Ego Death & Dragon Dreams
WARM WINTER Dec 2016
Teo - Enlightened Now

Sometimes i'm like a dragon flying high.
But even i, one who is appointed in the sky cannot tell you without a doubt that i know where the truth lies.
I am simply just a victim of my own imagination
but maybe i will be true this time.

Deep insight
into the abyss of self.
My enlightment has lost its light
The darkest bright has overcome
but  i see what i am now.
i see why they say ignorance is bliss now.

I am a place of light and darkness
a wondering vessel wandering throughout the night.
Torn between the pang of evil, ignorance and the bliss of knowing that which is good and true.
How dare i dare to dream !
how dare i dare to dream when my woe can outdo my wisdom.

The fire of five suns often rises from within...
What if fire and brimstone was just a whim
would it still be enough to win ?
would it still be enough to quench thy sin ?

The wrath of a thousand men has fallen upon this den
Their rage has become my energy
My Anger, my angst and my anguish is just fire for my breath.
If it is to be, belligerence will bring my death.
But if it is a fight i must fight it must be for the light
is darkness not full of vainity ?
I must die to self.

The battle of self
a battle of mind and matter.
My subconscious is my friend
but my subconscious is my enemy.
If within me is a universe, i am a place of light and darkness.
How dare i dare to dream when i am but light and darkness.
I have felt the darkness death has brought upon my head
My woe has outdone my wisdom !
i must die to self
over and over again.


Time has washed me onto distant shores.
In the distance passed lies my past.
in present time i stand aghast in the sight of what i once was.
there was no self to be found
only mere imaginations.

who am i now ?
who will i be tomorrow ?
Where am i now ?
where will i be tomorrow ?
drenched in doubt
from the weight of it all i become no longer sure of self.
there was no self to be found
only mere imaginations.
yet still here i am swimming on through the skies.
oh how my imagination has fooled me.





In sober sight
i see clearly now.
Like stars the folly of my imagination falls before my eyes
My glory descends into dust
oh how quickly a lust for life can fall from grace and wonder.
oh how quickly what one adores can become just a thought.
Oh how words can lose their wisdom
does truth not always remain the same?
with eyes aghast i question the heavens
why the whim ?
truly because of sin?
Who am i now ?
how much more must i endure ?
Truth is found, yet truth is lost
the quest simply continues
to wander
to be
what does it mean to be who you are ?

Quite clearly,
My heart is not what it used to be.
why the whim ?
My desire has drifted...
but somehow the cold has kept me warm.
Somehow the hand of the divine has reached me in the depths of my darkness and handed me a speck of light,
enough to to see my way out of the void and back into interstellar flight.

Along this path i see,
i see clearly now !
but my dream seems to be different from what i wanted it to be.
Devastation has dimmed my delusion but robbed me of my fantasy.
what are the elements now ?
but it feels good to be free from it all
to see through that which is empty yet fills the heart with pride.
if everyday my ego flies
everyday my dream continues
but i  am no longer blinded by the bright blackness.

The night of day is still dark but my skies are clearer now.
I do not see my destiny
but i see the light.
Focus
Focus on the Light.

Riddle - Let Go

In what is said to be the happiest place in the world they lie down in death today, with a not so gay pride.

But where is the spirit of truth in the mist of all the gun smoke?
is it just playing dead ?

As hellish madness unravels in a world of uncertainty,
the lost ones sleep in their death beds.

But the ones that lived sing pray and shout to God,

but love is their god...

And the ones that live *sin
g shout and shoot,
for their gods live on.




Just as everybody can be your friend,
everybody can be your enemy.
what if those who are your friends are also your enemies?

Pray to your god,

But if God is love is he bound by it ?
and if God can hate is he defined by it ?

as if to be riddled with bullet holes,
what if mind games are the quickest ways to lose your life...
what will it take for you to find the 'safe house?'

If death comes for us all
is it better to die in a love-delusion,
or a god-delusion ?

and if love is love is love is love.
what is Love ?

