0 equals "without"

0 equals "without limit"

0 equals "limitless light"

All that exists within limitless light is

One
LeV3e Oct 2016
Words...words, words
Words don't ******* work when your
Mind conducts the chorus ticking
Time distorts our memory until the
Image of ourselves is bleak and left
A lie, alone we shall only ever know
Not a single true thing that's happened...

I can't unlock the doors to my perception
Can't break the floor of my depression
The streets all pour out with indiscretion
Protesting our right to withhold confessions
This process wreaks havoc among friends...

They're just ******* sounds...
How niaeve of me to ever really believe that
I could get to know somebody.
To be deceived by my needs to
Exist socially among busy bees
But we're all just working.

Drinking on sweet honey
Lick her bottle neck when it drips
And don't worry darling when it stings
You're only getting the tip
You're only tasting your own buds
These grooves'll rub your toungue raw
And I saw the way you moved when
That vibration killed the mood and we
Lost the connection.
Inspired by a bad day and a good song

100 poems in a year

100 thoughts in a second

100 bubbles in a beer

100 cracks in the cement

100 drops on a sheet

100 degrees in the summer

100 hits top the charts

100 stars can't solve hunger

100 reasons why we live

100 ways things could change

100 seasons blessings give

100 days and leaves fall again
LeV3e Apr 2018
Tick tock tick
Clock strikes addict
Time's come for ******
Hands stretched thin
Reaching black heavens
Minds finally free again...
Tick tock tick
Until clock strikes addict
LeV3e Jul 2017
If a djinn could grant
My only three wishes
Your soul I'd enchant
With limitless riches

With boundless visions
Of dancing witches cast-
Ing, fire from spliffs, this
Grass smokes so delicious

Smoke's so capricious
Swirling in wind like thoughts
Gone in an instant
Winds lost to our vision

Make your decision.
Signed in blood, your silver
Lined medallion
Mark of the magician.

Reconciliation
Ravens speak with dogs teeth
Cleansing breathe of fire
Bless my intuition.
LeV3e Feb 2018
I broke bread and
Shared my liquor while
You spit trash on mine
Behind my back
You bruised her ***
And took a hike
The animosity is like
Sandpaper on my
Red eyes are fixated
On your demise
It's hard not to fantasize
What it would feel like
To smash my knuckles
Cracking your bones.
You'll never atone
For blasphemous words
Turned against your own
Exiled from home
And I hope you
Die alone.
LeV3e Jan 2017
Another day in the life
A shadow cast upon the earth
Cold atmosphere caresses your skin
Warm blood is the gift of birth
Iron flavor coats your tongue
Swallow the ***, for the next of kin
Begins again, and again, until
You learn life's final lesson.
LeV3e Feb 2017
The sound of your voice has been a
Bittersweet symphony since you
decided that touch was too
Much between us, I see your
Walls getting thicker, sea your
Shells smelling salty, waves
Crashing all around us, save your
Breathe dear child, Ill
never understand you anyway...
I miss the taste of your lips anyway...
LeV3e Feb 2018
Love = Lust + Respect
LeV3e Dec 2018
If you're too soft they'll chew on you just to prove you wrong.
But
If you're too hard the slightest change will fracture your brittle core.
So
Balance these concepts of gift and swallow to show them all that kindness can also be a force to be reckoned with.
LeV3e Feb 2018
A feminine exists behind
My thick, hardened masculine side
The troubled years have taught him pride
So he keeps her locked up inside

My pretty face exists behind
This massive, burly beard of mine
It grows without needing to try
Giving me a safe place to hide

My piercing eyes exist behind
Two glass lenses with frames that shine
Tools I use to focus the light
Bending photons, clear as the sky

My tattered soul exist behind
A legion of spirits reside
Amongst djinn they are unified
In my body they crystalize
LeV3e Feb 2019
It's been two years now and
This is our third Valentine's day
But I still find it difficult to say
How you've impacted my life from the moment our journey began

I've always struggled to face myself
My shortcomings were haunting
Ghosts of past failures, stunning
I was ready to let the liquor take my dreams and bottle them on the shelf

Then a whim, a ray of hope
We met in such a rare circumstance
I knew I was given one more chance
To be with you I could, and I would, change...you were my antidote

You are the cure to my depression
In moments of weakness and axiety
In moments of fear and agony
To be with you I could, and I would, face my demons and leash them.

