With this thing called Poetry
Comes a great responsibility

I can't just selfishly go directly to sleep
With words locked in my head to keep

I would rather extend my reach
To someone that is truly in need
And feel and believe with each
And every word my finger's bleed

That whomever graces them with their eyes
Shall be filled with elation when they realize

That each word is like a different person's hand
Just like a microscopic cosmic tiny grain of sand

And the universe just like us humans on earth
Is a perfect curse right from it's beautiful birth

Blessed with life to lose and that need to share
Then you have to choose, live the truth or dare
Chase your wildest dreams, or scary nightmare
Or find someone who seems as though they care

Just accept right now as you read, that we all are alone
And that nothing will matter to you when it's all done
We all yearn for answers amongst the great unknown
Until we learn that we're actually all just perfectly one
Are we just products of an extravagant and elaborate cosmic soup
Or living breathing proof that even God sometimes has to ****?

What do you think?

If we should happen to part, the eternal sun would cease to shine
The sound of a ripping heart, leaving me deaf, dumb and blind

The Heartache came so fast, yet is here to stay for many moons
Friends tell you it won't last, yet so many tear fueled monsoons
Dried eye stains from the past, memories windswept over dunes
Ashes in a wasteland so vast, recycled with relationship typhoons

Let and set yourself free
Do all that you can do
No reason to ever worry
You"ll always be with you

Please Leave your pride at the door
Where we"ll go
you won't be needing that anymore
Goodbye ego..
Stripped naked and bare to the core
Pretend to know
Prognosticate from human folklore
So high and low
Never meant to know what's in store
Life"s ebb and flow

Awaken from your sleep
Dust the tools off the shelf
So many promises to keep
How nice to meet yourself
We all are under the influence.... But which ones are winning?

Inspiration is defined as an official arousal of your mind
So if I could please have your attention...
And a brief escape or brain suspension...
Let's vacation, temporarily set free from your daily grind

I have written
So that you can read
Many times bitten
My hands still feed

So consider this your official invitation to escape the sheople herd
After my mind has melted away and my heart has been bled dry
I'll still be a perfect scapegoat of salvation with every written word
Haunting the world until it's demise with god's ever watchful eye
I'm here for you

You will not be fully complete, until your finish your task
So accept your inevitable defeat, with no questions to ask
Don't try fate's hand and cheat, or try to hide behind a mask
And receive thy promised treat, in all the glory one can bask

Follow in line and blend in just like a sheep
Robotic creatures of habit
Find some nice shade under a tree and sleep
Lazy features of the rabbit

Hedonistic Pleasure slaves, so addicted to that extraordinary feeling
Chasing immaculate waves, and the earth's almighty natural healing
The need to purchase everything that one possibly craves
Running time into the ground right up to our very graves

Nothing will stop them as they use everything they can muster
Blinded by the diamond's perfectly glorious omnipotent shine
Left with nowhere to turn once the new toy's lost all it's luster
Reminded of your wasteful ways, now's time to seek the divine

If only you had saved some money and perhaps bought a clue
Everything you really needed was always right in front of you
But here I'll offer it free of charge, just like an ordained preacher
A licensed life student at large, today I've chose to be the teacher

So question everything and anyone at every cost and measure
Don't waste time chasing your tail and each and every treasure
It's not about the temporary pose for a picture or what's on the surface
It's about what nobody truly knows, the will to live and learn purpose
I'd like to solve the puzzle ?

So cast your words out amongst the great cosmic sea
Amidst the Blue Marble's Aliens and fateful life tree
Optimistic Electrons etched in diamonds eternally
Free for judgment, from among our Earth  Fraternity

So when I finish this sentence with saying, "you complete me"
I"m mean, it kills me to see, you, and well, me, but really we
Should, we, grab some ice cream sometime, she says discreetly
To the Ice Cream man named Victor go the spoils, questionably?

So may I just say, that... to YOU it may concern
It really is what it isn't, and I do mind if I don't
From every situation is another chance to learn
So if you don't mind if you do, I still never won't

So please proceed to buy a test for pregnancy of thee mind
I've placed thoughts inside, but I can't be sure they're mine

Collected fragments of molecules crashing and sputtering about
An idea has now been planted, Let's just pray there is no drought
If you're not comfortable with reading this I recommend you take a read after pill, email me if so...I have a red one, a blue one and then like, a sort of teal ish-looking turquoise one, honestly I'd probably take that one....

Temptation blinds us as our bodies dance so perfectly rhythmic
Cohesively combined and intertwined in and act so divine until
The sensation reminds us that our powers together are cataclysmic
The way you're designed must be make believe, intelligence's will

Searching for words to procure for your essence would be absurd
Even my futile attempts here and now will somehow be obscured
So let this be a warning to me to enjoy the journey and all endured
From her spell I can never be cured, and rest is never again assured

So may our ghosts elope and dance with the fateful wind
Because I never, ever want this majestic perfection to end
For anyone, to give to someone who isn't just everyone