And if Love wins,
what is Love if love is love,

To be Ali is to be a lion of God,

a fighter for peace,

a lover of love,

and a vanguard of truth.

To fight the fight of life as if for your life is...

So for the sake of truth,

love,

Tokimonsta - Little Pleasures ♫

The waves are as turbulent as can be
But I'm still sailing.
My sky cries with thunderous roar amidst the wailing waters...

...but I'm still sailing...

Battleships galore,
my blood is on the floor.

but the Lord is my witness.
My troubles are my fitness,
for I am conditioned for greatness.


...fluctuating...
forever fluctuating,
how can I be made for such seas?

Such quests weaken the body but it's truth that strengthens the soul!..

surely it is true that this pang is painful for the sake of some sad sacred purpose.

...but...

Where is my truth ?
where is the truth?
Why is there even such confusion ?

should truth not be universal?
if not is it not just perception?

how unjust !

Are we losing our truth?
Are we losing the truth?
Has our perception become deception ?
To know,
lose your mind watching the inception

see what a wonderous con it is.


Just like you i also doubt...
like the lotus lost in a sun yet looking for the Son.
like Ali looking for his lion.
like Buddha looking for his beach
yet lost in a rain looking for his tears...

suddenly,

...an Ocean...

Set your sail for a heavenly shore,
surely you trust journey??

For Heavens sake,
trust your journey I urge,
It will all make sense in the end if you lie with the kiss of truth.


Through the motions sickness,
In hope for brighter days beneath the rain.

we've all been dealt pain,
but no matter how unfair take what you're handed and let *love
forever be your mantra.

I'm in the honest hour,
and Melancholy moons seem to be setting in once again,
but still i'm hoping that I will one day see the Son from through the rain.


"
Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him"

GENTLE TYGA
WARM WINTER Aug 2015
I may be gentle but i'm still a Tiger.
I may be a Tiger but i'm still no predator.
I see sheep but they are just lost to me,
I only intend to help them get home.
But sheep with egos....
how does one remain calm around such tender arrogance ?
i may be gentle but i'm still a tiger.

Tigering around all I see are egos at war, its really an quite an interesting bore.
But could it be my own is also up in arms? and will it be the death of me if i fail to **** it first ?

I am a Tiger but i do not walk the eastern way,
not the way they do anyway.
what is Faith when Faith is free?
to me,
Faith is free when free from religion.

Though there is, there should be no compulsion in religion.
after all,
does Love not liberate ?
does Love not live and let live?

Even Jesus rebuked the religious,
but yet we do not see Him.
If I am to walk I am to walk the way He talked
and if I am to talk I am to talk the way He walked
with light,
with love,
and with compassion.
But if I am to be lost in such endless endeavor,
i am to be lost but in the right direction.

Troubles and triumphs await me but Jah will be waiting there.
Got to keep on walkin on the road to Zion land.
Got to keep it burning,
on the road to Zion land.

But alas... i am but a dreamer amidst bliss dreams,
beckoned by a subtle sleep while awaited by forgetfulness....
the only dream that remembers me.

Sensei, why is it that we forget ?

"ij-jima!"

"ij-jima!"

'But even in forgetfulness can bliss be found'

Thank you God, always. Because even tyga's tend to forget.

'Dad'
WARM WINTER Jul 2015
We may be related,
but unfortunately we do not relate.
it's as if such distance is beyond any love of my capacity.
so I simply set my sails to sea,
just to see what I can see,
exponentially drifting,
away from you and yours.

My soul equates to gold tenfold so I have no intention of being your trophy child,
that would simply be an insult to my worth.
So goodbye to cries for validation, only fools weep for pride.

No disrespect but no dream of mine is worth the sacrifice for pride.
Such an earthly thing that thing they call pride,
i want no part in it,
i am the lion that has left.

But you insist my dreams are killing me,
'This world is not ideal for passion you often say'
so you play the way of the dream killer,
shooting at each prospect i hope to someday grasp.

'No parent is perfect!' 'no parent is perfect!'
'It comes from fear!''it comes from fear!'

as each thought you spew spears from ear to ear.