You have brought out the best of me
And on this Valentine's day
I just wanted to say
That I hope you spend the next fifty Valentine's days with me.
LeV3e Nov 2017
I stand against those
Who speak against mine
No pity for slobs
Who sulk in the grime

I'll work to the bone
Grind stone into dust
I'm building a home
And I'll do what I must

No guilt in my heart
For treading above
Insects in the dirt
Rot crushed into mud

Nature demands much
So my soul provides
Through turmoil and rust
I'll continue to climb

To conquer my foes and
Leave enemies behind
RIP flags from their poles
And burn men alive.
LeV3e May 2022
I'm so obsessed with
Being better that I'll
Be better at being worse to, you

In our worst moments
You'd better remember
The rhythm of the words we spoke, cause

Through better or worse
Until death do us part
My better half is your worst
LeV3e Nov 2016
Getting nervous, feeling alone in my brittle beige sitting chair.
Biting calloused fingers cause the nails aren't quite fitting there.
Tearing at the layers of tough bunches of skin cells
Cutting cuticles ****** cause the pain is kind of exciting when,
The boredom creeping in your soul leaves you
Desperate for anything that you can control, so
It eats at your digits and carves out your mind.
Until regret overwhelms all of the wasted time.
LeV3e Nov 2016
I never thought you'd take it so far

A clever girl with spots running across

Your cheeks were pale this morning

It reeks of foul play and burning

Black tar bubbling on a hot summer

Days in the sun remind me of the

Night we soaked each other in liquor and

******* basements are chilly when

Your blood runs thin, the ink soaks skin

Needle ****** again and again but

This time you stayed asleep.

Rest in peace...old friend.
LeV3e May 2018
If God is a lense
Watching eternity spin
Would it spend a cent
To notice my blemishes?

If Sin is a debt
Building up interest
Could I make payments
And buy my way to heaven?

If Love is a gift
Shared by all of man
Would you fill the rift
With the warm blood of a lamb?

If Christ walked on Earth
And saw my sad words
Could he read the verse
Or, would the foreign letters blur?
LeV3e Sep 2016
If I could list off your flaws
I'd put my name at the top.
Not your acne, that doesn't bother me.
Not your shaggy hair, three days *****.

If I could pile up your shortcomings
I'd seat myself upon a throne.
Not your blissfully ignorant youth.
Not your wistfully exaggerated woes.

If I could collect all the darkness
I've ever witnessed in your acts
I'd keep it closest to my heart
Where my shadow holds onto addiction.

Despite our differences, my sweet sinner
That which makes you ugly, makes you human,
And if I am to ever love your ruin.
I'll learn to love my hate for blisters.
LeV3e Jan 9
I never thought I'd go back to smoking
But there's not much to do here
Besides stoke the fire.

I spent a year watching it all crumble
So I tucked my tail between my legs
And went home humble

I wonder around trying to stay busy
There's so much that needs done
But I'm so ******* lazy

I thought I had conquered my many addictions
The shadow of my past haunts me
Causing these afflictions

I've been in a panic, knowing I'm undeserving
Happiness and success aren't for me
The pressure is unnerving

I can't handle drugs like I used to
My palpitations make me anxious, but
What else can I do?

I gave it my best, and tasted the good life
My art has been seen by so many
But I was stifled

Now I'm just bored, so **** it I'm smoking
The feeling of nicotine is
better than nothing
LeV3e Oct 2016
Oh, what it would be
To be by a redwood tree.
As far as the eye can see
Beams penetrating the canopy.

Oh what it would be to breathe
West coast sea in the breeze
Dancing through all the leaves
Whilst fairies are singing...

Oh what it would be to read
Ancient history within rings
Written never to be seen
Yet recorded by seasons rains.

