Sometimes...
I lack the inspiration to write

Sometimes...
I want to sit back and,
rather than put pen to paper

I just want to read...
and enjoy the beautiful gems
on display here on HP

But the problem is...
there are too many gems
so many, I fear I won't grasp all
afraid I'd miss out on some,
some of the best ones.

So here goes...
If time passes and
I dont come by your world
its not because I don't care
neither because I'm too busy.

Sometimes I'm just overwhelmed!
So please forgive me
in advance...

I'm sorry
For some unidentified reasons I'm just not in the mood to write today
I hope it goes away soon.

I'm sorry I'm not thin enough
I'm sorry I'm such a ***** up
I'm sorry that I don't always have the best attitude
I'm sorry I'm such a mess
I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy.
But don't worry.
I'll be gone soon.
I won't be in your way anymore

*Im sorry I couldn't hold on
Tell my nieces and nephew I love them more than anything in the world.

They're the scary ones.
The,
What if I don't stop at the light?
And I let that semi hit me
What if I veered a little to the right
Let the guard rail crush me like stone
What if I went so fast around those turns I couldn't control the wheel?
Id like to tumble down the hill and say goodbye
What if I decided to make it home safely?
But pressed a little harder in the tub
What if I didn't wake up tomorrow?
*What would you do?

Realize,
The true lightning within your stormy eyes,
Awake.

For once, my soul is silent.
Absent of the familiar griffins & phoenixes that ravage & terrorize
my painted mind...
For once, my soul is silent.
Drinking in the muted opinions
of this colorless world
& allowing its comfortable tides
to turn me a dull grey.
The blue skies
that once lined my lungs
have now faded,
Replaced by spray-painted nimbus.
The 4 suns orbiting my Cordibus
have betrayed their axes.
Now dragged down
by the weight of the very air
that once danced in my being,
Sinking to the singing earth
that will one day
shield my burning bones,
I await my birth into a new existence.

For once, my soul is silent.

The flow of days proceeds abeam
Through ups and downs of minds that scream,
Enough!...Just let me be at peace,
From turmoil's tension, seek release?
And yet I glide from day to day
Counting cost in dissaray
To contravene my rule of thumb
Where brick wall bashing heads is dumb....
Yet on I lurch from year to year
Now comatose to feeling fear
Innured to all but that extreme
Which proves my origins have been
Excessive in exposure's grit,
Outrageous in the stench of ****...
Outlandish in it's waste of time
Which better spent, could have been mine.

Forests burn in ashen skies
Atmosphere of putrid lies,
Fat Cats write their cheques of gold
Another thousand hectares sold.
Forest fall for short term gain
**** tomorrow's children's pain.
**** the leaden poisoned air
Here and now is all they care,
High grade autos, classy chicks
Snort white powder, cash for kicks.....
Use it all at headlong speed
**** tomorrow...Let it bleed!

Off the Serpent's head I say
Abruptly end the Fat Cheques day.
End the **** of forest green
End the poisoned air obscene.
We owe it to tomorrow's sky,
We fix the problem...or we die.

And.........
You know the tragedy at hand?
It's that no one here will make a stand;
We'll shake our heads and turn away
And pray that sanity will play.

The Dogs will ride roughshod and bold
Until established stranglehold
To throttle those who dare to caw,
Intimidate with threat and claw.

I've seen it all, I'm sick to say,
The Bulldozers shall have their way.
The Powerful, who write the cheque,
Stack all the cards and rig the deck!

This ship has been the Best
But with the passage of time
Its turning Sour

Oh! How could this be
Was it due to my ignorance
Or your Pride?

All along I thought our
Smiles, Anger and Argument
Meant a lot to you
Like it did wit me

Guess it was all a mirage
And yes,I would pretend
We Never happened