But little do you know for I am not easily broken.
Wordplay is kungfu so I am Bruce Lee in combat.
Combating every word you say with Godly peace and eloquence.

'pride can be foolish, I don't need anyone to be proud of me'

With love,
the one who leaps with faith from cloud to cloud.

"Love is just so nonexistent in my existence
So that’s why I was so persistent in that first quick instant that we laid eyes.
If young love for them is 16 then we must be infants, but this is so intense.
But I’m an eyewitness at love at first sight but this is just different than anything I’ve been in because it feels infinite"

WARM WINTER Jun 2015
Your heart was an empty space once,
and now that its cluttered you still yearn for things.
It's because you're far too naive, insecure and stubbornly egotistical  to release,
so instead you lease your love to the most lustful of things hoping they make you feel loved.

MELANCHOLY MAY
WARM WINTER May 2015
I'm lost again.
Followed by that ghoul they call the soul,
I'm haunted by its dreams and nightmares,
and daunted by its solemn silence.
where is my reliance ?,
soon dawns the time for giving up the ghost.

Oh the evergoing cognitive dissonance of wanting to die but also wanting to live out your dreams.
if only this heaven they speak of was within walking distance,
i'm dying to go for a day or two.

Ahh la vie, ahh la vie,
why do you do this to me ?
i wanted to be free not lost in thee.
C'est la vie,
c'est la vie is all i say to me.

Oh sweet poetry syndrome,
such sweet sickness that you are,
but such weak dreamer tendencies these are.

Forever fluctuating, forever fluctuating...

in time i realize that there is no end to this abysmal void, so if i continue i will only continue into a
deep
dark
hollow
nothing.
and that's exactly what i fear the most,
nothing.

LIKE THE HUMBLE FARMER
WARM WINTER May 2015
I am earth
But i am galaxy.

I am the star walking through the night with a fire flaming fervent.
Humble servant,
i see why you talk less now, there is more to see that way.
Humble servant.
I'm tired of seeking worldly validation,
it is only by the earth and the elements that i am to live by.

Humble servant,
what is this warm sleet that seeps from my core ?
could it be that Divine substance they call poetry?,
if so how is it so fulfilling yet it leaves me yearning for more?
how is it intangible but yet i feel it with every fiber of my being?

if i am to harness it's elegant power,
will i be overwhelmed into broken poetry pieces?

Oh the irony of being placed in a reality to dream..
be patient my dream, be patient,
even in death you do not die.

SHADOWS
WARM WINTER May 2015
I am not of darkness, but i'm in the dark.
If I am not lost, I am slowly losing it.

As the Babylonians babel on, i wander on,
lost while wondering when the future shall fall.

Shalom, shalom,
and into the night of day we go.
each with flame that flutters and fluctuates amidst the noise of reality,
certain to ignite a side to the worlds duality.

there is a lost freedom in this land,
and if we are but angels
we are but angels at war with God with gods.
and if we are but gods
we are as foolish as they come.

is this darkness on the dawn?
shadow in the night,

find the light

find the light

find the light.

Even I whose soul is as the night can love its loving bright.

WARM WINTER Apr 2015
I'm drifting like a cloud, I'm flowing like water
But I'm afraid to remain on the above the surface.
why linger like a lost leaf when such marvelous insights lie beneath.
Why skim the froth but not drink the alchemy, are you truly drunk on vanity ?.

Sanity, sanity,
I am not broken without you.
Insanity, insanity,
I am not deluded with you.

I only believe because frankly this world is not enough for me, and I only aim to be better in-tune with the infinite because my soul yearns for what it cannot yet reach & what this world has to teach.
afterall wernt we wonderfully created to simply wonder?

TOO AFRAID TO FALL
WARM WINTER Mar 2015
uhoh,
we're falling.

i'm afraid i cannot allow myself to continue to fall with you.
And though it hurt me to say this,
look not at me as i cling to this jagged broken end.

I understand you will continue to fall into some other aspect without me but because of me,  for that i am truly sorry.

I would say no hard feelings, but there's no such thing in love.
But i pray your fall is softer than mine would have been.

