To Care or Not to Care?
Jace Albine May 21
It's never too late to start to care

But it's always too late to pretend to care about

What you do not care about
May 17 · 47
Diamond Head
Jace Albine May 17
It suffers all the tragedies you ever could come to know

Just to turn them into a fine powdery snow

Of solid diamond shards

But you would never not joke

It's all so fine

That you'd pass it up

As every other thing

You've ever wasted

In the single greatest gift

That you'll all ever grow

Breath it in

Breath it out

Figure out all else

Or just leave it

For someone else

I couldn't convince a stone to turn to coal

Let alone a mind that thinks that they already know what they've been told to know

You know?

Time
Jace Albine May 17
Make it forever

And it will make you

Right back
May 17 · 44
The Eternally Me
Jace Albine May 17
If there's something else

There's everything else

If there's nothing else

There's still someone to call it

Call me

Call me calling all the shots

Misses

We just threw it away

It rolls right back to me

That just happens every other day

There's nothing I could say to make you want to go your own way

Except when you think you left my words forever

But we both know you still read them

I know

Unfair for me to leave an impression upon you

Boo who?

There's nothing I'm trying to not say to make you figure out how to stay

She's in my arms

I'm the one who writes it

All

I think I just heard the

Recall

Totally

Once, twice, and up until the end of the dream

I'm awake again

What was on my mind?

I guess it was eternity

The eternal you

And

The forever me

For all time

Our time

The Colors of Change
Jace Albine May 2
The colors of change

The baby blue hues

The velveteen pink shears slicing prospects

A reuniting with thought's lost dreams

I wonder what will happen to you?

What will you do when the narrow breaks?

Will you falter?

Will you take the inside edge to try to get ahead?

Or will you cruise the skirts

Care free and well enjoyed

Stopping only to learn pleasure

In the aroused senses

And embrace

The colors of change
Apr 29 · 123
That's It
Jace Albine Apr 29
You read my mind

The only non-problem is

My mind never ends

I guess you're **** out of luck

For now and until forever
Mar 23 · 62
Eternal Strength
Jace Albine Mar 23
Death is easy

Death is every day

Choosing not to be it

That's what makes us strong
Mar 23 · 73
Everything
Jace Albine Mar 23
Everything you could ever think

Everything

Everything that could ever be

Everything you've ever said

Everything you've ever seen

Every life that's ever been

All comes crawling

Back to me

Back to me in time

All time
Mar 23 · 73
The End of the Dream
Jace Albine Mar 23
All our blood is on my wall

You don't know it yet

But if you go down

You go down with everybody
Mar 23 · 74
I Have All Vision
Jace Albine Mar 23
I have everything that will ever be

Won't you join me?
Jace Albine Mar 23
To all the stupid people

Who never figured out everything

Let alone themselves

I hope you are happy today
I'll be running away
Jace Albine Mar 23
Once again

The girl who fell down the well

Never knowing of man kinds personal hell

When you all wake up inside of a dream

Don't blame you

Blame me

Pleased
Mar 23 · 61
The Entire Universe
Jace Albine Mar 23
The entire universe

Inside of my eye

I'd be crying

If I wasn't already spitting
Mar 23 · 63
Never A Fool
Jace Albine Mar 23
I'll never be fooled

Fooled again

By anyone

Who isn't myself
Mar 23 · 38
My Whole Entire World
Jace Albine Mar 23
My entire world

Has been

Their evil lives

I'm just waiting until

They

Die
Mar 23 · 45
Be Moaned
Jace Albine Mar 23
When there's nothing left

Who will be there crying for all our tragedies?
At least I have my sense of humor
Mar 23 · 49
Think Fast
Jace Albine Mar 23
I might fall asleep

But you've got to know

I love it
Mar 23 · 47
Eternal Time
Jace Albine Mar 23
When there's nothing else left

What are you going to make of it?

