Ignorance is ****
In the wind
However, it changes direction
Again, and again

A wish, a whirl
A kiss, on the pearl

Polished perfectly for years
To ***, distracting all fears
Like a drum rumbling from the Woulds
**** the If’s, ****, leave the Coulds

Luck like a Lady, and the maybe Shoulds
Spike dope a meanly cost of doing Goods
Do they though?

The dark blindfold of Lust Bleeds cold mistrust
What's foretold just misleads to finally not care
As the bold, plant the seeds, of how we will fare
As our perpetual bait breeds stereotypical fate

Question who you are before we wander too far
We'll journey in the car, just like fireflies in a jar
Adventure encroaches and ****** approaches
We shall come together like birds of a feather

Both just simple Products of blissful optimism
Until the date of that fateful fantastic Cataclism
We all stray until the day we are lost and pray
Faithful graceful servants of this tasteful earth
Nobody knows their trouble so keen
Drifton A Way Apr 2013
I pity you because you"ll never truly know the feelings you evoke
Searching for the perfect words and overcoming all my nerves
Finally mustered up the courage but to you I'm nothing but a joke
To you a few seconds worth of thought is all a man deserves

Invite me with your eyes until I finally make my move
Then you act surprised with your ego"s point to prove

Or else she's interested, engaged, polite, and very nice
But ladies please listen close to this next piece of advice

Instead of leading us all on and wasting both our valuable time
Would it be so hard to just say no, would that really be a crime

Tell me you have a boyfriend, I don't even care if its a lie
And give me credit for the courage that it even took to try

Take it as a complement and just for a second wear my shoes
All that we could be was dreamt and I woke up with the blues

You burned the blueprints, a beautiful skyscraper was to be built
I looked for clues and hints, now I pray you can deal with the guilt

I envy you, so lucky to be blessed with the ability to ignore
Sweep us under the filthy rug and strike us deep at our core
To be thrown into the junkyard that any man would abhor
You forgot we're also human beings, so I really must implore

Give us a fake number at least it will make us laugh
At least our glass will still be close to holding half

I understand your point of view, I know it must be hard
So many offers every day, always keeping up your guard
Deciding which ones to let in and which ones to discard
All while trying your best to not get emotionally scarred

But believe it or not we have feelings too and hope is like a drug
So stop our digging right away before we have our own grave dug

So I'll say a prayer for you if you truly lack the empathy to really care
Seconds of unnecessary negligence multiply into years of utter dispare
Quite an extensive list of backups just in case your heart begins to tear
The next life we'll all be roadrunners and you a coyote, karma's only fair

Effortless dust conspires with the ephemeral wind's devious desires
Lucid time transpires, while the illusion of life prevails then expires

When I need you, you're elusive, fleeting and distant
When I have you, you're abusive, cheating and resistant
When I leave you, you're reclusive, retreating, and nonexistent
When I bereave you, you're conclusive, defeating, and insistent

I rely on you to pass, mend and heal all my wounds, and cleanse the stain
I admire you in class, am reminded on full moons, and lose you in the rain

Blatant slaps in the face, blessed with you to waste, then we ask what you're worth
Silent gaps lost in space, stressed with a ******'s chaste, been by her side since birth
Eat the scraps fall from grace, obsessed with the taste, so many hungry facing dearth
Burned maps without a trace, pressed to make haste, as you tick down upon the earth
Drifton A Way Jun 2014
Your sad and weary caterpillar eyes
Finally helped me come to realize
Our future need to metamorphasize
No more crawling, lets be butterflies

But sometimes I'm as blind as a bat
And I can move as slow as a sloth
Lets order in, watch TV, and get fat
Blame the world and turn all goth
But instead lets try on another hat
Lets flap our dusty wings as a moth
You Coulda been a filthy street rat
Lucky to be cut from a different cloth

Yes you may live like a bird on a wire
You may be a rabbit blinded by desire
Chasing tail, just another skirt to squire
Learn to fly moth, headfirst to the fire