Oh what it would be to be
With you smiling back at me
Right now, tis but a dream.
With hope, but a fantasy.
LeV3e Aug 2016
There's a pit in my stomach
Standing, idly by, see,
You punched me in my time
Slots spinning in my mind
Stuck, relying on the grind, but
**** your "authority". I
Find it kinda ironic how,
Businesses are built from the ground
but, Up at the peak peeking down,
Sits vultures, who's ***** seeping out
Slick sick liquid so stout,
Poisoned souls, lost in a shroud
Searching for a way out of the cloud
but, it sounds too profound
to ****** the crown from your brow.
It's here, that I've found that
To sow seed, requires a plow
And, to sell ****, requires a down
Payment, is owed to the old
Heads stone cold, as the bread
Hardens our hearts, to the souls
Auctioning off it's moral code
Sold to the highest bidder
Gold fingers are bitter when
Biting your nails is for dinner.
Capitalist sympathizers call me a quitter,
And Jehovahs witnesses all call me a sinner,
But my brothers and sisters consider
Smokin' some refer, the smell that still lingers
Open your pockets, I hear your silver still jingles
I see your water is filtered,
So let the minerals flow
To my bowl, pay the toll
To get the grow that you'll roll, cause
Money solves our problems when
Our problems are each other, and
There is no end in sight, so spite the
"Honor" and the blood we've spilled,
We fight to keep the flag up high
Beside our minds, to cope with all
The hopelessness of our demise
In Jesus name, I shed this tear.
LeV3e Jul 2016
Like a butterfly fluttering into my life,
Your presence as fleeting as my time
On earth, you rest for but a moment,
While I attempt to move a bit closer.
Attracted like a moth to the moon light.
Your colors are so beautiful I just might,
Learn to fly myself, so that I may follow.
It's been many years since I've left my hollow.
Yet, fear of the world will not falter
My new found love, step upon the alter
So that I may see the source of your color
Patterns in your eyes, so vast I shudder
At the prospect of knowing You... and then you continue to flutter, for I stepped too close.
LeV3e Jan 2018
Anger can well up in a flash
I Snapped like photos in a black
Light proof room full of times we clashed, and
The water spilled over
Blurring our memories...

Hate can take you in an instant
Down lonely roads marked with regrets
Decisions that you can't take back, and
There's no sense in wishing
To go back to the past...

Fire burns everything into ash
Smoke filling my lungs turning black
Flesh rots then it's lost on times behalf
Forgiveness is my last
Hope to beat the hourglass
LeV3e Feb 2018
"How are you today"
"Good, and you?"
"Good, a bit chilly out"
"Ya, at least the sky's blue"
"Well, how can I help?"
"Oh, I'm just looking around."
"If they don't fit, we carry belts."
"I think I'll just take the gown."
"That'll be twenty two, thirty five"
"Can I just swipe my card?"
"Sure, your ID looks nice."
"Thanks don't get too bored."

Rehearsed conversations
Fitted like a mold
Commodity interactions
Just doing what you've been told.
LeV3e Nov 2018
Where does compassion meet justice?
Where does tolerance meet judgement?
When does innocence meet violence?
When do the sinful become righteous?
Why do we dismiss what others find precious?
Why are destroying our only environment?
Humans are so full of contradictions...
LeV3e Feb 2018
Rest your convictions on
The foundation of knowledge
Lest one day it will dawn,
Your beliefs sunk into sandpits
LeV3e Mar 2017
Work

Work

And whatever you do...
Don't even THINK about it
LeV3e Aug 2016
Feel like I'm back to square one
Having a hard time with the lesson
Wrapped up in on myself like
Leaves lick the wind like
Trees ring within, despite
Drought, despite rain
It's like nothing ever really changes
Yet, things will never be the same....
LeV3e May 2018
A dense fog blurs a purple sun
Dialated pupils spinning
A web of color touched my tongue
Emitting sparks of savory
Saliva spilling over lips
Sealed secrets in the darkened depths
Trenches sailed over by ghostships
Haunting memories of the past
Chained up in synchronicity
Keys fitting like serotonin
Released the Titans from dreaming
Freed then to seek retribution.