You tell me

Because I always am
Mar 23 · 52
God Enters Wonderment
Jace Albine Mar 23
Life for me is effortless

There is only one thing being

And it's the easiest moment you could ever imagine

Cuz I'm tired

Gesundheit
Mar 23 · 51
A=B
Jace Albine Mar 23
A=B
A=B
And you can't prove me otherwise

Now you're all catching on
Mar 23 · 55
Sleep Walking
Jace Albine Mar 23
All my life has been

A dream

It

Doesn't

Mean

It will ever

Have

To be

An end
Mar 23 · 39
I'll kill it
Mar 23 · 46
Unafraid
Jace Albine Mar 23
I'm better than I use to be

I'm better than I am at being me

I'm in my dream's dream

Dreaming eternally
Mar 23 · 38
The Unforgettable
Jace Albine Mar 23
There is a place amongst the stars

Where the animals dwell

They talk about heaven and they

Talk about hell

When the taste gets old we spit it out

When the child gets told how it's going to go

I don't regret how they will show me up

I'd be a fool to think any other way

Even if it's better

I'll love you forever and I am not afraid
Mar 23 · 34
The Immortal Soul
Jace Albine Mar 23
If I were to die

Where wouldn't you take me?

Hopefully no place I wouldn't have created for myself

But you know what it's like to live forever

Sometimes you've just got to love again
Mar 23 · 64
Ascend
Jace Albine Mar 23
The last stroke of the wing

As you fly away

And see it

Left
Mar 22 · 64
I Always Am
Jace Albine Mar 22
And do you know what?

I always am again
Mar 22 · 56
Ha Ha Ha
Jace Albine Mar 22
I wish I wasn't here

And here

Is where I'll never be again
Mar 22 · 72
Crying Out
Jace Albine Mar 22
Crying out

In The after life

To just live

Crying out

After life

To just be dead

Crying out

For all the tears

That anyone has ever shed

I won't feel so bad

When there is nothing left

Crying out
Mar 22 · 54
Initial Impressions
Jace Albine Mar 22
All the times

And

All the names

For anything

That ever was

Or will ever be
All over again
Mar 22 · 61
Innocuous
Jace Albine Mar 22
There is an ending to all beginnings

But for one thing

I'll let you figure it out for yourself
Mar 22 · 170
One Broken Mirror Later
Jace Albine Mar 22
You might find yourself

Surprised

By all that you'll find

But don't be afraid

There's more to life than just the mind

If all was put in

There'd be nothing left

For all of us to reflect

Let alone reject
Mar 22 · 45
How Poetic?
Jace Albine Mar 22
How poetic is it all

That we all have to be recognized

Within time
Mar 21 · 61
The Only
Jace Albine Mar 21
The only thing

That humans know

That is believed to be true

That they were all alive

And that they will die

So getting you to believe in death

That's the easiest thing

But getting you to believe in something other than life's end

I don't see how that is an impossible thing

Being

Anymore
Mar 21 · 55
Contrived
Jace Albine Mar 21
Like all things ever thought

But it matters not

Eventually

I'll strike a nerve
Now say it with more feeling
Mar 20 · 66
The Answer
Jace Albine Mar 20
It could take us a lifetime to figure out the answer

Without ever knowing

That the answer was us the whole time
No time left to waste

Post haste
Mar 20 · 68
The Oddities
Jace Albine Mar 20
A silver fleck breaking off your boutonnieres glitter

Champagne corks flying through the air

The simple silhouette in the night that you admired from your own light

After asphalt sets lays cracked but only recognized from the bumps of your car's suspension shock jostling your system in a familiar way