Or perhaps you"re an ostrich with it's birdbrain in the ground
Blissfully ignorant to see sights, smell, taste or hear a sound
Bringing up the rear, blindly spiraling yet you're nowhere bound
Stand up tall and breathe in life, and lets make it epicly profound
Why not?
Drifton A Way Nov 2012
Soul erosion grinds away until eventual implosion
Build corrosion today until the ultimate explosion
Throw your Precaution to the winds I can smell in the dusty air once again it's new familiar sins
What has been will be, so no need to listen to me
You're truly free,use it to create and then you'll see


Mosquitoe tears mashed together with my own blood's smears

My deepest fears gashed holes in my souls fragile human years

Another wave appears, crashed to the shore and time again interferes

The mind clears as trashed worries burn and ring upon deaf ears

So many spheres, lives flashed in a dream,  then it all disappears

What truly separates animals and humans apart?
We **** for food
We indulge in love
We act hanus and lewd
We argue, push, and shove

What truly makes us special, why are we so smart?
We still repeat mistakes
Chase money like our tails
We play with poisonous snakes
Just because it may help our sales

What truly separates the beating of the human heart?
We choose to hurt
We refuse to give
At night we lay inert
We didn't choose to live

One real difference I can see, we consciously create ART
Words procured in a particular fashion
Linking generations and cultures together
sparking empathy, and sincere compassion
Reminding us we're all birds of the same feather
Evolution Anyone?
Drifton A Way Jun 2018
This one is for you, I’ve missed you so
And now you too, can finally also know
What this feeling of existence actually means
To share all each other’s unique alien genes

For we are molecules warn for the wear
Just charged particles warmed into air
Just smashing atoms swarmed to a hive
Grasping tightly to the feeling we’re alive

But honestly, I truly meant it earlier when I said
I’m absolutely elated to be currently not dead
Because before this sentence was even read
These procured words shall haunt your head

Invade ancient ruins and say we were first
Rewrite history to make all others the worst
Explore until the day your ashes will disperse
A Wanderlustfilled Gypsy’s dream and curse

I thank you for becoming who you really are
And I thank you for reading all the way this far
Remember if you’re lonely, this very last line
For These fleeting moments, you were all mine
For all of that time I was yours and you were mine, no one else’s eyes except the divine -
Drifton A Way Mar 2014
I knew, that you, were different too, right from the very start
In awe, time stopped, my jaw dropped, as I gazed on live art
If you, were on the menu as a dish, I'd order you a la carte
So if I was granted one last wish, before we are forced to part...

It would be for one last kiss, just place your perfect lips upon mine
Our atoms simply cannot resist, as our bodies embrace and intertwine
For a moment, I know true bliss, as shivers race up and down my spine
I'm blessed to have you to miss, an angel's intervention from the divine

Under her glance, I don't even stand a chance
As I'm hypnotized by her Mesmer eyes
thoughts enhance as my mind begins to dance
And to no surprise, I am Tranquil-Eyezed
Drifton A Way Dec 2021
I’m finally back on track just like Jack Kerouac

The open road goes wherever the wind blows

And who knows, where each tributary flows

Its all turnkey, wake up to find another journey

Sleep when we’re deceased, too much to see

Keep your hair greased and always stay ready

A potential future memory with every moment

Thee sacred open road, my voluntary enrollment
Drifton A Way Dec 2017
Shall we constantly strive to be able to thrive?
Or just slap high five and be happy we’re alive

Walking down the road shivering in a sweater
Sleeping homeless man, life couldn’t be better

The fact is, there will always be more to do
How much difference can be made by you?

The answer is, an absolute **** ton and a half
Whether it be a penny, piece of food or a laugh

You can randomly smile at a stranger
and they’ll just think you’re deranged
You can try and be a game changer
Success necessitates being changed

You can cough in someone’s coffee
Maybe kick their dog while they’re down
Say you’re sorry for being so coughy
But your smile’s fake and you’re a clown

But you know things could always be worsed
See, how fast that guilt Statement disbursed
Feeling sorry for yourself, is like being cursed
So be ready to perform,none of us rehearsed
We’re talking about practice? Not a game, not.. a game?