And I would say don't take it to heart,
but yours may just break due to decent.
If so,
i'm sorry.
But if you land on your feet, please walk as if you never knew me.

'PLEASE SET ME AT EASE'
WARM WINTER Mar 2015
Assail me oh death, I fear not your ****** blade.
**** me softly oh death,
but make it fast
for I cannot bear to fully feel the past without internal flame.

sharpen up your aim and set me at ease
because I envy but the breeze.
not ever does it linger in the qualms of yesterday,
it only knows of now as it drifts towards tomorrow.


tell me why should I remain ?
If I call upon his Name will I suddenly inflame?,
I think not...

for I am as cold as the wife of Lot,with only salt tears to my name as I Look back at what I've lost.

'have faith'
they say as I attempt vigorous revival on the very belief that gave me life.

what is life without light ?,
because I have been snuffed of mine and might, so I have not strength nor will to love...
Goodbye my love, all is lost for me.

MORE LONE THAN LONELY
WARM WINTER Feb 2015
These are the waves that come at me
so silently but ferociously.
Rendered riding on the dark of day
from left to right i sway.
Within the night with winter chills but it's the warmest i've ever been.

Riding on the dark of day,
from right to wrong  i sway.

These are the waves that entice my eyes,
and by them i get lost,
just to find out what i'm truly made of.

I'm miles away but closer than you think.
And though i whisper from afar i intend to sink into your psyche.

My God, my god

is it odd that i question but of the fool, yet not knowing who it is that he is or when his time shall fall.

or is it i that has lost both his eyes ?

if so,

My God, my god,
show yourself to me, before my soul becomes idle.

MR.SADFLUTE
WARM WINTER Jan 2015
i'm lone for now
but i will get lonely someday,
in some way.

Some say ignorance is bliss, but ain't nothin bliss about not knowing what to say.
During the day i wander far away, sometimes i stay, and sometimes i stay lost.
But i wouldn't say i'm completely sad, just deeply saddened at times. But sorrow has melody i tend to say, so i often sink in solitude, with quiet flute-sound as companion.

We can be lost in so many different aspects ya know.
In prospects that keep us hopeful when we rise and fall.
But thats not always a bad thing, though we do tend to lie in lies that feel all so true,
hence why we seek truth, but get lost anyway, and love to love and be loved, yet we won't forget lust in anyway.
But theres only one type of lost that is beyond all mortal cost, yet its debt has long been paid by that One we tend to cross.

I've been told "where the mind goes the man follows"

so as i go on my gentle way, there's just one thing left to say,
keep calm, watch the storm go by
wave goodbye, wave hello,
let things go,
because it's the simpler-subtler things that sing with utter adore

That cracking sound i hear,
it must be the the sound of my heart breaking
but how is it my heart is not aching ?

Could it be the art of breaking hearts is but a numb affair ?
To be fair, i do not know, and though i am fairly unaware
i am sure some may truly beg to differ,
And to that i say to each their own

To each their own
To each their own

atleast now i have something to call my own.

WARM WINTER Jun 2014
To the Father of my fathers father.

 Oh Father of my father,
I have wandered far too far, further into a blight.
Amid the night,
amidst the mist of the midnight-lantern,
I roam,
like a phantom.

     Oh Father of my fathers fathers, darkness has dawned on me.
     In a world where desire victimizes us all, my lust for love has left me
     lost in a lie with a life that questions the true essence of time.

     Oh Father !
     at what cost do my sins separate from solitude ?
 
  I ask not of your affection, I just simply wish to inform that i shall no longer continue my endeavors.
for i am preyed like pirates lost at sea, longing for a lostful gain...
to and fro and back again, to the track where black is but night and day,
Yet the sun has kept its wholesome shine, but still the sons have lost their way.
No wonder some of them lose their eyes, yet questioning but the tide.
Pirates, I pity you.

Goodbye, goodbye all of the noise.

i shall simply drift towards the mist till i meet an end to the earth,
and fall to my destined doom.

it was all a lie.
