early dawn writing
peace by the fire, thoughts free, one
Canadian ace
winding approach, dodging limbs
nervously descends, eyes wide

The truth is, you learn a little more about yourself every-time someone says goodbye.

You see me
yet you don't see my brain.

My brain functions at a different
level it's wired like a backwards
motherboard, I started life
in silence and frustration
slowly growing into a hurricane
of communication.

Speech is lacking in my brain
but still I learned how to speak
through my ability to write poetry
and understanding languages
you probably can't speak.

My eagerness helps me to develop
and grow.

Routine and schedule is my
favorite thing to do, it feels good
to stick to a straight line.

Noises and lights hurt my eyes
body and mind, causing painful irritation to grow and
poke my mind.

I've had to grow up inside this
painful design, it's been hard
and deep gloomy and
sometimes fleek.

I find my autism stylish
and unique, it's full of awesome designs but also darkness
that seems never ending.

Like everything else I have
bad and good times too.

I might think like a cat
but I am still human by design.

This is autism and me
my backwards life.

I have high functioning autism. Poetry helps me to communicate and taught me how to express myself so you can understand my situation. Technology has made my life easier. Without the internet I wouldn't be able to share with you, also I wouldn't have gotten where I am today. I also suffer from a rare movement disorder and I was able to get a brain surgery called Deep Brain Stimulator that helps me to be able to move. The internet made it possible for me to find the doctor and specialists who helped me. I am very grateful.
distance between our graves
spacious and airy—
leave our kids to sing
“vivere volumus permanere”
This is the best I could do w Latin I tried my best to translate it but I’m not the best with Latin so it’s a very confusing mix of google translate and my infintinitly small knowledge of a very dead language (btw the title is the translation)
A confident smile rests upon your lips,
A surge of  light radiates from your eyes;  
Like a happy child, your heart jumps and skips --
Wild expectancy is hard to disguise!  

Somewhere from the darkest depths of your soul  
Come the sweetest notes of a singing bird;
Woe and despair have relinquished control --
Within your tortured heart new hope has stirred

Has the voice of hope not deceived before,
Whispering such sweet lies into your ears?
And that cloak of joy,  flung upon the floor
To absorb the streaming flow of your tears?

Is the purpose of my tale clear to you?
(I'm not sure how some minds will perceive it);
When hope delivers its deceitful cue,  
Think twice whether you'll take it or leave it

THE EGO,
it rears its head
gliding to disturb the quiet.
It dances in brain
to feed desire to judge.
It whispers with chatter
to distract
from living in heart.

EGO... down boy I say,
as I try to tame it
before it tames me.
CAN'T SLEEP TONIGHT SO HERE I AM

And I, shall take
the life force energy
streaming within...
that fantastic vibration that anoints
as child of The Divine...
to mold it as if clay
with events
that lead to a full life.

I shall dip self inside love
and paint a life with dancing brush.
With footsteps that hold mystery and awe.

I shall live
inside the grip of heart
and ride like stallion
in many an voyage in the miracle of life.

The gift given when we visit human form.
Inspired by Mack. A grand scribe.
