Be careful when you love another not to unlearn to love yourself.

Poetry by MAN

Someday

Worship taste you
I would never waste you
Ravage your body then I'll face you
I am your M.A.N
Hold more than your hand
We can make plans know where I stand
I am the real
It's what you feel
Putting a seal on this new deal
Show you I'm true it's what I do
Yes I'm a fool one for you
Drop the disguise you are a prize
A Khaleesi an empress in my eyes
Queen of the moon but that's been done
Love for you burns like the Sun
Till the day we become one
I'll beat in your mind like a drum
Take my words with a grain of salt
Fact that I love you is not my fault
Not looking to catch but I caught
Or looking to rent so I bought
Into you I fall away
Disappear into what I say
Serious with these words I play
To hold you in my arms someday.

M.A.N 8-1-14

Your Hands Are Heavier Than Before

i thought i was holding your hand
but i guess i was holding your heart
you said "don't let go"
i said "oh" as it hit the asphalt
do you think gravity knows
that it makes people fall
does it know we go down hard
because i think you broke the sound barrier
on your way down to me
but i just let gravity send your heart
straight down to the street
i wasn't thinking
or maybe i was
just not about you
i'm selfish
and so is gravity
so i guess you could call it natural
and you can call me gone

We Know Nothing

In the beginning there was nothing.
The nothing from which we came.
The nothing to which we will return.
            The nothing that we were...

Before the word

Before light and dark

Before good and bad

Before truth and deceit

Before life and death

Before the complexities of reality and unreality...

The Beginning.
        The Universe.
                           God.
                              Us.
                                 Nothing.

                          We are nothing.
                      Everything is nothing.
                         Nothing is eternal.
    (So) What will become of us in the end?



                        We know nothing.

Unconditional

I can't help it.

      I
   still
   love
   You.

The Mentality

H I S , T O R Y.

     From the Greek word histōr;
     Learned, wise man.

                                               Need I say more?

Living in a man's world.

Overflow

I overwhelm with love.
Expressing it freely
because I don't know
how much time I have
left on this earth to say,
"I love you."

So I say it often
and I say it loudly.
I say it boldly
and I say it proudly.
I love too much
because I don't know any other way of loving someone.

You see my greatest strength
is also my biggest weakness.
But most of all
it's my greatest downfall.

And I keep falling.