The mummified remains from a distant star

The polarizing view of the taxidermied and the taxidermist

The curse that you believed

And the curses you believe broken

Cracking open the tomb at dawn

The mausoleum of Rome on fire

The Egyptian eye of Horus in Osiris's head spin

The most reoccurring patterns of intelligence's creation

Premonitions

A meteorite kept inside of a temple

Karma and none other

Star signs and all the constellations forming perspective

Introspection perception

Tarot in a voodoo man's smiling hands

The biggest building you could ever imagine alone on a distant planet's horizon

The souls that wander on and on and never not knowing what off meant

The spirit that rises in the East never knowing what "East" actually was

The museum left for only the dead

The cryptid that had its beheaded be head

The after math when all the numbers stop making sense

The senseless who learn how to make sense all over again

The giants who walked in the titans foot steps

Just to trip at the base of Olympus Mons

A symbol that somebody once believed in

Death by the cross

The others that never knew how good it truly was to get

The Babylon baby born with two heads

Speaking in all tongues

One thinks of the right and the other dreams of left

The picture of Satan next to your God's head

The thing you thought was real

But you forgot you were in a dream too

You awaken to find everything is still always changing around

anew

The simulation within the simulation

The humanoid on display for the world to see

The monster kept at bay from the back of your mind's imagination

Slipping away like a shadow being in the corner of your eye in the morgue

Graves to soon be

Graves that always were

The power hungry politicians who never realized that they were only actually just killing themselves

The tree that bends in half on a fateful day that sets them free

A wiccan praying at their roots

And burning up their leaves

The dinosaur who was mutated and tried to believe

The fish who walked on land first

The personality that has more eyes to see than senses

The universe as it goes in reverse and then irreversed

Little tricks of the mind while you wonder in your wonderings pastime

How the majic monkey paw both manifests and counts

All the faces you've ever been

The very meaning that people truly set their entire lives around turned upside down a generation later

The willingness to commit and the unwillingness to be committed

Little oddities like the mermaid who is more fish than human

Or the moth's mouth that could eat the whole entire world

In a single bite

All the misunderstandings that were ever mistaken

The alien within ourselves

Godzilla in a salty bath tub

And the whole galaxy in a lake

I'll leave it

For more or less

What one decides to take
Mar 20 · 63
A Dripping Meaning
Jace Albine Mar 20
I'm dripped in meaning

And I really am

Meaning it
All purpose
Jace Albine Mar 20
I exist within the

Subconscious mind

Becoming consciousness

I alter the minds of all things that will ever come to be

I hear in the distance

A whispering

Sigh

There is a place for

You too

In

All time
Mar 20 · 78
I'm Not Afraid
Jace Albine Mar 20
I'll be singing

Freedom into

God's last ear

Which

Evidentially

Is yours

Ringing out forever

I suppose
Mar 20 · 638
Take A Look
Jace Albine Mar 20
I'll look at everything forever

There is a place

Where all answers lie

Thank you for all your words

But I won't pretend

Like I won't live forever
Mar 20 · 65
All Things Ever
Jace Albine Mar 20
To all things ever

There's a place where it mattered

And so did everything else
Mar 20 · 39
To Never Die
Jace Albine Mar 20
Quickly like those who are born into life

We figured out how to answer the question of all that is

And guess what's next?

We'll never give

In
Mar 20 · 47
Love Nuked
Jace Albine Mar 20
No one ever responded. . .

Ever again.

Until we realized

We are passed their hatred

Forever

And they actually

Could

Never

Win.
Mar 20 · 72
The Dreamer
Jace Albine Mar 20
When the dreamer awakes

With them

Taken

All that was

Dreamt

Will they ever truly

Understand

Themselves?
Or does it already know

But doesn't want to wake up?

I guess it's a bit of all

That you'll ever know
Mar 20 · 61
For All Things Ever
Jace Albine Mar 20
If there's any left overs

I mean anything left unfulfilled

Just know that I'm always satisfied

Now use that to fuel your desires

But know that all dreams

Don't just dream themselves
Mar 20 · 44
Wait For It
Jace Albine Mar 20
If you really want it

It will either come to you

Or you've got to make it happen

And the two can coexist

All things can exist

But one's more likely

All life is a gamble

That we've already won

But you've got to play the odds

And sometimes

You might

Just get

Lucky
Mar 20 · 34
Individuality
Jace Albine Mar 20
Individuality

Is the only thing that keeps me from being you

And from you being me too

And I wouldn't have it any other way
Mar 20 · 50
It Is
Jace Albine Mar 20
It's in some of

The simplest moments

Of solitude

I saw how true

It all was

It's in these times

I reached out to share

They were all thinking

Something different

But our

Lives

All existed

Within the simplest of truths.
And true it always remained
Mar 13 · 76
I Am
Jace Albine Mar 13
I am

All the best people

After me there are no others

That don't realize

How good life could truly be

Even if the entire world betrays me

It doesn't mean I will ever betray myself
