe
Is not what's inside it
But what experiences it
183 · Sep 2014
Two Choices
Curtis Sep 2014
Agony
Or beauty
In the face
Of infinity

Today
Curtis Jun 2014
Today
Is one of many
That I let myself
Feel sad
Lonely
179 · 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?
179 · 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

Meditation Medication
Curtis Apr 2016
Often do i wonder
Whats its like
To have a quiet mind
179 · 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?
178 · 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
176 · 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
174 · 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

Free Coffee
Curtis Aug 2014
Nothing like a gesture
From one friend
To another
To make me feel
A thousand times better

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
171 · 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
169 · 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.

Purpose
Curtis May 2014
I'll play a game
I'll smoke a cigarette
I'll read a book
I'll watch some tv
I'll write a poem
I'll play some guitar
I'll go for a walk
I'll pass the time
I'll do it by myself