Spellbinding alien eyes, so ******* hypnotic
Blood pressures will rise, heartbeats so chaotic
Blinding all of the guys, making them psychotic
Reminding their lies, why the truth is so exotic

Never a question, no arguments, nor a debate
She is the lesson,deep sentiments,lead to fate

One gaze, leaves a daze, an inescapable maze
Tail chase,amazing race,until the fall from grace

Either drive keeps us alive, or the will to survive
But to yearn, rather than earn,causes heartburn

So now that you've heard the story foretold
Please beware if you make her acquaintance
That if you'd like to live long, and grow old
Her virtue leads to one of many MEntal patients
It's not up to us, sadly enough, but who would want to play if they knew they couldn't lose?
Drifton A Way Sep 2014
The fire burns within you
That need, one has to create
Excuse the improper venue
But the need is quite innate
Thoughts race from old to new
Reborn with ink,on paper's fate
Seeds were planted and grew
The Lock is broken, wide open gate

The time is now, make your move
Don't you dare ask why?
But rather, ask why not?

Someway, somehow you must prove
That you care enough to try
Maximize the time you got

Forgive,
But never forget
To live
But never regret
The past
Always think and learn
Act fast
So problems never return
Drifton A Way Apr 2016
Grasping ever so tightly they cling to what may be
Or rather may have been, after all that original sin
It still feels fresh, shiny, and new time and then again
The rose colored lasers have penetrated, so you see

Around and they go full spin again, smash, and collide
As his violet colored contacts glance on her perfect behind
A mask we must continue to live in the shadows and hide
No doubt this collision is one of no other impossible kind

The Universal laws have no choice in, that matter Will abide
Blindly searching for the answers that no one could ever find
Extraordinary journey nonetheless, one hellaciously fun ride
Sun colored glasses as time passes and everything will remind

Me
Of
You
And
All we
Do

And once the day comes where our I do's transform to what we did
And you have achieved chased, and conquered each and every goal
Remember this before your dose into dreams and close your last eyelid
I wish you peace, love, and clarity of your mind, body and eternal soul
I share with you not for hubris or ego compliments or motivation, I share with you as a vessel to and from experience to possibly influence the consumption of gumption and the delumptious taste of this drink called Life.
Drifton A Way Jan 2014
Don't try to move
Just Be still
You must prove
It"s your will

Just be,
Quietly
Silently
Chill

No technology
No phones
No emails
No fax

Mythology
Bones
Trails
Relax

Thoughts flow through my head
like streams upon the riverbed
Constantly haunting me
Is it a plague or am I free

Wondering what it is I truly do seek
On this Hedonistic journey for pleasure
Once I finally reach the highest peak
Will I even care if there isn't any treasure

And even if there was, how much is really ever enough?
No matter how much was there I would still feel rough
The journey is over, but at least you can buy more stuff
Many toys to play with but your hands are tightly cuffed

Look a brand new thing to crave
How much money did you save?
I"ll take that secret to my grave
As a true consumer ridden slave

Everyone wants what they just can't have
Eyeing your neighbor"s prize like a vulture
Euphemise it veal instead of saying calve
Euthanized a deal, our throw away culture

I want more more more, that's mine not yours
So blessed to have our choice of each amenity
We"ve bore ourselves into consumer ******
So stressed when all we should seek is serenity

I take Bibilical aqua aerobics down at the local YMCA, talk about two Ginas and one Richard hah! That'll *** up your mind... You're thankfully welcome... Wow, man ****, when is this after note going to end? Ohhh , I just realized that I said Wo-man ****, which is just a totally different connotation than man, ****, which just to be safe we can all agree moving forward that, that comma belongs between the man, and the ****, ohh ****, ****, ahh I can't believe I'm still reading this ****, what the ****, wait what was I going to do again? Now this ******* has me sidetracked with his slanted Jedi writing, I'm never reading any of his **** again,
Yeah well imagine what it's like to be the mind that writes this...???

Who are we really? I could tell you, ****... ****.

Me - 3 You- 0

Burned
What the **** could you possibly write here? - your friend...Mark.

