Withering in the Sun
KR Sep 2019
Everyone is not meant for Greatness
Why can we not simply live?
Is life not to be enjoyed?
The simple things get overlooked
A simple happiness gets shunned
Why do we have to push?
Push
We push our lives away from comfort
We push our loved ones away in a quest for one moment of light
We compare and contrast our lives
When did we stop being people?
People with sparks behind our eyes
People with a heart in full bloom
People where we all live in the sun of the day instead under the covers of night
We are no longer drops of sunshine, honeypies, and daisies.
We are zombies, vampires, and wraiths.
Do not shun kindess
Offer a smile and look up at the bright new day
I sat down with a stranger and offered conversation. He accepted but looked at me like I was crazy. I just like friendship and hospitality. What is wrong with that?

You flew away before I was ready
My heart misses the flutter of your wings
My ears your sweet harmonies
Your memories are drowned in purple
I was your sunshine and now you are mine
Our beats syncopated
        I’ll meet your eyes in a different time

Nunca lo olvides.
KR Nov 2019
Luz es mi vida
Mi amor
The stars weep in comparison to your soul
Every memory is a bible and your mind the dictionary by which they are written
Patience is the virtue of your love
Unwavering courage in the sunflower bloom
Para Siempre

Smile, You're on Camera
KR Sep 2019
I contradict the universe
I live in an upside down
Surrounded by the fog of a hot breath
Black is the day when it rains on the mountain
The Fog lifts and death lies on my back
lonesome and rightside
Are you happy now?

We
KR Aug 2019
We
The light comes in with early morning dew
They wake to a dim world
A world tormented by ****** and chaos
Yet they still get up everyday
Everyone else does
We have no other choice
The spiral seems to never end as we detest and crumble
We are against ourselves
Nature has begun to rebel
We have stayed too long
We have been too far
We have broken the rules not made by us
But by something bigger than we could ever be
And it is angry

We are the cause of destruction
We have disrupted the natural order of things
We were never meant to become this
But even as we change and grow exponentially
We fail to look back at our shortcomings
In this we repeat our mistakes again and again

We used to have gods to talk to
But we have killed them all in exchange for the quick and easy
We left this hole
Now instead of biodiversity in every sense of the word
We have chains
Chain restaurants
Chain stores
Chain crops
Chain religion
Chain mindset
We have readily accepted being shackled into an unforgiving world
We have blinded ourselves with screens because its easier to see the truth from a lense that seperates emotion from meaning
But who am I to so judge
I myself accept these chains because it does make life easier
For now
Thats the catch
The for now

Soon enough what makes life easier will actually make life incredibly harder as nature changes in an order to **** us
When you only have 1 type of corn, what do you do when a disease kills it all
When you force antibiotics down your throat for every slight inconvince, what do you do when they stop working
Nature is evolving to **** us off
And our stupid decisions are paving the way
Money makes the world go round
And global warming makes it tilt off it’s axis

My Bed is Cold
KR Feb 2020
Yet I’m in it
My heart is full
Yet I’m empty
My mind is in motion
Yet I stand still
My body is strong
Yet I am weak
What fuels a raging fire?
What makes the sea calm?
Who aches for redemption?
Who is buried below the ashes?
Fall into the abyss and find nothing

I see you, do you hear me?
KR Sep 2019
I sit cattycornered from the nightmare
A bright light shifts into my eyes
A hope for others because a trick
I am blinded by my own misconceptions
A heart flutters to the sound of footsteps
A head hurts to the shatter of glass
I stand in the still of a night
A break for unrest
A run for the weary
I lay down on the bed of man
Search for the Sublime

"Home"
KR Apr 2020
I sit in my restless consciousness
The walls of my head hit with a Dempsey roll
What is sleep for the dead
The dead do not sleep
Cold Feet
The lonesomeness of a bed unfulfilled
You’ll never reach the end
Rats on a wheel towards nothing
Why?
Judge to be Judge
It’s a death sentence for the lot of yah
Yellow Moon
The warmth is fake but the light is real
A mirror for material truth
The end of a rainbow is the final resting place
KR Aug 2019
I dropped the ball so you could pick it up.
