Masquerading twilight
Before and after
Temptations like a riptide

Are a trap the devil in disguise

Love is a camouflage
That eventually fades
Endless drought

The gig is up

Unfortunate truth the enemy
Is lurking everywhere
I proclaim my allegiance

To the creator of life

I want a varnish
That won’t stain
I want to shine like the sun

On any given day

To find my rightful peacefulness
And soak in it
Tell my innocence

Is fully restored complete me

Echo chambers like a sonic boom
I’d welcome eternal silence
Over any of this

May I wake

With no recollection a new me
And a clean mind
My ego is bruised

Heart is shattered in pieces

Convincing myself of the things
That just won’t happen
I’m exhausted at the thoughts

Of becoming a

Content happy being
You messiah have all
The magnified authority

Please grant me permission

To join you beside your throne
And give my soul the purity

It has always longed for and deserved

Tangled endlessly
Equal parallels
Swallow me whole

Let me confide In your forgiving light  

Shower me in your
Compassionate peace
Hollow points

Do the complete Opposite

Forceful movements
Far from Graceful
Decoding the devouring impulses

Positive to negative

A chain reaction
Sends shockwaves
Bad chemicals

Like a slithering rattlesnake

Megaphones spewing
Conquerer of
Escalating dreams igniting

The call of life’s dramas

Heads or tails
Is there truly a winner
I pray in silence

Whispering under my breath

Crying aloud
Hoping my tears have dried up
Faking it tell you make it home

I’m all outta fairytales

Tired doesn’t even begin to sum it up
My head feels like mash

From all the overthinking

As I scrabble to rewire
The Bad Transmitters
Before my broadcast abruptly ends

If EVERYTHING in your LIFE feels urgent, nothing is.
Not EVERYTHING in LIFE can be a PRIORITY.
MASTER the skill of IDENTIFYING what really MATTERS & what is truly ESSENTIAL.
START putting your FOCUS and ENERGY there and watch your LIFE start to CHANGE.

Condemnation in cycles
A tinted self
My backlit canopy

Couldn’t shield me enough

Optical of the Universe
Ink my levitation pass
Cryptic skies

No longer a bleak atmosphere

Deeper in thought
Then ever
The scriptures I hold dear

Closest to my chest

Words of hope lift me up
I offer myself
Up to you if it will help

The way I’ve been feeling

Evaporate permanently
Circling the wagon
When will my sacred heart

Show itself completely

Bleed no more
Purity is what I seek
Path to the alter is full of obstacles

Patiently awaiting

My transformation
I’ve taken an oath
To remain faithful only visible in

The eyes of the beholder

Felt in the deepest spaces
Tarnished walk of life
The whole world in the palm

Of your hand

Yet you’ve profited nothing
You’ve found
You lost your soul

And betrayed yourself

All in the same breath
For what exactly
No amount of riches here

Can compete with what’s
To be revealed
A magic carpet ride

Bathing in the vastness  
No amount of riches here
Will bring a steadiness

And truer
Peace of comfort to your soul

Like that of gadol

Hijacked
Irrational thinking
Heaven forbid

Kinder gestures

Sweet amazing grace
The uninvited guests
I surrendered too

This bloodsport has

Spilled enough blood
Taken enough prisoners
Evading the trenches

Collapsed doom and gloom

No more harvest moon
Having it’s way
Time to rewrite my story

Alleviate the anxiety

Soften the blows
Make the lyrics
Speak quieter

Soak up my soul in sanity

Soil me in effervescent sunshine
Unpolished I have been
I don’t shine like gold

Few truly do

All the chitter chatter
Has gone to my head
In the smallest of increments

It doesn’t necessarily obliterate

Me to the core
Simple known truth

Behold the changing of thee guard
Maybe finally in progress
Jay Jelly Aug 10
Succumb
Too the notions
Up for interpretation

The wheels that went flat

Yet kept on going
Proceed with caution
Sightseers all aboard

In unlimited numbers

They flocked in droves
Vocalizations hammered
They often

Tasked me in there dwellings

And hindered my ways
Intersecting avenues
Should I have stand pact

Put My foot down and just drove away

Instead I caved and parked
Running red lights
Like a bad habit

I couldn’t shake free from

Along with the falling trees
That fell
And blocked my paths

Preventing me from going forward

Dissection by default
My unwavering
Imagination

In need of some fine tuning

The boulevards
That threw me in there wake
Riding in the carpool

Lane was never lonely enough

Because my stagecoach
Was always overflowing with
Hitchhikers that wouldn’t

Just take another train

Sobbing
Past life persona
Feather under my cap

Nihilist guardianship falters

Sleepwalking
In sorrows
Squashing the urges

Never lessens the pain  

Un~ Masking the confusion
Calling out a
Everlasting calming

Total recall

Like a deer in the headlights
Faulty ~ Kinship
I might as well

Have been Adopted

Sensory overload
Maybe this is all obsolete
Crystal ball

Tell me all your ***** secrets

Curse the paths of my life
No more will
You rule over me

Who or what can predict

Future or past outcomes
Furthermore I rest my case
Holding all the cards

Close to the chest

Beckon of light
Guiding me in another direction
Rewinding all the tapes

And watching it all

From the beginning
There is zero chance
Of that ever happening

A life lived is just that

I’m laying down my remote
Taking my gloves off
Why would I wanna take

Another look clairvoyantly
Through someone else’s lens
Only to be blinded by darkness
