The Road Is Long

The road is long and the days are short.  
Life consists of only so many miles.
Enjoy the ride while you still can.
Someday, you’ll run out of gasoline.

Life consists of only so many miles.
Take heed not to speed.
Someday, you’ll run out of gasoline.
Don’t let the rigorous journey discourage you.

Take heed not to speed.
Savor the curiosities that you behold.
Don’t let the rigorous journey discourage you.
Find the beauty in the bumps and turns.

Savor the curiosities that you behold.
Enjoy the ride while you still can.
Find the beauty in the bumps and turns.
The road is long and the days are short.
A pantoum poem
The happiest place on Earth
Should be you
Period
I mean it
Don't sheepishly laugh
You know it should be true
So stop seeing right through
And be the one that speeds right through

Never be lonely because you're never alone.
Everything happens for a greater reason.
Very many have suffered from a broken home.
Even the best of things come out of season.
Realize that there is purpose behind the pain.
Bringing out the direction that I can't explain.
Evolving and molding into a brand new form.
Love wins over all and brings on reform.
Only the lonely know how it feels to go through this.
Never deny the purpose and reason that we all exist.
Elements of the universe coexist for a greater plan.
Leaving salvation in the palm of your hands.
Yes it is written and the line is drawn in the sand.
Nothing wrong with a little fornication
It's much more pleasant than all the allocations
People have daily
But I'm more of a creator
Than a destroyer
So that shouldn't be too shocking
You just got to be smart
Nothing wrong with getting down and low

He's standing on the bridge
He's been staring over the edge for an hour now
So close yet so far
Only seconds to be destined to his second biggest fear
The river it turns into currents of tears he has cried, these sorrows won't leave him alone
The wind as it howls- it turns into voices they cry, "we're here, don't you leave us alone"

He's standing on the bridge
He's been staring over the edge for two hours now
A masked man approached him, put a gun to his head, said, "give me all you got or you're gonna end up dead!"

But he begged for his life
Said, "please don't make me choose
I have a future and a family
Just too much to lose"

"Oh please" he said again
But when he turned his face
The gunman disappeared
With a wallet in his place

His body hit the water
And the man looks at the ground
The gunman was his brother
He finally cried out loud  

"Oh why would you do this?"
He says with tears down his face
"There's just too much to live for!
Who's gonna take your place!?"

But it's too late, the river won't
Spit him out, it's nature,
But it whispers, "heroes save lives
What about your self?"

He takes a step away
While the sirens take his place
The sun is going down
As he makes his way home

Woke up without my memories/thoughts dispersed, I'm scared/agitated

Woke up with you by my side/didn't know twas you

Didn't know twas true how I dreamt of having you there/but now I barely even know myself

Those who remember it thought we were perfect

Lost in my memories/lost without them I'm still

Not sure what to do/I should be lost without the love they claim we have, we had/but I don't remember, I may as well be dead, reborn, undead

Those who remember it thought it too good, unreal

And now my nightmare's caught up with me/I feel like I woke up in my bad dream, still dreaming I wake up how I slept

How could I forget a life so dreamy they say/I must have been playing hide not seek in my head, and now I can't figure out where my memories at

Yet I'm sure someplace within my mind, if it's any consolation/I'll always love you, even if I never remember

And maybe one day, maybe never, I will remember/and when such a day comes or not, please remind me never to forget again

My fatal fetallity

Winter winds wail out
All is gone except for gloom  
Lonely; cry in vain

I sketch a face
strong of bone
'tis my love
'tis my own

planes of cheek
line of jaw
insistent flesh
sinews raw

something female
in your long curls
but it's plain
that you like girls

I consider
as I mix the paint
I wish to render,
captivate

your sweet fleshtones
rich and warm
The tan quality
of arm

mixing pink
burnt umber, gold
I use brushstrokes
deft and bold

a touch of green
'round your eye's fire
black pupils swollen
with desire

chestnut hair
and eyes of blue
I have finally
captured you

won't put this painting
on my wall
'nor place it in
an attic small

I'll place it in
my heart's museum
a room where
I will always see him

he'll be near
I'll bring him hence
always in remembrance

in him life
I will embue
he is the imagery of

YOU