Nobody quite cares how a stranger fairs
Empathy is rare amongst our polluted air
Yet we are all bare without ability to share
Truth or dare, asked through a burka stare

We build a bridge, then burn it down
Time to flee, they ransacked the town
Nonverbally we can all surely agree
Satanic sympathy cannot be heavenly

They say Each and Everyone has a unique story
And I'm blessed with big ole satellite dish ears
Plus Misses Lady Legacy loves her some glory
And the Hour is happy,so let's have some beers
Cheers

For me, these things don't seem to be matter of questionable choice
If you understand my face, then there's no need to hear my voice

Like a beautiful bird's everlasting melody it sings
Never wasted, for all the joy that it's song brings
Until the grim reaper's phone call eventually rings
And I make an obvious decision on boneless wings

Ride me like a horse, and return me to my stable
Use me then divorce, just like you're stealing cable
Oh no, I broke my leg, hole in my head like a bagel
Is it chicken or the egg, either way life is a fable
choices that we made, until we're no longer able
No brainers weighed, don't ask me booth or a table?

So don't come to me with questions wasting time
If the winds blowing might as well hang a chime
Karma will always cleanse even the perfect crime
Deserted island, poetically just reached my prime
So much to say, but just became a professional mime
Always had two nickels but really wanted a dime
Life's pointless questions, like should a poem rhyme?
To me if you don't, you"re a mexican beer, w/out a lime
Drifton A Way Apr 2015
Wake up and rejoice for the privilege, you once again are alive
Obsess over bringing joy and insight, in fact go ahead and strive
Relinquish all hatred in your heart and wipe your sleep-eye crust
Don't forget and let out a **** so you don't spontaneously combust
Savor every waking and walking minute before you join the dust

Offer something you really want to someone who's really in need
Find out how much we all are blinded daily by unnecessary greed

Advise a close friend with true altruism and listen attentively
Decide to truly help them instead of avoiding it ever so gently
Visualize who you truly want to be and accept it's possibility
Impose random belly laughter at each and every opportunity
Create change that at the least can induce an effortless smile
Embrace reality and your dreams, we're only here a little while
I'm sure you can find something in there worth a **** for yourself... but if not, go play with a puppy
Drifton A Way Oct 2012
Headless chickens running aimless toward the almighty dollar
Blindly staring at the knife"s stainless steel amidst all the squaller

My thirsty soul argues against my numb skull to hold a thorough audition
They lewdly feud about potential candidates accrued to search for recognition
They conclude on a suspicion they mutually feared as a result of blind ambition
Search preludes the admission, that I found my dream car with no keys for ignition

Don"t question authority especially when it's the majority
Everyone knows the world is flat and let's just leave it at that
I bought water from you now I have ice to sell
I have a great story but no one worthy to tell
Hindsight should really be at least twenty fifteen
Because to admit we just don"t know is too obscene?

Blissful ignorance"s repugnant scent wafting through the cave
Mindless sheople"s chainlinked brains all dancing at the rave
Fire flickering Shadow puppets tastefully riding the next wave
Puppeteer wizard behind the curtain telling them how to behave
Misaligned redcoated frontline soldiers falsely labeled as brave
Life"s ironic conundrum puzzle, choosing which children to save
Diseased cement steadily drying in a world ever ready to pave
Hungrier than I"ve ever been, yet sickly devoid of things to crave
Drifton A Way Dec 2020
To put a W in a Word that does not need or Want it seems Wrong
To trouble you, is absurd, but do pay heed to the lyrics of the song

Building blocks stack in your mind full of thoughts and out of sight
As broken clocks start to rewind to find a bridge in time to Just Write
Hickory flavored wood chips and barbecue basted Pig lips loosen the fishes hips that creep within the titanic's grips
Drifton A Way Jun 2022
An Inevitable Metamorphose sized type of night
Change- the Prognosis in forever’s constant sight
Undeniably we try as we may and go on to fight
But what’s the alternative? To turn out the light?

Tom Bodet once said he’d leave the light on
But I fret about the dark once Tom is gone
And I bet his eternal soul will rest on five stars
No more motel six lies and flies from the bars

An epiphany once whispered to me her last right
She said once she’s dead you’ll be all out of spite
Hyper aware I choose now to channel and write
Prove you care to the momental very last night

I Encapsulate all my closure and try to meditate
I cannot wait for composure in the face of fate
Empty plate, full of sorrow, but everybody’s ate
Procrastinate again tomorrow before it’s too late
Just a little catharsis for the starts of the sharts and riddles laughing with the Paul Blarts and the minor parts of life’s ridiculously caught in betweens  and middles.

— The End —