LeV3e Aug 2016
I want to write you something.
It's a feeling unlike anything
Elsewhere, that I've been looking.
Inspiration strikes me, only
Once I'm filled with longing to
Douse myself under your beautiful
Aura of rainbows cascading from
Your Crown, radiating from your brow
Your hips whisper while they sway around,
My desires are kept locked away
And yet, your lips hold the key.
Next time you see me,
Kiss my mouth like you mean it;
Free us both from loves chains.
LeV3e Nov 2016
I look inside and it is empty
Void of even atmosphere
A book written on black pages
No hope of escaping despair.
Infinite space, nothing really matters
Adam cast out into darkness
A blink of experience shatters
Death is the only constant.
Entropy devours my very soul
Physical bodies dividing us all
Universal laws fill the bowl
Until you see the water fall
Until you witness an atom bomb...
LeV3e Jul 2016
Will she ever understand?
The way that I feel remains unchanged, despite the years.
Despite the tears you've never been there to see.
Despite the fears in me that it wasn't meant to be.
Will she ever understand?
I've wanted nothing more than to kiss your lips again.
Again, to be by your side, to see your lovely face.
Again, to hold you tight, to feel a lovers embrace.
Will she ever understand?
I've always been willing to lay it all down for her.
Willing to go the distance to be worthy of your hand.
Willing to be there the instance your call demands.
Will she never understand?
That I still love her...
LeV3e Mar 2017
You do me one, I'll do you worse
Not even Christ could lift the curse
Living lucifer might burn your church
You crucified your ****** birth
LeV3e Jul 2016
I'm ******* hurting
The pains here to stay
Only momentary lapses
In between memories.

So I set **** blazing
Smoke myself into a haze
Swallow brews 'till I'm dazed
I know my days are numbered.

Feeling crazed and starved of affection, as of late.
Seeking desperately for connection, my soul mate.
Trying my hardest ever, hoping, to cheat fate.
Yet, doubt looms in vacant spaces, and I always take the bait...
LeV3e Nov 2016
You tie my gut in knots
Never expected this in my plot
Twisting my lochs with
Nervous fingers locking
Hands with you is magickal.

You tie my mind in knots
Its like a roller coaster lost
In space the comet's frost
Ignites a shower of colors
Cascading across your eyes...

You tie my heart in knots
I pray it doesn't clot my
Thoughts about our
Dreams about our
Kids about our
Means of getting by...
And I love having this in common with you.
Ego
LeV3e Sep 2018
Ego
I wish I could write about everything beautiful and all of the people who I love while sounding genuine and compassionate.

I wish we could talk about all the strife in the world, to bring evil doers to Justice, while helping those lost find their way home.

I wish I could voice all these feelings I have about the problems we face and the destruction we leave in our wake for the sake of progress.

I wish people could put their pride aside and see how God is all the same regardless of how you pronounce the Divine name.

But what's the point in shouting into this vacuume, a chamber we created that echos opinions despite any facts so we can continue stroking our fat ******* egos.
LeV3e May 2018
What is it that separates you from me?
A short distance between
The atoms that build our bodies?
Or is it a mentality, made up by
Different struggles we suffer while
People fight for every waking moment
Just to breathe...
Can anybody tell me the difference
Between "knowing better" and
Hypocrisy?
Does anyone really know who
Scribbled on the stone tablets
Deciphering the code that some
"Other being" told us was ethical?
Where did Enoch really go?
When he opened the gates to heaven,
And spoke to Gabriel about Thee?
Was it he who read the book of
Life, and came to understand
Only to leave the world
By God's demand?
Will I ever be more than this
Ant receiving signals by antennas
Sending advertisements telling me
What to buy next so I can be like
All the rest who are happy while
Society straps me in a straight jacket
Driving me mad with stress and
Ceaseless demands...
Maybe making more money will
At least buy me some ******* time
To relax.
LeV3e Aug 2018
You ******* started it.
I told you once to stop and
You refused to quit.
I drew a line in the sand
You stepped up to the plate
I took a homerun swing when
You reached out and grabbed me
I hope you ******* regret it
You got what you deserved and
I will not feel sorry for it
LeV3e Oct 2017
Eyes cast open
Water pours down
New life chosen
Blood stains her gown

Dreams fall to earth
Heaven's so distant
Sweat beaded birth
Salt soaked infant

Man born in sin
Knowledge proves useful
Reborn again
Trees so fruitful

Shadows crawl near
Quivering spines
Flames burning fear
Stars in the night

Moons watch us dance
Show me your face
Take off the mask, and
Feel my embrace
LeV3e Jan 2018
I want to touch the
Everlasting
Escape the clock and
Monotony

Searching for more than
Eternity
Light burns my eyes when
I go looking

Blinded by our ends
Inevitability
Making ends meet in
Synchronicity

Is consciousness really
Immortality?
Or is death's essence
Our destiny?
LeV3e Sep 2016
How would you write about
Feeling exhausted
When it seems more appropriate
To not be writing at all?
LeV3e Sep 2020
I'm afraid
Of
Eyes
Seeing me for
Who I truly am
That "they" might
Hate me
Because
I'm different.

I'm afraid
Of
Ears
That "they" might
Hear what I have to say
But
No one will want to
Listen

I'm afraid of
Hands
That "they" might
Make a fist or
Worst
Point a finger at me and
Single me
Out

I'm afraid
Of
You
The public is
Dangerous and
THEY have no time
To care about
My opinion
Only
"Theirs"
LeV3e Oct 2016
Something important happens to you everyday, but you can't see it.
You're blind; enshrouded.
Nothing is perfect, but you surround yourself with failures intentionally.
LeV3e Mar 2017
Do you believe in
Synchronicity?
Like the time you
Doubted in your mind
The existence of such
Frivolous things, but
The moment you stopped
To look at the clock,
God spoke to you
LeV3e Sep 2016
Idolizing drugs as if it's what sustains you
While I'm worshipping love contained in a statue.
I painted your face upon the cracked stone,
Hoping your grace could make me whole,
Again, my goddess crumbles at my feet.
Stolen from me by the shadows deceit.
Hollow was the ground upon which we built,
Our home was a grave held up by rotting stilts,
Twas only a matter of time before collapse,
Foretold by the stars, prophecies own map...
Still, I fought for you, to rip off the mask
Your grasp on my heart faltered,
We weren't meant to last.
To let you go, meant to shatter like glass
So here I am, scattered shards, lost in the sand.
The pieces cut my hands, I don't remember who I am.
Blood smears the reflections. I don't understand,
The message was clear before fears lead you astray
Now Death has come, a headstone is all that remains.
LeV3e Feb 2023
I've been pacing from room to room

Waiting for the world to stimulate

Something other than haunting gloom

Scroll unrolling a new series of emotions

Trends are mountaintops so better follow

The path is winding and this high peaked

Enjoy the view of this digital landscape

As the rest of the world crumbles at your

Feet
While we are more connected than ever in history, we've never been more divided. Strung along by hits of dopamine that keep us addicted to our screens, but who could blame us when the view out the window is so depressing.
LeV3e Jul 2016
Girls just wanna have fun,
And I'm always down for a good time.
Play and laughter under the sun,
Yet, Innocence gets tangled in loves twine.
So I look for a way, but learn,
Feelings can fool an infatuated mind.
Can emotions ever be controlled?
Or am I doomed to leave my heart on the line?
LeV3e May 2018
I've been getting too busy
Structuring words and doubts
Still counting my money while
Relationships burn out
Like cherries that flicker
Away with the wind and
I'm still not convinced
That this death is the end, but
I'm scared of the clock, look
Checking accounts on lock, been
Spending time on the lot, been
Pushing the good paper,
Hoping my flow doesn't rot
Like this body I'm caged in
Then you're gone like a thot that
You thought you could use when
Your bloods running hot and
Steam floats from the faucet
Wash your hands of the particles
But soaps a slippery ***** when
You forget where you came from.
LeV3e Nov 2016
To truly separate church and state would equate to demolishing the state and instead choosing to cooperate through the common understanding of equality, responsibility, and freedom.

For as long as there is a Priest you are not equal.

For as long as there is a God you are not responsible.

And for as long as there is a State you are not free.
LeV3e May 2017
Spinning down the road, black asphalt
Bubbling in the sun, black tar
Filling up my lungs, North Star
Shining in the night, black sky
Telling of the void, make right
What you know is wrong, no fright
Demons come and go, clean strike
Severs to the bone, white knight
Standing next to God... But not quite though,

Working on and on, clocks ticking
Money on the run, paper burning
Time for me to go, no stopping
Grind my life with stone, mind sharpening
Ill take what's mine when owed.

Sleep when I am old, still counting
The years fly by in droves, doves flocking
Can't keep the dust or gold, worth nothing
Nor blood nor flesh nor bone...
But the spirit keeps walking...
On and on and on and on and on....
